You sound like one of the callous individuals who has no regard for human life. If the parents paid $20,000 or more for this pool, then God Dammnmmmmn it, there should be a rudimentary safety device, meaning that it should be physically IMPOSSIBLE for anyone to get trapped by the suction. Further, if it were me, I would have done what Read More

I was thinking the same thing. When you're young, it's really hard to figure out where all those old people came from. They're so different than normal people (your age) the only possible explanation seems to be that they were dropped on the planet in exactly the condition you see them now.
Obviously, I don't mean that in a literal Read More

. . . if you doubt this take a walk over to the national archives the next time you are in DC and look at the line of people waiting to get in to see the quite faded and barely visible original documents (the declaration of independence, the constitution and the bill of rights) and the sense of awe and wonder that every person, from Read More

Many Nazis were devout Christians, and Hitler himself said "By resisting the Jews, I do the Lord's work" (this Read More

"it isn't a lack of fuel that is holding back the recovery--it is a lack of willing drivers"
Our economy ( 70%) is dependent on consumerism, and consumerism was inflated by levels of personal debt over the previous decade. When the needs of the average person are met and paid for in full, our economy reflects that as a flat line. Personal Read More

As an ethic-Chinese myself, I have to say, nothing about this article is true. The Chinese community, as a whole worldwide, is a heterogeneous group. To define 'Chinese mothers' as inclusive of Koreans and Ghanaians is just ridiculous. Calling your children 'garbage'? Not letting them go to the bathroom? What is wrong with this author? Read More

Many years ago i stupidly invested in one NYSE company based upon financial reports. The financials were great, i talked to the CFO on the phone. Then poof. They disappeared. The SEC said the $13 million in the bank did not exist. They did not own the assets listed. The sales were falsified. I called the CFO. The line was disconnected.

You are delusional. The suspect was not on a watch list. And, so far, there is no evidence of links to al Quaeda. Nor is TSA in charge of security at foreign airports. Nutty people with alarmist fantasies like you do nothing to help the situation."the largest attack in our history occurred" "Oh let's all be afraid! It's the Read More

Gary, Indiana is located extremely close to Chicago. For some Merc and Board of Trade trades the commute would be quicker than their present commute. It would also be relatively easy to move many of the back office jobs across the border. Illinois, beware. The traders are not bluffing.This remark is bordering on lunacy.
You can either Read More

One point not mentioned in the article is that the Chinese business culture seems to approve fleecing the foreigner.
I cannot say that Chinese firms are crooked, but I can say that every American that I know who has done business with the Chinese has found a different standard of ethics than we would expect from an American firm and Read More
