I watch a lot of movies and there are two I've seen recently that I would recommend to anyone who likes serious and compelling dramas - The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, and Gone Baby Gone. I wont give away any more of the plot than the trailers do, instead I'll...

Baywatch was the most popular show in Iran for many years, and I don't think it was even "legally" available, you had to have a pirate antenna or something to receive it. While there may be some nutcases who were upset about it's influence, the majority of the population obviously had no...

The old jealousy theory. Yes, there are a few extremists who are committed to a world without music, movies and picnics, but there are many more who simply want to live their life and would rather be a barber than a terrorist. Terrorism is a problem that will probably continue to exist...

Well I guess we're both right then. He'll consider it if any of the GOP candidates endorse his policies, but none of them do (or will) so he wont consider it.

Do you remember where you heard him say this? About a week ago on Leno I believe he said the exact opposite. Maybe he's changed his mind, one way or another. I'd rather have Ron Paul as VP than nothing.

I will explain to you (as far as I understand it) Ron Paul's anti-terrorist policy. The general idea is - Secure the borders, stop antagonizing every other country in the world. 1. Secure the borders. He says it's ridiculous to be spending billions of dollars fighting wars when anyone...

Yeah, the potential gridlock is something I'm concerned about too. However, at a minimum he'll be able to stop excessive spending. I disagree about him being unelectable. If he somehow manages to win the republican nomination, I think he'll win the presidency easily. He appeals to both...

Ron Paul was on Leno a week or so ago, and Leno asked him about the possibility of joining with another candidate as his running mate. Ron Paul said that he wouldn't be interested because his views are in such conflict with the other republicans and he wouldn't be willing to make such a big...

I've learned French and Italian, and I must have tried half the books and CD sets available on the market. I agree with the others who found Rosetta Stone overrated. While it's a great way to learn basic vocabulary, there's no grammar instruction and you don't learn anything about the...

I only spent a week total between Florianopolis and Curitiba, so some of my impressions might be wrong but I'll give it a shot. Between the two I preferred Florianopolis. The city is sort of split up into two parts, with half of it on the mainland, and half of it on the island of Santa...

Which is why I didn't recommend Rio or Sao Paulo. The cities in the south (Specifically - Florianopolis, Porto Alegre, Curtiba) have lower crime rates than NYC, and kidnappings are not an issue. Yes, if you're running around with hookers you stand the chance of being robbed, but I think this...

What strikes me as strange is that you want a gun to protect yourself against the government. Most people want guns to protect themselves against thieves/intruders. If the CIA decides to assassinate you, I'm sorry but a machine gun isn't going to make any difference. If you're talking about...

This certainly is an interesting thread. Taxes, nazis, the second amendment... As somebody already said, your idea of eutopia doesn't exist. In fact I cannot think of a single country that comes remotely close. - Legalized drugs If you're thinking of anything harder than marijuana, I...

Uh... I hope to move to the south of Brazil some day, so on second thought maybe I don't want you living near me. To be honest I'm not sure what exactly the gun laws are, and they may have different rules for locals and foreigners. However, I think the gun laws aren't too restrictive because...

I'm not a tax advisor so take my advice for what it's worth, but I have researched this stuff previously and from what I understand the situation is as follows - the $82k exception only applies to money earned which comes from the foreign country you are living in. If you got a job working...

I purchased Joe Ross' book on options (along with some software add-in) a while back, and was extremely dissatisfied. Besides being expensive it was poorly written and just covered the basics. The software was terrible too. I don't know what happened to it so I'm not offering it to sell...

I hate to post this on the board here, but I've attempted to contact several prop firms that I'm interested in joining (Namely Echo and VTrader) and haven't received any responses (maybe because I ask too many questions), so I'm going to post my basic prop trading questions here. If anyone...
