Doubter, I'd extend those comments to the entire Bible. (Although, I wouldn't put it in terms of the Spirit "doing it for you", as the inclination to understand must come from personal volition.) It's a concept that I extend to all religious writings, in the sense that reading them isn't akin...

I would think there would be a lot less barracking as such, if those of a religious bent would be as clear as you have been in your post above , that they are not asserting God exists but that God may exist. Well, that isn't quite my position, I do assert God exists -- in the sense that I...

Lol. The difference, moron, is that In2Win's God comment was in context. Yours wasn't. Geddit? It's bad enough that you keep infesting the board with your childish outbursts even when you have half a point; it's even worse when you're being clueless.

rlb, I take back all the negative things I said about your moderating and hereby nominate you for moderatorship of every forum on ET.

Oh, it's pretty simple. The rich boy's club is simply going to have to pony up. Not the "rich" by what I am being told is the Democrats' "definition" (or inferred definition), but by the "truly" rich (we can work out a figure). Sure they wouldn't like having to pay it, but, well, they might...

What? Don't tell me you don't even understand that evolution and intelligent design aren't mutually exclusive theories?

Axeman, I don't deny that I have an emotional attachement to the issue. Now, since you haven't denied my charge that you do too, we'll assume that you recognize and admit this, shall we? If so, know that your sincerity is appreciated.

Stu, I apologize for lumping you together with axeman and Gekko, but I need a third muskateer, and you were it. I could explain why I don't believe religion is the open and shut case most atheists make it out to be and why I certainly do not consider atheism the intellectual slam dunk that...

Gekko, you need to check into the nearest Idiots Anonymous asap. Get up there and finally be honest with yourself and declare, "my name is Gordon Gekko and I am an idiot." Do you even understand that science is ILL EQUIPPED (to say the least) to be the basis for deciding ALL beliefs? Do...

I'd go after Iran first. Syria are small fries compared to Iran. It's a pity they used their "WMD" card up on Iraq, because Iran actually does appear to pose a legit, potential WMD "threat" (as in any country possessing the means to defend itself poses a threat). They probably could have...

Spot on observation. Ever notice how as soon as God is brought up on ET, it's sure money that the same 3 muskateers, Stu, axeman and, the most obnoxious (and intolerable) little git of them all, Gordon Gekko, simply CANNOT RESIST wading in with their wafer thin, "rational" pseudo-debunking...

I would strongly suggest you get a clue.

traderkay, I am amazed (to say the least) that after nearly 2 and 1/2 years on this forum that you are still attempting to trade the ES in this manner. Well, that's your choice. As for your dilemma, there's no escaping the math of it, giving up half your expected gain on the spread is one...

Okay, I can see where I might have caused a bit of confusion. I meant it would be a big blunder for Californian (USA) Mexicans to favor secession from the USA. Does that help?

Well, I gather from that you're saying they believe they're better off in the USA, which I agree with. And that is why I said that for Mexicans to favor secession, or union with Mexico, would be a big blunder.

So, by implication, the vast majority of American's lives suck? Remind me, who is it that's out of touch with reality? :)

Well, where would you rather live Cubano, the USA or Mexico?

It would be interesting to see what happens if Mexicans do -- contrary to every single measure of good sense -- decide to move towards secession when they inevitably become the majority in California. Afterall, they do have something of a historical case for it. (Still, it would be a huge...

Is that something you've noticed before heilbronner, about book value being a support area? Just that a lot of the institutional "experts" (sell side analysts etc) don't really put a lot of stock into book value.

Shut up TM, you're ruining it for everyone! Actually, I had my doubts when I found the list that someone could have SO many bloopers, but I know ("know") that the potato one is true at least. (And yeah, I've read some of those attributed to other people too.)
