If everyone did that, the problem would never get solved. Thankfully, there <b>are</b> people in this world who care enough to fight for what's right, instead of taking the 'bend over and take it quietly' approach as you would suggest.

While I'm an <b>individualist</b>, all racists are <b>collectivists</b> by definition. Explaining the stupidity of collectivism and the merits of individualism to racists isn't going to work. The issue is too complex, and you'd need chapters upon chapters of philosophical text to explain it...

Does anyone else get the feeling those six shahids <b>wanted</b> to be ejected from the flight? That they deliberately planned this whole episode in advance, and were given the exact treatment they wanted to get?

Hopefully one day I'll have the kind of dough it would take to do it all properly. I have some very interesting anti-prohibition tv ad ideas already.

Well, the pig <b>narcs</b> were sent there for the specific purpose of enforcing drug prohibition and other unjust 'victimless crime' laws- so they were <i>already</i> there on a mission to oppress the public. So, instead of arresting innocent political prisoners and seizing their property...

Agreed 100%. Sharpton & Jackson have made their careers on fanning the flames of racial tension, widening the rift in America between black and white.

You have no idea how complex that whole issue is. The world just wasn't built for people like me. Most individuals would enjoy relaxing on some sunny tropical beach, sipping margaritas, right? Not me. I was absolutely miserable when I was in early retirement. The list of activities I'm...

<i>as i have stated multiple times on these boards, i voted for bush in 2000 and have owned up to this horrendous mistake. i hadn't voted for a non independent in awhile and i really hated the thought of a gore administration. i was blinded by the prospects of the libby libs being in power for...

I use that analogy all the time! :D The only way to motivate <b>anyone</b> to do <b>anything</b> you wish them to do, is by <b>appealing to their sense of self interest</b>. Period.

...but even worse: Once ratboy believes something, he then proceeds to shut out any and all contradictory evidence- rigidly clinging to his initial assumption 'till death do them part. If I'm wrong, ratboy; Go ahead and tell me about the last time you changed your mind on any meaningful...

You do know that "Cobalt" is just the new name for "Cavalier", right?

You know what <i>else</i> might be a recipe for unhappiness? Nearly 100% of your posts here contain harsh, bitter, and negative statements. At least <i>my</i> insanity has a 7-figure silver lining. :D Not trying to start shit here... Just sayin'.

Well, in fairness; Some of the (non-counting) tourists might not want the same dealer treatment as you would. They are there to gamble (-EV), relax & drink, so they might want their dealers a bit more chatty.

I am willing to take on a student or two, but <b>only</b> on the strict condition that you look like THIS or THIS. If you qualify, please feel free to PM me.

Do you want to know the future of Baghdad? Look at the chaos, the diverse infighting factions, and the utter devastation of <b>Beirut</b> twenty years ago- and there's your answer. How does it all end? Again, look at Beirut. Intense fighting raged for six brutal years after Reagan pulled the...

True. If the Iraqi people had chosen to behave under U.S. occupation as the West German people did in the late 1940's, Iraq could have <b>become</b> West Germany: Peaceful, prosperous, and modern. The U.S. certainly screwed up by invading Iraq in the first place- That is an indisputable...

You have GOT to be kidding me! :eek: Three possibilities, as I see it: A) JMartinez is a specialist himself, or allied with the NYSE specialists in some way, and is here trying to lobby on their behalf. B) JM's posts here are some kind of practical joke, trolling, or something along...

Looking at this from an individualist perspective instead of a collectivist one: Complete cultural assimilation- becoming Americans first and Jews second, is actually the <b>best</b> way for Jewish individuals to have a future in America.

The signal to noise ratio just got a bit worse in here. Mods: Please move this crap to chit chat.

Some of you may be surprised to see <b>me</b> here complaining about the specialists. It is widely believed that for the most part only losing traders do that, in order to avoid taking personal responsibility for their own red ink. My answer: I'm discussing the issue <i>now</i>, after market...
