Bokchito is one of the most crowded states in the USA. According to recent statistics, more than 6 million citizens live in this area. Being such a populated region of the country Bokchito in Oklahoma is expensive for living. That's why it's needed to have more money to feel satisfied with your dwelling in this state. So, different types of loans are used frequently in Bokchito of Oklahoma OK. However, not all of these solutions can be helpful for those individuals who need money for instant purposes because to get most of these credits, required to spend hours waiting for the decision of their lender. That's why for people who want to get cash fast, it's better to avoid applying for conventional loans. In this situation, it's better to fill out the form for Bokchito title loans.
Bokchito title loans are the most frequently used alternatives to conventional types of credit. The main reason why they are so popular is the fact that people who get money with this option aren't obligated to provide much information about themselves. In most of the forms that are needed to apply for Bokchito car title loans, borrowers are required to add only this data:
Furthermore, in most of the companies, it's also needed to provide contact information. Clients are permitted to use their email addresses or phone numbers. Such information allows lenders to confirm that this's a real human being who has applied for the loan. In most of the financial organizations that specialize in this industry, this's the only way to make sure that a particular borrower will be able to make all payments before the date required in the documents. So, it also means that the companies providing online loans don't check their clients' credit history. That's why you can get the sum needed to satisfy your financial needs even if you have obligations in other organizations.
One more thing that will help you find out if a particular lender works lawfully in your state is the presents of all legal documents that include:
It's much less difficult to get a federal license because, to formalize this document, the lender only has to follow the rules required by the federal government. However, the first kind of license has stricter criteria because the organization has to obey all of the requisitions of the state where it provides car title loans Bokchito in Oklahoma OK. And if a particular lender operates in different regions of the USA, it's obligated to get a state license in each area. That's why if you want to fully protect yourself, it's recommended to send applications to those lenders that have both documents. To get aware of the existence of these materials, you ought to visit the website of a particular financial company and go to the page where it provides all legal documents to the users.
One more thing to mention is that before filling out the form, you need to pay attention not only to the documents themselves but also to the date when they were formalized because there can be a risk that the lender tries using expired licenses.
Title loans in Bokchito of Oklahoma are referred to as a secured type of credit. It means that in case if a particular citizen of the state wants to get cash using this method, he ought to provide a car as collateral to the lender. Such a valuable pledge allows financial organizations to get aware of the fact that the borrower will be able to return the money on the due date. Otherwise, they will be permitted to legally confiscate this vehicle. Furthermore, such collateral makes it available for lenders to provide bigger sums with lower rates.
However, in case if a particular borrower wants to get approval for auto title loans in Bokchito of Oklahoma, he needs to draw attention to several rules most of the companies confront the transport. These requirements include:
These conditions are only those that are met only in every company providing easy title loans Bokchito in Oklahoma OK. However, some lenders are permitted to include additional criteria for the vehicles that are exploited for collateral. If you want to avoid a lot of additional rules, you should carefully read all of the legal documents inclusively «Terms and Conditions.» In this material, you will also get acknowledged about the rights you have while cooperating with a particular lender.
Even though getting American title loans Bokchito in Oklahoma OK allows having money with low interests, sometimes even those individuals who are suffering from a lack of cash avoid applying for these credits. They are afraid that they won't be able to drive their car while paying off. Nevertheless, in almost all organizations, it's possible to utilize the car as you want before you haven't returned the whole sum. The loan itself is also available to use as you want, and you don't have to provide any information about how you've spent your cash.
As collateral, it's allowed to use not only your personal automobile but also your trunk or a lorry. The only requirement most of the companies have is they ought to belong to the person who has sent the application, and some of the lenders approve only the forms with the copies of the documents that can prove that.
As people who have already got online loans to mention, one of the most significant cons of conventional credits is that it takes too much time to borrow cash this way. It's really so because, to apply for more traditional alternatives, clients should not only choose a particular lender that combines low APRs with the possibility of getting bigger sums but also to the office of this financial organization to provide a set all of the required documents. After filling out the form, it's been checked, and this process can take up to several hours before all facts in the application are verified manually. Furthermore, the representatives of the lender pay special attention to the credit history of the clients. That's why in case if you have financial obligations, there's a chance that you will get a negative decision.
Bokchito car title loans from direct lenders are a great solution for people who don't want to spend hours waiting when the company approves their form. The most lasting activity here is to choose a particular company. To get absolutely satisfied with the service, clients ought to draw attention to these characteristics:
After choosing a particular company, the only thing you are required to do is to apply for the loan. In most cases, such forms are situated on the main pages of the websites.
