All new childish low. I thought about not posting the forums and chat room research that I helped with, but you guys may just learn something from it. When he gets done with the analysis, I may just post individual evaluations.
My ex wife is much like RCG. A compulsive pathological liar. Frequently lying about things that aren't even worth lying about in the first place. I think it's some sort of personality disorder.
Ah, what the heck. It might be fun to see how close the objective reports from initial research is, and how much of a torrent of bad language and name calling transpires. There are about 30 more pages of information, but here is the initial review from about 2 months ago about some of the posters here. PM comments welcome, we would love to have a follow up for the next semester. "Here is a much shortened review for a college course attended by my younger brother. He asked me for some help with a project about the current state of the political debates, especially the right left fissure we have currently. I asked a couple of friends for some ideas about websites that have debates. I went to several, and then, because I like trading, decided to try this one out. What a mess, I have to say. I'm sure my brother will have more than enough data to show just how screwed up Americans have become, or at least a small group of supposed traders and debaters. I even made a couple of posts to see if there were any people actually debating anything, or if this is just another talking points nightmare, shared by so many sites. Much to my chagrin, this is worse than most, so very hostile and juvenile. The name calling alone is just plain boring. However, because his grades were involved, he asked me to work with him to try to understand a few of the players. We came up with some of the following. No personal attacks meant, since you are all hiding behind screen names. Our fascination came when there was about 7 pages of back and forth using such childish language, that we chose to not include in the thesis. The Zimmerman charged with 2nd degree murder thread, with Trader666 and Two faced joker. This was absolutely amazing. I didn't bother with two faced joker, only because his time was short during our examination. After learning how to search under names, he came up with some this: Excuse him if some of the references were mis- labeled or duplicated. Side bar about the laziness and predictability of so many posters. Many use the same old reply to their counter parts. Something about gay, something about dicks, or panties, just odd. Lucrum: A private pilot were told, quite honorable, who must be non-married, living alone. Is full of hatred of women, and apparently a fear or hatred for blacks. Several notations to back this up, including saying that perhaps women shouldn't be allowed to vote, and too many 13 year old sex references to mention. Seems to have a negative comment on everything, strictly along partisan lines. He has a following of Pspr, and a couple of others. They all seem to chime in to support whatever the winds seem to be blowing currently. Much more in notes. RCG Trader: A counter to Lucrum, who is apparently a Male Nurse, and a veteran. It seems that he is the counterpart to Lucrum, without which, Lucrum would not have someone to express his daily rants. RCG seems to be a left type person, but his saving grace is that he doesn't seem to stoop to all the sup-par name calling, although at times, he has. Apparently he has other threads on the site as well. Probably a forex trader part time. PeiltheTraveler: Another of the initiators of controversy. He likes to express an opinion with the hopes of getting some support, not discussion. A guy who is relatively smart, compared to many on this board. We believe he lives in a foreign land, yet does not get any grief for it. We may be wrong, did not read too many of his posts. 377OHM; One of the more intelligent of the right wing side, who does seem to cloak his anti-social thought behind some fair and sometimes even valid arguments. We both wonder why he, who seems to be pretty smart, is so vocal in support of the more lower class of the participants. By lower class, we mean vulgar and without any merit other than to repeat what others say. PsPr: His handle pretty much says it all, he is without any real contribution, yet another fired up name caller, who does as he is told by someone else. Again, this is just a couple of hours of reviewing a couple hundred posts. He seems to be hung up on something about making cute little names from other's handles. Rather funny for someone using pisspoor as his handle. Another weird hangup about Canada for some reason, found that odd and simply irrelevant. MaxEPad: Another smart poster, seems well educated and mostly benign. He doesn't seem to have to use all the stupid language on every post, like the more juvenile guys do. Has some great posts, good responses, and although he seems devoted to his views, posts them coherently and well. However, does follow the group that likes to make funny names of other's aliases. Too bad, pretty sharp otherwise.. AK-47: A relatively sane poster, who likes to screw with the other side at times. Again, he doesn't seem to lash out much, and doesn't resort to the name calling. We found several good discussions, only to have to shut them down due to childish responses. Brass: The subject of pspr's anger, and again, without Brass, pspr wouldn't have anyone to lash out at. Another weird paradigm. Apparently Brass is Canadian, and seems to like to get involved in discussion from Religion to Politics, as the thread is titled. He doesn't seem to sink to the depths of depravity very often either. We're not supporting anyone here, but I'm sure there will be some backlash to anything we say. Who cares where a person lives anyway. This was supposed to be a trading forum. PhoenixTrader: This person is just a non-event. Never says anything of value. His sole purpose is to seek some sort of affirmation or validation just by going along with someone's else's rant. Just a go along, yes man. The Rodney Dangerfield of the group. Scatagophagus This guy is a piece of work, comes out of the woodwork with just plain craziness. One thing to hate Obama, as many of us tend to do, but he is obsessed with hatred, always with scorn. He must live a very bad life. Might have to research a bit more on this one. Again, one of the smarter ones, just seems so sad or mad all the time. Jem: Smart guy, with a very personal view of politics and religion. Especially religion. He and Stu will hopefully work it all out in the next life. Stu: See above. Free Thinker: As his name seems to imply. He likes to pull strings on the other side, starting discussion that knows will cause some furor or another. A good manipulator in his own right. He seems to combat the right with some pretty good rhetoric, and seems to document his thought fairly. Ishopat Publix: Another of the smarter ones, very opinionated, but seems to use his strengths to debate well. Again, a leftie for sure, but not wild eyed or puppet like as some are. Interim Summary: It seems that we have more on the right who tend to be more upset, more likely to use foul language and retorts instead of simple discussions. We did not find this to be the case in several other forums, they were more balanced, good arguments instead of name calling. We'll get to some more people, and more detailed analysis, and hopefully have more from other sites as well. Again, not trying to bug anyone, just a younger man's school project. "
Very similar experience here. One of the most beautiful women that I've known couldn't tell the truth about what she had for breakfast. She literally was incapable of being truthful even about the smallest things. I put up with it for an unreasonable length of time because she was so freaking attractive but eventually reached my limit. We were off and on for years. She even tried to come around years later after she had married and I was engaged to someone else. Got me in huge trouble and nearly wrecked my shit.
The obvious answer for me would become a male nurse. If I had to be a nurse,Specifically I would choose Nursing anesthetist. Had I known about it years ago I probably would not have turned down admission to nursing school. At the time I learned about this career choice I was already making their median salary being self employed so it made no sense to change careers to it or even med school. Just like everything the govt touches it eventually turns to shit and that's my assessment of the medical professions trajectory. Trading is much less certain but the upside potential makes it a logical choice at this point.
Although the vast majority of Allied Health workers are reflexively democrat, no one will be upset if something happens to Obamacare. This will never get reported, and we almost have to be quiet about it, but Obamacare will put a remarkable strain on an already stressed system. We don't know what will happen going forward, but for the masses, it will not be very good, either way.
A lot of otherwise relatively competent people vote democrat because it's easy and whispers sweet nothings into voters ears. I prefer the "eat what you kill" mentality, that's a libertarian view if you are in doubt. republicans have been the "light socialist party" for all of my adult life and the revolution of that sad state is underway. Libertarians will wrest control of the republican party from the inside with the a$$hats like mcvain kicking and screaming all the way. The democrat party has morphed into the new communist party, if they have their way the American exceptionalism experiment will be over.
