    Game Over, Atheists

    Neither of these things are true, except in a childish, close-minded reading. Every document must be considered as a whole, not extracting a shard and then proclaiming. Whether Koran, Shakespeare, Bagavad-Gita, the whole work must be considered and understood, and in context, or it is just...

    SPAMMER - April 2

    2.5 hours later, the mods still have not gotten around to this. Would love to have just the ability to lock a spammer's thread/ID for a day and erase a spam URL. Nothing else.

    If you're a trader, you're a loser.

    There is an amazing amount of denial on ET. Less than 1% of traders will ever become a longterm very profitable trader. The rest will blow up or bleed money slowly until they sink into the mud. But even so, most of them joke and taunt and laugh at stories like in the OP. And then they...

    My guess as to why traders fail

    There was a good article a few years ago about accuont size and success. Basically, your odds went up drastically as you went from $10K to $20K, up to $50K, up to $100K trading with $5K or $7.5K, each is just as unlikely to allow someone to succeed. Undercapitalization is one of about 3-4...

    New idea on How to bailout Greece

    reminds me of the hoopla the last few years, about "Count Every Vote" and Hanging Chads and spending $billion plus to change the voting machines, to ensure accuracy is to 0.01% instead of 0.1% Do all these efforts really change anything, other than to add to our overall deficit? How many...

    No health reform, we can trust the insurance companies.

    still trying to figure out why: -- they will spend over a $million trying to keep alive, a baby delivered as early as 4.5 months premature. -- or if someone shoots a woman in the stomach and she survives but an as yet 6-month unborn baby dies, the shooter can be charged with a crime in...

    What type of firm would this be?

    in the current context, I would call it "foolish." Few traders are going to walk in the door and make money. And ones who become successful may not work with you, or may leave you. I suspect the more traditional, requiring a $5K+ deposit, and making $$$ in commissions/fees, whatever makes...

    Want opinion on collective2

    *yikes*. Almost everyone who is a newbie considers this a good idea. And pretty much everyone who votes "great idea" or "that is what I was thinking" is also still a newbie. After you spend a few years trading or take a few logic classes, you will realize how worthless this idea is...

    Black Congressman: Military base will capsize Guam

    I guess he is that clueless. Cannot even understand a basic sentence. Try rereading the sentence, and you may grasp its meaning more. Your interpretation is way off.
