Afterward, Rush told CNN he was wearing a tie, suggesting he was appropriately dressed for the House floor. He said the purpose of putting on the hoodie was to send a message to young people, "to stand their ground, stand up and don't stand down."Interesting choice of words.

All of your posts are so silly. This is the most unscientific discussion ever. A very silly thing when you are all supposed to be discussing a scientific topic.
This is probably not a complete list of how ridiculous you all are.
erynthered is using argument from silence and Ad hominem attacks
Alaska Darin has used Judgmental language, appeal to ridicule, Appeal to spite
DC Tom used the Continuum fallacy and Appeal to ridicule
3rdnlng used Appeal to ridicule
Bigfatbillsfan used Appeal to spite
Thank you, Conner. Can we please get back to discussing the hard science and facts surrounding climate shift as introduced by Conner in the post below?
Still waiting for you to collect your Nobel Prize for disproving global warming. We all know you could be a famous man, but instead you sacrifice fame and fortune and spend your time educating1 our feeble minds. We on TBD/PPP appreciate that you give so much of yourself for us.

I can see why you're a legend at PPP. Why don't you look up irony on wikipedia while you're at it.

If you don't mind looking like you're doing your best Bear Grylls impersonation and drinking copious amounts of warm piss then its perfect, from a design standpoint.

You mean like hang out on this board and regurgitate "ideology" that you get from MSN? Yeah, your life is apparently awesome.
Well he does have a negative effective tax rate, which is pretty awesome.

Crump also said authorities were trying to "demonize" Martin with news accounts that surfaced Monday, saying Martin had been suspended from school in Miami for 10 days after a search of his book bag turned up an empty plastic bag with marijuana residue. "Whatever Trayvon Martin was suspended for had absolutely no bearing on what happened on the night of February 26," he said. Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, said, "The only comment that I have right now is that they've killed my son and now they're trying to kill his reputation."
Gee, just like the family "demonized" Zimmerman these past couple weeks.
White Hispanics are inherently racist and have a penchant for hate crimes, Jack. I'm surprised you didn't know that.

Was the $325 how much the hooker cost that laughed at your shrunken package?
$325 for a hooker? Who do you think I am, Charlie F@#$%ing Sheen? No, I frequent the under $30 variety, which are just as good, just don't kiss them on the lips.

To any lawyers out there, I am currently seeking representation for my upcoming lawsuit against Coors Brewing company. I recently spilled their product on my genitals and suffered 3rd degree shrinkage for over 72 hours. Tests confirmed that Coor's is the coldest tasting beer on the market and tastes 50% colder than the next coldest tasting beer. Furthermore, unlike my balls, the mountains on the can failed to turn blue and provided no warning that the beverage which would later soak my junk was indeed as cold as the Rocky Mountains. It is my contention that Coors is guilty of gross negligence and that unreasonable cold tastingness and a can defect caused severe mental anguish to the tune of $325.

Apparently, Trayvon looks like Obama's unborn son. GUILTY!

I got a perfect score. I also cheated.

Christ, people. Only to page 3 on this thread? I'm disgusted by the apathy.
I couldn't care less how you feel.

Gallery the offensive lineman is real good. His team just couldn't afford to resign him.

The Bills haven't been in the playoffs this entire century. How's their way of building working for ya' ?? LOL The Bills have been rebuilding for TWENTY years and will continue for another 20. LOL
New England is the model all NFL teams should be copying. They have been a playoff team it seems like FOREVER, maybe even longer!!
I wish the Bills would get a step behind, the Pats were in the superbowl AGAIN! One dropped pass from winning it.
How would you know? Judging by the rest of your post and your understanding of NFL history, you haven't been alive for that long.

Sounds like the offensive line that Brady has been so comfortable behind may be seeing some serious turnover in the near future. And just in time to have to game plan for one of the best DEs in the game and two fine DTs. Light and Waters considering retirement and Mankins undergoing ACL surgery, like Mike stated above. What did Marv say about retirement? Thats not too good of a start to shaking off the post Super Bowl loss hangover.

