Some days the ES doesn't allow you for more than 0 pts if you're lucky. And those days you should consider yourself lucky. Remember the different time periods, and look for confimration that the time period starts when you're expecting, or do you need to reassess - timeout ? I find the most...

Firewalker, like abogdan says we've all been there. It's a horrible feeling, and the only thing to make you feel better is having some good days again. Then there's the issue of long term losses which will offset your possibilities to regain your losses. Stopping doesn't really help, especially...

So, peace accords and agreements like the one ending WWI, and any other peace accord or non-agression agreement is just a lot of luke warm air ? Remember Gorbachev and Reagan on Iceland, signing deals ? BTW, I do love the Euro and have my base currency in EUR for trading purposes. ;-)

You should see the reports on the big increase in saferooms here in Brasil, esp. Sao Paulo. Gun laws are lax, drug related crimes are high, police are brutal and corrupt .. sound familiar ? ;-) Well, I guess one thing out of the oridnary are the number of cars which are fitted to be bulletproof...

It is triggered by motion sensors, which don't even calibrate down to (small) animals, and it's protected by a short spiked fence with a permanent 9000V (10Joule) animal fencing current (driven by a solar-powered charging car battery). Besides - the whole thing is placed on top of a 2,3m high...

So, your conclusion is "out with democracy" and in with "do the opposite of what the enemy/people trying to kill us wants" because "what's bad for the enemy is good for us" ? Are you talking as one who might be victimized by terrorists or more in terms of geopolitical or military strategy...

Don't forget that more than 90% of the spanish population was against the government support of the US invading Iraq. Is it possible we witnessed democracy at play in sunday's election ? Was it democracy succeeding or the terrorists succeeding, or maybe both ? Perhaps it was an unevitable...

Don't forget that Turkey is an important member of NATO, and has been dealing with the Kurds for a long time, and most of their human rights violations are in regards to the miniorities issues - in some ways hindering their much wanted entry into the european union. The split in the NATO...

I think there's nothing wrong in showing flaws in arguments, or trying to influence the world into a better place. Also, there's a difference in ranting for the hell of it and actually having a point to prove. Bashing is a negatively laden word, just as terrorists as opposed to...

That was what made the europeans and others change their attitudes (after the Kuwait invasion) during the last years of the standoff before last years conflict. It's important to have a lot of money for advertisement this day and age, and some candidates are a lot more successful in raising...

He wasn't a bastard dictator before ? What was the logic flaw again ? And who's blaming Saddam's late (?) mother ?

I too love mondays nowadays. When I was working as an self-employed computer consultant in the late 90s - even months when I'd earn 30 000+ USD - I never felt really good about mondays and the new start of a week like I do now. The definite low point was after I sold the companies and started...

.. and during the 70s and 80s - who was it who supplied him with arms and military technology (even chemical weapons info) & support to fight against Iran again ? They must have been of the less foreseeing part of the gene-pool. Harry, as far as I remember Donald was involved with Iraq in...

Not to add insult to injury, but I guess there has been some reports of catholic pedophile priests in the US of late ... And quoting Likud etc. hardly makes it hard to take the arguments serious. Religious extremism is stoopid - period. Keep it out of politics, military, economy and public...

I think this idea already was covered in the muslim Sharia Laws ... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=sharia+law In Nigeria, they wanted to stone a woman who had a child out of wedlock. In Saudi Arabia the frequently decapitate people. Thieves will get their hands cut...

"God Bless" makes you sound kinda scary ... Do you really mix religion with politics or economics ?

Actually I had the same problem, it was down for most of the latter half of the day, with the same message. When investigating some further, the system status stated that 'some customers were experiencing problems'. The help page also displayed numerous Oracle database errors with regards to...

Tell me, what is the 1st commandment (christians)? How many people have been killed and 'assimilated' because of this 'commandment' ? There is so much violence in the Bible, it's enough for everyone already, not to forget the still ongoing extremist religous people instigating more conflict...

There are some concerning issues still with the US economy which could effect equity valuations. Company earnings are good, but we tend to base valuations on future performance nowadays. Some nice threads in the 'economics' section about this. The last 12 months rally after the Iraq-conflict...
