And my question to you is how can you say that.. Prove it with historical facts not affirmations…. I know about the crimes made by Christianity but Islam has never ever in all its history been as bloody and cruel as Christianity. Using reason does not mean that the end result must be...

True, dude! ET "Chit Chat" has become a hotbed of cutting edge political thought! SEC, wake up! The world needs MORE traders! :)

rs7, I am surprised to hear that! When I was in sales, we had a little saying, "a man convinced against his will, is of the same opinion still." My goal really isn't to 'convince' anyone of anything. Although my view is based purely on reason, my hope is that people will be persuaded to...

Have you really read the Koran????? Not all of it, no. The prophet Mohammed said to the muslims : "always behave the best possible way with people of the book who are the jews and the christians..." Jews and Christians were under the protection of muslims when muslims ruled the world...

Get your calculator, plug in some numbers and then THINK!

Oh come on, that's a bit harsh! :) Seriously, i think there's actually some really good stuff on TV. I enjoy the History Channel, Meet The Press (or any other dual-view political discussion), News Hour with Jim Lehrer's really good. An hour every couple of day's ain't that bad is it? You...

Good response. I agree with you. Although I'm most definitely pro freedom of speach, i'm not hoplessly lost in libertarian idealism (I believe ADL and ACLU both serve valuable and necessary functions). What would be the solution? An anti-trust case? It's a thorny issue, but one that...

Hahaha! That's funny! (Sorry, I know it's not PC to laugh at that..) Is it really racist though? What if the decision was based on a demographic study that said, "yep. seems like there's more blacks and hispanics home during the day than whites. Let's cater to their tastes"? In a similar...

I'll explain why. But firstly, let me get some things straight. First, something is only considered "terrorism" when it happens to us (USA, the western world). Otherwise, the USA is guilty of sponsoring terrorism for the past 50 years. (Nicaragua, Iran, Cuba to name but a few)...

Not sure what you're trying to say here. Last time I checked, MTV wasn't a government sponspored initiative. Is the implication is that the content of the "handful of media companies" is directed by the government? We live in an age where more information is available to more people than in...

Political correctness is still alive and kicking, and this amounts to the same thing as "dumbing-down" the population. What's the purpose behind it? To "protect" people from the views espoused by particular persuavive, non-status quo speakers. The assumption is that people are stupid and can't...

Serious? You sat through being .55 down and held on?

Vegas is cool fun to live in. And, like many others have mentioned, state taxes don't really enter into the equation until you're actually making income from trading, housing costs are very low. The great thing about the west coast is that if you're chomping at the bit to make some trades...

I think that the Israeli treatment of palestians in the west bank and gaza is absolutely "morally abhorrent". Maybe it is just a side effect of fear. That's more like it. Certainly it is a side effect of fear. It's not like the Arab world has been content to just let Israel be. Israel has...

OK..so are you saying that you find this a place where you don't HAVE to conform to "social norms"? You are a closet sociopath? " (I am not saying you are....I just think you left yourself open for that because it was just too easy)...... Haha! Yep, slam dunked me on that one! Good show old...

freakin useless LA bums... (joking only :)) that's what happens when a countries don't provide the rule of law..

So what you are saying, a bureaucrat is gonna solve all your problems? Are you 6 years old or what? Did I say that? Do I require anyone to solve my problems? NO. I was talking about the ideological underpinning of government. You do realise that some form of government is always going to...

I think I said before that you must be a fun guy to hang out with. Yep, I'm a blast! :) You argued with Darkhorse endlessly about his beliefs. I totally disagreed with Darkhorse as far as his political beliefs and religious beliefs. But he managed to maintain respect and reason in his...

Nobody is really interested in what your "inclination" is. Either put up some evidence to support your claim or shut the F up. Anyone with half a brain can see that paying 5.95 + .5c/share + ECN is a freakin rip off.
