    Regarding the Existence or Absence of God

    Gordon. I am not a religious person. I do not refer to the bible to determine how to live my life. But I understand (as you should) that the bible has been studied for a long time. It is openly debated. And certainly open to interpretation. What is so hard about this to understand? There are too...

    Last Septermber 11th, What Could You Have Done?

    This could only happen with you on board. Never heard a political comment by a flight attendent in my life. But I probably haven't flown enough. Of course when the WTC was concieved and construction started, John Lindsay was mayor of New York. Gee, he was a Republican. The first since...

    Regarding the Existence or Absence of God

    You know the expression "getting blood from a stone"? Well you would have a better chance at that than at getting the answers you want from Thunderbolt! I am still laughing about the calendar being proof:) Peace, RS7

    Retail trading niche?

    I use SLK for both equities and options. The platform doesn't really help (it is good though), 'cause you can't enter spread orders. You have to call them in anyway. So to me, it would seem more important to have a good order room than the platform for options. Quotes are quotes. Unless I am...

    You are refering to that big fat lady of color in the sky i presume? Looks a lot like Ella Fitzgerald? Saw her once in a vision myself. :)

    Nitro...you beat me to it. Exactly right! (you could have added "envy" too. A lot of that going around). :)Rs7

    Regarding the Existence or Absence of God

    I did not know that the concept of "original sin" was part of the Bible. I thought it was part of Catholicism. (don't really know....I don't subscribe to any of it). Believing things based on faith may or may not be dangerous. Depends on what it is. If one were to believe in the Ten...

    Regarding the Existence or Absence of God

    I thought I did "shoot down" the ridiculously weak "calendar" argument given by Thunderbolt. I don't see any reason to argue with the masses if I have no reason to. I thought I made a few points about how I felt about the Bible as not being an accurate documentation of history. I see no...

    Last Septermber 11th, What Could You Have Done?

    Same here, yet I am sure for another generation Pearl Harbor was the defining moment. The consequences were far greater (so far).

    Last Septermber 11th, What Could You Have Done?

    Bung... I arrived at my office last Sept. 11 just as the second plane hit. I had an Instinet (inca) terminal right on my desk. Prices were showing. But trades were not executed. The prices did not change (my terminal was level 2 Instinet), so I believe the system was shut down. If trades were...

    Regarding the Existence or Absence of God

    Sorry I omitted Daniel M from the list. But you know what? Two of the guys I most admire as far as their abilities to make cohesive arguments are Daniel M and Darkhorse. Which goes to show that a good (but not necessarily convincing)argument can be made on both sides of this issue...

    Can't believe Tampa stuck you like that. He told me he had it handled as I was hopping on my rent-a-camel (which smelled quite a bit like the women in that place). :(rs7

    Regarding the Existence or Absence of God

    My friend the Horse of a Darker Color:); With what do you disagree? If you say (as I read it) that "proof" remains a subjective issue, then I see no disagreement at all. I know with absolute certainty that I have no way of believing or disbelieving the topics of "Revelations" (for example)...

    Regarding the Existence or Absence of God

    GG, the argument is futile. This cannot be PROVEN one way or another. Tripack is right. There is no proof. Why do you care so much? Those who believe have what they call "faith" and that's enough for them. They don't need proof. You are asking for the impossible. And conversely, you can't...

    Mr Subliminal's Remote Trading Journal

    Tampa, that is how I always pictured you!:) And she is indeed a bit wacky. You and I are agreeing on a lot of stuff lately. Watch out, things like this could ruin a man. Bad for the old reputation. Very little upside in agreeing with me. Look what happened to the Kennedy's, Martin...

    after 4:30 so I can get home would be ok. I need to be done by 6 or so. If that's when it is, count me in.
