Ya know... its a blatant LIE to say that all this stuff is immediately "thrown out" by me as Shoe claims. The truth is, its thrown out AFTER Shoe FAILS to provide sufficient evidence for extraordinary claims. As it should be. As for your other stories... nothing but hearsay. They...

Nice poisoning the well fallacy Shoe :D The fact is.... im a very easy person to convince. You simply have to provide reputable evidence. Sorry.... but unlike many people, I dont blindly accept supernatural claims without sufficient evidence. Obviously, this frustrates you, but its...

"Sounding statistically rare" does not make it so. NUMBERS make it so. Further.... are you claiming that when someone has a vivid dream and writes a letter about it, this somehow makes it statistically more relevant? How so?? What if I had a not-so vivid dream of 9/11 on 9/8...

Guy is getting on a plane. Has a vision of the plane going down. Gets off the plane. Plane goes down in flames. Amazing? Yes or no. Ever consider that only people who have this feeling that DIDNT get on the plane, and therefore SURIVIVED to tell about it are the only ones you hear...

Statistics are not on your side because you have NO IDEA what the statistics ARE. This was my point in my last post. You said:So, in order for you to be right, you'd have to prove to me that dreams vivid as to make one write a letter do actually happen often. Here you are attempting...

Ok.... now im gonna ask you the same question I asked SHOE. People all over the world dream about friends/relatives dying. Or something similar... a dead relative comes to them in a dream. Simply probability tells us that X% of the time, THEY WILL BE RIGHT. The HAVE to be. So now...

Many supersitious beliefs arise from a basic misunderstanding of simple statistics. Its called "confirmation bias". You typically see shoe and people like marketrabbit doing this all the time. http://skepdic.com/confirmbias.html peace axeman

Whooopie.... are you claiming that with billions of people on earth, this "case" should never happen? This is where people like you shoe, get it all confused. (Similar to many other stories.... EX: you get a feeling someone is involved in an accident/died. You call..its true! WOW...

Excuse me... but what are you talking about? Where is the "coincidence" part of this story?? Are you saying that your grandma dreamed that her brother came to her and told her the he is dead, and then LATER she found out that he really was? Explain. peace axeman

Excuse me.... but I never mentioned religion ANYWHERE in my reply. Learn to read. Hmmm.... now why would you WANT to convey that im trying to turn this into a religious debate, when this is clearly not the case? Oh oh ... im officially one of the "they" guys. LOL :p Were all out...

OUCH! :eek: peace axeman

Never had a supernatural experience. Duh. It has always struck me as funny how the hard core logical/scientific types never seem to have spooky/weird experiences. What is more amazing is, that when these types visit someone who claims they can produce weird/spooky phenomenon, they...

Ummm.... better read my NEXT post :D BIG traders DO accidently hit the wrong button, or make a simple order entry error, and THEY BREAK THE TRADES! :mad: peace axeman

Yes... and when the GOLDY clerk accidently adds TWO ZERO's to his ES order, and accidently sells 100X more ES contracts at the swap meet, you are on pretty shaky ground to demand the buyers to give you back all those contracts :D BUT IT HAPPENS!!!! Whats the difference? :mad: peace...

With Saddam, the war started by defending Kuwait. Then we layed down a cease fire agreement (and unfortunately involved the UN), which was blatantly ignored for over a decade (thanks for being a pussy clinton!), so we had every right to go back in and enforce it after giving Saddam more than...

Simply because when WE make a...cough cough... CLERICAL error, we're STUCK WITH IT and are not allowed to break the trade. So why should THEY be? Oh thats right... because they are rich and privileged bastards :D And you are a nobody with no power. peace axeman

As a peon..... you dont get that luxury. When they make a mistake.....trade broken. We you make a mistake....tough shit. Thats the way it is until your worth mega bucks. Typical rigged bullshit. I would at least try to negotiate a "get out of jail free card" from them that states...

Most CHICKS are out of the question? I never would have guessed you were either bisexual or asexual...not sure what else you could be cause eliminating chicks from the equation leaves you with fairly limited choices..... Im strictly hetero. This comment was within the context of LONG TERM...

DING DING DING...a chick finally figured it out. But to be fair... this is inversely true with AGE. The younger the guy... the more likely he just needs some sexual relief :D And things like AGE, just dont matter. The older.... the more "other" things he wants. As for the...

I like the court room analogy best. Could you convince a court you have an edge? Since im purely a systems trader.... its trivial. I have a pile of objective #'s I can show. But I still go through the emotional swings of watching it trade. Up, down, up down...aaaahhhh.... It was so...
