    As California goes...so goes the nation.

    http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2009/07/05/MNSD18HAT0.DTL Looks like the media is finally starting to pick up on how bad the economy is. I've been seeing news about us on the front page of the paper every day now. I still think its being reported mildly and i still dont...

    Bloomberg: Emerging Markets Gain Record Share of World Equity

    16 year old. At least the 16 year old doesnt have the life experience to lie as well as the 60 year old, so if something goes fishy, you can see it a mile away.

    Depiction of the Christian struggle

    You make a good point...but I think we can really tell the guy with the barcelona story was probably embelishing it quite a bit and if the Christians were here, im sure we would hear a completely different account of what happened. Often its hard for a Christian to share their faith so they...

    Depiction of the Christian struggle

    I am 100% sure that their conversation was nothing like the way you just embelished it. Your answer to their questions about "why do you like beer" is pretty telling though. It says that you are a crowd follower. That because everyone else is doing it, you do it. I'm sure their question...

    McDonalds is hiring.

    Saying mcdonalds is hiring is misleading. Fast food places usually always have their "we are hiring" signs up, not because they need more employees, but because they want the applications on hand because its a high turnover rate job. Mcdonalds likes to have all those applications on hand so...

    God is the Devil?

    Should God destroy the devil and all the bad people of the world? In that case how would you define bad? No...maybe the question is...who gets to define bad? Since God is the absolute power in the universe, then God gets to decide. Hence...the 10 commandments. Ever broken one of them...

    "White House Foresees 10 Percent Unemployment Before Year End"

    I thought it was Obama that was saying with the stimulus we wont have more than 8.5% unemployment. The fact that they are saying its going over 10% now means its probably going to be much worse.

    Emerging markets up to 8.5 trillion from 5.1 trillion

    yeah you are right. All those poor Chinese farmers and laborers were just sitting on trillions of dollars and decided that now was a good time to invest. The article says that investors were all trying to jump on the emerging markets bandwagon. Sure some of that growth was stuff that they...

    Emerging markets up to 8.5 trillion from 5.1 trillion

    http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aqO3hUtyjtuw Wow...I guess we know where all that US money is going now. Thats a pretty hefty jump for just 1 year. It can only be people getting out of their money in the west to put it in markets in the east.

    California's empty Wallet: Turning crisis into opportunity!

    Hey...California was based on the concept of a free ride. Back when California was called "Alta California" before it became a state, nobody wanted to live here. Then some guy yelled "Gold" and everyone flocked here. And over the years people have yelled different but similar things to get...

    when did Ruth Madoff know

    Lets say some guy ripped you off for 100 million dollars. I bet you would be begging for him to run so you could go find him. Im sure bernie knew this and figured it would be safer for him in Jail.

    Merrill Lynch ups U.S. GDP forecast for 2nd half 2009 to 2,7 %

    I wonder how much of that GDP is from the government spending 1.8 trillion of money printed out of thin air

    Jobless Claims

    I've seen a few extra homeless people in my area. I've also seen a few businesses shut down, but not really that many. The ones that did shut down are not getting replaced by any new business, but its not like we have empty malls or anything like that.

    You can tell how free a country is by how treasonous this statement sounds.

    Obama is a pawn. He doesnt run the show. Getting rid of him is pointless. Obama would just be replaced by an identical drone. Its the federal reserve and the too big to fail corporations that are running this show. Those are the ones that need to be taken out.

    You can tell how free a country is by how treasonous this statement sounds.

    God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy...

    Whats the difference between California IOUs and issuing paper money by the state?

    I mean this is pretty much the same thing right? California Issuing its own paper...doesnt matter much if its called an IOU or a California dollar. Its still worth the same thing. Nothing.

    Wage Deflation

    Well #2 wont last long. With oil prices going up, food going up, and people losing their jobs and the relatives have to support them, those savings rates will not stay up forever. So that money will start to be spent, then they will borrow from their credit card to help support Uncle Joe that...
