it is not inevitable yet that iran will have the bomb, and desirable is it neither with a psycho in charge treatening in public to wipe countries off the map (imagine if he says this in public what he says *edit: says/thinks in private!)

so we have people here, saying no to "war". I keep wondering though: everybody knows, if we do nothing, than iran will have the bomb in 1 or 2 years. is that acceptable?

no because it's unenforcable

so how else would you solve the crime problem that is associated with drugs? as long as selling owning producing drugs is illegal, there will be huge profits ahead for the ones willing to take the risk. of course best would be to legalize, but for some reason i don't see that happen either.

I am not sure about "most universally accepted measuring stick". there are many many other things that can make you feel secure enough to believe you have something to offer to other people.

if you ask me, all this well-intentioned help, did nothing to make anyone happy. look at africe, lots a help trying to westernize the continent, but if you ask me, the natives would have been happier without us westerners.

while in the shower i got this idea: if people want to ban drugs, instead of it being illegal to own, produce or sell drugs, why not make it only illegal to *use* drugs. that would clear out all the narco-gangstas in one sweep. it's just ridiculous this war on drugs, the government can...

"marketmaker's edge" is an interesting book to start off with.

pretty simple, no? people who make their living on the specialist system say stay, others say go.

i find this so weird. all these economic "threat" stories. i always thought if china does well, it must be good for US as well. if china doesn't do well, (economic collapse) then the US will feel the pain as well (who else is gonna finance their debt).

imo, all hedgefunds in general will have more difficult times ahead. the business is commodotizing..

what's the difference? the guy says he doesn't make money anymore and he asks for advice on jobs after trading. i have seen hedgefunds looking for traders, who knows you might get lucky, i don't know.

cutting losses, riding winners is as important as always.

i heard a number somewhere that the actual production of the car costs already half of the energy the car will use during it's lifespan in use.

recently i saw "the sixth sense" for the first time. the psychologist was indeed totally useless to the little guy. but when he suddenly got it, he was actually of great help. nice twist at the end by the way.

look further, i am sure there must be some useful ones.

Rearden Metal: why not, instead of seeking relief in medicine that, drug this, find a really good therapist? I used to have some problems which got cured over time, without any help of drugs. you'll never know, maybe it is genetic. but i think in majority of cases drugs don't help in the long...

i would not change *anything* are you crazy?
