    Rush returns Monday

    Right after Jerry Garcia died: "'When you strip it all away," Rush had said of the Grateful Dead guitarist, "Jerry Garcia destroyed his life on drugs. And yet he's being honored, like some godlike figure. Our priorities are out of whack, folks." Then of course,this classic is well worth...

    The mounting death toll in Iraq: When does the public say..."enough is enough"?

    I'm not 100% behind the whole Iraq war, but I can understand what the Bush administration is trying to accomplish (Beyond the family vendetta against Saddam, and grabbing oil.) The idea is to reform the entire Arab world by establishing pillars of freedom and Democracy in Iraq and...

    Patriot Act: is it to control terrorist's or citizen's trading account ?

    "Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and...

    Poker and the Beginning Trader

    UB has it's advantages. Decent software, 80-160 Omaha games, somewhat decent tournies, frequented by many poker celebs (On UB, I've played Layne Flack, Phil Helmuth, Ngyuyen- forgot which one, Annie Duke, Phil Ivey, probably more.) Disadvantages: Unreliable Servers, not nearly as many games...

    It's True: Gekko=Longshot

    No way, unless he litterally has multiple personality disorder. While GG is friendly towards me, longshot is hostile & vicious- and mistakenly presumed me religious: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote from Rearden Metal: I do...

    Soros's Deep Pockets vs. Bush

    The irony here is that Soros may have accomplished the exact opposite. It's undeniable that a centrist Democrat has a much better chance against Bush than a far-left candidate like Dean...Yet it was Soros funded MoveOn.org that that thrust Dean into the limelight, raised his cash, and...

    Rush returns Monday

    If Tommy Chong is wrongly imprisoned, I hope Rush gets thrown in with him for a few months. Maybe that would set him straight.

    Rush returns Monday

    I just want him to admit on the air that drug abusers should <b>always</b> be treated like medical patients instead of like criminals.

    Liberals have a new ally!

    Yeah, and they're even using it on non-terrorist, non-criminal , entrepreneurs who provide a valuable service to society, aka drug dealers.

    Intelligence and emotional maturity are two entirely separate traits. While immature at times, GG does contribute interesting philosophical ideas.

    I know I'm unable to debate at axeman's level of skill, but I can field this one: Let's say I offer you the following game: You roll a six sided die. if numbers 1,2,3, or 4 come up you win a dollar. If the die shows 5 or 6 you lose a dollar. While you are not 100% guaranteed to win in the...

    god told me to post this here

    It just boils down to the fact that the word 'faith' is extremely ambiguous. One can be GAY without being a homosexual. One can RUN even if they don't have legs. *1 One can DRIVE without ever going near a car. *2 I can have FAITH without believing in God. _________ *1) running...

    god told me to post this here

    ***You atheistic traders make me wonder a bit; do you guys actually make money? Because it would seem to me that without faith in either the markets, in one's strategies, in one's market intuition, one can not be successful at trading. When you enter into a trade because you think the market is...

    GG, I'm not sure if you've ever mentioned this, but was religion shoved down your throat in heavy doses by your parents? Were you forced to spend hours on end praying to the unseen imaginary friend in the sky? Were you told that masturbation is just as evil as murdering someone, and felt...

    Tri, you are just sooo wrong here. There are different religions. Even if you practice perfect Protestant Christianity (for example), if God does exist and the 'real' religion turns out to be Judaism, Islam , or Voodoo- you're still screwed.
