<0> values are not bad right now
<2> Hello, FreeMrkts.
<0> there not california
<3> hopefully the next time I move, it'll be with a toe tag attached
<4> :o
<1> I should move out of Berkeley, but should doesnt mean I will.
<5> Iraq was a mistake..the real threat was coming from Iran all along
<1> Ded, Well Im not considering selling till my kids are finished with college which could be anywhere from 5 - 15 years.
<0> Johan have you looked at a map where iraq is ?
<3> Free, about the only thing I'd consider doing now is adding on an additional room
<1> Depending on whether they go get a Bachelors or more. and whether my son goes or not. I hope he goes but Hes still young.
<5> Expert to Congress: Iran Wants Us Dominated or Dead' - WASHINGTON -- Michael A. Ledeen, a former consultant to the National Security Council and to the U.S. State and Defense Departments delivered scathing testimony on Iran to the House Committee on International Relations this week, citing his fear "that the obsession with the nuclear question often obscures the central policy issue: That the Islamic Republic has waged war against us
<1> Ded Yep.
<3> and I want to get this place paid off as soon as possible
<1> IM going to rent to a graduate student or visiting scholar (One room)
<6> Johan} most people don't care
<1> Im going to requires UCB ID
<1> I dotn want a con job moving in
<7> FM: how about an enchange student from Sweden named gretchen? ya?
<3> its in a good neighborhood, generally speaking with a big lot, not much traffic
<1> I feel more confortable if they are in later years of college its like prescreening in a way.
<5> Should The US Bomb Iran? : http://newsmax.com/poll/iran/?s=lh
<3> Johan}, you want the short answer or the long one?
<1> Also they are more serious about study.. and so they dont care to party
<1> Hey MrRod!
<7> WASHINGTON (AP) -- It has the face of a rat and the tail of a skinny squirrel -- and scientists say this creature discovered living in central Laos is pretty special: It's a species believed to have been extinct for 11 million years.
<5> byll: I think they'll be forced to care by the end of this mouth
<2> FreeMrkts: My wife had a very successful meeting today concerning getting into her PhD program. There is a very good chance she will be accepted.
<7> "All rise for Mr Rod"...
<5> deadgrrl: short one
<8> FreeMrkts: Hey.
<1> Lupine damn..
<5> DeDannan : short one
<7> FT: so much for all the doom and gloom of "lost" species..
<3> Johan}, no
<1> Yaak, Give her my congrats!
<2> FreeMrkts: I will, but I will wait until she actually hears that she's in! :)
<1> Lupine old species die new species emerge... *sigh*
<5> DeDannan: Should the US let israel do the bombing ?
<1> Yaak, Wise advice!
<3> Johan}, no
<8> FreeMrkts: There was a commentary in the Economist this week that you would like.
<3> bombing Iran to compromise their nuclear program is impractical at best, idiotic at worst
<1> MrRod, hmm Ill check it out.
<1> what was it entitled ?
<5> DeDannan: How should the US deal with this huge threat ?
<8> FreeMrkts: It was near the front. Basicly, it compared isolationism (in the US and in Europe) to Marxism.
<1> MrRod, Interesting.
<1> I shall read it.
<3> Johan}, well..considering that defense and intelligence experts put a timeline of 5-10 years on Iran actually developing a nuclear weapon...I'd say there's time for a variety of approaches
<8> FreeMrkts: It also go into how the real reason politicians are against the Dubai port deal had more to do with the fact that they get money and give favors to American companies and unions. Foreign ownership hurts that arrangement.
<1> Much of life is counterintuitive. Protectionism isnt. And When you jump out of an airplane to learn parachuting, intuition says hold on hard and dont jump, when to learn you have to let go and jump ;)
<8> FreeMrkts: Have you ever jumped out of an airplane? ;)
<9> of course!
<1> MrRod, I thing sometimes the capitalists on the other side of the pond at the economist dont quite undeerstand americans.
<9> it is a hurdle that every human should overcome!
<1> I think it was pure demogoguery which had as much to do with Joe Blow as it did Corporation donator CDF
<9> I thing?
<8> FreeMrkts: It got into the zenophobia factor too. But everyone already knows about that.
<3> my father-in-law was Airborne..made dozens of jumps...
<1> Just like remember when they were taking sledgehammers to a toyota or something in front of GM ?
<3> personally, unless the planes on fire or about to crash...I'll keep my seat :)
<9> "like'?
<1> When instead they should of been designing a better car, (Which eventually they did)....