When the application has been sent, you should wait less than 10 minutes to get approval for Bokchito title loans locations. Furthermore, the best lenders make their decision for 5 or even 3 minutes. The sum of the credit will arrive at your active bank account on the next working day. That's why if you want to get cash quickly, you ought to avoid sending the application on holidays and weekends because the loan will come only on the next business day.
Although the list of conditions for car loans is much shorter than for more conventional alternatives, there're still some requirements provided by most of the companies in this final, and the restrictions on having several credits in a raw are one of the essential rules.
Such a condition is obligated not only by the lenders themselves but also by the federal law. It's needed to avoid situations when a particular individual decides to get several loans in a limited period. As a result, in the time of payment, he finds out that he cannot return borrowed money. So, his debts become bigger than they used to be earlier, and one day he becomes bankrupt.
Even though such a restriction allows avoiding such situations, some people don't understand that and still trying to get several car loans from different companies.
To get money via title loans in Bokchito of Oklahoma OK, you only need to meet the easy criteria of the lender you have chosen, among others. A particular company can change the list of conditions. Nonetheless, most of the lenders include these requirements:
Most of the applications for American title loans Bokchito in Oklahoma OK get approved. However, some lenders can decline your form because:
However, even if the application is denied, you can try sending the form one more time after waiting for a couple of days or choosing another organization.
All of the lenders require different rates for affordable title loans Bokchito, Oklahoma OK. APRs depend not only on the conditions of a particular organization but also on the sum the client gets. In most companies, the rates for credits that are less than $2,000 are 30% per year; if the borrower requires the sum from $2,000 to $3,000, he will have to pay off the interests the are 24%. The lowest rates are for car loans that are more than $3,000 because they are decreased to 18%.
That's why it's better to get more cash in case if you are eager to spend less money.
The paying off process is quicker than making payments for the alternatives because you aren't aimed to go to the lender to do this activity. It's dining online, and you can pay off in two different methods:
With the second option, you don't have to make payments for the days that are excluded from the conclusive period of the best title loans in Bokchito.
Car title loans Bokchito in Oklahoma OK are the most useful solution for people who are looking for a fast way of getting cash. With this alternative, you should only use a car as collateral. But there're other online loans, and most of them should be avoided. The main reason not to apply for these credits is that you will have to pay off higher rates for the sums that aren't as big.
If you need to get cash via Bokchito auto title loans, you ought to think beforehand if this's the best solution in your situation. Pay attention to the alternatives provided by the government first.
But if there aren't other options, it's better to be careful while choosing a particular lender. To avoid working with scammers, find out if the lender has all documents. To make sure if you've made the right choice, you can use our service. We are a group of experts who are dedicated to the financial industry.

Wenever there's new content, I'll let you know in a fun and entertaining manner :) My mom's on this list, so trust me, I won't be spammy.
Marriage can be a real killer. One of the most critically acclaimed suspense writers of our time, New York Times bestseller Gillian Flynn, takes that statement to its darkest place in this unputdownable masterpiece about a marriage gone terribly, terribly wrong. As The Washington Post proclaimed, her work "draws you in and keeps you reading with the force of a pure but nasty addiction." Gone Girl's toxic mix of sharp-edged wit with deliciously chilling prose creates a nerve-fraying thriller that confounds you at every turn.
On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy's fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick Dunne's clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick Dunne isn't doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife's head, but hearing from Amy through flashbacks in her diary reveal the perky perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media—as well as Amy's fiercely doting parents—the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he's definitely bitter—but is he really a killer? As the cops close in, every couple in town is soon wondering how well they know the one that they love. With his twin sister Margo at his side, Nick stands by his innocence. Trouble is, if Nick didn't do it, where is that beautiful wife? And what was left in that silvery gift box hidden in the back of her bedroom closet?
Employing her trademark razor-sharp writing and assured psychological insight, Gillian Flynn delivers a fast-paced, devilishly dark, and ingeniously plotted thriller that confirms her status as one of the hottest writers around.

If so, this will have been stated in the description of the products on our website. We will contact you to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract (and paragraph 9.2 will apply) or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the products late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.
6.11 Reasons we may suspend the supply of products to you. We may have to suspend the supply of a product to:
6.11.1 deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;
6.11.2 update the product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;
6.11.3 make changes to the product as requested by you or notified by us to you.
6.12 Your rights if we suspend the supply of products. We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending supply of the product, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. If we have to suspend the product we will adjust the price so that you do not pay for products while they are suspended. You may contact us to end the contract for a product if we suspend it, or tell you we are going to suspend it, in each case for a period of more than 14 days and we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the product in respect of the period after you end the contract.
