Clearly, you are pulling information out of your arse. I took Economics this semester and learned about the Balance of Payments:

1. Current Accounts = exports, imports, net unilateral transfers abroad.
2. Capital Account = outflow, inflow.
3. Official Reserve Account.
4. Statistical Discrepancy (total from above must equal zero).

In other words, any discrepancies unaccounted for to make the Balance of Payments equal zero are put into the Statistical Discrepancy account. Things that usually fall into this account include things that are stolen.

ACTUALLY NO, THIS IS UTTERLY UNTRUE.

It is a well established fact that the the total IMPORTS by all the countries of the world DOES NOT EQUAL the total EXPORTS by all the countries of the world, even though it should logically do so.

Whilst I do not wish to pour cold water over my own "argument", there is a very real explanation for this... Leaders in every country in the world want to have their country appearing to do well to ensure either their reelection or at least kept he rest of the Junta happy enough not to have another military coup overthrow them. There is always an immense pressure to massage the IMport and Export figures in every country and always in the direction of belittling the impirt figure and exaggerating the export figure.

If one does not accept this lack of honesty in more than at least a few countries in the world, then indeed, the world must be exporting to somewhere else, and since space travel is not yet happening to other Alien nations, logically Santa must exist.

Whilst I did intend this thread as a joke and for entertainment, there was a darker and more serious side to it and I am AMAZED that no-one understood what I was saying.

To "prove" that Santa exists, I used the same level of proof and same, if not better, quality of "facts' that 9/11 Debunkers used to "discredit" the "9/11 Truth Movement".

...Hence the logic follows as such... if you are prepared to accept the official 9/11 story and the 9/11 Commission Report, and you are prepared to accept the arguments that "Debunkers" use against the "Truth Movement", then it is the same as saying, "I believe that Father Christmas will come to my home on Christmas Eve" as the evidence for such a statement is stronger than that for supporting the official 9/11 story.

In short, if a man in a cave in Afghanistan can plan and execute 9/11, then, heck, a fat man in an Arctic cave can execute Christmas Eve.

Oh, and I didn't notice the darker side for a while.
But yes, good point with that...
