This guy is completely detached from reality. Last 6 years we saw the biggest expansion of the federal government in history (no child left behind, prescription drug, homeland security). The last time the Democrats were in control, we cut the spending, eliminated the deficit (yes, we...

Not only is this guy delusional, he has absolutely no knowledge of history. WWII was started by Hitler (of Germany, FYI) in 1939 when he invaded Czechoslovakia, two years before Pearl Harbor. Even if you only count the Janpanese, their invasion of China which started the full scale war in...

No, the market doesn't have emotions. You're reading too much into my post. Or shall we say you inadvertently tipped your hand. All I did was to state a couple of facts, which may or may not be related. I did not make any accusations. You made the connections yourself. As you can see...

What values do the Republicans have? Big government? Record budget deficit? Bridge to nowhere? Boy pages? Male prostitues? Drugs bought but didn't inject? "Heck of job" Brown? The Republicans who passed the civil rights legislations have all passed away. The Democrats who opposed are now all...

This is the thread I'm talking about: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=73734 It was started by jeafl, not jem. But you two sounded so much alike I couldn't tell you apart. Also jeafl seemed to have disappeared after that thread. I wonder why.

The Bible certainly has Iraq: Genesis 2:14 The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Asshur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates. has war: Deuteronomy 24:5 If a man has recently married, he must not be sent to war or have any other duty laid on him...

Go read the thread on global warming (which you started). There is no need to rehash everything here.

This forum is for entertainment. At best, the contribution is to the education of the less knowledgeable and even that I doubt because people like you refuse to be educated. You're delusional if you believe that the discussion here contributes to any real knowledge. So what has changed since...

This is absurd. We have someone who knows very little about science touting "what the astrophysicists have to say" in order to promote antiscience. For one, the Anthropic Pricniple is not science. It is as speculative as the image of God with a lightening rod in His hand striking anyone that...

Geez, fixed one mistake but missed another. "Webb is not a soldier under Bush's command. He is a representative elected by the people on the promise that he would try to bring the troops home. If Bush doesn't heed voters' wishes, then he does not deserve the respect." Should be negative all...

It's a pretty big deal if you consider that Bush picked the wrong member of the "axis of evil" to attack. Now both N. Korea and Iran have the WMD that we went to Iraq to look for. And we can do nothing about it because our troops are tied up in Iraq. The real legacy of the Iraq war is the...

Polls show that US people favor withdraw from Iraq 60/37. And we disapprove Bush's Iraq policy by a overwhelming 65/31 margin. http://www.pollingreport.com/iraq.htm Where did you get your poll?

Did I have enough coffee this morning? :D Should be "Webb is not a soldier under Bush's command."

You continue to confuse the concepts. The duty of the soldier is to go whereever he is asked to. But this does not give the politicians right to waste the soldiers' lives in useless wars. Webb is a soldier under Bush's command. He is a representative elected by the people on the promise that...

Losses? What losses? Paper losses are not losses! They only become losses if you sell! This is a long term investment! We're not losing the war in Iraq. We will only lose if we cut and run. Stay the course!

You are confusing two different things. Volunteering to serve means that one has to fulfill certain obligations. That is one thing. This is entirely separate from neocon's attitude, that because they volunteered, so we can waste them in Iraq and show no regret. You conservatives are always...

What's your point? Are you suggesting that everyone should just refuse to serve? There are people who choose to break the law in order to oppose a policy. Most people would rather work within the system.

Because they volunteered so it is justifiable to send them over a far away country to die for nothing?

People just don't use logic any more. Even if this is not insult by New York standard, it doesn't mean that other less civilized people will "faint" upon hearing it. Do you think the person shouting "there is blood on the street" fainted on the first sight of blood? Use some logic. If he...
