To think that 'Strawman' thing is a load of tosh? or is there some truth in it?

[AmberLeaf]

Have seen links and references to 'Strawman' posted on Facebook and other forums.

Meet your Strawman

So, is it nonsense or is there any truth in it?

Actually, the payment comes out of the vast amount of money which your strawman has accumulated over the years, and your signing the document as "Accepted for value", authorises them to take the payment from your strawman account and that suits them as well as suiting you. There is a web site for checking how much you strawman is worth - see this video where the presenter discovers that his strawman has $224,440,000 as it's current balance and the web site also states who is currently managing the strawman account for him. Your writing "Accepted for Value" means that you are authorising them to take the amount they want out of the strawman account which has such a large amount in it that the balance will hardly be affected at all.

Proof that this is a cut and paste from some american bollocks. UK birth certificates don't have this number on it.

And putting a 3 digit number from your US birth certificate into a website and finding that it corresponds to the number for some sort of hedge fund? What a coincidence! And if your 3 digit number doesn't come up with anything, then they've lost all your strawman money. Uhuh.

What a load of bollocks.

So is this a one world government thing then or are the straw men in developing countries once again being screwed over and are worth less tha $2 a day?

Furthermore: is there any sort of gender discrimination between straw men and straw women?

Also: can we have a tinfoil hat emoticon, please?

That site is in Spanish, and is being automatically translated into English by Google.

You may draw your own inferences from that.

By the way, once upon a time, according to Charles Dickens in David Copperfield, marriage weren't validly contracted if one spouse's name had been misspelt upon the certificate, thus allowing one partner (according to Mr Dickens, generally the male one) to skip out on the other.

I think that such loopholes in the law were thus closed in Victorian times.

Actually, I withdraw that. It's originally English language- I misread what my computer was telling me- so the writers can't plead translation error fro any of it.

I'm going to pelt them with rotten tomatoes now.
