Your plan as dictator sounds pretty enticing. Only downside would be your being "obscenely rich" would not make you very well loved in an economy that would make the Great Depression look like boom times. Which would be the result of "sky high" oil prices. This would lead to you having to...

Too bad you titled the (joke?) "A tale with a moral" Gave away the end in the first paragraph:(

Too stereotypical to respond to seriously. This is like a saying "all people with blue eyes are dumb" (or smart) (or are cruel) (or kind). Totally absurd!! Of course, you are welcome to your "opinion". It gives you great credibility. Peace, :)rs7

I don't see where Max mentioned "Arabs". He said people from the middle east. Like Babak and TM I took his post to mean more about them not saying what they mean (negotiation) than about being "liars". (Not that Saddam and other "middle eastern" leaders don't lie. What politicians anywhere...

So how's your trading going??? :)

Max, TF will probably give a cut and paste 10 page answer to refute your statement. But I will be presumptuous enough to answer for him more briefly: People from the middle east do not consider lying a part of their culture. It is evading the truth that is a part of their culture:) And the...

wow...my apologies to all for my last post about 10 pages ago. I made some reference to Israel, and of course that resulted in a barrage of cut and paste "history" from traderfut. TF, my man......find some new sources! As Optional777 says, and as I myself have said, things are not black...

Optional makes a little joke, and is answered with a BIG joke. Fairplay, if your post was meant to be taken seriously, I suggest you find better use of your time. Peace, :)rs7

Interesting point. Do you happen to know what the "stuff" the futures contracts are based on? And what the difference would be between that commodity and whatever product SBUX uses? Also, I agree....no matter what, there probably IS some degree of geographic overlap. Good thoughtful and...

This part of your statement seems to be absolutely true. At least the calls for the destruction of Israel in the Arab world. But then again, what if Israel really did cease to exist? Who would the scapegoat be then? How would these "leaders" of the Arab world retain their power? Who would be to...

I think it is just a the very simple fact that Israel is the only democracy in that part of the world. Pure and simple. The race issue is certainly a non-factor. We fought wars with nations that were "caucasian". The "Jews in the financial" industries is a myth. Real estate? Maybe a...

Depends on who's interpretation of the "borders" you believed. There were always borders. They just were not agreed on. Why quote the whole post? Once isn't enough:) Peace, O777, :)rs7

True. And I said so in an earlier post (about the Indian Wars....I had neglected to speak about the Mexican "border disputes". So I admit to a degree of inaccuracy. However, the shameful Indian Wars were fought within our own borders (whether they were morally right or wrong is another...

no doubt. none.

[/b] Well, it isn't just this question, and it certainly is not just Candle. There are too many examples of this to begin to ponder (as have occurred on ET). My favorite is a question I have posed to Traderfut2000 so many times as to have completely given up on getting an answer. But the...

Sounds simple. Call call your congressman. Maybe you can get the ball rolling. I have faith in your tenacity:) Peace, :)Rs7

Nope, not with these maniacs in charge. On both sides. Sharon and Arafat. Don't know who is worse. Peace, :)rs7

Interestingly, I deleted the post you quoted. Apparently not quickly enough. I deleted it because it was really a response to a question from Max, and, thinking it was off topic, decided to change it to a PM to max. Well now that it has been quoted, there is no undoing it. So in response...
