A film by a disturbed genius, made for disturbed geniuses; The Fountain must be one hell of an incredible experience for that special 0.01 percentile of the human population it was made to entertain. Unfortunately, the rest of us need someone there to help us fill in the blanks- Sorry, Mr...

Back in the bubble era, I'd say about 5% of Schonfeld traders were taking home 7-figures or more. About 15% took in 6-figures or higher. Roughly the same story at Worldco, right Mav? In today's lean times, those numbers are much, MUCH lower.

A reputable prop firm never pretends to 'hire' their clients for so-called 'jobs'. Only the sleaziest of firms ever do that, and you should be <b>glad</b> they do! It provides everyone who's paying attention with a useful 'tell' to help you immediately separate the reputable firms from the...

He can <b>easily</b> tell the difference between a mass-murderer and a controversial-yet-non-homicidal figure like Falwell. However, his strict observance of the troll's code forces him to <b>pretend</b> otherwise.

I've been quiet about <b>all</b> topics lately on ET. (Not posting much here). I can stomach Obama when compared to the other popular/mainstream alternatives, but I certainly support Ron Paul wholeheartedly above all the rest, and I've already said so on these boards. If somehow Ron Paul is...

The 'reality of black man vs. white man' may matter to folks of your generation, but people of my generation (Gen X) don't usually concern themselves about such things.

The most fertile land on earth, if not properly cultivated, will yield nothing but the most useless of weeds.

Making a career out of the sport isn't the only reason to play it! It's an enjoyable & competitive way to work up a good honest sweat. It also beats the hell out of running nowhere on a treadmill.

You sir, are a fraud. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1290303&highlight=bullshitter+key+word#post1290303 http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1318844&highlight=bullshitter+key+word#post1318844

If this 'Sharia court' is nothing more than a civil arbitration panel, I have no problem with it.

So what you're saying is; An American Beth Din (Jewish 'court') has zero jurisdiction over criminal matters, and <b>no more power than any other arbitration panel</b> mutually agreed upon by both parties to a dispute. Do you have a problem with people being permitted to choose their own...

Where the fuck have all the great American leaders gone? As I see it, this country is on a collision course with disaster. The U.S. is a stagecoach, the horses rapidly galloping out towards the steep cliff we are about to fall off, yet the American people apathetically sit idle inside this...

How about all the recent deadly violence in Africa (Darfur, Sierra Leone, Congo, etc.) Was that a product of video games too? <b>This thread is full of people lashing out blindly, trying in vain to latch onto <i>something</i> to blame.</b> The fact is, a small minority of the human race is...

Many of the 'synthetic' opioids are still poppy plant derivatives. Buprenorphine, hydrocodone, oxycodone and oxymorphone are all made from thebaine- A basic Papaver Somniferum alkaloid.

Think of all the narcissistic people you know personally. Are any of them capable of such a barbaric act? I think not. It's not narcissism at all, but something else.

Um... wait a second. Would any of you happen to know if the Papaver Somniferum in particular can survive without bees?

I think the free market will sort this out. This colony collapse phenomenon has caused bee prices to skyrocket over the past year, which naturally encourages beekeepers to step up production efforts to replace the dead hives and keep up with demand. The new high price of bees is also encouraging...

I'm with you, b. The FDA does FAR MORE harm than good.

You're just showing your ignorance. In the mid-1970's, scientists discovered that every human brain contains natural chemicals which are nearly identical to opiates (and also act on the same opiate receptors). These endogenous opioids are called endorphins, dynorphins, and enkephalins...

Imagine this: You're having mechanical difficulties with your car, which is unable to drive any faster than 20 MPH due to a broken transmission. You take the car in to a mechanic, explain the problem to him, and he <i>fixes</i> the problem by replacing your tires with new ones. Needless to say...
