Sad Story Sometimes a toddler in the USA is less safe than a soldier in Iraq. CALUMET CITY, Ill. - A man beat his girlfriend’s 4-year-old son to death after she left the boy in his care while she was deployed to Iraq, police said. A judge denied bond on Saturday for Donell Parker...

Recent Poll of U.S. Muslims The headline that 1 in 4 young U.S. Muslims justify suicide attacks in certain situations has gotten a lot of press these past few days. There is some equally eye-opening data from this recent poll which I have not seen discussed. "Only 5 percent of U.S...

Another reason, besides demographics, why these comparisons are apples and oranges is because these boutique countries do not need to spend 50% of their budget on defense, not even close! What a luxury that is.

I will add that the Dems had felt the pain of their flock one more time with a surge of their own in the pre-election period last year. This surge being of anti-war, anti-president, "we're losing", "vote for us and we will bring our boys home" rhetoric which the sheep heartily bit into hook...

I might add that the economics that I could not see was not the vending of level 1 signals but rather the higher level signals. Keep in mind that we are discussing a very highly scaleable product.

What is their motive for this? Sorry, but the idea makes no sense. The media would love nothing more than a maverick underdog like Paul to become a hit with voters. They would have a blast with this story- it would have lots of legs, lots of interest, lots of ratings and generate tons of...

In fact I am seeing some fine examples on this very thread of those for whom that 10 day net would work quite well, and in fact, may be their best hope for any trading related results on the profitable side at all.

This type of voting can never be an accurate representation. People were not polled, votes were merely counted on the internet or text message system. There is a major difference. This is not the correct answer of why the parties and candidates do not give the majority what they think they...

http://www.awyethgallery.com/ Selling signals on level 1 as you describe (barely profitable or breakeven) does not seem logical not because I do not see the vending of signals on levels 2-5, but because the signals seem purported as greater than level 1, the vending of which I don't see...

You must be looking at some internet poll or text message poll which is useless. I have not seen a real poll yet with Paul higher than 1%. Governor Bill Richardson is campaigning on a fast Iraq pullout. His poll numbers are in the low to mid single digits. Politicians seek popularity and...

Why do you sell signals that make money?

Nice points, but let's say we pull out of Iraq tomorrow, send the money saved to new orleans and pay down the debt, and close the border. Will a lot of Americans become satisfied with the direction again? Is that all it will take? If so, whichever party does this is going to become extremely...

I didn't mean to misrepresent this dataset as being current to today as you noted that it is not, I should point out that it is based on 01/06 exchange rates as stated so on the wiki page. Also, the polls which are the subject of the thread are from last year. I believe that they are more...

Only the Swiss have a higher Median household income. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_of_living_in_the_United_States

Yes, that was the original subject of the thread, the polled opinion of Americans vs. reality put into context. What is your reality?

No one has suggested that there is zero element of chance, head starts, or that work and motivation offers a 100% fool-proof guarantee of great fortune. Is that what you are waiting for? Good luck! I will say with reasonable certainty though, that if you do not empower your own self to "make...

So are you telling us that you think that the economy was hot in the 90's because Clinton was in the oval office?

On the contrary, I'm sorry that you don't get it. I can only take from this that you do blame the govt/society for a living standard/level of achievment with which you are unhappy, too bad for you. You may even be a decent guy, just very misguided. All I can say is, again, that thinking...

Why don't you also tell us that the sky is blue. You say there are recessions from time to time? Noted. Depressions too? Got it. Inflation rates fluctuate and are not always accurately represented? Check. So I guess the economy is cyclical, would that summarize what you are trying to get across...
