In all fairness someone who's first language is not UK English couldn't really be expected to get that one first time round. I was only take the Wii after all. :laugh:
Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.
I thought it was a good one, and duly noted that Red didn't get it...

Yes, I was quite astonished at the stupidity of their choices and mentioned it to the cop.
I have had numerous conversations with victims of property crime and they all sound the same: "They took my CDs, but not my Best Buy gift card! Idiots!". Of course, the real idiot is the person that is missing their CDs, and the victim knows this.

Who cares if there's a criminal out there? As long as you get your money! Forget about who else may be victimized or hurt by a burgular, as long as you get your check, right?

Oh no, of course not, you were not upset in the least at getting ripped off for seven grand.

Too bad you hadn't bought the guns before you got robbed, so that the thief could have taken those too! Funny how you have a delusion that a gun would have solved your problem. Or are you afraid you'll be such a safe and comfortable sleeper that your wife will have to wake you up by shooting off a couple of rounds? You're hilarious, oh of course you're not worried or upset, you are just going out to buy some guns, everybody does that when they're bored. I am sorry you got robbed, honestly, it is very stressful and can worry you for your safety. However, you deserve it, so I am conflicted. :confused:

That is pretty harsh... noone deserves to be robbed/beaten/raped/threatened/whatever, regardless of whether you agree with their political and personal choices or not...

I got robbed. :( Some dirty leftist hippies snuck into by back door and took about $7,000 in electronics and cash while I and (fortunately) my wife were out. How do I know they were "dirty leftist hippies", you ask? Because while they stopped to swipe a 5-year old XBox, they passed on fairly expensive watches, jewelry, financial statements and check books sitting in plain view. They also broke a high definition projector by ripping it from its mount instead of gently unscrewing it. Only dirty, leftist hippies could be that stupid.

What were the rent-a-cops who guard your ultra safe gated community doing? Weren't you just telling us how safe it was and that was why, ultra right winger that you are, you didn't need a gun? I'd feel sorrier for you if you hadn't turned this into your usual political troll. -- modified at 23:20 Friday 28th September, 2007 -- modified at 23:34 Friday 28th September, 2007

Maybe you should attend some counseling, to help you get over the feeling of being a victim. Then you wouldn't need to try to make others feel worthless. I can tell you this, unlike you I still have everything I had when I got up yesterday! Have fun filling out paperwork and investigating strange noises for the next few days!
You are a classless idiot. *spit*

Dude don't assume that everyone else shares your infatuation with Red. Here is the video, it is their Amateur astronomy public outreach type video for September. http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/videos/whatsup/whatsup20070911/

Haha. Hardly. :rolleyes: You two go at it like school kids. But anyways...that's not important.

Are you seriously positing that there is no one who knows the answer to these questions, like risk is magic? Taking on risk is a service that can be exchanged for currency. The amount of currency is set by the market. This is known as value. Ask Red how much his premiums were, that's how much the risk was worth. It's what the whole insurance industry is based on.

I know that - I'm a quant analyst for one of the world's largest investment banks. It's my job to price risk. I asked you, rather seriously, what's the market price of risk and how is it determined. Let's start off simply. What's your definition of risk? After you've tackled that one maybe you can tell me how much of which currency buys you (or covers you for) x amount of risk. Is it different for different currencies? Which market is the risk market? Where do I go to trade risk? NYMEX? COMEX? NYSE? Does the insurance industry trade risk on the open market to find their price? If so, which market do they trade on? What's the current price? What's a copula and what does it have to do with insurance?

Yeah, I realized after I sent the reply that I had typed pit bull. I think the article I read specifically mentioned the breed of the dogs, but that really isn't important. I had a pit bull for a pet growing up and they are great dogs. What is more common is people that get "guard" dogs keeping them alone outside and then deprive them of pack contact turning them into an animal that is more likely to bite.
This blanket smells like ham
Yep, I agree with ya. These two are very social creatures. Neither of which would do well alone. Plus, the way I look at it, the best guard dog is inside the house instead of outside.
This statement was never false.

Then why did you ask me? Are you just looking to show off your shiny financial job or what? (no one cares)
73Zeppelin wrote:

Let's just go with the dictionary definition of risk: exposure to the chance of injury or loss. After you've tackled that one maybe you can tell me how much of which currency buys you (or covers you for) x amount of risk. I am exhausted from going to dictionary.com, but I will see if I have a little energy left over. I pay $130/month for car isurance. While I am not about to go through my policy for an argument on the internet, it covers a finite amount of risk, depending on circumstances. Why am I explaining this to you? Anyway, moving on...

What does this have to do with anything? Red lives in Texas, we use dollars here.

What?

Oh, I get it now. Accepting risk is a service, not a good. I thought you were the expert :confused: I am not sure what the rest of your post is about, I am not an industry insider. Have fun at work today!

I think Red does. He's an asshole, not just someone I don't agree with. And being harsh on the internet, isn't that a little silly to worry about? Don't cry, Red, everything will be OK.