6.13 We may also suspend supply of the products if you do not pay. If you do not pay us for the products when you are supposed to (see paragraph 11.4) and you still do not make payment within 14 days of us reminding you that payment is due, we may suspend supply of the products until you have paid us the outstanding amounts. We will contact you to tell you we are suspending supply of the products. We will not suspend the products where you dispute the unpaid invoice (see paragraph 11.6). We will not charge you for the products during the period for which they are suspended. As well as suspending the products we can also charge you interest on your overdue payments (see paragraph 11.5).
7 Your rights to end the contract
7.1 You can always end your contract with us. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing and when you decide to end the contract:
7.1.1 If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the product repaired or replaced or to get some or all of your money back), see paragraph 10;
7.1.2 If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see paragraph 7.2;
7.1.3 If you have just changed your mind about the product, see paragraph 7.3. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions and you will have to pay the costs of return of any goods;
7.1.4 In all other cases (if we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind), see paragraph 7.7.
7.2 Ending the contract because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending a contract for a reason set out below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:
7.2.1 we have told you about an error in the price or description of the product you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;
7.2.2 there is a risk that supply of the products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;
7.2.3 we have suspended supply of the products for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than 14 days; or
7.2.4 you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.
7.3 Exercising your right to change your mind (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). For most products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund. These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms.
7.4 When you don't have the right to change your mind. You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of:
7.4.1 personalised products, unless they are faulty;
7.4.2 products sealed for health protection, once these have been unsealed after you receive them; or
7.4.3 any products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.
7.5 How long do I have to change my mind? How long you have depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered. If you have bought goods, you have 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the goods, unless:
(a) Your goods are split into several deliveries over different days. In this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receive the last delivery to change your mind about the goods.
(b) Your goods are for regular delivery over a set period (for example monthly orders). In this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the first delivery of the goods.
7.6 Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind. Even if we are not at fault and you do not have a right to change your mind, you can still end the contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. A contract for goods is completed when the product is delivered and paid for. If you want to end a contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you have not changed your mind, just contact us to let us know. The contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for products not provided but we may deduct from that refund (or, if you have not made an advance payment, charge you) reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the contract.
8 How to end the contract with us (including if you have changed your mind)
8.1 Tell us you want to end the contract. To end the contract with us, please let us know by doing one of the following:
8.1.1 Email. Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com. Please provide your name, home address, details of the order and, where available, your phone number and email address.
8.1.2 By post. Write to us at the address set out in paragraph 2.2 and include details of what you bought, when you ordered or received it and your name and address.
8.2 Returning products after ending the contract. If you end the contract for any reason after products have been dispatched to you or you have received them, you must return them to us. You must either return the goods in person to where you bought them, post them back to us at the address set out in paragraph 2.2 or (if they are not suitable for posting) allow us to collect them from you. Please email us at email@example.com for a return label or to arrange collection. If you are exercising your right to change your mind you must send off the goods within 14 days of telling us you wish to end the contract.
8.3 When we will pay the costs of return. We will pay the costs of return:
8.3.1 if the products are faulty or misdescribed; or
8.3.2 if you are ending the contract because we have told you of an upcoming change to the product or these terms, an error in pricing or description, a delay in delivery due to events outside our control or because you have a legal right to do so as a result of something we have done wrong.
8.4 What we charge for collection. If you are responsible for the costs of return and we are collecting the product from you, we will charge you the direct cost to us of collection. The costs of collection will be the same as our charges for standard delivery.
8.5 How we will refund you. We will refund you the price you paid for the products including delivery costs, by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the price, as described below.
8.6 Deductions from refunds if you are exercising your right to change your mind. If you are exercising your right to change your mind:
8.6.1 We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.
8.6.2 The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer. For example, if we offer delivery of a product within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.
8.7 When your refund will be made. We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible. If you are exercising your right to change your mind then:
8.7.1 If the products are goods and we have not offered to collect them, your refund will be made within 14 days from the day on which we receive the product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the product back to us. For information about how to return a product to us, see clause 9.2.
8.7.2 In all other cases, your refund will be made within 14 days of your telling us you have changed your mind
9 Our rights to end the contract
9.1 We may end the contract if you break it. We may end the contract for a product at any time by writing to you if:
9.1.1 you do not make any payment to us when it is due and you still do not make payment within 14 days of us reminding you that payment is due;
9.1.2 you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the products; or
9.1.3 you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the products to you or collect them from us.
9.2 You must compensate us if you break the contract. If we end the contract in the situations set out in paragraph 9.1 we will refund any money you have paid in advance for products we have not provided but we may deduct or charge you reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your breaking the contract.
9.3 We may withdraw the product. We may write to you to let you know that we are going to stop providing the product. We will let you know at least 5 days in advance of our stopping the supply of the product and will refund any sums you have paid in advance for products which will not be provided.
