Well, more recently... Have you seen Speed Racer? I mean the movie was ok, little kiddie, but Ricci... I don't know why exactly, but wow...

So he’s in charge of a bank - many people are but you are not yet he’s the clown?
I wonder, have you been watching the news? Have you seen that Bernanke almost lost his job as Chairman? All of the political pressure put on him, all of the dealings that have been going on? The fact that so many people are out of work right now, especially in California? The bailouts? This is why he's a clown, especially in Austrian circles.

No it was you that said he, was see first quote, unless you are claiming to be the second most intelligent man in the world?
Again, you were comparing me to him on a scale of inteligence, when this is only the second time I've ever had a conversation with you. You're making prejudicial claims against me, and I dislike that very much. It's not a very fair claim at all. And to defend myself, I am making a few observations of my own, and a logical deduction: because he's arguably the most powerful man in the world, you're basing intelligence on power. If that were true, then he's the most intelligent man in the world, and you and I are not intelligent at all. See your first quote: "as for bernanka being a clown, he seems to be a might more successful than you, this would imply that he has more intelligence." What a pure prejudicial statement. How sad.

now from what he has achieved and what you have a achieved I can reasonably assume that he is smarter than you, but you disagree fine that is your right, maybe I am not as smart as you who knows! but that does not mean that mine is an invalid assumption.
You mean, you can reasonably he's smarter than both of us. And again, that is totally assumption. And yes, it is probably invalid. Think about it. Maybe he just got lucky. All he is in the end is an economist. It's a different field. You're a developer. Are you saying you weren't smart enough to be an economist instead? That's your own call; to each his own.

No, I'm just pointing it out because you said, without a great argument, that Bernanke was smarter than I. That was pretty low, even if you d

No I am basing his intelligence on his position compared to his peers, he is by position one of the top of his professions, you however are not, this would imply that he was more successful then you, now yes this is not a "proof positive" way of judging intelligence it is certainly a valid way of doing so. I am also judging it oh the peception of your Intelligence as shown on here, now again this is not error free but would suggest a trend. Yes you may be his equal if you had choosen his profession, however should this have been the case you prove not to be his equal though demonstration of poor choice. You claim prejudicial, whilst I claim that you have an opinion of yourself that has not been supported, you were and are the one claiming that he is the most powerfull man on the planet and this makes him the most intellligent (not something I Have claimed) yet you cannot explain who such a man got to such a position, you fail to acknowledge his qualification and his position against his peers, this man has reached a hight only achieved by a small % of people in his choosen profession, or are you claiming that you would be the equal of all succesfull people if only you had choosen a different profession? You also claim that a footballer is valid to quote because he feels something yet I CANNOT WITH REGARDS TO YOU? mmm there maybe a name for that!

It's actually not that bad. Sure, it's a kiddie movie, but it's a LITTLE more intelligent. The ending sequence is actually really good... Keep in mind, the Wachowski brothers directed it... Ya know, the Matrix guys...

No, that is a terrible argument. Just because I'm employed at the age of 25 doesn't mean I have less intelligence than someone toward the top of the crew. All it means is that I'm working for that crew. Honestly I've been thinking of starting a business of my own, once I have paid down my debts. Does student debt mean that I have less intelligence? I think your logic is flawed. There may be a correlation, but it is not cause/effect. Therefore this statistical analysis of yours is invalid. Strike two, try again. You're really hurting your own argument by trying to cause me pain here.

A) I have an opinion that is open-minded, while you're the one comparing me to Bernanke. If you compare me to him, then you have to compare yourself to him and I as well. That's all I'm saying. And it seems that your unwilling to do so, therefore I suggest you cut it out. B) You're the one that originally claimed that he is more intelligent than I, and that is unfair, and you know it.

The sense of entitlement that Americans are so proud of puts a bit of fear into them over anyone who might be able to take their stuff, even if they willingly enter into the contract that says they can do that. Little banks are really exempt from that, they're just more likely to be intimidated.

OK well we will try again, Bernanke registered a sats score of 1590, he has a BA from Harvard and a PH D from MIT Bernanke taught at the Stanford Graduate School of Business from 1979 until 1985, was a visiting professor at New York University and went on to become a tenured professor at Princeton University in the Department of Economics. He chaired that department from 1996 until September 2002, when he went on public service leave. He resigned his position at Princeton July 1, 2005. now please state your claim! I will judge ye by your words and yet you think I should credit you with Intelligence I have yet to see.

I'm not claiming a damned thing! I'm asking that you keep an open mind! All you're doing is DISCREDITING me, without cause! I don't care what you think, or whether you credit me or not. I care not what you think. Because apparently, you're comparing me to someone without a reason, STILL! I don't care what he got on a standardized test. I don't care that he went to Princeton. My uncle went to Princeton and I did not. Am I inferior to my uncle? Are you really going to go that low here for no reason at all? I'm on the same message board as you. Are we all more stupid for that very fact? I'm a programmer. Are all programmers inferior to the economist? You tell me to get real. I think we can't get more real than that, if that's what you base all intelligence on.

