Your question is so interesting that I called my father, an architectural engineer, who's worked on hundreds of large buildings and bridges over the last 35 years. Here's what he said: Knocking a building down is easy. The challenge is to bring down the building without destroying other...

Since this is in the politics and religion forum, I'm going to assume it's a religion question and say I'd go with "Three Floyds Alpha King." That's a beer I can believe in. On the other hand, if it's a political question, then I'm voting for Three Floyds Alpha King for president. Honest to...

The country is very closely divided on this issue. The polls I've seen in the past that do follow-up interviews generally reach the the same conclusion. There are groups at either end of the spectrum (unwaveringly pro or con); and there's a fairly large group in the middle (about 20% of the...

Following is the best analysis I've seen: The decision to decertify the class was 9-0, not 5-4 as widely reported. As Justice Ginsburg's partial dissent begins, "The class in this case, I agree with the Court, should not have been certified under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(b)(2)." All...

Have you ever taken a science class? Have you ever taken a statistics class? If you had, you would understand how ridiculous (aka, ignorant) your statement is.

I agree with your concept of the value (i.e., ROI) of preventing "adventurism." However, many countries benefit from such a strategy and it seems the US always gets stuck paying most of the frieght. It's time for the rest of the world to pony up and do their part while we scale back... Way back.

I'm not sure how you'd measure ROI, but my guess is it's pretty damn low. It's time to shut most of our foreign bases (unless the hosting country wants to pay us handsomely for what we provide) and bring our troops home. Let's put our troops on our borders where we'd get a much higher ROI by...

You'd think they'd be satisfied manipulating commodes. For Christ sake they control the entire market. But no, the greedy bastards are going after bidets, too. Where will it end? Bathtubs? Kitchen sinks? I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!

You made it quite clear in your previous post that you dislike women. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=222310 First you post that men shouldn't care about women who are raped, then you attack a woman for what she's written. You need to get some serious therapy...

Do you actually know any women? I mean real women, not the inflatable kind.

Perhaps, but this makes his case nonetheless. College admissions are now driven by racial politics rather than academic achievement.

The UC system will limit Asian enrollement: "A new admissions policy set to take effect at the University of California system in three years is raising fears among Asian-Americans that it will reduce their numbers on campus, where they account for a remarkable 40 percent of all...

This won't get decided until it reaches the Supreme Court.

Even if we assume that big pharma controls the US and other western countries, what about countries like Cuba and Venezuela that would like nothing more than stick a finger in the eye of the capitalist pigs? Cuba has been experimenting with low-cost and "natural" cures for cancer for over 30...

1) Use part of the time to continue to build the skills required for trading. 2) Get a real life with hobbies, relationships, etc. that have nothing to do with trading. Over the long run, having balance in your life is very important.

That's really the point. This mess, like virtually all our country's problems were created by Dems and Repubs together. "The final bill resolving the differences was passed in the Senate 90–8 (one not voting) and in the House: 362–57 (15 not voting). The legislation was signed into law...

This is not new. Berkeley was like that in the 1980s when I went to school there. My science and math classes were all at least 50% Asian (California is about 10% Asian). I never had a problem with it because they were smart and worked their asses off. Seemed fair to me. But there were a lot of...

Where did you get those numbers? "The final bill resolving the differences was passed in the Senate 90–8 (one not voting) and in the House: 362–57 (15 not voting). The legislation was signed into law by President Bill Clinton on November 12, 1999."...