10 If there is a problem with the product
10.1 How to tell us about problems. If you have any questions or complaints about the product, please contact us. You can email or write to us at the address set out in paragraph 2.2.
10.2 Summary of your legal rights. We are under a legal duty to supply products that are in conformity with this contract. See the box below for a summary of your key legal rights in relation to the product. Nothing in these terms will affect your legal rights.
Summary of your key legal rights
This is a summary of your key legal rights. These are subject to certain exceptions. For detailed information please visit the Citizens Advice website www.adviceguide.org.uk or call 03454 04 05 06.
If your product is goods, for example a bottle or crate of alcohol, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says goods must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. During the expected lifespan of your product your legal rights entitle you to the following:
a) Up to 30 days: if your goods are faulty, then you can get an immediate refund.
b) Up to six months: if your goods can't be repaired or replaced, then you're entitled to a full refund, in most cases.
c) Up to six years: if your goods do not last a reasonable length of time you may be entitled to some money back.
See also Exercising your right to change your mind (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013).
10.3 Your obligation to return rejected products. If you wish to exercise your legal rights to reject products you must either return them in person to where you bought them, post them back to us or (if they are not suitable for posting) allow us to collect them from you. We will pay the costs of postage or collection. Please email or write to us at the address set out in paragraph 2.2 for a return label or to arrange collection.
11 Price and payment
11.1 Where to find the price for the product. The price of the product (which includes VAT for UK purchases) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct. However please see paragraph 11.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.
11.2 We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
11.3 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product's correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product's correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order.
11.4 When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment with all major card issuers, including VISA, Mastercard and American Express. We do not currently accept China UnionPay. You must pay for the products before we dispatch them. We will not charge your credit or debit card until we dispatch the products to you.
11.5 We can charge interest if you pay late. If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% a year above the base lending rate of the Bank of England from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.
11.6 What to do if you think an invoice is wrong. If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we will charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.
12 Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you
12.1 We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.
12.2 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products including the right to receive products which are: as described and match information we provided to you and any sample or model seen or examined by you; of satisfactory quality; fit for any particular purpose made known to us; supplied with reasonable skill and care; and for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.
12.3 We are not liable for business losses. We only supply the products for domestic and private use. If you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
13 How we may use your personal information
We will only use your personal information as set out in our PRIVACY POLICY.
14 Other important terms
14.1 We may transfer this Agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract.
14.2 You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing. We may not agree if we consider, in our sole discretion that we would not be able to perform the contract for the other person due to time or product constraints.
14.3 Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms. Neither of us will need to get the agreement of any other person in order to end the contract or make any changes to these terms.
14.4 If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
14.5 Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
14.6 Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These terms are governed by English law and you can only bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the English courts, subject to the following exceptions: (i) if you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Scottish or the English courts; and (ii) If you live in Northern Ireland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.

BANGKOK — Pop star Rihanna spent a weekend at the beach in Thailand, leaving behind a trail of racy tweets and an incriminating Instagram photograph showing her cuddling an endangered primate. That didn't go down well with authorities, who arrested two people for allegedly peddling protected species.
On a break from her Diamonds World Tour, Rihanna visited the Thai island of Phuket, where she befriended the wildlife.
An Instagram photo she also shared on Twitter showed her in sunglasses snuggling up to a furry primate called the slow loris and was captioned: "Look who was talkin dirty to me!"
The slow loris, a squirrel-like animal with big eyes, is native to Southeast Asia and is listed as a protected species.
"Phuket authorities were alerted to the picture [of Rihanna], and last night police arrested the two individuals who brought out the loris as a photo opportunity for tourists," a Phuket district chief, Weera Kerdsirimongkon, said by telephone Sunday.
Police confiscated two lorises from the pair—a 20-year-old man and a 16-year-old boy—who could face charges of possession of protected animals. The charge carries a penalty of up to four years in prison and a 40,000 baht ($1,300) fine.
Weera said authorities have tried for years to crack down on the problem of vendors exploiting wildlife, particularly in popular tourist areas where people pay to pose for pictures with elephants, orangutans and other animals.
"It's like a cat-and-mouse game. But this time it's bigger because a celebrity like Rihanna posted the picture, and there were more than 200,000 'likes' from around the world," he said.
Rihanna also posted a picture of herself playing with a herd of elephants in the street Friday night, with the comment: "They all hail Empress when She walk by."
On the same night, she tweeted a few unprintable comments about what she apparently witnessed at an adult show in one of Phuket's red-light districts.
