Ron Paul's idea of survival of the fittest by violence conjures up some sort of Mad Max situation of mostly young, gun wielding lunatics ! Back to the state of the Old West or further to savages is not my idea of a sensible strategy.

I really wonder where you were from OT - Nazi Germany ? Soviet Russia ? to take such a violent view. BTW over 90% of Israel's land wasn't purchased - it was stolen by force. Is that what you are complaining about ? The Allies did stop Nazi Germany stealing Europe and more, and yes force was...

The irony is that mainly older people seem to care. The young have dozens of years to look forward to, while our time is limited to just a few more. Surely there must be plenty of people, even in money mad US who don't want to trash the planet for money ! I mean c'mon just a bit of...

Rather than starting World War 3 and extinction I support the UN as the only hope !! Corrupt and nearly useless - well yes but better than nuking each other I suppose.

Surely democracy has had it's day - around the world they are struggling to survive. And why ? It's patently obvious that the masses will vote for the party that gives them the biggest handouts, as in Greece where many used to have a dozen so called jobs, which were really handouts to attract...

Time to reconsider imho Take a look at gold. It is going up still.

Expecting another flattish day.

Almost everyone is expecting a US led war on Iran in the next few weeks or months. The sanctions are now in place and affecting the Iranian civilians. The majority of the ordinary Iranians like what the West has to offer in the way of democracy, music, technology etc. The sabre rattling by the...

Here is a possible scenario to ponder

Hope you don't mind me joining your thread for a while. I have a fairly flat day pencilled in for today, but I am often wrong !

I bought Version 11 but have to agree Metastock which was once a world leader has been overtaken ! And the cost - horrific or laughable ! It does serve though as an EOD charting package, with the S&P data loaded manually. I don't bother with realtime data streaming etc - too expensive. The...

This is not my experience but something you will probably experience Yep, i agree for some thats the case but i'm crap at demo because i can't take it seriously. I didn't start developing as a trader until i started feeling the pain of losing real money. However, it is important to have a...

Just read through the entire thread. You must have made one of the fastest starts ever. Great except this a lifetime marathon. You will still be learning aged 70. As for the advice offered to you so far - well yes middling to bad. You have stated very clearly what YOU want. Have a...

I envy the guys on Pacific islands with no roads etc. Sitting under a palm tree - no worries. No cars so $0 per gallon of gas. A McDonald free area of natural unspoilt beauty. No crappy politicians/police/revenue etc. Don't tell or everybody will be coming here.

Benny's idea of printing more and more money will suddenly strike imho as inflation. What the dummy doesn't realize is that the politicians have made awfully bad decisions and the bankers etc. are cashing in on the " too big to fail " argument. Poor ole Joe Sixpack isn't doing at all well...

Why not judge your intended heavenly destination by the murder rate per 100,000 ? Apparently, just to kick off, the murder rate is 88.8 per 100,00 in Washington DC.Is that good I hear you asking yourself ? Well to get it in some sort of proportion it's worse than Iraq !

They don't make 'em like that anymore !!!!

Each state could invent it's own money. A New York $ might then equal 2 Californian $s. Then insist that each state pays it's own way. No bailouts/handouts from the rest.

Giving away the sort of money you are talking about would be hyper inflationary and therefore useless. Sorry to pour cold water on your idea , but it wouldn't do any good and would do a lot of harm to make matters even worse.

The point is that Europe and the USA are uncompetitive. They have lumbered themselves with high petrol taxes ( because of the greens ), VAT and all the beaurocratic red tape from Brussels. The BRIC countries are taking whole industries and millions of jobs away. The Govt/fatcats are going to...
