    Transgendered Student

    Shoe, I can't comment on this kid 'cause I don't know him. I will thus engage you generically on the topic. First, we would have to establish a certain baseline: A: Do you believe that gay/straight is totally by choice/environment ... in other words, we're all straight until/unless...

    Please ban ZZZzzzzzzz. He debases every thread in which he participates.

    Sorry Rearden, but LongShot was never clever enough to be Z11. It was established by IP that Z11 was Axeman who was then banned when he wouldn't let up the pressure in Z10. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=38931 JB

    You want to buy real estate when prices are down?

    Pre-born infants

    Cache, I am so with you on the viability issue. For me it gets fuzzy somewhere in the second trimester, so personally I say first trimester or nothing. Just me of course. JB

    People blamed for water woes in West

    First, I consider illegal immigrants criminals, by definition, period. In my area of California (Mojave desert), they're not "leeching", they're digging ditches, building houses, mowing grass, trimming trees, cleaning houses, baling hay, etc. The hispanic culture I see out here is one of the...

    People blamed for water woes in West

    LT: >jeez, Pravda was probably more subtle in it's censorship I'll bet that the article was printed just as it was freely written -- no censorship involved. Without the development of the SW, there would be need for the supporting illegal/legal immigrants. Remove the gringo and the...

    People blamed for water woes in West

    Unless you show me where in the article they are arguing the above, I'll have to answer you with a resounding "NO" and call you on a blatent strawman (or a really dumb question). They're point appears to be that man has caused (or greatly contributed to) the warming which has left the South...

    Intelligent Design is not creationism

    The post for which the "opinion alert" was issued, http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1734251#post1734251 contains no math at all, let alone "math beyond my understanding". What it does contain, is a clear statement of opinion by "some major scientists". The...

    Intelligent Design is not creationism

    Not so. The "alert" was related to the fact that what you gave was only the *opinions* of said scientists and professors. Presenting evidence is one thing -- when you only present their opinions, well -- everyone has one. Trust me -- *your* opinion isn't worth the effort of an alert. JB