Saturday's social media postings were devoted to the beach and photographs of the singer in a black bikini on a boat surrounded by turquoise water with limestone cliffs in the distance.
Before leaving Thailand on Sunday, she posted from the airport: "Gave the immigration guy my passport and he handed me this in return without a word. Lol." The Instagram image had a picture of the singer that said "I love Rihanna."
She performed on Sunday in Singapore before her tour heads to Australia and New Zealand.

When president Bashaar al Assad delivered his latest speech last Sunday, his first since last June, the world listened with expectations and anticipation. For those who thought that Assad would give some concessions to the opposition, or offer a some kind of political compromise, he appeared more defiant than compromising.
In his speech Assad did not acknowledge any role for the opposition. Instead, he labeled them as "terrorists" and offered to negotiate only with the Western powers whom he described as the "puppet masters" of the opposition. Assad also outlined his plan for ending the conflict in Syria by appointing a new government and writing a new constitution that will be put through a national referendum without mentioning his own role in this process. This is an indication that he will remain in power no matter what kind of settlement is reached.
Although Assad may have been defiant and projected a clever, albeit false, perception of a man who is confident and actually winning the war, history and reality, however, are running against this assumption no matter how confident and strong Assad made himself appeared to be. The conflict, which started two years ago and claimed the lives of over 60,000 Syrians has transformed itself from opposition groups demanding political reform a to full-blown armed insurgency that will not stop until Assad is toppled from power.
A 2010 study by Washington-based Rand Corporation on armed insurgencies and counterinsurgencies (COIN) showed that the vast majority of COIN operations ended up losing the conflict because of their failure to take several important measures that are critical in winning the war. Those measures include, among others, strategic communication, development, political reform, democracy, civic freedoms that will address the grievances of the insurgency, and the population.
The study titled "Victory has a Thousand Fathers" researched 30 armed insurgencies from around the world such as Turkey, Afghanistan, Iraq, Rwanda, Senegal, Croatia and Burundi. It showed that insurgents won in 22 cases, while government COIN operations won in only 8 of them.
In the case of Turkey for example, which won its COIN war against the Kurdish Workers Party (PKK), the win was made possible only because the Turkish government addressed the Kurdish population demands to have its own political and cultural rights thus depriving the insurgency from its popular support. It also made deals with countries that supported the PKK insurgents. The Turkish government won the war also because it made economic development in Kurdish areas as part of its strategy to win the war against the PKK.
Similarly, the US won its COIN war against the Sunni insurgents in Iraq because it addressed the Sunnis demands and incorporated them in the Iraqi political process.
Conversely, Iraq during Saddam's era lost its COIN operations against its own Kurds because it used repression and brutal military campaigns that ultimately failed to win its war against the Kurdish Insurgency. Iraq also failed to address the grievances of its Kurdish populations and did not seek a comprehensive political settlement for the conflict. At the end, these factors doomed not only the rule of the previous Iraqi regime but also Iraq itself.
The same is true in the case of Sudan which failed to crush its Southern insurgent movements and relied on military solutions only. Sudan ended up not only losing its war against its southern insurgents, but also lost half of its country.
Similarly, the Syrian regime is using repression and violence to crush the opposition and regularly using its heavy weapons against defenseless population. This strategy will at the end destroy the Assad regime no matter how much violence he uses against either the population or the armed opposition.
Taking into account those historic cases of armed conflicts between regimes and rebel groups it becomes quite clear that Assad is misinformed and ill-advised by the Russians, the Chinese and the Iranians who are his only international allies.
Meanwhile, the trajectory of Assad's past behavior as evident by this speech and by the actions of his armed troops on the ground clearly shows that he is doing everything he can in order to lose the war despite winning some battles.
Assad is not showing any indication that he was interested in winning over the population and offered no plans that have real democratic governance, nor any to rebuild or address the devastation in Syrian cities.
Moreover, he is also losing the public relations and strategic communications very badly. Almost all of the regional and international media outlets project him and his regime as a bloodthirsty dictator who massacred thousands of innocent civilians as millions more fled their homes to become refugees in neighboring countries. Adding to that is the fact that his regime, is besieged by international sanctions, while many countries withdrew its diplomatic recognition of its regime in favor of the opposition. For Assad, the end might not be imminent, but, for sure, history is not on his side.

"Dont use all Gods blessing and say you dont believe him.
You think you dont need him, but you live on His dependency. That is
In next tv show, i would like that all of your members, create a sun
and give to all people that believes what you believe. Or create the
air, and give to them. Or create a land, and plant and give food for
them. Not just plant, but create a land where you can plant and give life.
If you dont believe him, dont use air, dont use food that come from
land you dont create. Dont use your car, or ur home, because man uses
raw material they didnt create.
