Aaaand Greenspan ***** us again!Follow

Stock market going through the floor again due to "overnight global economic collapse spurred by Greenspan testamony"

Enjoy the ride...

But he admitted he "may" have made "partial" mistakes! What do you people WANT?

Your catch phrase is "LET IT FALL", Shadowrelm. Get it right.

Well I'll be damned, Shadowrelm's computer does have the ability to write things in caps.

Protip: Sentences should start with capital letters.

Insight? Atlas Shrugged and the Fountainhead are both works of fiction. They are fairy tales.

The money in my mattress gets warmer and warmer every day.

If anything it's the exact opposite. Lenders are heightening the requirements so as not to accrue *more* bad debt. I suggest you check your credit score. Wouldn't be surprised to see a drop of 40 or more points. Mine did, and all I did was increase the amount I was paying on my CC balances.

I am aware they are both fiction. I offered it as insight as far as what socialism promotes in people.

insight ( ) n. The capacity to discern the true nature of a situation; penetration. The act or outcome of grasping the inward or hidden nature of.

However, if you are interested in Ayn Rand non fiction, try Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal or The Virtue of Selfishness.



Yes, objectivism is very dangerous to the philosophy our government tries to instill in the masses through public education. Glad to see you would never challenge a proffesor, student, or candidate. Keep eating what they feed you and don't pay attention to what's going on around you.



Is this sarcasm? What do you know about ethics?

I see how your mind is working. But you forget what an investment is:

Definition of investment (noun) form plural: investments expenditure of money or effort for future benefits

I can see how you would read this as putting it under your mattress so the peasants can't get to it. But, when rich people invest their money, they typically invest it in research, business expansion, education (certifications, job safety education), etc. When the average Joe "invests" his money, he invests it a new Dale Ernhardt jacket, spinning hubcaps, speakers for his car/truck, etc. Investments move us forward, increased consumption depletes resources and offers no incentive for efficiency.

Politicians do not have it right. Some call themselves Democrat, some call themselves Republican. They are both wrong. But keep cheering them on. I would like to be proven wrong and have Obama get elected and he takes all the money from the rich and gives it to the poor, and the rich become slaves to the poor people for always being so rich and mean. And the poor people become smarter and the rich people become dumber, and eventually everyone is equally smart and equally rich (or equally poor, depends on how you look at the glass). If the polls are accurate, we will find out in about 4 years.

What a stupid fucking dichotomy



"Objectivism" is considered a goddamn laughingstock because it's an unworkable and ethically repugnant system that most highschool students should be capable of recognizing as such.



Quite a bit you doofus. I'm a bit rusty on some of them but I've studied Nicomachean, Virtue, Utilitarian, Deontological, Subjective, Cultural, Pragmatic, Divine Command, Egoistic, and Humanistic ethical systems. Have you?

What's ethically repugnant about absolute truth? Or saying that one exists.

Relativism is repugnant, it has no core, its like a jellyfish.

Ayn Rand has as much to do with objectivism as the pope does with God. There may be some obvious overlap but there's no need to ever consider a single thing she says from an objectivist view point.

Moral Relativism is the most Abhorrent philosophy on the planet. self defeating doesn't begin to describe it.

I don't get it. I would agree with most of your post minus the last line, Obama was part of lawsuit in the '90s suing Citibank for not giving out enough loans.

Obama also took a lot of money from Freddie/Fannie to keep regulations lax over the last 4 years. He's a large part of the problem and a far cry from the solution.

agreed. obama isnt any better than any other politician. but obama does represent the democratic party.

and it is the democratic party that will spend your tax dollars on creating new jobs weather they are socialistic government jobs or in the private sector. it is the dems who will give some relief to the largest chunk of our economy, the low and middle income workers.

by default, it is the dems who will inject the most of our tax dollars DIRECTLY back into the economy and the market. as opposed to the republicans who felt your tax dollars were better off in oil companie tax breaks to the tune of 14 billion a year.

so yes, the answer is obama.

not because he is some super star, or any better than mccain, bush, or any other politician. but solely because he represents the party that can actually help us move ahead.

and by that, you repubs can take from it, it doesnt really matter who or what obama is. as long as he is not republican. so waste your time calling him a muslim, a terrorist, an illegal alien, whatever. just done call him a republican, thats pretty much what his supporters are driving at.

obama doesnt matter. what he represents does. we want republicans out of office for their **** poor performance and damage they have caused us. it doesnt matter which home bred lieing money grabbing vermin won the dem nomination, he is in, you are out.
