Lesson in logic for longshot and co.

Lookie at that wouldja. Maybe my comment about liberals at some stage of their lives being the subject of "Why Johnny Can't Read" was right on the mark. The vote is 26 - 28, waggie. Read it and weep son. Stick around, Jimmy.

Yeah, me too reg. Nice, ain't it? Same Carrow's near Maryland and Tropicana, right? Yeah, that's the one. Shoulda seen Don dig into those bread rolls. Remember that big bull market in wheat last year? There's your reason. And the Bright Lifetime Achievement Award - that is Big. I'm...

Forget about reading the paper, RS. You need a remedial course in reading itself. I wonder whose not putting "any thought" into what he writes? Can't believe you didn't 'get' my little jibe.

Holy guacamole. I think I detected some English in there, but I can't be sure. Anyone got a decoder key for this one?

Okay, it's not "one or two", it's precisely 1.67 per day since hostilities began, for a grand total of 460 US deaths up to 12/17. So much for me picking up a paper. Maybe you should pick up a history book and find me a war that was executed so successfully on such a massive scale with such a...

Bravo bung! I couldn't have said it better myself. Liberal politics in a nutshell.

I also checked with Robert Shiller at Yale and he tends to concur.

Ah, Don ya old sea dog. I wouldn't be surprised if you're doing more than 0.2. (Otherwise why not self clear?) And I'd have a hard time believing those most of those rents are higher than $4k/month, considering you don't need prime location and most offices are quite small. But yep, no hard...

Oh okay then. Then why defend taking dime winners by saying you can still make $100k with them? If you are talking about netting a dime, then it doesn't matter whether your average winner is 60 cents or 5 cents. Talk about obfuscating. As for my numbers, I wonder just how far off reality...

Oh okay. I see. You're not a "liberal", you just find it easier to debate that side of most issues. Gotcha. And why, may I ask, do you find it 'easier' to debate that side of an issue? Couldn't be because that side of the coin makes more sense. My buddy Sean Hannity proves that every day...

I don't think having a family is really all that much of a 'success', unless you say your goal was to have a family, which you then achieved. Still, since it's not really very hard to have a family, I'm not sure that I feel like a huge 'success' simply because I managed to have a family, even...

Can there really be any doubt about the motivations? 5000 shares is what's being pushed now? Yowza. 5 positions x 5000 shares x (say) 0.2 cents/share x 2 entry/exit x 500 traders x 200 trading days = $10,000,000. Nice. I also appreciated the reply to the question of how to go about...

Look RS, you're a liberal. So, virtually by definition you're wrong about most of the opinions you hold and policies you advocate. Since the only reason you ever get to hold office is because you're supported by all the losers and deadbeats who at some stage of their lives were undoubtedly the...

I think you meant, "if you want jimmie to stay vote (b) NO", right? "Yes" would mean you want James to leave. Anyhow, (c) imlies "not only should James not leave, [i]no one should leave". It still a vote for James to stay. If [b]no one should leave, then James should not leave. Just...

That's some twisted logic. option (b) 'No, you've done more good than bad' is saying he shouldn't leave based on the idea that he's done more good than bad. option (c) 'No one should be asked to leave' is saying no, he shouldn't leave, based on the idea that no one should be made to...

From the article: "There had been a killing, and there was a fear of reprisals," he says. "So people were asked to pray simply that there would be no more violence. And there was no more violence." Just like me. The other day I prayed there would be no cyclones today. And today there...

I'm not sure I agree it is a "futile" quest. Maybe if the quest was for (ever) more material possessions. And I think the advertising and entertainment industries are more guilty of perpetuating the idea that owning x or y is the last word in success, or that Mr x or Miss y is "successful"...