Oh I know. My degree was Economics concentrating in Finance and it's basically getting me nowhere so far. But, I'm continuing the grind. It just sucks because I like econ/finance so much but so hard for me to get a job dealing with it. I blame my lack of "real" work experience. I played poker in college as a job.
Check out the different professional designations (CFA, CFP, CIMA, CIPM etc. depending on what field you want to get into) and read as much as possible. There's no shortage of books to familiarize yourself with the basics and plenty of online resources to give you the Cliff's notes on whats going on in the market and provide a few talking points for interview fodder (WSJ, seekingalpha, motley fool). You'll be surprised as to how far doing just slightly more than the bare minumum will get you in entry level finance.
A lot of econ/business majors found their "love" of finance by default when they dropped out of the sciences. Knowing anything will go a long way to separating you from the guy who wants to be a fund manager because Mechanical Engineering was too much work.

Maybe not presidential material, but if I were elected President I'd certainly like to have her on my staff...
Better wrap it up, cause when that one gets pregnant she stays pregnant.

They're not mutually exclusive. You can't talk about credit market failure without discussing why systemic freezing in those markets occured... why did the credit markets fail? Was it because compaines who make up those markets have massive devalued assets on theie balance sheets? The point I am making is disruption is said "financial markets" were an effect of institutional practices.... It is the reason AIG, BOFA, Citigroup got huge influxes of capital through stock purchase so credit markets did not freeze... the point this whole argument is that TARP was a bank bailout so certain firms would not fail... my contention is if they to let fail, other banks and other finacial compaines would have picked up the pieces of those bigger firms and credit markets would have recovered. My stance on it is these too big to fail firms bring the global financial market to the brink, and skid out on the other side with alot of tax payers help... Ideology? certain companies ware continually protected and are so big they can bring finance to a hault.. how is that free enterprise, that sounds like financial terrorism....
But that is the problem, isn't it? In a true capitalist economy, there is a consequence with not valueing risk approriately.... like issuing defaults swaps for more than you could even pay out, or secutitizing high risk loans when chances are you knew alot of those loans would default... but did people care since they knew is it ever came down to it, they would not be left to fail?
Thank you for the well thought-out example. Do you believe, in your opinion, that a lesson was learned?
Clearly we disagree on the magnitude of the situation which would have transpired if AIG, Merrill and Bear were allowed to fail. I'm less concerned with whether or not Wall Street learned anything from this debacle as long as our government, rating agencies and regulatory bodies learned the appropriate lessons.

Why shouldn't they have? Why do American Taxpayers have to subsidize the poor decisions of others? I guess we'll just line up the next time the financial markets crash because financial intitutions do whatever they want, essentially risk free....
Great point. Western civilization should have been allowed to collapse because AIG, Goldman, Bear, Lehman and company failed to model risk appropriately. Tax payers would have been much better off had the global economy failed in an event which would have made the so called Great Recession (which was already pretty miserable for the average tax payer) look like a picnic, than having the tax dollars which they already paid directed toward preserving their way of life.

But that happens everyday, to all sort of business, in many different sectors. Companies overextend, roll out bad products, etc. and they have to do the layoffs, which hurts familes, that kills grandma etc- then they enter protection and decide if they can survive, be purchased or liquidate....
I mean I suppose the are times when emergency capital is warranted, natural disaster, terrosit attack, etc... but risky behvior at the hands of people probably knew better, no.
So our capital markets and entire system of credit should have been forced into bankruptcy to either restructure or cease to exist? I like the way you think. I'm sure corporate America and by extension the global economy would have had only minor growing pains transitioning to a zero credit environment.

Like I said, look up irony. Not sure how its possible, but it appears that I've over-estimated you.
Sorry DiN, you try but Conner is just too damn good.
