good grief, no, you can work if you want to, you're lucky if you can even get Thanksgiving off anymore. All I mentioned was Mandela was an inspirational leader, and the first reply I got was fear that he would get his own holiday. I agree, all National Holidays should be abolished. If I...

what nation on the face of the world cannot say, "We are going to celebrate it, because his values reflect our values."? They can't even say that about Jesus (not sure if I have my English quite right there, but what country can say his values don't reflect our values?)

I didn't say National Holiday. I said worldwide international holiday.

ok, I will just wait for the world powers to tell me what and when a legal holiday is the world powers don't give a crap about any of that and I don't give a crap about any of them How weak are you man? You have to wait for a world power to tell you when to celebrate? I'll celebrate...

right, I agree, that's sick, Mandela was a free market capitalist, so it will require quite an effort to convince the democrats that we should close the government one day a year to honor him.

what is it about Mandela you find so offensive and anti traditional American values?

if it was up to me, you would have to spend 27 years in prison before you could run for President of the United States 10 isn't enough, because then you would come out like a mad dog I don't know, must be something about those last 17 years that calm you down and get you thinking clearly

for instance, there's a lot of people who still hate us for what we did, and they still hate the jews for what they did. For crying out loud, I still hate the Japanese for what they did. It would just be a day to reflect on burying hatchets. And understanding you will gain nothing from...

because he's an inspiration for peace, reconciliation, forgiveness, and democracy (and most importantly, free market capitalism.) and the holiday wouldn't be for him here, or him there, it would be to celebrate our common values, even if you are "them."

if people were rational, economics would be a science

because he had the power to turn it into a blood bath, a justified blood bath, and he refrained. He had the power to confiscate all the minorities riches and refrained. He had a vision of an integrated free market democracy and he succeeded. Takes a hell of man with that much power to use it...

don't you get it? The scientists told us we are running out of crude, so there isn't enough left to burn to change the climate. And even if we do change the climate, we will be out of oil, so again, problem solved.

Nelson Mandela Day should be the first international worldwide holiday, celebrated by all nations, religions, races and creeds.

I don't know what the big deal is Scientists have been telling me since 1970 we are at peak oil So we can burn all we want until we run out poof! Global Warming solved

I trade forex 24/5, and whenever I am awake I have the tv on in the background I was just watching FOX, and they did a brief interview with Jesse Jackson to comment on the death of Nelson Mandela. As he tells it, at one time Mandela had a plan to bomb white hospitals and schools, to drive...

yes, you get an extra $ per month, but you lose the exact same in your food stamp benefits the difference being, the corporation now pays for it instead of me

we went through this exact same argument, I mean word for word when it was raised to $7.25 If it was up to me, I would just eliminate it, but that aint going to happen as far as laying off workers, not a single fast food place has any "extra" workers to lay off. They already operate on the...

yeah, I like that idea. The machinery is already in place. Social Security age 21. Maybe repeal welfare and food stamps.(and min wage)

otherwise, notice how eerily quiet the insurance companies are? Even those that have opted out. This thing couldn't have passed over their objections. I don't know enough about it to have an informed opinion. But something tells me, a few years down the road they are going to be collecting...

well, they asked for your estimated income for 2014. And make you swear under "penalty of law" that you are telling the truth. Since I was having a very bad day in the market, I figured, "If it keeps going like this, my income for 2014 will be zero." So that's what I put on my application. I...
