    This is how the troops are supported???

    Summary: Incompetent/uncaring soldiers mishandled a fellow G.I., so somehow this is Bush's fault.

    Iranian paper launches Holocaust cartoon competition

    The SF Gate editorial staff put their lives and the lives of their loved ones in <b>direct physical danger</b> by publishing the drawings. True or false? That's a courageous act, not a marketing gimmick.

    Iranian paper launches Holocaust cartoon competition

    That's not the reason at all. Once again, THIS is. Also, kudos to the <b>San Francisco Gate</b> for publishing the Danish drawings. Yes, you heard me- The SF Gate. A bunch of Birkinstock wearing homosexual liberal hippies apparently have more balls to stand up for freedom of speech/freedom...

    SHAME, GUILT, THE MUSLIM PSYCHE, AND THE DANISH CARTOONS

    <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=975291> While this sounds identical to my own writing, I didn't write it: A guilt culture (i.e., the West) is typically and primarily concerned with truth, justice, and the preservation of individual rights. As noted earlier...

    SHAME, GUILT, THE MUSLIM PSYCHE, AND THE DANISH CARTOONS

    This article has such vast educational value, I need to bump this thread. Unless you've lived in a Muslim Arab society for a few years, you need to read it.

    Iranian paper launches Holocaust cartoon competition

    Every single portrayal I've ever seen of Muslim Arabs (both terrorists and innocents) in American TV shows and movies, is a complete misrepresentation. If anyone wants to truly understand the key difference between Muslim Arab vs. Western culture, an incredibly accurate article came out...

    SHAME, GUILT, THE MUSLIM PSYCHE, AND THE DANISH CARTOONS

    Wow. That's the first time I've ever read anyone <b>correctly</b> explain the key differences between Western and Arab Muslim culture. Every singal portrayal I've ever seen of Muslim Arabs (both terrorists and innocents) in American TV shows and movies, is a complete misrepresentation...

    Recommendations for a good book about selling options

    When it comes to options trading, I think certain personality types gravitate naturally towards varying strategies accordingly. Those who instinctively crave limited risk/unlimited returns will seek out options buying strategies. (Or lottery tickets.) Those who fall in love with the idea...

    POLL: Islam - vicious and wicked faith

    I'm not. The poster you're referring to is a skilled craftsman in the art of annoying the shit out of people- the Michael Jordan of internet trolls. It instinctively knows that any attempt to spark a 'battle re-enactment', would <b>not</b> successfully annoy me. Therefore, doing so would serve...

    POLL: Islam - vicious and wicked faith

    No, their lives revolve around personal, family, and tribal <b>honor</b>. That includes extremely violent (and disproportionate, by Western standards) reactions to any little perceived insult thrown their way. I've had many interesting discussions with Arab Muslims- both those imprisoned by...

    Muslims are enraged!!

    The Danish embassy in Beirut has been destroyed now too. The E.U. has shown nothing but appeasement towards radical Islam... and now, they get the typical Islamic reward. "An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile - hoping it will eat him last. " ~Sir Winston Churchill

    POLL: Islam - vicious and wicked faith

    Hamas recently won the Pali elections, and Hizbollah did very well in Lebanon. How well has the KKK done in the electoral process of southern U.S. states? I'm talking post-WW2 here. One Klansman won one petty local election once. That's about it. No comparison.

    POLL: Islam - vicious and wicked faith

    I do better- I run a hedge fund. I didn't get rich by <i>not</i> being able to predict the future. :D Edit: Jeez, why am I so arrogant today? A couple six-figure weeks and I sound like $$$Mr Market$$$. I'll slap myself and quit this, before the market does the slapping for me.

    POLL: Islam - vicious and wicked faith

    As usual, I was first, and then society took a few years to catch up to me. I was an Islamophobe back when that was considered a bad thing: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=14991&highlight=religion+of+peace I called fascism back in 2003, when nobody was even...

    Two old ladies beat up a crook

    You're misrepresenting and misunderstanding the concerns of civil libertarians like myself. A private citizen fending off an attacker <b>cannot possibly be guilty of civil rights violations.</b> The concern is mainly directed at government agents. If the mugger had been arrested and held for...
