I think the Egyptians would beg to differ - also that whole roman-empire thing. Hell, the Chinese built a wall to keep the mongols out becuase they feared them so much.

Apparently the corollary that I induced went over your head. You can always deduce education by whether someone jumps to the literal meaning of something or looks at it as a a metaphor or other comparator. I'm sure you've heard the one about throwing stones and glass houses.....

That's not what the implication is. Our military technology is generations superior to theirs. Why do you think they keep on stealing it?

1 of our bombs can kill 250k members of their army. We have 1000s of similar sized bombs. People can do the math.

LOL.... oh that's ripe....

annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd....................fail! msft crushed it. gap up tomorrow.

The fact that you think age will make you wiser is a big, fat, fail.

The republicans. :) Thanks - you guy's have been great. I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip those waitresses!

Agreed. ARMs have been around for decades. Aside from the facts you stated the chart does not account for the people with those mortgages that are not in trouble.

get that crap out of here you tin-foil-hat nutjub.

I agree with you that there is a large disparity, however, there should always be a disparity provided there will always be people that want to work more/harder/better/faster/smarter/stronger than others. Personally, I'm not a gold bug.

Looks at page 4 of this thread - you felt it was important enough to type and share that you "got a buck" with the internet.

Their bonuses recently have been in stock, not ANY cash, at the upper levels. They're likely just selling vested shares.

It had a big sell-off - I've been short all morning.

wtf? GS has been around 140 years, and only in the past 24 months had access to near 0% money. Are you really asking this question?

$1 on a $160 stock isn't exactly something to sing about....

The devil is in the details, which make semantics very important. Using your commutative logic everyone with a bank account in the US benefited, since all businesses also benefited, as did their banks. You admit you yourself benefited from the bailout, as did every American with a bank...

LB is talking about the economy, not GS. That's like saying humans can't live without the Sun. Duh. If the army had to take to the streets businesses all over would be destroyed; that would be a pretty unhealthy system. If the economy was annihilated there would be no need for banks, again...

Link please. Here is video of LB saying the exact opposite: http://money.cnn.com/video/fortune/2009/10/16/f_sl_blankfein_goldman_pay.fortune/ The thing I like about video is that you can't take comments out of context.

you're just plain wrong. now I'm not saying everyone on wall st. is an angel, but every bank was REQUIRED to take TARP money - even the ones that didn't want/need it. The only reason GS had anything to do with "taxpayer money" is becuase the Fed FORCED THEM TO TAKE IT. There is a reason they...
