Ilíon wrote: 'Kyle' (whoever that is; I've never been totally sure on that point) By my understanding, he's a troll who posted in the lounge for a while. Insignificant overall (but then, very few people are) It's probably someone who's lurked around for a long time and decided that he doesn't like you. Either that or someone testing to see how the loss of anonymity affects people's behaviour on the Internet

John Carson wrote: And these ratings agencies have such high credibility. I mean, they all warned us about all those toxic assets. Didn't they? The fact that any of them are still in business is a sad reflection on the market. I think it's obvious that the "issuer pays" model is obsolete. So is the originate and distribute model, for that matter.

Richard A. Abbott wrote: keeping up with what the voting public want And what does the voting public want? A voting public that wants socialism and hedonism should have it. But there should also be an alternative that once the consequencies of socialism and hedonism become ever more obvious to ever more people, is also available for them to vote for. What you are really arguing for is the abandonment of those alternatives so that the only possible alternative is ever more socialism and hedonism. Well, sorry, but you aren't going to get it. Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

That's gotta hurt.

Its bullshit, it is a slanderous article. I don't believe in lizard people who control the world, or shadows lurking around me. It is like calling a gun owner a nut. What is your IQ? ENDGAME[^]

Bob&Tom TV (Greg Morton): Obama Man Can[^] I've never heard of Greg Morton before, but I'm glad I came across this one ... I mean, some of the other clips of him are really funny. modified on Friday, May 22, 2009 10:08 AM

A degree in biology? And you are now a Web Developer? Sorry, I don't think this counts as expertise...

Ilíon wrote: He's not talking about the ad; he's talking about the mindset which allows the ad to be effective with certain people. He is, in fact, talking about the same thing you were[^]. Sorry, I supposed that I had missed some other point. But the entire liberal leftist marketing plan is based on the premise that they are better people; and that if you become one of them, you too will be a better person. Aside from the MasterCard advert, then. I doubt that approach would work. Identifying a class as "better people" merely breeds resentment among those that are not of that class. Some may seek to become "better people" by adopting the behaviour of that class, but if they find that behaviour at odds with their personality, they will either lapse or become resentful. (Think of a regular guy having to sit through opera rather than go to the match.) So if that is the liberal leftist marketing plan, then it is probably doomed. Environmental fascism it will have to be, then. Bob Emmett

I know, the Hitler card is as played out as the race card. Another thing we can thank dems for. But I can't help it, that shoe fits toooooooo well. And I did rather enjoy your analysis of his speech. It was an inappropriate place to drop the card, but I get so tired of hearing how he's about to break it off in the tax payers ass and dump on every patriot that fought, bled and died for what this country stood for, but he sure gives purdy speeches. Even FNC is all over that band wagon. Every time I hear anything like that now, bile wells up in my throat and Hitler speeches come immediately to mind. So sorry, I wasn't venting at you, just venting. Visit BoneSoft.com for code generation tools (XML & XSD -> C#, VB, etc...) and some free developer tools as well.

But then, you're a fool and a liar.

Oh, I *get* what you were saying; I've heard that joke often enough.
