    I do not know who volpunter is other than having read through a few posts he placed. I have never come across anything that would indicate he is into children. Care to point us to those posts you are referring to? He posted quality content in the technical forums which I appreciate because I am a quant trader and deal with technology and trading issues on the algorithmic side. He seems (seemed?) quite outspoken on Israel and Jews but so what? I can only repeat, I find it preposterous to attack those who use the term "Jew" when the US is pretty much run by Jews in media, film production, politics, lobbyism, corporate board rooms,...it is not a surprise that many influential and powerful Americans support Israel, after all it is the country they hailed from before they arrived in the US. But it is ironic to shoot the messenger who points out that the establishment is actually by majority Jewish in the United States, the very same establishment Trump proclaimed he is fighting against.

  2. Fair enough but why are you lecturing me on "Jews"? I never said anything about that to you. I never said you were against "Jews".

    You are not a "quant trader" and you don't solve "trading issues". You dust off desktop computers and keep them clean for the real traders. You are just an hourly paid tech grunt who copies and pastes Java or C# code.

    Your main challenge during the day is making sure the Asian Traders don't download too much porn and clog up the bandwidth.

    You are the only Male in the history of Islam that has been asked to wear a Hijab because you are such a fucking ugly creep.

    My Brit Slang is not that good but in the UK they call you a "tosser" or a "wanker"? Do they call you both a tosser and wanker Zzzz1???

    Why is it that everyone hates you in all sections of Elite Trader Zzzz1? It is as if your mission in life is the be the #1 Troll.

    You failed your country Zzzz1, now go drink a warm beer.

    you started attacking me left and right when I bought up one of the many reasons why only in your country people have to take off their stinky shoes before they board an aircraft and you fucked it up for the rest of us in that people cannot even bring a drink through carry on baggage checks worldwide and have to follow the ridiculous procedures of having to place tooth paste and other liquid items in transparent bags. Thank God we can again bring lighters onto aircraft. I brought up the example of unfettered American support for Israel which did in fact violate agreements and conventions and committed crimes in the Middle East and that such one-sided support carries with it retribution by those who were and are victims of Israel's sometimes questionable policies. It was one of the many examples why your country is less safe than ever, less safe than before 9/11, in a way terrorism has already long won against the United States, people in your country are more fearful of everything than ever. You call that a free country? In Hong Kong people can go out at night, women can walk down a dark allay at night without having to be afraid to be shot, molested, raped, disturbed by drunkards, and other unpleasantness.

    If anything is fake news then it is that hitting ISIS hard will bring back freedom. It is one of the fattest lies that are out there. Not that you have another choice, but alienating people, nations, and whole cultures has never brought peace and freedom. Cooperation, tolerance, and acceptance has, however. Another fake news is that American involvement across the globe is to promote freedom and peace. So far that has rarely been the case. Most of the time it was out of a self serving need to secure commodities, power, and control. Guess what, most people do not appreciate having them cheated off of their belongings. Payback is a bitch.

    No need to reply as I will not further engage with someone who launches one personal attack after another. Most every claim and statement by you about me, personally, is factually incorrect and lends you zero credibility.

  4. HAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAH!!!!!!

    I call you a "tosser" and you launch into a speech about "9/11". Then you launch into a lecture about how great Hong Kong is? I thought Germany was the place to be, now Hong Kong takes the number one spot???? You are a terrible travel agent.

    You are a terrible quant. You suck as a technologist and you make a really really really bad travel agent. You are a useless troll and no one on this website or any website likes you. Your coworkers hate you. The women of Hong Kong hate you also.


    You are a certified nut job. I actually would feel sorry for you if you were not such a wanker.

  6. Be sure to ask yourself the same question.

    As for my assessment, consider Trump's entire history and ask yourself if a 70-year-old who has been thin-skinned egomaniac his entire life will suddenly and magically change. Hint: He prefers the attention of staging "thank you" rallies rather than attending intelligence briefings. What does that tell you?

  7. Excuse me to interrupt. But I think that intelligence briefings by themselves do not mean too much if we go by the last 8 years...:D

    Agree, Trump will likely not develop some sort of maturing personality now that he is in office. However, I recall Obama spending a lot of time doing talk shows and late night TV, playing the rock star, too after his victory. In both cases, it's hard for you and I to know what time he spends in briefings.

    He's a complete troll. What's more, is when someone challenges him on a topic, he immediately responds by accusing his challenger of all sorts of things never said, and when caught on it, attempts to obfuscate by switching the topic to anything irrelevant he can latch on to in the misguided attempt at drawing attention away from his (numerous) errors.
