As long as we can sink whalers and corporate ships dumping toxic waste in the ocean I’m hip. No capture. No prisoners. No mercy. Just sink them. Everyone else, we just take they shiznit.
I think it’s more a matter of chosing your industries and your companies right now, not just blindly investing in tech sector like it was in the 90s. That means people have to work to make their money grow and they are not choosing to do the work. Thus their money is shrinking and thus they are claiming it’s an aweful bear market!
I know I’ve taken a wash on a few stocks because I screwed up on my homework. But it was not the market’s fault, it was my fault for believing the wrong set of data. I’ve also made a killing on some WAG stocks (Wild Assed Guesses).
Yea, well, now you see why I re-enlisted, CC. Easier working days, less responsibility, much better benefits, a lot less stress, longer life expectancy….
Ah well…I hear teaching’s a breeze compared to being a senior project manager…
The term “Palestine” was invented by the Romans as a means to dishonor the Jews, because they hated them. They wanted to file the Jews and the Arabs together in a land called “Palestine” instead of Israel. So really, the “Palestinians” are just Jordanian Arabs that have lived in the region since the great dispersion and, in my opinion, have no rightful claim to the land whatsoever. Now let’s get back to the topic, unusual stuff.
You’re quite right, dabaron. “Palestine” was what Emperor Hadrian named Judea (omdern day Israel) after the second revlot against Rome in 135 CE. It came from the extinct nation of the Philistines. Hadrian hoepd that by naming Judea and all its cities after extinct nations, he could eventually make the Jews extinct. He failed.
