I hate to say such things, honestly. But I notice that, crawling all over wall street, are these Asian folk that Goldman worships and starts at like a quarter million and then they think Americans are so stupid and they act like they are better than we are but then again most people on wall street act that way but still.

FWIW, orientals are rugs. Asians are people. Not that I care, just amazing that people still say orientals without knowing any better.

Quote from FuturesTrader71:
I am always concerned when someone calls himself a trader but still allows himself to use a broad brush to label mankind. It is sad to see that many guys here, who are exposed to many markets and tons of global info, still feel that they can say a group of people is intelligent/dumb or whatever. Humans are individuals. The link is cultural rather than by race or color.![]()
I yield to you undivided, unbounded wisdom and knowledge. I don't get my thoughts from a "thought-book" (or is that my brain). I get them from experience. I speak 6 languages, have lived in over 8 countries and have visited more countries and cultures than the majority of the people on the planet. For that, I consider myself privileged and wish all people had the same experience.Quote from aPismoClam:

the link is cultural rather than race or color? So, members of a race don't share culture?
you are confused. very. you should think for yourself instead of parrotting whatever's floating around in the pc "thoughtbook."

Where do you get your global/racial/cultural knowledge? Cancel that... I don't want to know. I don't really care how far you can piss.
Thanks and best regards.![]()
