I've read opposing statements, but can someone clear this up for me please: Do Life Timers have.. A.) 1/16th of land they are allowed to buy without having to pay taxes. B.) 1/16th of land they get to have without having to buy it and don't pay taxes on it. Thank you

Yes and No.  Lifetimers get the ability to hold up 1/16th of a sim without paying any more $US. If they already own that much land they get to keep it. If they don't they can purchase it like anyone else.

but of course, if you own more than 1/16 of a sim, you will get billed monthly for that land. 1/16 of a sim is(( 4096 meters) 1 Acre) Now. we have this settled so the Lindens have to make good on the other half of the promise made. WHERES MY NEW MULE?!?

Jovian,
The answer is A.
You still have to CLAIM the land with linden dollars (L$1 per sq m seems to be the current official number).
As a lifetime member, you are allowed to claim up to 4096 sq m without changing your subscription arrangement with Linden Labs.
Any attempt to claim land beyond your 4096 sq m allotment will prompt you to make an additional subscription arrangement with Linden Labs.
Subscription arrangements with Linden Labs are normally paid in US dollars, but a large amount of linden dollars (2000 Linden Dollars for each US Dollar) may be used in part or full toward your payment if you have the means in L$ to do so.

Just in case anyone is wondering, Lifetimers get the weekly $500 base stipend.
