    Which Has Been A Bigger Failure--War On Drugs Or War On Poverty?

    If I remember correctly, you're now on a drug that really helps you out, and you 'found' it for your physican ? ----Yes, that's what happened. But in all honesty, were your problems getting treated a result of prohibition, or poor/faulty medical knowledge ? -------It'll be hard to...

    Weed Bust

    What exactly am I <i>resorting</i> to? A labor-saving invention idea popped into my head a couple years ago. I know I could never make a penny off the idea, so I mentioned that I'd be willing to share the idea here for free. That's all.

    Which Has Been A Bigger Failure--War On Drugs Or War On Poverty?

    I'll think I'll go with the one that came within an inch of killing me: http://www.prohibitionkills.blogspot.com/ The thing about drug prohibition, it causes far more damage than anyone is even aware of, as most people are unable or unwilling to connect all the dots. Take the Vioxx...

    Assumption#1: Publicizing my labor-saving poppy harvesting tool designs would be harmful to the interests of overseas drug bosses. <b>False.</b> They too, would take advantage of the new tools. Assumption#2: I'd just hate to get assassinated. Living to a ripe old age, just so I can spend...

    No, not opium/heroin. It takes 175-250 man hours of labor to produce just one kilo of raw opium. Therefore it must be grown where labor is very cheap. The most labor intensive part is the harvest. Each poppy pod must be gently slit to allow the latex to bleed out for half a day. Then the...

    Great secularist line, which I'd never heard prior to this video: "Believe whatever you want. I allow you to believe in stones, as long as you don't throw them at me."

    i broke; i QUIT

    I should clarify: I didn't mean <i>stupid gambling</i> like roulette wheels and slot machines. My point was that seven figure+, highly successful traders nearly always have a history of intelligent, calculated 'gambling'- the kind where one has an edge, and <b>not</b> a mathematical...

    i broke; i QUIT

    I can't believe nobody has corrected/strongly disagreed with/ mocked this post. Perhaps the above personality profile fits the semi-successful, five-figure/year grinder, but certainly <b>not</b> the seven figures+ high roller. Not even close!

    Lauren, I think a good dermatologist could clear up your blurry face condition. There have been major advancements in the field of medical de-blurrifying. <img src=http://www.thespinzone.com/me.jpg> (We both know you really wanted someone to post that picture. ) :D

    Poker and the Beginning Trader

    While this point is not without merit, that's also how many fish commonly justify (to themselves), staying in hands which should be folded. "I'm not foolishly drawing to a 2-outer, I'm <i>mixing up my play.</i>" :D P.S. Regarding your aggressive comments toward TraderNik, you should back...

    Holy shit?! Are you kidding me? No it's not me, I haven't been dealt a hand in almost a year... and I'm surprised there's another high rolling Rearden Metal out there! Could you ask this character if he knows me, or if he just picked the name the same way I did (Just reading Atlas Shrugged)...

    How many children have been molested and permanently scarred by perverts who <b>could have been caught</b>, had law enforcement personnel been focused on <b>fighting actual crime<b>, instead of taking political prisoners? <b>Prohibition will continue, only for as long as you let it. </b>

    Hate speech from Liberal Mainstreamists

    The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not "insurgents" or "terrorists" or "The Enemy." They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow -- and they will win. ~Michael Moore http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/message/index.php?messageDate=2004-04-14

    If Iran & Israel Go To War...

    Illiterate is the wrong word. Few cultures cherish male literacy more than Islam. I think the terms you're looking for here are "Poorly educated, narrow minded, and ignorant of of world." ...but not illiterate.

    Oh, the welfare of the actual Palestinian <b>people</b> is of negligible consequence to anyone, especially the Arab street. If anyone cared about improving the lives of these pawns, it could have been easily accomplished and long forgotten about many decades ago. I didn't mean to imply that...

    "One of the agents here in Nashville worked on this for 5 years before the warrant was finally served in December." Good thing those thousands of hours of work weren't devoted to lesser causes- such as getting child molesters, con men and spree killers off the streets.

    If Iran & Israel Go To War...

    How can you play winning chess, if you can't take the luxury of strategically sacrificing your own pawns? The sole incentive for a Muslim leader to attempt Israel's nuclear annihilation is <b>prestige</b>, and nothing else. The pretense for such Muslim aggression would of course be "deep...
