    Roubini About Inflation

    You know if you check it out, a wooden barrel costs about $250 bucks. Quite a bit more than a normal set of clothes you could buy at the mall. http://www.kegworks.com/product.php?productid=172979&cat=1134&page=1

    Seceding Arizona from the US?

    I seem to remember a few states trying this about 150 years ago and got the shit kicked out of them for trying it. Was a total disaster, not to mention that the minute they started printing their own money, it became worthless pretty fast.

    The Swine Flu Scam

    Back in 1976 there was a swine flu scare. They mass vaccinated people and more people were killed by the vaccinations than the swine flu. So now today everyone has forgotten 1976 and everyone wants vaccinations. Today we get the news media to scare us into getting vaccinations. Back then...

    U.S. Mint suspends sales of almost all gold and silver coins

    Actually I plan to move to South East Asia in the next few years. I think America is a lost cause. Even after things get better, I think there will be such a gap between the rich and poor it will be incredibly dangerous to live here. The new poor people will remember what they used to have...

    Do you tip?

    Its not our fault that restaurants have terrible business models. If they wanted to, they could just charge 20% more for their food and then pay their employees a decent wage. But noooooo...they want to advertise their $3.99 grand slam breakfasts and such. They want to give you bill for $20...

    Well, We know you are a jackass for sure.... Most of the most successful people in the world have had jobs like pizza delivery, or sweeping floors somewhere. Ask anyone on here thats pulling in 250k+ per year if they have ever had a low paying job even when they started trading. It...

    Do you tip?

    This is absolutely true. Its one of the reasons I do not eat out in restaurants often. This is the mentality of Americans. You have to pay them NOT to spit in your food or something like that. I actually do not eat out that often, but my town is big enough that my frequency between eatting...

    Do you tip?

    Thats not the point. If you go to a store to buy a TV, do you give the cashier a couple of bucks just because it doesnt make a difference to your lifestyle? If you go to a bookstore to buy a book, do you give the person who shows you where the book you are looking for a few bucks? Its not...

    Do you tip?

    Yes...and its different in different countries. For instance...when I go to asian countries where tipping is not the norm, the service is usually exceptional and at worst is usually on par with american service. When I go to Europe, service is usually not so great. They generally just drop...

    Do you tip?

    Tipping is the biggest scam ever. I will rarely tip anymore. I just dont get it...if an employer is taking advantage of an employee by not paying him enough, but overcharging me for food, why should i feel guilty and pay that large bill + pay the servers salary? If you are charging 3 times...

    Barack Obama is tearing this country apart.

    Wait wait wait...are you seriously comparing Bush with those guys? Those leaders murdered millions of people. In Bush's presidency about 100 million people were freed from tyranny. (Iraqi's and Afgans) Not only that, but all those people were freed with the least amount of casualties that...

    Hypothetical situation

    If the small speculators knew about the big orders, they would not be selling. The price would go up, not down. In that situation it would be so much more likely that the small guys would hold onto their doodles hoping to make you buy their doodles at a higher price because they know you are...

    Why does ByLoSellHi litter the board with negative news articles

    He is just helping warn you about whats going on. You all should know that you should never follow the crowd. The people that bought the dot coms before everyone else were the ones that made money. The ones that bought real estate before the bubble were the ones that made money. The ones...

    Here's How Bad Vegas Is - Don't Let the 'Green Shoot' Crowd Bullshit You

    When i lived in Vegas 10 years ago I have a friend and she was a bus girl in Ceasars. The place if i remember right paid her min wage (which was 5.15 at the time) but she was pulling in 35k per year. At that time i remember her saying that the waiters that did banquets were making 100k. She...
