    Another example of our fine "Justice System"

    But comrades, you all fail to see the true purpose of our 'criminal justice ' system. Preventing crime isn't the goal here...not at all. The government doesn't just want actual criminals to cower in fear before it...Big Brother wants ALL OF US crushed under the weight of it's boot. Now...

    Earn a 62% return on your money between now and March betting on Dean

    Anybody see the movie "Head Of State" The Dems should draft Chris Rock. He's a far more attractive candidate than the other clowns they've got running. I'd vote for Chris Rock before I'd ever vote for Dean or Dubya. _______________ The movie actually follows Mays Gilliam (Chris Rock) as...

    Sorry, don't have any figures...but it's alot like the lottery. A miniscule minority of players hit the jackpot. A few more players win a more modest amount, and the vast majority of players are net losers. Maybe someone else here has more detailed information?

    I take it back tlojek, I just looked at your other posts, and in fact you're not playing with fire at all. Why? You've got no seed capital of your own, and probably not even 10% of minimum accredited investor status net worth. Am I right or am I right? I'm not knocking you for not being...

    I live near Chicago. Some of the VC deals that the big name genius trader I referred to had already collapsed on him in the late 90's, when the economy was still booming. Human nature does not change, and I'm sure alot of people with new money will look to invest some of it in VC. Over 95% of...

    Oh, I'm not saying that VC investors are fools, or anything like that. I can see the lure of raw capitalism in helping create or expand a business, where the sky is the limit... Some experienced VC firms do make money. I'm just saying that VC deals, for anyone without a <b>very</b>extensive...

    The Simple Life (paris hilton , nicole richey)

    Haven't you ever dated a chick who's ultra-hot, but has a lousy personality? After a while you just want them out of your life completely, no matter how hot they look....and if I really needed money, is gold-digging off a rich heiress really the best way to go about things? For one's own...

    "What other Biblical principles have you lived that have made your life unhappy?" Let's see...because Modern Orthodox Judaism (Not as bad as Ultra-Orthodox, but still pretty hardcore.) was forced on me from birth until I finally broke free at age 20, I've wasted THOUSANDS of hours praying to...

    Actually, I think both Paris & Nichole would make good 'temporary girls'. You know, the type you hang out with,get drunk & high with, penetrate every hole for two, three months tops before you break up and lose track of them forever.

    "We have improved the quality of material life, but what has science done to improve the quality of man's inner spiritual life?" Religion provides your opiates. Science has provided mine :D (No, I'm not a fan of Marx-obviously. I just like his one quote.)

    You're dreaming, we lose either way. Bush has out-liberaled the liberals and will continue to spend like a drunken sailor, while doing lines off his desk. Then he'll go and imprison the euntrpeneurs who worked so hard to import his blow. Both major parties are now rotten to the core. Now...

    If someone were to ask you if you preferred to get punched in the face or punched in the kidney, which would you choose? Both options suck. I'll take neither and vote Libertarian.

    POLL: What is the World's Most Evil Religion?

    (Islam, key to downward mobility, cont) But the risk is that the right question may lead to wrong answers and thus prevent a serious critique of Islam, both as faith and as existential reality -- a critique without which Islam cannot find a way out of its deepening crisis. Let us consider...
