That's true! Just ask Pete Best!

I think an online user-ranking system would be awesome. We could then choose to ignore users with one star or less -- chances are, if they get to a point where they are worth one star, everyone is ignoring them anyway. Use a sort of psuedo-user democracy to make every user's job a little easier.

This problem isn't just an ET problem -- it is a global internet problem. Unfortunately, the indentity of a user gets masked while on the internet and there are simply too many ways to subvert and get around being ignored (or get around being blocked by spam filters). I get 50 e-mails a day...

You have to mention Guinness in your drinking threads. No drinking thread is complete without the fresh, frothy, coffee-like thickness of pure Irish Guinness beer. Mention Guinness to moderater-proof your future drinking threads. Guinness -- the beer of the Irish.

How many soldiers does NK have? Is it 2,000,000? Don't they spend all the money they have on advanced weapons? Damn, I hope we can avoid THAT situation.

Drugs are so great. We are truly a medicated society!

Here's a look at how right-winged Fox would have covered previous news stories:

Has Bush sent any military guys over to your house to rape your wife while shooting your kids? No? Think about it -- had you been an Iraqi and posted this message about Saddam, you'd be a bit more hesitant to speak so quickly about your leader.

WASHINGTON DC - For years, in closed Pentagon meetings, there has been the horrifying discussion of what to do about Iraq's Nida Abu or "Robot Army" if one in fact, does exist. The idea of this army was masterminded by Saddam during his initial rise to prominence in the late 70's and implemented...

Yes, because someone who flip-flops between extremes all the time based on words found on a bulletin board are so much more psychologically grounded than someone who follows one belief all the time.

Minus the legs, tits and hat -- yes.

Surely you can deface my picture better than that.

Jay, Good intelligent post. However, if you wanted to really throw a wild scenario out there, perhaps the oil could be a part of the equation. You observed in your post what effect obtaining Iraq's oil would have on the entire oil market, but what about micro-markets? Controlling Iraq's...

If we didn't find WMD's then the United States would have to plant them somewhere within Iraq and then frame Saddam's regime.

Have you ever served in the armed forces? This is absolutely false. All soldiers are trained for battle and every soldier that is out in the Iraqi desert right now understands that they could be attacked at any moment. The only difference is that her MOS is something other than infantry, but...

The more money you have, the less your trading expenses are percentage-wise relative to your trading capital. For anything less than 50-100k, it is gambling to me.

She was doing her job and defending herself and her unit. That is what they are trained to do during basic training. Unfortunately, there are a lot of other soldiers who have fought just as valiantly but aren't here today to speak about it. She definitely deserves to be commended for...

Honestly, I view trading as gambling. I came into it thinking that it would be easy and I learned some great lessons in the process. I'm not the smartest, fastest, sharpest or most experienced of the pact, so I'm just another money-tree for some market-maker or exchange to shake. Most of...

Unquestionably, the United States of America will not exist in its current form forever. Over the next 100 to 200 years, there will be a decay of civil order throughout the United States as the end of the petroleum age draws closer and world economies take two steps back to take one step...