We all depend on Him. We cant create air, or sun, or anything."

Awww, isn't that cute?ReplyDelete
I mean, the idea of excluding us from using air, food etc. Good ol' Christian moralities.
Yeah and fucking magnets!ReplyDelete
Christians are fucking SCARY. Seriously...ReplyDelete
Why can they not just believe their delusions and leave others to believe what they want?
Just mind your fucking business already!
I couldn't disagree more with this post. I would insist that we stop using all of Zeus's blessing(s) and say we don't believe in him.ReplyDelete
I got to get me an edumication
I cannot make an amazing cake...but thats not going to make me stop eating one when I see it.ReplyDelete
...and now I want cake. Thanks a lot Jesus.
Of course I can create all those things: I can do anything you claim that your god can do.ReplyDelete
I just choose not to.
I'm certainly not going to do it merely to prove I can. I guess you'll just have to take it on faith that I can do these things.
So, here's the deal:
Tell your god to take all these things away, and then I'll replace them. Then, assuming I'm still here by the weekend, I guess that'll prove that your god is not more powerful than I am.
I took him up on his challenge and created a sun and air. He can go outside and see the sun. He's probably breathing the air right now. If he doesn't believe me then he needs stop using the sun and air I made especially for him. I mean it's not like these things grow on trees (I should know, I created those as well and if he doesn't believe that he needs to stop using those too).ReplyDelete
Just more of the 'without him we are nothing' crap... nothing new here...ReplyDelete
Thanks. I still get a huge kick out of things like this. There's something just so incredibly amusing about trying to figure out how someone can think this way.ReplyDelete
As bizarre as this email seems, it is probably not too far from what a lot of really indoctrinated xtians believe. Their premise is God exists (even if we don't know all the exact details), so their logic follows.ReplyDelete
My parents are good people, even scientifically literate, but I don't think they understand that someone can not believe in God. It just isn't within them to comprehend disbelief because they have always "known." So when I told them I didn't believe, it didn't really register. They thought it was a rebellion. In their opinion, of course I know there is a God, I just don't want to be held to his constraints.
It is very odd, it took me a while to digest. I understood it a bit more when my wife (who never went to church or talked about God) was surprised when I told her I didn't believe. She said "what do you mean?" I asked if she did and she said "of course...I mean, yeah, of course" and then a few months later we were talking to someone else and she mentioned she didn't believe in God to them. She had never said it to me, but I guess she had just never really considered it until I brought it up.
I always have the same question:ReplyDelete
WHO would be convinced by this argument?
And this here is why it's vitally important for the premises of one's argument to actually be valid and accurate.ReplyDelete
Starting with "gawd made everything" a priori, the rest of his "logic" produces some bizarre conclusions.
This is why I despise when a person demands "Let me finish! Let me get through the whole argument first!"
No. There's no point after the first bad premise.
So what's the name of this logical fallacy? The "fuck you I'm right" fallacy?ReplyDelete
If this quality of argument actually does sway people to become believers, then I begin to understand the level of intelligence that I frequently encounter with fundamentalists.ReplyDelete
Don't use apostrophes either.ReplyDelete
@Sparrow Something like that. It's about as snobby as the "I'll pray for you line." It basically says that "I'm right, you're wrong, and you should know better," while leaving no room for discussion.ReplyDelete
lol @ "fuck you I'm right fallacy" so funny. I literally laughed at this.ReplyDelete
So god's powers are limited to "atmospheric control, nuclear fusion, and teraforming"ReplyDelete
So God is about on level of power with a Vorlon?
In seriousness, someone point out to that guy that we only NEED those things god gives us because he supposedly made us to need it. Breeding a kid to be a diabetic and then giving him insulin isn't all that altruistic.
I think all animals that don't believe in God should stop using the Earth too! Well, that is a bit harsh. They should at least stop breathing.ReplyDelete
I said, "Stop breathing, panda! You too monkey! You too fish, well, I guess you're okay. You're not really using god's air."
Boiling down Ravi Zacharaias's "Questions to Ask an Atheist" to bare essentials.ReplyDelete
Yeah, guys, on the next episode could you please create a sun and give it to me?ReplyDelete
Sem embasamento para tal afirmação, se não tiver sido ele que criou porque ela não para de respirar ou usar sentir o sol?ReplyDelete
Realmente talvez ainda não possamos criar o sol, mas já sabemos do que é feito, talvez daqui um tempo poderemos criar não só o sol, mas já podemos 'fazer' a agua(H2O) e o ar(O2) também.
What exactly is the argument here? As far as I can tell, it's something like this:ReplyDelete
1) We can't create the sun, air, or land.
