    What? Are you referring to yourself or just spewing more of your nonsensical dribble? Tell me, RCG, why is it that everyone seems to wind up in a personal debate with you? Is it you character flaws or does it run from deeper psychological problems as we suspect?

    Really? Honestly? Then if you do, why don't you just scale up and retire? Why be a nurse at all?

    LOL, probably shouldnt encourage him to do that... I have a couple of systems where i win on 95% of the days, then a couple tmies a year you blow out a month or 2 worth or earnings for that particular system....

    Hes probably doing some kind of averaging down thinking he has the holy grail, but hes too goddamn stupid to understand the draw downs that will inevitably come, and hes a margin call waiting to happen... His trading plan probably consists of "You cant lose money if you dont realize a loss"

    You really are delusional. Liberals are fighting for their lives in this election. Just like the election two years ago.

    "Summary

    Rooted in poor self-esteem
    Lying for many reasons, or no reason at all
    Not officially a mental disorder
    Suggests deeper psychological problems

    Almost everyone has encountered a pathological liar—the type of person who in one conversation claims to have dined with the Queen of England, danced back-up for Madonna, and dived with great white sharks. The problem for pathological liars is that their attempts to impress often backfire.

    Instead of getting the love and attention they seek, they usually earn scorn and ridicule. A habit of lying can quickly ruin a person’s reputation and interfere with his ability to establish meaningful relationships.

    We all lie, in many different ways, many times a day—mainly to avoid hurting ourselves or others. Experts believe that children figure out by the age of 4 that they can mislead others with lies. But what makes a person leap from social- or self-defense lying to habitual, compulsive lying?

    Why they lie

    Some psychologists theorize that a chronic liar is trying to deceive herself as much as she is trying to deceive others. Because of poor self-esteem, she wants to believe her lies, and often does believe them, at least while she’s telling them.

    Some of the hallmarks of pathological liars include telling outrageously dramatic stories, telling fibs that are easily disputed, changing stories when challenged and, most importantly, lying even when there’s no apparent benefit in telling the lie. Compulsive liars lie for many reasons, including no reason at all, but most often they lie to:

    feel admired
    gain popularity
    control and manipulate
    compensate for feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem
    cover up failures

    Although not officially designated as a mental disorder, pathological lying is often seen as the tip of the iceberg for deeper psychological problems including narcissistic personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Narcissists, for example, constantly fear being revealed as frauds and, thus, weave ever-increasing lies to bolster their fragile self-esteem. People with antisocial personality disorder do not experience guilt and, therefore, lying becomes an easy option.

    One psychologist came up with the term “double consciousness” to describe the ability of a habitual liar to carry 2 stories in his head at any time: the real story and the desired one. Some simply get addicted to the instant gratification associated with telling the desired, ego-boosting lie.

    Other research indicates that many pathological liars have a neurological imbalance: Their verbal skills are high, but there’s a slight impairment in the frontal lobes, the part of the brain that censors speech. It has also been reported that children with such brain disorders as autism have a hard time lying successfully, further making a case for a physical connection.

    Often, pathological lying masks problems related to childhood, including trauma, neglect, lack of attention, lack of guidance or failure by parents to set realistic limits. Some researchers suggest that pathological liars often have parents who are pathological liars and that lying was part of the family dynamics...."

  8. quite simply
    If you ARE the problem you probably can't SEE the problem.

  9. perhaps you do test well but:
    Statistics that I've posted (and you have been impotent to counter) PROVE that it's a bad bet that you test particularly high in IQ.
