We never had R.O.E. anything like this in the IDF!

It's not like the dude decided to drive his kid to some distant 'combat zone' battlefield somewhere. He was probably just running routine errands in his own neighborhood. The U.S. government has this disturbing pattern of attacking first and checking if the target was actually an enemy to begin...

Nice. :cool: That depends on the manner in which NFLX eventually tops out. If the NFLX run ends in a similar manner to what happened to silver a few weeks ago, I'll be there to capitalize. If it tops out in a more subtle manner, I might just miss it entirely. You can bet I'm watching and...

I do agree with much of what you've said on this thread, and I acknowledge that you were 100% correct to short the market the instant Nitro threw in the towel on NFV... however your comparing him to the unibomber is just WAY off base! Kaczynski's mental disease was that he suffered from an...

You're wrong! It was on African <b>penis</b> washing that the gov't found fit to spend $800,000 of the hard-earned money taken from the people by force. <i><b>Ball</i></b> washing on the other hand would have been a clear waste of money (of course), so please get your facts straight! :cool...

No they'd be a villain! (Kind of like the way the government barged into my life and took a massive dump all over everything I was trying to do two years ago.) ... but then, if <i>someone else</i> were to break into that villain's office and fuck with all of <i>their</i> shit, I might be...

The Broken Window Fallacy

Hippie, you've got to read (the first 96 pages of) this book: <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=3022591> You'll understand yourself so much better once you do, I promise!

I see your point. To clarify though, I said that all human actions and behaviors can be traced to just two possible core motives: Instinct and self-interest. But that doesn't mean that genuine heroism can't exist. Oskar Schindler was a true hero... but if you think about it enough, you can...

I couldn't win an election for county dog-catcher, because I'm really not very good at lying. To win elections you need to lie your ass off, and do it convincingly.

As a Libertarian, I actually voted 'Probably more hero than villain'. In his career as a hacker I have no doubt that Assange has done wrong by stealing private property, and I can easily condemn him for those actions. But that's not what Assange is famous for at all. Wikileaks isn't about...

Villain–noun: A cruelly malicious person who is involved in or devoted to wickedness or crime; scoundrel. Hero–noun: A man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities.

We can focus just fine when we find something to be <b>interesting</b> enough. Perhaps the problem isn't your ADD/ADHD, but that you're not sufficiently obsessed/drawn in by the markets. Although you might want to give Adderall a shot. That definitely works too, if you can get your hands on...

I feel so much safer now that Willie's been apprehended! Remember when jail was a place where only <b>criminals</b> were taken? 500,000 political prisoners and counting... YOU could be next.

Very interesting, thanks for posting that! Whether the leaking of classified U.S. gov't documents pleases or displeases you (or if you have mixed feelings about the whole affair as I do), this article summarizes what some of those secrets actually are, providing a slightly heightened...

Yet another 5-star post from Cutten! I think the answer lies in the type of characters that get elected to political office in the first place: Bullshitter used-car salesman types with a constant 'Yes we can!' charade of over-optimism ingrained into their personalities. Cynics like Ron Paul...

Radical Muslims want to murder us, and our other enemy the federal government wants to control/own us. And here we sit, trapped in the middle. :(

<i>And if hapaboy were to return, why should we expect any different response by him next time he disagrees with someone and, in your words again, feels provoked?</i> Hi Magna... I see your point about Hap breaking the rules repeatedly and all, so I get where you're coming from. However, I...

Last year saw the banning of several well-liked ET members who responded aggressively to the provocations of King Troll Optional777. Banning numerous good ET members to protect one very bad one never made sense to me in the first place, but hey- this isn't a Democracy, and I understand...

Jim Beam tastes like paint thinner... yeccch! Sheep Dip, Chivas, Crown Royal, or Johnny Red for me if I'm drinking whiskey. (Fancy single malts are overrated- the preferred beverage of show-offs & snobs like Charles Widmore).
