Assuming current trends will last 10 years is usually a rather foolish thing to do.

lol quality > quantity and further lol for comparing Vietcong to Chinese forces. China is something the US would actually be prepared for. God help whoever hits the US military with something they've been itching, preparing, training, and planning for since the Cold War.

You all entirely missed my point. My point on America's military strength was in response to somebody saying that America would lose in a war to Iran. America will always act in its best interest. For the last 10+ years, stability has been key, hence why the US has always been there to take...

Ya, but the clubbing changes when the other team's club will pulverize, vaporize, and/or flatten your entire fucking country before you have any remote clue of what is happening. That is, assuming the US politicians will actually allow the military to use their full capabilities, unlike Iraq...

Just looking to get some new perspectives on the current proposed regulations to force credit default swaps to be exchange traded? While the banks obviously won't like this, isn't this what's for the best? And also, to clarify, would this mean that you would have to own a proportional...

Proper spelling and grammar would be appreciated, as well as some backing. I think he was asking for thoughts on the fairness of taxes, not on the existence of the Federal Reserve and the relation of the Fed to JFK's death. It's an interesting topic best left for another thread.

I agree that some taxes are very unjustifiable. However, in order for you to have anything that you have now (in the current day United States, for example), you probably could not have gotten it without: -Roads to get you to your job. -Clean and abundant drinking water. -Clean, fresh...

^^^That was before the US was in their backyard (sometimes literally). With the US military backing the dollar for the time being, and the US military being a much more significant presence in the immediate vicinity of those countries...the dollar will probably stick around for the next year...

The dreaded "I forgot about 1990 and that other massive communist controlled country" logic.

I always thought religion was about love, not murdering the other humans? What are we to God then, a giant chess game for his personal amusement? It saddens me a little bit. I see some progress made by people actually trying to figure out religion and invite people into good, quality...

There's a lot of little cliche things I could come up with about market opinions and actual trading. Like: Your dislike, distrust, and disagreement with that guy significantly larger than you does not mean you should fight him. In fact, you might be better off if you just stayed on his good side.

I think it's a great idea. If it already existed, it's a resource I would love to use.

A degree from Johns Hopkins will probably make those children more than enough to pay off the cost of going there. Sometimes, college is more than finding the cheapest school. You don't learn anything if you aren't compatible with the school, and sometimes there's more to a school than pure...

I always thought you were supposed to trade the line of least resistance. Clearly, the market doesn't want to go down. When it does, it'll stop consistently going up. (Duh.) Take a look at most "pops." Although on the multi-year charts it may look very sudden, on the 3 month charts it just...

Just got my copy yesterday. Thanks for doing this.

Which country has ciestas, which doesn't? Since you cite 2000-2008 as a very unproductive time.... http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/04/business/worldbusiness/04output.html I beg to differ.

It's funny how Baidu uses basically the exact same code google does (perhaps even the same one?), but "google sucks". I mean honestly. As Americans...would you want the American "gadget" or the Chinese "gadget"? Put yourself in Chinese shoes. Same thing, more money going to China...they're...

Thoughts? I would love to see some good discussion on the economic effects of this bill, as I don't know much about what it contains.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Texas No, you are spewing complete bullshit. Please read, or at least glance over, that whole page. C'mon, I shouldn't be able to embarrass you with a simple Wikipedia page. Texas had the second largest workforce in the United States, with...

Please look up post-WWII debt-to-GDP ratio. Arrogant Southerner? Sounds like quite the elitist comment. Which is ironic for an elitist to be calling somebody arrogant. Where are you from that is so great? Last I checked, the South is doing quite a bit better than the North. In fact, to...
