    Ultra-Lib David Boren (sarcasm) Writes "America in Grave Danger of Dramatic Decline"

    I'm not a total isolationist, but I definitely think I'm closer to it now because of this administration's major foreign policy travesties, than ever before. I mean, if you can't trust the POTUS, in urging the American People to send their kids into harms way and spill blood, or in urging the...

    Ultra-Lib David Boren (sarcasm) Writes "America in Grave Danger of Dramatic Decline"

    I didn't read those links, but I'll take your word for it. So it was really a quarter. It's still a shame. They say (they being some Nobel Laureate economists) that Iraq will ultimately cost us 3 trillion. I consider that some money very poorly spent. They could have spent 1/5th of that...

    WTC Bldg 7: Gov. Report; 'Fire' Collapsed It (1st Steel Skyscraper Fire Collapsed)

    I never said they did. I've only suggested that some of the pieces don't fit. That just begs a legitimate process of asking more questions, to try and make them fit. By the way, I feel the same way about JFK's assassination. I don't know if Lee Harvey Oswald did or didn't act alone, but I...

    Ultra-Lib David Boren (sarcasm) Writes "America in Grave Danger of Dramatic Decline"

    Really Pabst? That's terrible. You'd think a large American City being hit by a catastrophe, causing thousands and thousands to die, tens of thousands to lose their homes, and hundreds of thousands to lose their livelihoods, would have gotten more attention from our government. ([hushed...

    Landlord-tenant dispute, Criminal prevents destruction

    1) it wasn't a terror plot It was a landlord-tenant dispute. This is a totally irresponsible thread title. The last thing people should do is cry wolf over terrorism issues. Move this to chit-chat.

    WTC Bldg 7: Gov. Report; 'Fire' Collapsed It (1st Steel Skyscraper Fire Collapsed)

    Hapa, if I started a thread that said 'Report Concludes Fire Destroyed WTC Bldg 7,' and then went on to simply post the official report, there'd be nothing noteworthy would you agree? The reason I posted this is because of the fact that, whether you like it or not, and you don't have to...

    Oil is the red herring of this market

    Sorry, but I absolutely can't agree with you. High inflation absolutely destroys the value of equities. Deflation does, too, but for different reasons. Inflation is far more hazardous. High inflation is a shock EVEN when productivity and real wages are rising (productivity has slowed very...

    Ultra-Lib David Boren (sarcasm) Writes "America in Grave Danger of Dramatic Decline"

    “The country we love is in trouble,” he said. “In truth, we are in grave danger of declining as a nation. If we do not act quickly, that decline will become dramatic.” - David Boren, former U.S. Senator, and now president of the University of Oklahoma...

    WTC Bldg 7: Gov. Report; 'Fire' Collapsed It (1st Steel Skyscraper Fire Collapsed)

    Well, since this is an ongoing series with the BBC, the government, after 7 years, is just now about to release their official report as to what caused the collapse of Building 7, and also, as there are at least some fire and structural engineering experts who are skeptical that a fire took down...

    Yes, avoid high maintenance women at all costs. Once they trap you with the power of the ....well, you know, you're a prisoner. Find a woman who is real and down to earth, and who doesn't view you as a tool to acquire the material things she needs to collect in that desperate attempt to...

    NO Fear in Stocks = NO Bottom in Sight?

    I have absolutely no basis to say this other than most bear markets see about a 30% correction by the time all is said and done (barring any extreme shock events), but given the true state of the American Economy, the trend in rising unemployment, the fact that inflation is killing purchasing...

    Shadow Statistics Predicts Hyperinflationary Depression As Early as 2010

    I've seen some alarming things from ShadowStats, but nothing like this. It's from April 8th, and I must have missed it for whatever reason. But check out what they specifically state about the banking solvency crisis and how the Federal Reserve will react (I had just linked an article from...

    WTC Bldg 7: Gov. Report; 'Fire' Collapsed It (1st Steel Skyscraper Fire Collapsed)

    This is the first time in history a steel framed skyscraper is alleged to have collapsed due to fire. I don't know whether it's a credible assertion or not, but it's a first. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7485331.stm 9/11 third tower mystery 'solved' By Mike Rudin The final...

    Oil is the red herring of this market
