Reply to Can Markets Be Moral? in World Trade Issues JoeUser Forums

As far as I'm concerned, I feel that markets can be moral if they choose to be. Interpreting Maslow's hierarchy of needs, only after one provides for one's basic needs can one then question one's motivations to do so. Markets can be moral after progessing to a level of self-sufficiency; they then obtain the navel-gazing abilities that we see in the developed world. "The savage punishments and casual indignities of two centuri

Can Markets Be Moral? in World Trade Issues JoeUser Forums

Can markets really be "moral?" Can they function with morals or must ethics be imposed from outside? Discuss.

When will Bush see that the time has come to admit failure and allow the people of Iraq to settle their internal disputes? I wanted to build a deck in back of my house. I knew I wasn't a carpenter but I decided to try anyway. I got halfway through the project and decided I was in over my head. I just aban

Dr. Guy says above that Lieberman is no moderate, but compared to the rest of the Democrats in the congress, he's a friggin' righty himself. Colbert referred to Lieberman as "my favorite Republican".

Reply to Repeatedly blogging on Bush is sure sign of FAILURE in Politics JoeUser Forums

You'd be blogging about Bush heavily, too, if you had 4,995 copies left of the 5,000 copies you had printed on the subject of "why Bush sucks" to unload. Give the poor guy a break! His publisher is a buy one/print one order service. So OUR Author (caps retained for clarity) hopefully doesn't have 5,000 cop

Reply to Leiberman Victory Could Spell Beginning of DNC Implosion in Politics JoeUser Forums

But won't Lieberman's presence on the ballot split the Dem (or heck, the Republican also) voting? I mean, Ross Perot's presence on the '92 ballot resulted in a Clinton plurality, and splitting the Minnesota '98 gubernatorial ballot resulted in four years of Jesse Ventura.

Reply to How do you use credit? in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

I use credit cards to create as much revolving debt as I can. I often use one to make payments on another. All grocery purchases are made with my credit cards. I only pay the minimum monthly payment due. When I see something I like, like a pair of shoes, or a yacht, or a one of a kind ruby, I just buy it, no second thoughts.

I loved the McKinney entourage of New Black Panthers shouting that Israel and Zionists caused her defeat. They then turned on the crowd and shouted racist, anti-Semitic remarks and shoving the audience members.

Reply to Israel - Enemy of the World in Politics JoeUser Forums

Here's something I was saving, but it's very appropriate for this discussion. In his Farewell Address, George Washington warned against being intimately involved in the affairs of another nation: ...a passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betra

Reply to Israel - Enemy of the World in Politics JoeUser Forums

The most obvious, the most simple alternative is for America to withdraw its support from Israel: political, economic, and military. In the immortal words of Paul Reiser, "Neeeeevvver gonna happen, my friend." Not only do we have the most Jewish people outside of Israel itself, they carry a lot of political

Sadly, I know exactly where Hereford is and what a desolate hole it is. So you expect you'll be there a while, since you're putting down axles? Be thankful you're not in Bisbee. I lived there for a summer... You know how it's built on the two walls of a canyon? I lived on the "cockroach side of the canyon". Better than the other side of the canyon, which apparently was the SCORPION side.

The government's printing presses work every day making American $100 bills. The bills have red and blue fibers woven into the fabric. Watermarks and security ribbons are painstakingly put into the paper. Ink is pressed onto the paper by huge intaglio presses, cut exactly to size, and bundled for distribution around the world. And the government making those US $1
