    Preemptive Nationalization To Save US - The Shortie Solution

    I just realized that shortie is probably one of the better trolls this forum has seen in awhile.

    A planet with no money

    Who decides how much air I can breathe? That's probably the worse example I've ever heard. Air is in hyperabundance, and even then, we require government agencies to make sure it stays clean enough to not give us cancer. Air is also naturally occuring in every outdoor spot on earth. Is oil...

    A planet with no money

    Ya, no shit. It's too bad there isn't a hyperabundance of high quality mobile phones and telecom networks, or a hyperabundance of laborers skilled enough to build fucking maglev trains inside of vacuum tubes (which are difficult enough for NASA to build on a significant scale). In an...

    A planet with no money

    How would I get food or a home? Would the community provide it for me? Who decides who gets how much? Would we be stuck in the stone ages, or would some be technicians and others farmers? Especially then, then who would decide who gets what?

    Preemptive Nationalization To Save US - The Shortie Solution

    Is this thread a joke? Forceful wealth redistribution will not happen. If it's attempted, the wealthy would rather spend all of their money fighting a war against anybody trying to take it than just give it up. And you thought the Civil War was brutal? Deport all the illegal immigrants...

    World military spending in 2009 = $1.53 trillion. USA share = 43%

    Drawing upon one of the, if not the, largest war this world has ever seen and using that as the new baseline for war is somewhat silly. Just because it isn't war on an absolutely massive scale doesn't mean we aren't at war. I feel like the military would disagree with you.

    hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahaha "i declare a war on terror........." sorry its not written down on a congressional sheet of paper that officially labels it war- if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then its a fucking duck for all...

    World military spending in 2009 = $1.53 trillion. USA share = 43%

    Do you dispute the fact that military spending should rise during wartime? Do you dispute the fact that much of the military spending is beneficial to the world economy? Such as the 20+ carriers that help maintain the shipping lanes? Do you dispute the fact that you aren't including...

    World military spending in 2009 = $1.53 trillion. USA share = 43%

    Now I'm only 18, but isn't one of the main reasons we are in the current mess we are in now (militarily) precisely because we decided to ignore threats 20 years down the line? Like how, 20 years ago, the Soviet Union was collapsing, and then we decided to say "fuck you" to our allies (of...

    Which is the BEST list for value investing ?

    APC is probably one of the trades you wish you placed in a year.

    Peak oil thread

    Thats because there's just no room left for growth with the integrateds. They are generally pretty fairly priced. The money that yall are looking for is going to be focused on the upstream, not the downstream that integrateds like XOM are very focused on. E&P's and services are going to...

    My Moving Average automated trend following system, why is it that bad?

    I'm going to guess that it catches moves too late. Without looking, I'm going to suggest maybe weighting more recent price moves (ie exponential MA).

    It is not hard to see why BP boss is hated

    The whole room was full of douches with agendas that aren't in alignment with those of the general population.

    China will lie to U.S. ally on a matter of war

    No it really just means you have somewhat minimal understanding of how the world works, and the drivers behind what has been labeled as "terrorism." While I am glad to see you love the US, it discourages me that you make such broad proclamations before making sure you are fully, in every...

    Level of satisfaction with Economy, Security, Wars and life overall.

    But on a serious note, I can't answer accurately to any of the poll options. I am not happy with the way things are. However, it seems like the overall trend is starting to go in the right direction. Finally, people are: -Starting to be more aware and informed of the current state of...

    Level of satisfaction with Economy, Security, Wars and life overall.

    If a lawsuit hits JPM, I recommend you go long. I hope you went long after GS got hit with their lawsuit. I need somebody to take the other side of my trades, so I'd appreciate your help.

    European Bailout Simillar to America's?

    Is this bailout going to be similar to America's? Will it have the same effects? I'd like to see some good discussion here. I think if we can get some of the right answers or information, we all know what to do... (I'm just praying that it will have the same effects as the US bailout...then...
