  2. Crawling huh? I have a very close friend in the Marines that happens to be chinese. They are very inteliigent people and tough as nails. So keep your ignorant, racist comments to yourself. Everyone on Wall Street that work for firms like Goldman think they're hot shiit. Regardless of race.

  3. knowing better? Better than what? I didn't get the memo that "oriental" was a bad term or invalid designation. And if I had, I would have ignored it.

  5. I am always concerned when someone calls himself a trader but still allows himself to use a broad brush to label mankind. It is sad to see that many guys here, who are exposed to many markets and tons of global info, still feel that they can say a group of people is intelligent/dumb or whatever. Humans are individuals. The link is cultural rather than by race or color. :confused:

  6. you're concerned that someone who "calls himself a trader" still allows himself to blah blah blah?

    the link is cultural rather than race or color? So, members of a race don't share culture?

    you are confused. very. you should think for yourself instead of parrotting whatever's floating around in the pc "thoughtbook."

  8. I yield to you undivided, unbounded wisdom and knowledge. I don't get my thoughts from a "thought-book" (or is that my brain). I get them from experience. I speak 6 languages, have lived in over 8 countries and have visited more countries and cultures than the majority of the people on the planet. For that, I consider myself privileged and wish all people had the same experience.

    Where do you get your global/racial/cultural knowledge? Cancel that... I don't want to know. I don't really care how far you can piss.

    People are fundamentally the same. We are all connected. The difference is knowledge. Get that and then you will realize that we are all the same.

    Thanks and best regards. :)

  9. Yeah.. I guess I give them more credit than I should. They will get their act together or be replaced by some other paper-machine.

  10. This apismo character is following me around on this board, this guy is either gay or just wishes he were a trader. I've been stationed and traveled to over 12 different countries and moved around the world everywhere from Paris to Taiwan, when I was still in school, with my parents This joker probably lives in Mississipi and is married to his sister and lives in some trailerpark. The extent of his global view is confined to his one horse redneck infested town of 200 people. So, in actuality, I really do feel sorry for such a narrow-minded and ignorant person. Then again, there is always the village idiot.
