I think Scientist pretty well sumed it up with regard to value of ANY book. And that is..... what ever information you get out of it is what you didn't have before. Kiyosaki's repetition was boring, but then my financial mindset was already higher than most people's. But for someone...

Nolan With all due respect the points you raised is exactly what I want to avoid bantering about. The question wasn't whether the war is right or wrong, but rather what is it that is behind terrorism. Some want to blame religion, some politics. But is there more to it? I offered a...

http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/faq/faq2.htm#when What is the main cause of all the trouble in Northern Ireland? Is religion a big part of it? The conflict in Northern Ireland is usually explained in terms of the different constitutional aspirations of the two main sections of the community in the...

So did you learn anything valuable from it? If its dated info, seems it wouldn't be worth reading, even if you could afford the price.

If the reason was purely religious, one would expect Muslims worldwide to be actively engaged in terrorism. But they aren't. Therefore one has to logically conclude that an outside element is contributing to this. Middle eastern cultures so not place the same value on life as we do. They...

spect8or, when I said to get past politics and religion I was referring to getting past the daily debate as to which party is right or wrong and to get past which religion is right or wrong. Something most people are incapable of doing. Your remark about continuing to create an atmosphere...

Guys, I understand where you're coming from in your posts. My point is simply that constructive efforts soon relapse into knock down drag out bloodletting debates about religion and politics. Frankly I'm tired of it. I spent a good part of my adult life active in politics. Doing everything...

this is not "health insurance" per se, however it looks like a fairly good plan. Worth investigating. My Chiropractor and Dentist are listed as providers. If yours isn't, all they have to do is make a phone call. Other major carriers limit the number of providers, thereby forcing you in...

Do democrats hate the rich? No, they love them. Democrats aren't dummies, they know where most of the tax dollars they love to spend come from. Are they Socialists? Most (not all) of the active members have been swayed to that level of thinking. It wasn't always that way. In the...

Okay, lets simplify this thread. Get past politics and religion. We have how many million young Americans that will be looking for jobs? How are we as a Nation going to address the issue? I think Friedman has a point about young Muslims and the lack of jobs. We could be facing that...

SOCIAL SECURITY: (This is worth reading. It is short and to the point.) Perhaps we are asking the wrong questions during election years. Our Senators and Congresswomen do not pay into Social Security and, of course, they do not collect from it. You see, Social Security...

Oh that life were as simple as a 16 yr old thinks it is. Wonder if he'll ever ask real questions and have an independent thought. Garbage in, garbage out.

Sulong, Yes the R-word was here first, but if the differences become the focus of our attention, a solution will never be found. Ones beliefs are seldom more important than eating or the feeding of children. What is at issue here is the basic hunger for opportunity and a chance to enjoy the...

Thanks for the thread. The real issue in America isn't between Democrats and Republicans, its between Socialists and Capitalists.

Anyone read the recent article by Thomas Friedman (New York Times) regarding young Muslims? It provided food for thought. Let me preface later remarks by simply stating I’m a person that looks for ‘root cause’. Unless the root cause is addressed, all solutions are temporary. Anyone...

Scientist, Great post !!

AMEN !!!

you 've gotten several suggestions, none of which would top my list. To make things simple and eliminate all the confusion this is causing you. Simply send it to me. PM me and I'll supply the address to send it to. :)

Maybe because trading from jail is hard IMHO. Kicking dogs and beating spouses and kids will get you into trouble. Here they can rant, rave and pick fights. For some, that may be all they're looking for.

This is unreal. I submit a post stating that it doesn't make a tinkers damn who is President because Congress controls the budget and you call me an imbecile. Then you rant and rave, proclaiming the virtues of one particular party. You just don't get it do you. As long as voters, yourself...