Basic misunderstanding indeed. Shows that you don't know the difference between Fiat and Hard money. A bank note is not the same as a certificate. Certificates keep the government from printing extra money out of thin air on a whim. Bank notes are just IOUs, and can be printed at any time for any reason, as long as it is "paid back", which it never really is. Notice the public debt. Notice the inflation.

Every time I see a certain quittingest governor putting down our president I realize this. Every time I see this same amazingly ignorant individual basking in being incapable of thinking things through, a hypocrite, or just plain unintellectual I want to choke everyone that prays for the day they can vote for another idiot into office. I will say this on the original matter. I really don't care who thinks whatshisbucket looks like a crook, weasel, vermin, or feminine hygine bag. If we gave headlines to such matters we would have seen a lot of such talk about more former presidents than I can remember. It's not important.

you resort to profanities and claim I have issues lol No we dont have a debate, we a rant by you with no substance I asked you to state your claim after quoting his cv you replied that you dont care what he got in standardised testing this implies that you dont believe in testing, otherwise it would mean that you know you are les intelligence but refuse to admit it. try rereading your posts for rants as for insults, all i orginally said is that based on evidence you are inferior in intelligence to Bernanke, not that your intelligence is substandard, in fact I have only asserted that based on your posts my oppinion of your intelligence is dropping rapidly as for puting words into mouths, one should ensure one is without sin before casting stones ps A point I missed my quote <> your reply (BTW... just because ONE university does a study doesn't make it conclusive that the Fed doesn't do shady deals. Not saying that it's crime per-se, but I'd say that any deals behind closed doors with "government entities" should be considered a problem.) see a problem here? certainly quick to jump to wrong conclusions I think

Do you really want to continue this? I mean, really? Without namecalling from here on out? We can restart this if you really wish. Just give me the nod.
why? all i orginally said was that Bernanke was more sucessfull and likely to be superior in intelligence yet you were calling him the clown, I still say this, you however choose to take this as a mortal insult, so be it I cannot help this and care little. As to the Fed, I have no interest in this as it does not concern me, it is a US thing and not for me to comment on how you run your country
Go away and research the subject, analyze the options for and against, understand the problem and them come back when you agree with me.

This was my reason as to why I'd called him a clown. http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/3360677/Re-CNBC-Colts-player-says-Ben-Bernanke-Looks-Like-.aspx[^] And anyone that is "dissed" or insulted would obviously feel insulted. Yes, he's a smart guy, I'm not denying that. But I'm not saying that "testing is wrong" or whatever you said. I took an independent study in computer graphics. I had a 2.9 grade point average. I got a programming job only four months after getting out of school, and have had it ever since. I was Director of the Year two years ago. I got a 1200 on my SATs. Sure, I don't "measure up" to Bernanke, but I don't appreciate being talked down to by someone I don't know. I don't see you posting your own accomplishments. And as to the Fed, yes, it does effect you. The Fed makes arrangments with governments and companies all over the world. It may not effect you directly and you may not notice it, but yes it does. However I've felt, I've appreciated the conversation. Why? Because I now know how hard it's going to be to get this message out on my show, and how much criticism I'm really going to get, and how much namecalling.

Again why? you seem more than happy not only to talk down to me but to insult me, no you have never asked my accomplishments maybe you should before ranting off, but no you have your opinion and noone can think otherwise, you claim to be open minded but are as closed as css. yes it does affect me indirectly and I will discuss issues in my own country but refuse to comment on the internal politics of another country, I have no say in waht the fed does and thats the bottom line, but from other posters comments and your rants I would think that the Fed was a worthwhile institution in fact from what I can see anything that you and Css are against is worth considering (you two makes excelent black properganderists) as for your show, by all accounts it shouldnt be hard to get your message across as the only people likely to be watching are css clones

Maybe I am talking down to you. But at this point I think I have more than enough reason. As for insulting, I don't remember doing so.

Now this is hypocritical. You did precisely that to me.

We all get closed minded once in awhile, but I really don't think you know what you're talking about here. You don't seem to realize that debating is not supposed to be about personal attacks. When it gets to that level, it gets bad. Why do I feel attacked? Why am I mad in this thread? Because that's what you did, you attacked.

Why are you the ONLY person who has this opinion of me? Ian and Christian don't agree with you (or at least, they haven't said it to my face). I applaud you for having the gall to do so, honestly, no joke. If you can tell me straight to my face, you're an honest person. But really, do I rant? The way I see it, I make a logical argument about everything I talk about. Granted, I do talk about the same thing over and over, but at least you know my position, and I stand my ground. I'd say it's more than a rant. A rant has no backing. I have backing. Every time. And if I see that I'm flawed, I'll concede. I've done it before (even in this thread, when talking to Ian). If you're just going to call me a "black propagandist", you need to wake up a bit. I mean, really.

Yes, because I'm exactly like CSS. Got it. More namecalling. You know, you're really good a

* but calling a game where the use of the foot v ball is an exception rather than a rule is a bit silly, especially when there is already a game of the same name that does use the foot! is this a example of the qualty of thinking of the US people?
I have a theory... I think it's called "football" because the thing they carry around looks more like a foot than a ball... It even has shoelaces! Honestly though, if "football" wants to become a REAL sport, they should invest a little money into buying a ball that's actually round.
