And allow execs to maintain as much of their cash as possible while screwing outside investors... but, no, I think you are right, I dont think it is what caused the great depression. I can tell you that it was a wonderful democractic president that got us out of it quicker...

Haha...nice. I found a re-posting of this over at "freerepublic.com" a "conservative news site". Of course all they are doing is blasting ron jr. as a closet homo and other such stupidity. If I was a republican I would too be ashamed of GW.

I would imagine writing, even at a factual level, is a creative output. Intellige...err...creative people (artists, dancers, actors, etc..) are generally liberal.

I can't even believe we are arguing about insider trading. jjd, the laws were there for a reason, without them people got screwed, they are nescessary to avoid the corp types from beating down on investers. this topic is so absurd it isn't even worth arguing.

It's doubtful that most CEOs hold enough stock to move the market significantly. It is also unlikely that they would liquidate their entire position even if they did. Let's assume for argument's sake that they do. If you know that a)the price of the stock is going down and b) the CEO is liquidating his entire portfolio, that is probably a good sign to sell. If you have this information and don't act upon it, it's your own fault. It's often too late at that point. You know there was a reason they made insider trading illegal in the first place, I'm not sure why all of sudden you would think it's a good idea to open the stock market back up for abuses?

I said nothing regarding the north korean populace, martlet. I'm sure they have a ton of really smart people in that country and their talent goes largely unexploited due to the country they live in.

So all of the NRA people should do prison time because one bad apple killed some people?

The north koreans are dirt poor and frankly don't employee too many intelligent folks as far as I can tell. The chinese, on the other hand, are growing rapidly, have great power dreams and will do whatever it takes to get there. It's obvious they aren't going to grow, get big, and become a peaceful democracy at this point so I am all for eliminating the problem before it starts. I wonder if we have the knowledge of the extent of their nuclear facilities. I'm not so sure a premptive strike to destroy all of their non-conventional capabilities wouldn't be bad idea. Of course, that kind of goes against my thoughts on not isolating the international community

Selling of large blocks of stock will cause it's value to go down. This is pretty simple shit really...

Here is one...

Damn right, I'm even a closet mud-bogger

Scott, could you please point out my post where the gay porn is/was?

Can somebody look above and show me where the gay porn is? Scott, it's actually your post that contained it.

China or north korea? IMHO, china is going to be a *much* bigger problem for us going forward. Ahh...there is another thing I agree with, though it's certainly not something all democrats are against...military buildup. We need to maintain the most powerful military in the world by a BBIIIGG margin. China has manpower, and we need to make it clear that should they start shit we will quickly do our part to fix the world's population problem.

Ahh...I did think of a thing I agree with...China policy. I say fuck being nice to them. Get hardcore on them and make it clear that they need to straighten their act out. Our north korea policy is screwed tho. Clinton made some decent progress and shrub threw it out the window.

Lemme think...you'd have to post some link to a repub party platform link because I am sure there is something in there I agree with...here are the major ones I can think of: taxation: I don't believe in giving the rich a break and shoving a stick up the ass of the middle and lower classes. gay marriage: quit worrying about impinging on gay rights, you homophobic assholes abortion: it's the woman's choice, not some stody 70 year old repbulican's campaign finance: I believe in big changes here. Most of them (mcacin notably) dont since big business contributes heavily and it's always been easier for the Rs to raise money than the Ds gun control: this has been discussed enough environment: I choose to believe 95% of the scientific community over the republican propoganda machine. I believe we also need to lead global climate change not claim we'll change when the 3rd world does. foreign policy: i believe alienating our allies is idiotic church n' state: i think the constituion is pretty clearly on this. no school prayer, no faith based crap, thank you death penalty: no state sponsered killing in a civilized society, thank you. corporate/political coziness: this has more to do with our corrput administration, not a republican party platform. I'm sure there are more...

Hmm...looks like my post doesn't have porn, and it never did. Ya know, it's funny but martlet's site posted the exact article from the "world tribune" just before you did. And somehow martlet must have been watching this board with an eagle eye to update his picture so quick. The funny thing is actually have some people believing fat_teddy and martlet aren't one in the same.

Do you wanta pack for just bc skiing? if not, you cuold probably get something more versitile. what does it cost?

But fatteddy, why do you care what somebody does with martlet's picture?

what days ya thinking? Looks like the whole week might actually be good??? I think I'm gonna try to get in a multiday trip somewhere just to take advantage of the several days off in a row. you thinking of a speicifc route?

I AM MARTLETFATTEDDY HERE ME ROAR!

libertarian, you mean? or did you mean repub? the repubs hardly defend insider trading last time I checked, but who knows...?

Fattass, you realized all the intelligence conservatives on this board left you long ago? OK, go ahead...post your john kerry insult again..
