I do recall, back when Bush appointed Roberts or Alito to the Supreme Court, there was <b>only one</b> ET member who became steadfastly fixated on the justice's race. Everyone else was focused on the actual issues. I suppose you'd readily condemn that ET member as a racist, would you not?

Canyonman, your description of Obama's flaws sounds spot-on to me, so since you seem to know how his mind works I have to ask: Do you think President Obama would finally put an end to drug prohibition (a policy rooted in anti African-American & Latino racism since inception)... or would he at...

Thank you for taking the time to explain all of that on my behalf, in a respectful tone. I definitely need to take your words into consideration, and it may well be true that I've been convinced of things that have no real scientific basis. I hadn't put all that much time into trying to...

Sure, when it comes to predictions, an 80% success ratio is fantastic. OK, I think I have a great 'out' for you: Perhaps whenever you <i>appear</i> to be jumping to a conclusion and making a claim with 100% cetainty, your <b>true intent</b> is really just to make a prediction on the likely...

Wu-Tang: Wow, kudos to you on the 2nd bravest forthright personal admission I've ever seen anyone post to ET. That takes balls, for real. (Edit: I'm really not trying to hijack this thread, but since there's an obvious question that's due to follow this post, I might as well pre-emptively...

I predict a repeat of 2006: This summer, oil will find a top and stocks will find a bottom, followed by a combination equities rally/oil plunge starting in early fall.

Much appreciated! I already know a couple psychiatrists who approve of my message... I should try to get them to officially endorse it (although I'm certain that some of them would be far too afraid of the prohibition enforcement thugs to even consider it.) If your psychiatrist friend rejects...

Money may not buy happiness, but it does enable you with the potential to find it. It's similar to how the absence of severe chronic physical pain won't directly 'buy' you happiness, but it certainly is a pre-requisite for happiness to develop. ____ BTW, What's the over/under on how...

My sincere condolences NYX. Since the medical professionals who are supposed to be providing depression sufferers with the tools they need to overcome their illness are still fixated on serotonin/dopamine/norepinephrine, their prescribed treatments practically ignore the key role of...

So when I say that you're way too quick to jump to conclusions, you're actually surprised and confused as to why I'd ever believe such a thing? Really? A couple weeks back, when some 2-bit blogger started those baseless Michelle Obama 'whitey-tape' rumors, do you recall your reaction? It...

NO, this is one issue where ratboy has a solid point. Thimerosal containing vaccines are just one of three main possible ways for a person to become contaminated with mercury, causing symptoms that are indistinguishable from autism. Large fish (like tuna), and 'silver' dental fillings are the...

Rock Solid! <img src=http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/signs064.gif>

My lack of desire to hastily jump to definite conclusions without sufficient evidence is one thing, while quiet & compliant tolerance towards evil acts such as the thimerosal-autism coverup is something else entirely! You're trying to link two entirely unrelated concepts, kind of like Bush...

<i>"now please update us on where you stand on 9/11. are you going to lie to us?"</i> ---> When do I <b>ever</b> lie? You know I take pride in the fact that dishonesty is the one personality flaw I <b><i>don't</i></b> have! OK, now before I get into my stance on 9/11, I need to explain...

So according to your version of history, the whole Proletariat vs. Bourgeois class struggle was merely a minor side issue... while promoting atheism over theism was the true core priority of the Russian Reds? I must compliment your creativity & originality, because you're possibly the only...

I'm sure my previous post has just made LoZZZer's day! Now it gets the thrill of accusing me of trying to excuse discriminatory hiring, regardless of the solid logical basis behind my words. Knock yourself out, ZZZenu!

That's how you & I would play it- As a business owner, I just want the most qualified & competent people available for hire, regardless of race. (Obviously!) Unfortunately, many companies just don't work that way: ________...

REPOST: _________ OK, here's something I never understood: According to the New Testament, Jesus was indisputably NOT killed by his fellow Jews, but rather perished at the hand of Roman soldiers, right? Jesus' fellow Jews did have a role in bestowing the one available pardon on a hero of...

I was just pointing out how flawed the analogy was. I don't know much about this particular vendor, but I do tend to view them all through a lens of deeply seated skepticism. Consider the fact that he either <b>knew</b> how ridiculous his analogy sounded, or he <b>didn't know</b> it. That...

The <b>correct analogy</b> would have been: If Steve Jobs is so good at developing and marketing products, why doesn't he provide paid mentorship services to other businessmen who wish to do the same? (Answer: He doesn't) If Howard Schultz (Founder of Starbucks) is so good at expanding...