<8> FreeMrkts: I'd agree with them that there's more to it than just zenophobia.
<1> Whjy not start designing a better car in the begginning..
<1> Or as soon as you realize the market is shifting
<8> xenophobia?
<1> Xenophobia..
<5> DeDannan: West wants two-week deadline for Iran to stop nuclear fuel work : http://www.iranfocus.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=6192 <--There is no way that the US is going to let this situation go on for years
<9> my first jump that I did with a friend...it was such a ****ty plane that he calmed th whole situatin by saying "I can't wait to get OUT of this Cessna Caravan!"
<1> I do too, I think there were a convergence of MANY motives, I think Xenophbia was one and not entirely unreasonable but after we get held up by a black person we have to remind ourselves as long as it takes that not all blacks rob...
<1> I think some of that was involved in the initial instant reaction.
<3> Johan}, war fever is hard to control, I agree
<1> We have to remind ourselves we have arab enemies and we have arab allies.
<2> The world is at least 80% lies.
<9> I digress
<5> DeDannan: Bush is a "war president". War is good for the economy.
<1> Yaak, In which context ?
<8> FreeMrkts: It's racial profiling.
<9> War is bad for humanity
<1> Peoples stereotpyes ?
<1> Yeah I agree.
<10> war is a necessary evil
<9> money has no time for humanity
<3> Johan}, war is good for an economy sometime...other times its not...
<1> Understandable doesnt mean we dont have a duty to still look a man or a country in the eye and judge it based on what is is right now.. Not what the neighbor is who looks like it.
<9> humans that worship money are evil and are doomed to hell
<3> check out economic data from the wars in Korea and Vietnam...
<1> Whether its race, religion, nationalism, *** or whatever.
<3> both less than stellar times for the economy
<10> nobody worships money, but try life without it
<1> Zenabi, I dont know, I dont have enough money to think about worshiping it.
<1> bmc haha
<1> good point
<2> FreeMrkts: In general. Some lies are blatant, some are self-deceit--but lying is essential to survival as the world is constituted.
<5> Do you agree that Bush's god is oil ?
<9> bmc: try sharing it
<8> FreeMrkts: I don't worship money. But I like to collect it.
<1> Yaak, Right but you believe I presume we must alwasy attempt to seek the truth, correct ?
<3> Trappist Monks do without money...they seem to live quite well
<3> and to a ripe old age, as a matter of fact
<9> bmc: do you tithe?
<10> sure if youre ready to go live in a mud hut and eat grubs and sprigs, go for it
<9> bmc: do you tithe?
<10> i dunno, do I?
<2> FreeMrkts: Well, "truth" is illusory. In any case, I believe truth is ALWAYS inconvenient and NEVER simple.
<1> Being human is to make ***ociations, Being intelligent humans is learning what is a honest ***ociation and one is dishonest.
<9> i rest my case
<1> Yeah I cant argue with that.
<3> heh, they live quite well..no mud huts, grubs or sprigs...
<2> FreeMrkts: I think that purity is the enemy of truth, and honest people are usually reviled by EVERYONE.
<10> no, your case hasnt been presented
<5> DeDannan: Westerners are conditioned from a very young age to worship money and material possession above everything else
<10> im still working on the definition of tithe
<3> Johan}, some are..
<3> not all
<1> Well I have to go, later all.
<10> its not a verb
<9> bmc: if you did it, you would know about it
<10> you cant
<5> DeDannan: Monks are conditioned to believe that desire = suffering
<10> you cant "do" it
<10> its not an action
<3> Johan}, which monks?
<10> A tenth; the tenth part of anything;
<8> Johan}: Do you worship money and material possessions?
<10> tithe
<5> DeDannan: buddhist
<9> "Although she left the church officially, she still tithes"
<5> mrr: Yes I do
<3> Johan}, not all monks are buddhist
<9> not a verb?
<8> Johan}: I don't.
<9> my God, where are you from?
<11> hey
<10> im checking the dictionary
<10> and i dont see it as a verb
<11> We are from France.
<9> :) what dictionary?
<10> Tithe \Tithe\, n. [OE. tithe, tethe, properly an adj., tenth, AS. te['o]?a the tenth; akin to ti['e]n, t?n, t[=e]n, ten, G. zehnte, adj., tenth, n., a tithe, Icel. t[imac]und the tenth; tithe, Goth. ta['i]hunda tenth. See {Ten}, and cf. {Tenth}, {Teind}.]
<11> I washed my car today - it was filthy
<9> Bear in mind, we are speaking English....not