2) Somehow conclude that therefore, god exists.
3) Somehow further conclude that anyone who doesn't believe in said god should die (not use air).
Perhaps this person should use a bit more of god's glorious air. I don't think there's any oxygen going to the brain.
"Let there be Spell Check"ReplyDelete
For a second there I thought he's going to make you create trees.ReplyDelete
But the fish are using the oxygen from god's water, just like the pandas and monkeys are using the oxygen from god's air, so the fish should not get off the hook (pun intended)
If you don't believe in Woden, that means you're not allowed to exist on a Wednesday. No exceptions will be tolerated.ReplyDelete
Apparently he's an atheist to apostrophes.ReplyDelete
@Ing, since you mentioned Vorlons, your example reminds me of the Jem'Hadar from Deep Space Nine.ReplyDelete
They were genetically engineered to be dependent upon a drug that the founders created, but no one else knew how to synthesize. So, not only do the Jem'Hadar owe everything, including their freedom, to their creators, but the founders are also generous for giving them the drug they need.
"And I think to myself, what a wonderful world..."
Creating a sun? It's been done...ReplyDelete
The atmosphere/terraforming? Well, enough work by the star will create the oxygen/iron etc.
As far as domestic terraforming, is there anyone here who doesn't think that humans have extensively terraformed Earth already?
Give me a Freebirds burrito and I can make plenty of wind ;-)ReplyDelete
I regret to inform this viewer that he is mistaken.ReplyDelete
While he is correct that God is the source of all light, planets, food, water, etc, he's mistaken in how it came to be.
You see, I killed God and took his stuff.
I just decided to share the sun, etc.
You're welcome. :D
I think it's more like:ReplyDelete
[Unspoken a priori understanding]
1) Nothing can exist unless an intelligence creates it (whether mortal or immortal).
2) We can't create the stuff in the universe.
Therefore, god made everything.
[Written Argument]
1) God made everything.
2) You are using what God created.
3) You deny god.
Therefore, you either
1) Should stop using what God made, or
2) You are a hypocrit, you bastards, and I can cast ad hominem on you, and barring a saving throw, dismiss anything you say.
Hmmm... smoking too much of God's crack, I think...ReplyDelete
Another questionReplyDelete
The person believes in God yet is a ingratful hypocrite because he's only using a fraction of what God has given him.
If he truly believes in God he'll start making good use of God's gifts such as putting a hornet's nest down his pants to enjoy all that venom God made for him.
At least an "argument from the sun" is an improvement over the argument from trees.ReplyDelete
Andy_Dufresne said:ReplyDelete
"I always have the same question:
WHO would be convinced by this argument?"
And I ask, how can you argue AGAINST it?
This isn't an argument, it's a person who has been indoctrinated berating us for flying against all of their lifelong assumptions.
I think that the most effective argument against this thinking is letting them know that we atheists exist. Let that sink in and work its way into their heads.
This person spewed so much ridiculous bullshit that it made my head spin. He should ask his god why he still makes homosexuals.ReplyDelete
It's because of people like this that I've lost faith in humanity. I mean, I doubt he's stockpiling nucular bombs or anything, but someone like him is. Have you seen North Korea's leader lately? Insssssaaaaane...ReplyDelete
Oh well, at least not everyone is this batshit-foaming-at-the-mouth-about-to-have-an-aneurysm crazy. So, you know. That's something at least.
I have an argument for this guy:ReplyDelete
1) Advanced Technology comes from science.
2) You are using science to use advanced technology to get on the internet.
3) You deny science that gave you these technologies.
Therefore, stop using technology, or be a hypocrit.
Am I the only who realized that there's a startling deficiency here (and not just in logic)?ReplyDelete
Which god?
Note that for all the silliness in this 'argument', its exactly the same rationale behind most presuppositionalist apologetics. This is nothing but a crude extrapolation of theologians who say "You cannot use logic to argue against god, when logic presupposes a god."ReplyDelete
I call it the "Rain dance gambit". It goes like this:
-Rain dancing causes rain to come. -Even if you can determine a natural process for rain, you wouldn't have rain if it weren't for rain dances.
-You cannot therefore discount rain dances, since rain exists, so I win.
"Am I the only who realized that there's a startling deficiency here (and not just in logic)?ReplyDelete
Which god?"
Theists really only struggle to have people believe a god exists. After that, Pascal's wager and other irrationalities take over.
Caffeeine Addicted said: I call it the "Rain dance gambit". It goes like this:ReplyDelete

Sort of like the old saying; "if you believe that faeries create rain, then every time it rains you have proof that faeries exist"?

