We have alot of soul searching to do in this country. I won't play the blame game, its too banal and besides we're past that. Sadly to say the damage is done. The country is polarized among political lines. I'm fed up with politicians, the media, ivory towered professors, hollywood, actors and actresses with agendas, Global Warming, political correctness, Bose, Al Gore, O'Reilly, socialists, tree huggers, the inept automotive industry, China, India, the middle east, North Korea, American Idol, cheap quality a/v, the Senate, the House, San Francisco, sanctuary cities, Iran, oil, illegal anything, hdmi, lazyness, lying, lack of personal responsibilities, the Oscars, the Emmys, rap, misogyny, disrespect for our country, burning our flag, curtail of speech, mediocrity, medical insurance, airlines, __________________.

Some of you won't remember this as you were too young or weren't born yet, according to the experts (scientists) from the late 60s and early 70s, right now the world should've been a frozen block of ice, no food, smog would've covered the atmosphere by now, sunlight couldn't reach past the smog and bang! end of planet Earth. Or the other popular scenario of the day: OVERPOPULATION (where do you think the premise for the movie Soylent Green came from?) by now the population of the Earth would be about 4 billion souls, all starving because planet Earth can't support such a large population. The old axiom publish or perish hasn't been as popular as it is today, I mean where can you get an Oscar for a fallacious documentary and where can you buy 'carbon footprint offset', my heavens is this what we've become? Are we really this gullible? this dumb? For a nation of self-described skeptics we've become quick to adopt other people's religions wether they're environmental, pseudo-scientific, famous, ________________.

Somebody let me off this merry-go-round.

This is the Steam Vent, and that definitely qualifies as blowing some steam.

I think you may be on to something with putting Bose on the list...something we all can agree on!

S-Man...you need a puppy-upper for that doggy-downer (from SNL of the good ol' days with Chevy, John, Dan, et al) you're on and for this new religion (I share with you)...Pessimism. It all started with Optimism, slowly matured into Stoicism, veered off into Cynicism, and then dove right into the heart of Pessimism.

Some good music...a little lovin'...chat with an old friend...a sip of real peaberry Kona coffee...a newpaper cartoon that's actually funny, and we'll be good as new.

And this from a person who lives in a separatist province in Canada.

Well, duh! That's what the majoritity of Americas' people complain about, too. Everyone wants their own languagge on everything here. Hell, you won't even speak English like the rest of your country, ferchrissake.

Yeah, as long as they play by your rules, right?

Nah, we just take it fron the source.
Come on man... get off your heels.

1. I'm not a separatist. You don't even know what's happening here first of all
2. What the hell is your problem?! You can't even make your own arguments?! You have to take me down on the language I speak?! I'm proud of it!
3. How can you speculate on that?! You don't even know me! I'm not even a selfish person!

Get you eyes off your belly button for a second and take a look around!!! Who's selfish now?!

I don't know if everyone realizes this, but in macro economic terms, the stock market generates no real wealth.

If someone makes a certain amount of money on the stock market, then someone else loses a certain amount of money on the stock market. It's a zero sum game.
I beg to differ.......

I understand the Econ101 "zero sum" statement as an investor and as someone who holds a finance degree, but I think you're missing the point. As a whole....when the market goes up.... the whole gains.
To suggest otherwise isn't entirely correct because the theory is flawed.

Thats because in real life.... it's possible for more than one winner. There isnt a "constant sum" because the market continues to grow.
For "zero sum" to hold true, the market cannot grow in value.

Zero sum is hogwosh.... nothing personal. If anything, it's a socialist theoretical concept, and I understand why colleges continue to include that crap in their lib lesson plans:rolleyes:

Agreed...

Democrats and Republicans will never stop the spending now, they're so entrenched in the lobbying and pork bills that keep running their campaigns. Remember, their goal is to get re-elected, not to serve us. I don't know what will stop it, unless we stop voting for people simply because they have a (D) or an (R) next to their name. I think America is basically begging for some free thinking independents in politics. Unfortunately they never get the money or exposure they'd need to be elected.
I agree - why is it that we are over a year away from an election and our politicians are all working on getting elected? Don't they have a job to do - now? And all the media does is talk about elections, D + R conventions. The whole thing is a waste of our money and their time. Does this bother anybody else? What if instead of doing my job I spent all my time working on finding my next job. They should have to work and have results like the rest of us. Grrr....
 
Don't be ridiculous - performance-based politicians? Next you'll say they should be prosecuted for crimes and stuff... sheesh.

Do they ever work? Watching the endless news coverage of two specific media darling US senators running for prez, it looks like 95% of their current time is either spent at the podium campaigning or jetting around the nation in private jets paid for by our tax dollars. Geesh, with all their global warming alarmist talk going on, you'd think they'd do a better job of practicing what they preach.

All talk/no action.....

A southern country preacher had a teenage son, and it was getting time the boy should give some thought to choosing a profession. Like many young men, the boy didn't really know what he wanted to do, and he didn't seem too concerned about it. One day, while the boy was away at school, his father decided to try an experiment. He went into the boy's room and placed on his study table four objects:- a Bible,- a silver dollar,- a bottle of whiskey and- a Playboy magazine. "I'll just hide behind the door," the old preacher said to himself, "when he comes home from school this afternoon, I'll see which object he picks up. If it's the Bible, he's going to be a preacher like me, and what a blessing that would be! If he picks up the dollar, he's going to be a businessman, and that would be okay too. But if he picks up the bottle, he's going to be a no-good drunkard, and, Lord, what a shame that would be. And worst of all, if he picks up that magazine he's gonna be a skirt-chasin' bum." The old man waited anxiously, and soon heard his son's foot steps as he entered the house whistling and headed for his room. The boy tossed his books on the bed, and as he turned to leave the room he spotted the objects on the table. With curiosity in his eye, he walked over to inspect them. Finally, he picked up the Bible and placed it under his arm. He picked up the silver dollar and dropped it into his pocket. He uncorked the bottle and took a big drink while he admired this month's centerfold. "Lord have mercy." the old preacher disgustedly whispered, "He's gonna be a Congressman!"
