I liked the link you posted , but it's Iraq's one. It was indeed hit and destroyed by Israel. But Iraq of 80s was - military wise - lightyears behind Israel, which is not a situation of Iran now. As I already posted in another topic, Israel faces a huge dilemma in case of Iran - Iran's...

Yes, I've got this message twice :) . I see MortonHill really appreciates my posts, however I see the topics we discussed with him, gone.. I liked the second part of his PM : "...Do you know why US will collapse, BECAUSE YOU DUMB MOTHERFUCKERS ARE TOO DUMB TO SAVE IT You cower in fear...

I just went over the web and found Israel's news site - with more accurate details - 1027 bastards in exchange to one IDF captive soldier, who already spent 1935 days (since June/2006 ) in captivity. http://www.ynetnews.com/home/0,7340,L-4244,00.html Personally, I don't think it's a good deal...

Then, people who are going to be fired, pay their employer to not fire them and agree to work for free until they find some another job.. 'Cause it's better to work for free instead of going to jail. What a sweet business climat it will be.. And something tells me that if they anyway are going...

That's interesting point, but it doesn't look right from a second sight.. It's not a corporate paying less because it could. It's a government paing more because it didn't educate that workers, and they are not able to work on better jobs. I never heard about corporates paying $9/hr to...

Yeah, of course, very interesting point. WTF, simplify it to 'family level', and it will be crystall clear .. Let's assume - one family member is unemployed. Then his working brother/sister/father whatever gives him money to buy food/pay bills - this unemployed guy pays and many people providing...

Mathematically speaking, Bubble Ben still can do a change - decrease a rate to negative numbers! Why not, it's not a big difference - let's say , -0.25% interest, meaning you owe 99.75% of what you borrowed 1 year ago. In deflational world, the lender will be more then happy to get back 99.75 of...

Bombs made out of 6 tonn of f..ing fertilizer , thousands of pages of writing deployed over the web just before, 70 to 90 murdered kids in 90 minutes - all that by 1 32-old person ??? No f..ing way. All that needs a lot of logistic preparations , training, coordination, special skills...

Jobs , of course. The problem is that work isn't natural neither appealing state for human being. That said, human being should be forced to work. Because if they are not forced, they won't work. The way to force can be natural (hunger , pain) or artificial ( jealousy , moral, education). The...

hilarious! "Taken a step farther, some suggest, the law may make the debt ceiling itself unconstitutional" http://news.yahoo.com/obscure-clause-may-help-us-avert-default-172136367.html Just simple psychology issue of indebted to eye-balls borrower - finds for himrelf excuse to borrow more...

Let's exaggerate both directions: - everyone starts business, doing,producing, serving , etc. Economy is blooming, employment is in the sky, real GDP beats any dream - not a bad country. Yes, many businesses fail, but in such an environment people won't starve and won't sit around .. -...

What kind of conflict you expect there? It's not Buffet going to government asking something, the opposite is true - gov. guys coming to hime seeking his advise. And yes, he does believe in US and keeps a lot of long positions. So, any advise to improve an economy you can consider as conflict...

It's funny to make a following calculation : Greece has roughly $270bln outstanding bonds , if we divide it by Greece population (somewhere around 13mln) , it comes everyone in Greece owes about $21,000 . If we multiply this number - for US - by 300mln, it's about $6 trln , far less then even...

just about the subj: comparing other countries I lived in past, it's the best. Nothing is wrong with Canada. It does have its own problems, like any other country, but the problems are less severe that in any other place I can compare from my rich personal experience. Yes, the healthcare is far...

It could be worth a discussion if you would be little more educated about history realated to WWII times. And specially about that jerk named Hitler, who killed millions of innocent people(somewhere between 50 and 60 mln), part of them intentionally - because of his race theory - and the...
