Whats "strange" about it? People have accidents all the time and its obviously not widely circulated news yet, but a number of people who know him (including Cramer) have made public mention of it, so I dont see how you could delude yourself into thinking its not true. We all have our day. In...

Not using one at all. We tried, at TFMS, once to impliment a buddy system for our members. It was a disaster. People end up thinking too much, talking too much and ultimatly taking on each others worst traits, but rarely each others best, and having their own worst traits multiplied. We had many...

From CNN President Bush, during a surprise visit to Iraq, today said fewer U.S. forces may be needed to maintain security there. "If the kind of success we're now seeing continues, it will be possible to maintain the same level of security with fewer American forces," Bush said. Sometimes I...

Of your 28 "full" democracies from the Economists list all of them with significant Muslim populations have had considerable problems with that population, most notably #3 the Netherlands and #13 Germany. The Netherlands has been a fairly steadfast ally in the "War on Terror", esp in...

I think so, but thats a question that is probably taken up by a tenured "deep thinker" (LOL). The common quotation used is to "take" a life, but is there much of a difference between take and steal? What is "is"? kind of debate if you ask me, a good one to have, but not an easy one. I'm not...

If trading was as easy as a lot of the folks on ET and most of the gurus out there make it seem to be none of us would have houses to live in, food to eat or cloths to wear. The world would drop what they do and trade...but then what would they trade if there is no production??

Read Market Wizards by Schwagger, The Money Masters by John Train and other biographies of top traders and the performance numbers of various hedge funds, mutual funds, trading programs etc, then get back to us on how realistic it is to do 15-20% year after year after year, let alone 25/30. Can...

It really depends. Of course in a bull market that is true, any reason for stocks to move higher will most generally get them doing so. However, when you get into a bear market, sideways market or even a bull market that is not all that strong other factors such as market tone and direction...

Its not consistant with my own beliefs, and I hope I've made it very clear in my posts here that I have no sympathy for them at all and think they should all be killed. However, with in the context of their belief system, yes they are being "moral". I'm not afraid to pass judgement and say I...

Thats nice in theory, but its like saying a bear market in stocks will end when the PE of this Index or that one reaches X. It might be in the neighborhood, but likely on the very edge and close to the next one. Each market has its own economics, your never going to find, for example, NYC...

I want to make something clear here. My point is not that we should go out there and have a fight with everyone out there who looks cross eyed at us or who we could have some reason to have a fight with. Thats the approach of 13 year old boys with too much testostrone and low self esteem. EVERY...

Thank you.

No, its not. I think we should do everything possible to avoid a conflict, esp one we are not willing to win. I think there are a number of means and methods that have not been tried yet with Iran and it would be at the very least stupid to attack them before trying many other things available...

They are not in the habit of taking on recruits with active hodgkins. I do have two brothers in the milatary though and a number of cousins. If they would have taken me, I assure you I'd have served as well.

Why is it that when a person can not win an arguement based upon the facts then they start twisting and word fucking what you say?

Thats correct, the fact that the entire country has been infected with your attitude is why we have not won a single real conflict since WW2. Before that people had a willingness to do what was required, even make personal sacrafices. Now.......

Killing German and Japanese civilians, causing them to no longer support their governments has a lot to do with winning a war. Killing a bunch of people (The Jews) who had no horse in the race had no strategic value to German victory, and probably diverted a ton of resources they could have...

I never said we bombed Dresden early.

Some added historical perspective on the need for brutality of your going to win a war for the uninformed. Viewed in today's terms Shermans march through the south could not be viewed as anything but a campaign of terror against the woman and children of the south. It was brutal and...
