Great post.

If you are a priest it's ok to rape children. Worst that happens is you don't get to be a priest anymore but things have to get really bad before that happens.

He is what keeps this forum alive.

Most of the people still buying new movies and CD's are probably old(er) and not capable or knowledgeable on how to get it for free. Give it another 10 years and watch official revenue take another huge hit simply due to demographics. There is nothing they can do. Maybe they can buy...

I believe the CIA was involved with Facebook rather fast in it's development actually.

Tungsten is more rare then gold and has gone up more in 2010. Ofcourse you can't eat it neither.

How many Iraqi and Afghan civilians died since Obama is in office?

With one ounce of gold you could buy a 5 floor hotel building in Germany at the peak of the hyperinflation bubble. Imagine going there again... It would truly change society once more. Although many of the rich probably have bought gold recently as a hedge positioning them for any...

We just had the biggest market rally of a century. If you wanted to become richer without working for it there was your chance. Besides that, just by working, very rarely people have became rich. So why expect it to be different? Just because history provided the US with a 20 year...

Lets look past the gloom and doom for just a second and really put things in perspective. I bet if ancient Kings, emperors or Farao's would visit any random family in Suburbia today they would be in awe of the luxury we bathe in. You don't even have to go that far back to realise the...

America's opinion towards unions is mostly biased and culturally inspired rather than based on sound economic principles. Sweden grew 5% last year. You think they don't have unions there?

I'm not American nor do I live there, but I see your point.

Many big cities are too self absorbed. You go to Milan or Paris and the only bands playing are some local heroes who suck monkeyballs but through the size of the city achieve mega status nevertheless. Or the bars close at midnight and you have to move to expensive private clubs to...

I don't mind paying taxes that much really although I understand people strugling might think otherwise. Every weekend I go swiming with my nephews in my towns swiming facility which has just been renovated. We pay 1$. We go there with the bus. this costs 2$. Other examples are...

We were just following orders..... Godwin's law. :p

Daal, remember in 08 and after all the deflationists screamed reflation attempts would be futile... Just look at Japan. They tried it for 20 years and their stockmarket is still 75% lower then it was back then. You think they have been proven wrong and history will look upon the curent...

This is a good chart... http://paul.kedrosky.com/archives/2011/02/america_in_the.html

Live close to your work! You can't imagine how big of a percentage of people's paycheck goes to just getting at work! Pure madness. You work to get money so you can get to work. Although I understand US city planning has been implemented in times when the price of oil was not a...
