But Mav88, the Constitution is a political document - so you can't teach (or indoctrinate) that? Are you also skeptical to the idea of a school system?

That's pretty bullish.

Yes, you're absolutely right that civilian shields etc is a violation of international law - I tried to make that point as well. I'm also not trying to defend or justify terrorism - just for the record.

Well, I don't believe in fairytales either - that's for sure. I agree that this really is a question of principles: Are civilians legitimate targets in a war? The Geneva convention which the US is party of says no. Do you also agree that terrorism towards civilian targets is legitimate? Most do...

1. Not true: According to the CRS, during the Clinton administration, one person in uniform died as a result of hostilities and another 75 died as a result of terrorist attacks. By contrast, during the first six years of the Bush administration, 2,596 troops died from hostilities and 55 from...

Pabst disagreed with the censorship remark, and I referenced the censorship of pictures of coffins, which he then argued there's a history for. That doesn't mean it's not censorship, I argued in my reply. Who's got the biggest d*ck in terms of trading profits is besides the point, I agree -...

Listen, I'm not here to "diss" Pabst's trading abilities - he's got nothing to prove there and my "salesman" remark was trolling and uncalled for.

1. North of 1m USD in around six years might not compare to a local of many years. 2. So a history of censorship invalidates the fact that it is censorship? 3. Cannot be bothered to do the research.

Lol, AAA and Pabst - the non-trader and the salesman, but sure active with their enlightened opinions in P&R. Censorship? Sure, remember all those pictures of soldiers in their coffins? No? That's right... That's what censorship means. Remember critical questions being asked at the White...

Guys, the nazi-era of US was with the last administration. In the wake of 9/11 the conformity of public opinion, the censorship of media, the treatment of differing voices was all completely against everything USA has stood for up through history. The propaganda machinery of the W administration...

"You betcha".

Branding blunder gives Russia-Nigeria energy linkup a bad name Joint gas venture brokered by Dimitry Medvedev is labelled Nigaz http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?sid=97274982967&h=8xga8&u=HAnf8&ref=nf It probably seemed a good idea at the time. But Russia's attempt to create a joint...

IOUs, so who'll be clearing the OTC-trades :) As for business opportunities; prisons (crime will rise), moving trucks (exodus), prostitution and pimping (women selling the one thing they have left). Welcome to the Hotel California...

LOL, it's the "Einsteins" of ET displaying their creative skills :)

I'll compare IB with the MBT feed next week. I've also compared IB with EBS and HSFXi and found IB the winner about 80-90% of the time. Btw, does anyone know what flow goes through HSFXi on Scandies vs EUR and USD? Is there anything at all?

TraderKGB said that MBT's ECN has spreads comparable to IB. I'd be interested if anyone can offer a closer comparison as I've completely neglected looking at MBT as a potential partner. My experience is that noone beats IB.

I'm surprised the moderators doesn't do it's job properly and clean up the thread instead of just moving it to Chit Chat. It actually started as a legitimate thread about a news event and two stocks. But then again, ET has for a long time had poor moderation.

nokomisjeff dodges the question.... is there a third option? Jem's post is logical and makes sense.

Michael Jackson's albums has immediately skyrocketed to the top of Amazon.com's sales charts. As of now (6am ET) the top 15 album chart is exclusively MJ...

Why would shorting Sony be smart? I'd say it's a Buy, as there will be an immediate increase of airtime, reruns of documentaries etc. However I can hardly see MJ being a large part of Sony's profits - must be a neglible part of their combined revenues. When a painter dies, what happens to the...
