eddie nobody is hating on america, its about personal responsibility. Its a cornerstone of american values. The majority of the blame for the current crisis goes to americans. Everybody. The reason is that everybody wanted cheap credit, bigger houses, cheap goods, and everybody wanted tobe rich quick. Tearning down rules from mergers to credit rules, and creating new business models that didnt work. If you dont look in the mirror and say I screwed up, your going to make the same mistakes over and over again. Less then 3 years after the .com bubble you got the housing bubble, then the credit bubble, and learning nothing from the great depression. if americans dont take the reigns of responsiblity, and fix up their mess, its going to happen again. The foundations of an economy arent built on bubbles.
Why am I not surprised that you won't take a stand on an obviously racist comment that it sure looks like you've been defending? You did mention the comment here BTW so don't pretend the discussion wasn't about it... that just makes you look like a coward. Go hump someone else's leg. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2384743#post2384743
Honestly, why would I begin accusing somebody of racism? I could care less if people are racists. I rarely accuse anyone of anything - why would I? It leads to nothing, as this thread only confirms. What do you gain from him or I "admitting" he is? Nothing but a minor ego boost. I was never defending him. As I said, I exclusively commented upon the definition that you promoted.
Of course you are dishonest phony idiot and racist. When I use example from real life (remember Chicago South Side) you call it "stupid theoretical construct", I understand what else can you say? You have no freaking argument! Of course you wouldn't move into a black neighborhood to "enjoy cheap living". Would you move to a black neighborhood (like Chicago's SS) to save money on housing? Yes or no?
Okay, I admit I messed up the economy. I shouldn't of did it but I couldn't help myself. Are you happy now?
Look cesspool... you made this statement before I called you on it... so tell us why it's not racist or admit that it is and I'll be happy to tear down your stupid neighborhood argument. What I'm not going to do is let you slime out of this by shifting the focus to me instead. So answer my question or STFU. Let's vote for a black guy because we all know how well blacks (generally speaking) can manage their affairs. The whole Africa is kind of testimony for that.
Then why not comment on what he said? Do you think this is a racist statement or not? Let's vote for a black guy because we all know how well blacks (generally speaking) can manage their affairs. The whole Africa is kind of testimony for that.
