  3. Cutaway probably has a better rating bc of the characters. At least in cutaway a speed star doesn't take 6 minutes to form.....

  5. This is what sucks, that the regulators turn a blind eye, again, to the wolves of Wall Street and to the banks. And all of us sheep get fleeced (or eaten) again. Bingo. If you live in that world there are ways to "win" but for the normal guy/girl.... bend over, here comes another. It's kind of like our food.... nobody really knows what's in it.

  6. I did likewise in the film, and even more while reading the book. One thing I am still researching is the collateral issue with CDSs. These are apparently analogous to margin calls on stock options. There is a situation in the book involving them that is hilarious, and really should have been in the film. Hell, I wish the film had been done as a mini-series so it could have included more of the book. Welcome to my former world... F'd up! It is all happening again by the way. The film is right about that. There are tighter restrictions but they loosen by the day. It's pretty scary.

  7. So people shouldn't be allowed to support any religions at all, huh? MB is not about faith at all! Nor is Scientology. Yet your government rolled over and played dead when confronted by them. And....not a peep from the population. Agreed! MB is the next step though. THey have an agenda far more sinister than Scientology. Both evil in my mind though.

  9. No. Simply - NO. People should have the freedom to support whatever religion they want, ONLY if it never hurts any other individual, or infringes on another individual's human rights. This. MB is not simply supporting the right of following faith. Their agenda is not an agenda of faith at all.

  11. There is an influence that is pro MB but it is not the BO admin doing it. That is an unfairly cast net. This is coming from the right and the left. G. Norquist is an example on the right.

  13. It has been awhile since I saw "Inside Job", but it seems like there is material in it that IJ didn't cover, such as how the institutions were fraudulently keeping the price of the mortgage-backed bonds up (while the mortgages were collapsing) in order to keep from paying out on the CDOs. I also don't recall IJ explaining "synthetic CDOs". I must hand it to the film editors: It is really fast-paced! You never have a chance to get bored. The movie is excellent. For a very long time I was a part of that world and this film nails what was going on. I kick myself every day that I did not dig deeper during that time and realize the plays I could have made. Things are different now but they are also the same. CDO's (different name now) are being used again and subprime is coming back. We never learn. The key part of the film was revealing the ratings agencies and how much they are in bed with the big institutions. Even the right short took a lot of capital to weather serious losses bc of the corrupt system. Back then you had housing crashing but the inverse indexes did not move bc of the ratings agencies. Even with the education factor, the film is really well done and very entertaining. Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.

  15. The issue with a third party is that the deadlines for most of the state requirements are just after the conventions. Anyone that wants to run as a third party will basically have to join a party that has already managed to get on the ballots in most of the states like the Green, Libertarian or they need to be working on building the grass roots now to get the signatures for every state. At this point none of those parties are willing to accept a known, failed Republican in as their candidate since it goes against their parties ideals. There is no way the Libertarians will let any of the moderate GOP'ers in since none of them were pitching a platform close to what they are looking for. There is a tiny chance that Sanders could run on a Socialist/Communist ticket but that is not going to happen. What I am curious of is the downstream effect of this nomination cycle. Are you going to have more people coming out and challenging the incumbents if they do not openly back Trump if he gets the nomination during this election cycle? We last saw this during the Tea Partys rise a few years ago, during the primaries the more moderate candidates were losing since the more vocal members of the party, which are the ones more likely to vote in a primary, pushed the "outsider" in. This was mainly done in states with closed primaries where crossing party lines is not permitted. At the election due to Gerrymandering a lot of the competition was already over since the districts were "safe". Many of these people including Cruz have been finding it hard to get anything done in DC since its a game of horse trading and they see compromise as the worst thing possible. For the left they have been having their own issues where Sanders has been forcing Hillary to move her policies more to the left and away from the centrist view she was trying to walk. this is going to cost her some of the crossover vote with moderates on the right side. This is also going potentially cause a lot of those voters to just not vote this year since they are looking a giant douche and a turd sandwich as their choices. I did see comments today online calling Rubio, Kasich, Boener, Paul Ryan, and even FOX News RINO's because they were willing to talk to democrats and were unable to accomplish 100% of the agenda that is being pushed. Fox was being called out for attacking a popular candidate and not spending all of their time trying to bury Hillary. Politics are getting even more depressing than normal right now. There is also the constitution party. It's something like that. Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.