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Thousands of young Roman Catholics from around the Americas are converging on Rio de Janeiro, taking dayslong bus trips or expensive plane flights that were paid for by baking cookies and holding garage sales, running raffles and bingo tournaments and even begging for coins in public plazas.
Some of the poorest traveled from so-called "misery villages" in Argentina's capital, thanks to donations from the Buenos Aires archdiocese. Their agenda at World Youth Day includes meeting with other disadvantaged youngsters in Manguinhos, a favela Pope Francis plans to visit, and sharing stories about Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the subway-riding Argentine Jesuit they now affectionately call their "slum pope."
Road trips can be fun, but many have been expressing more profound emotions, excited by the changes they see in the church since Francis was elected in March. His first months as pope have already renewed their faith, many say, by showing how church leaders can get closer to their people and relate to their real-world problems with humor and a common touch.
"Like anyone else, there have been times when I haven't had this faith at 100 percent. Now I have more faith than ever, very high. I have my heart completely with God and no one can take me away from there," said Valentina Godoy, who traveled from Santiago, Chile, and shared her feelings from Brazil on a video her local church group posted on YouTube.
Francis joked when he first emerged on the balcony over St. Peters Square that the cardinals had chosen a pope "from the end of the world." But for many Catholics on this side of the Atlantic, he's not only the first Latin American pope. With his history of community outreach, many younger Catholics are saying that he's the first pope they can relate to in a more personal way.
"We were concerned after Benedict resigned, but when a Latin American pope emerged, so close to young people, it really changed the situation and our numbers grew. A little while ago we thought that there would be 5,000 Chileans and now we see that 9,100 of us are going, more than double what we expected," said Alonso Molina, the 21-year-old coordinator of a group visiting from Chile's Vicarate of Youthful Hope.
Brazil has more Catholics than any other country in the world and its church has struggled to compete with Latin America's vigorous evangelical Christian movements, so it's a logical destination. And while many Argentines were disappointed that Francis didn't choose his native Argentina for his first papal trip outside Italy, they were making the best of it: More than 30,000 Argentines were making the pilgrimage, the largest foreign delegation.
That includes President Cristina Fernandez, who cast aside her political rivalry with the former Buenos Aires cardinal after he became pope, and plans to make more displays of affection next week. While Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff invited South American leaders to the final Mass on July 29, Fernandez also plans to attend Monday's opening ceremony, Argentina's Catholic News Agency reported.
Hundreds of young Catholics left Buenos Aires cathedral Friday night in a caravan of buses on the 40-hour, 1,500-mile (2,500-kilometer) trip to Rio. Many others left earlier from provinces around Argentina. About 9,500 signed up from the United States; 5,000 from Paraguay and 4,500 from Mexico.
In all, 350,000 young Catholics signed up, similar to previous World Youth Days that later attracted much larger crowds. In any case, Brazilian authorities prepared to receive a million or more visitors during the pope's weeklong stay.
Many Argentines had already planned to attend last year, "but everything got bigger after March 13, with the boom that was generated by the news that the Pope is from our land and our city," said the Rev. Marcelo Miceli, trip coordinator for the Buenos Aires archdiocese.
The diocese channeled contributions and was able to subsidize all-inclusive trips for $500 a person, Miceli said. "We've received a lot of help from the community, many donations. It has generated an incredible wave of solidarity."
But despite months of lobbying by the Vatican's top diplomat in Argentina, Emil Paul Tscherrig, the church got no reprieve from Argentina's tax agency, AFIP, which refused to loosen currency controls so that pilgrims might be able to trade their devaluing pesos for Brazilian reals at favorable official exchange rates.
Pilgrims wanting to buy Brazilian currency in Argentina were forced to turn to illegal traders, getting about half as much money in return for their pesos. Those wealthy enough to have credit cards can use those in Brazil, and later pay a 20 percent penalty to the Argentine government for each purchase.
AFIP's press office refused to comment on the controversy, which prompted an official public complaint from the church: "We made many appeals to various government agencies, but we have not received official responses about the possibility of changing money," the statement said.
Paraguay doesn't limit currency trading, but poverty is a grim reality for many members of the Catholic church in that country.
"To put together the money necessary for the trip and our stay, since we're so poor, we had to ask for help from others and organize food fairs, selling noodles with chicken sauce, hamburgers, sodas and other fast food," said Ismael Diaz, who organized a group of 300 young people traveling from the Virgin of Rosario parish in the city of Luque.
Chilean youths told similar stories of bake sales, raffles and shaking cans in the streets to raise money for the trip.
"It's something I have always wanted to do. It's important for any young Catholic person to attend and to reconfirm their faith," Ezequiel Sanchez, a 28-year-old small business owner, said before he and 18 others from his church boarded their flight from Mexico City.
