    schonfeld traders

    Read somewhere in a "shoney thread" that they were no longer self clearing. Have since asked one of the managers at Schonfeld. Not true. They are still self-clearing (or were as of a few weeks ago when I asked). rs7

    40 Reasons for Gun Control

    Obviously the kid with the gun is the designated driver. Is there a law that rednecks MUST drive pick up trucks? Gun racks don't fit in passenger cars?:confused: I guess it would sound funny to hear or say "Hey, you see Billy Bob's new Jaguar?" Peace, and happy hunting, :)rs7

    The Sopranos

    I hoped I had not been offensive. I hoped that I did not come across as "bigoted" or "racist". Italian-Americans are obviously not of a different "race", so maybe racist is used here too generically. Bigoted? I apologize if I came across that way. Racism has not been "approved" in any...

    The Sopranos

    I don't know that there really much of an issue with which to object. At least not in the context mentioned. I have not watched the HBO prison show...Oz? But from the clips I have seen promoting it, it seems that the prison population is portrayed as mostly black. Is this discriminatory? Or is...

    Immortality?!

    Of the nineteen occurrences of the word "satan" in the Authorized Version, where the original word has been left untranslated, twelve are found in the Book of Job. There can be no doubt that the "satan" of Job was an adversary to the true worship of God; there is no proof that he was possessed...

    FasterPussyCat/SuperEgo/KatrinaJohns VERSUS APHEXCOIL Live, Monday 11/18 Here on ET!!

    So here you have it. I must spell the beans....FPC is indeed having that same sex change operation. Although for different reasons than mine entirely. I will not presume to speak for him/her. He/she will explain in detail upon his/her return:) But yeah, I gave him/her the referral to the clinic...

    Immortality?!

    So what you are saying here is that these stories, from the New Testament, which you agree were not even written until about 1500 years ago or so, supercede the teachings from the Old Testament, that, according to you yourself covers pretty much everything from the of beginning of time (time of...

    The Sopranos

    IRS form 8729 "CTR".....(currency transaction report). Every bank has them. Every casino has LOTS of them. But in real life, I don't think any brokerage takes cash no matter what the amount. A little "poetic license" taken by the writers for the Sopranos. One of the big jokes in Las Vegas...

    The Sopranos

    Aside from what was already said in the other responses defending this show, the truth is that The Sopranos most definitely does NOT "romanticize brutal violence, gangsters and murder". The show absolutely deals with these subjects in a very moral way. It clearly expresses the psychotic...

    The Sopranos

    I gotta get the tapes of the first season. Never saw them. Only after hearing so many of the guys at my office giving it raves, and it getting all the Emmy awards, did I get HBO. Never was a big TV fan. But Sunday nights, as someone here just mentioned....that 90 minutes is really worth planning...

    Does anyone watch Alias?

    She looks like my wife a little....except younger, and my wife NEVER had a body like that....not many do! Haven't watched the show lately. Thought it was getting a bit too predictable...a little "cartoonish" if you know what I mean. "The Agency" is worth a look. Some really good stuff and...

    The Sopranos

    Favorite episode so far would be when chris and paulie were lost in the woods. Too funny! Their incompetence and stupidity were exploited beautifully by the writers in that episode. "Czechoslovakian interior decorator". "Pearl Harbor ...that really happened?" So many great lines in that...

    40 Reasons for Gun Control

    No Dan....I am not willing to "excuse" this stuff. Nor do I think they shouldn't be severely punished. My point was only that I doubt that the consequences of these crimes are much of a deterrence. If someone is going to commit a pre-meditated crime, they may and hopefully do take into...

    40 Reasons for Gun Control

    I am not sure what you disagree with me about as far as the first thing is concerned. I think that we DO agree that there is too much crime related to drugs. And desperate people will take desperate measures. But as I said, I don't see how the legalization of drugs and an increase in the freedom...

    Spanking the monkey POLL

    Hey, don't insult us old married guys!!! :) Highly recommended. Did it twice. Was widowed the first time, then single for 4 years in between, then re-married. I figure any woman who can put up with me all the time, and who I still want in my bed after I am done.....we have a winner...

    40 Reasons for Gun Control

    Three truly valid posts. And though they contradict each other somewhat in their intent and certainly in the opinions of their sources, I think grouping them together vividly points out that there are diverse approaches, mentalities, and viable solutions to consider. All these guys make sense...