  16. let's see, career politicians, driven more by social agendas instead of fiscal thriftiness - sure..... tax and spend, borrow and spend I'm not seeing the opposites Bernie's polar opposite was Ron Paul Rubio is not a career politician Bernie is. Rubio is not driven by social agendas either. Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.

  17. Trump supporters are foaming at the mouth morons for the most part. It's ironic that they hate the GOP "establishment yet now they are begging for them to back Trump. Cruz cannot mathmatically beat Trump either. What was lost yesterday is that Cruz got destroyed. The only hope is the convention if Trump does not get to 1237 and if he is pretty close then I guarantee Kasich will jump on board. There has to be a big enough gap that Cruz and Rubio can combine their delegates for the win. That means Cruz will really have to rack them up. Kasich is doing his best to help Trump.

  19. that's funny for two huge reasons that I am sure you are aware of: 1) Bernie never had a chance of winning 2) Polar opposites.

  21. I tend to agree. However, we are finding that there are a lot of racists & bigots out there. And more will come out of the woodwork in the general election. ***Leave it to the GOP to F it up Then why doesn't the GOP just kick Trump out of the party? I really do not know if they can; but it would solve the problem for the more middle-of-the-road people. IMO there are a number of potential GOP candidates that are hoping that Trump cannot secure enough delegates and to throw into a convention decision. JEB, Romney, Kasich, Rubio, et al. Jerry Baumchen Great question. He is not a conservative. I think there is a good chance you will see a conservtive 3rd party run. The thought that Hillary will beat Trump anyway makes this decision easy. This would also hopfully mitigate the damage Trump does to the down ballot. I also was going to say I think the GOP needs to consider Obama's SCOTUS appointment but the guy he put up is very anti 2nd Amend. so thats out the window. As a result the SCOTUS will now flip liberal. Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.

  22. That's a lot of people with significant hatred, racism and bigotry. A lot of people who have no problem singling out people purely based on religion. It's a lot of people with a very scary way of thinking; one that has led to significant atrocities in history. I agree and not diminishing that at all. Just saying its not a lot of people in a general. I also refuse to believe all Trump supporters can be classified this way. I think thats a stretch. I know one Trump supporter and he is not a racist at all. He is simple ill informed and will not take the time to really understand what Trump is. He is not a bad guy but is the "perfect trump supporter". He is a white male in his early 40's that lives in a rural area with no HS diploma. Rhetoric can be powerful to low education voters just like liberal rhetoric can be powerful to low information voters.

  23. Everyone needs to calm down a bit. The generalizations are over the top. Trump has consistently captured 34% of the GOP primary vote. A lot of his votes also come from low education dems in open primaries. 34% of primary votes equates to around 3%-5% of general election voters. Trump will get crushed in a general and the polls already show it. He has hardly been attacked and the MSM has pushed him 24/7. If he gets the nod... that all changes. Also, there are conservatives like me, I have voted in every election since I turned 18 and I will NEVER vote for Trump. I may even vote for Hillary's criminal ass bc I will take status quo over Trump's crazy. My decision is not that uncommon at all hence the #NeverTrump movement that is a conservative movement. There was a reason the dems feared Rubio... he is a conservative that the middle listens to and would have walked away with the election. Leave it to the GOP to F it up though. Kasich could have won as well but thats bc he is really a liberal conservative. The two that Hillary will beat? Cruz & Kasich. Cruz might have a shot but I do not think much of one..... Trump will get crushed and I for one will be happy to help that happen and laugh my ass off at the idiots that support him. Everything about him is a scam. If you are a Trump supporter then I suggest you actually look at what he supports and you will find the answer to be nothing. He is a man with no principals that cares only about himself.

  24. I do not think Kasich will win Michigan and Ohio but maybe Ohio. The sad thing is that he stays in even with an Ohio only win which is a joke. I am voting for himin Ohio to stop Trump but am second guessing myself as of late. Cruz has no path after this weekend. His states are done and he is a very hard sell in a general. I cannot and will not vote for any ticket with Trump on it and will be very disappointed in a ticket with Cruz at the top. This country really is going down the crapper with Hillary on one side and Trump/Cruz on the other.
