uaw workers are people who weren't smart enough to attend a university, and not intelligent or ambitious enough to learn a marketable skill, but for some reason believe they're entitled to earn $35/hr for tightening bolts. that's why union-built cars are so overpriced.

this is the typical stupid stat the airlines like to use to prove flying is safer. normalized against miles flown/driven and driving is far safer.

i didn't misread anything. i'm certain you didn't bother to read the whole post. the stat i used was deaths per million HOURS of flight time, and i converted it into deaths per miles flown.

it's funny how airlines always say that flying is safer than driving, but they're just manipulating the statistics. the fatality rate for airlines is 1182 per 100 million flight hours. that works out to 2.36 per 100 million miles, assuming an average of 500mph. the fatality rate for...

ha ha, this post is soooo PC. have you dated a chick in her 30s? they are scorned and bitter from past experiences with men. they spent their 20s focusing on their career and realized they're now over the hill, with wrinkles and having gained 15 pounds that they can't shed even with heavy...

women in their 20s tend not to be much into fitness, as their age/genes seem to be enough to keep their figure. none of the girls i know in their 20s work out regularly. (twice a month doesn't count.) but when women get into their 30s they become work-out monsters (some of them anyway). oh...

is it "a" motivation? hell, it's THE motivation!!

op - you seem like a smart guy. you won't like being a cop, it will bore you. most cops have brains equal in size to their testicles. the job is more about interpersonal skills & dealing with people than with smarts or brain-usage. i'm even surprised you were a mtg broker. that and real...

have you ever been right with any predictions? i hope you didn't put your money where you mouth is

like i said before, put your money into money market funds. they operate transparently. you know what they invest in, and you know the financial soundness of those investments. the same cannot be said for your bank. there have been far, far more bank failures than cases where a mmf drops...

cutten you offer many wise words my friend. i agree 100%. a couple of years ago i was dating a gorgeous 23 year old. then one day she introduced me to her mom. oh goodness gracious. she was middle 40s but very obese and looked 10 years older. i was shocked how different a daughter can look...

never heard of NCUA, have you?

and what if the bank is not publicly traded, as are the vast majority of them?

why do you say that vista is not compatible with your video card? maybe the problem is your video card is not compatible with vista.

1. i'm dating a 22 year old now... the previous two I dated were both 23. there is no shortgage of young women who want the security of a 30ish guy but don't want an old fart.. 2. yes, many guys lose it when they turn 30 but i take time to work out and eat right, so i haven't fallen into...

banks don't have additional insurance coverage. why do you need to put all your money into the bank? usually their credit interest rate sucks. i spread my money across money market funds and have a few CDs. MMF's arent insured but at least they're transparent with what they do with your...

this year i went to my 15th high school reunion and couldn't believe my eyes. how did all those cute 17 year olds turn into wrinkly, overweight prunes so quickly? i thought perhaps my nostalgic memory was playing tricks on me so i thumbed through my h.s. yearbook, and it confirmed those girls...

no offense but it shouldn't take anyone 2 months to figure out that user interface. i think it took me 1 week to learn how to do 90% of what i needed. these days i hardly trade with ib anymore, but it's not because of the user interface. there are plenty of other reasons why they suck, but...

has anyone been suspicious of the yield quotes from ib? for instance, a few weeks ago, a short GOOG efp was supposedly yielding 5.75%. but look at the math... - the efp had a locked profit of $162 - the cost of 100 shares of GOOG was $52000 - there were 27 days left until delivery...

hmm, why didn't the Persian Gulf war of 1990 cause massive inflation in the late 90s and early 2000's? maybe your theory is just stupid.
