You're a fucking idiot, you know that?

Personally, I want to see the Cheney tracker app. See where he's been, where he currently is, and where he's going later tonight, and in the future.

"Anagrams for "United States of America": Neofascism Attitude Era, Me See Faustian Dictator, Satanic Federates, I'm Out"

Do you seriously believe that ?

Try to live in the real world. I do think that indeed, you live in a dream world, under dictators, however, bush is not your dictator.

Iran will not attack its neighbors or the U.S.

"woman being battered" in a few of the middle eastern countries

If only more of /. thought this way we could have an army

woman being battered" in a few of the middle eastern countries. Sure, I think its wrong, like anyone. But that's *my* belief, not necessarily theirs.

This whole worship of cultural relativism makes me sick. How can it be anything but unacceptable that people are beaten and horribly discriminated against just because they happen to be a female? My god people. The intellectual dishonesty is just amazing.
Oh, and woman aren't just "battered".

Iranians and international community expressed outrage at reported execution of the 16-year-old Ateqeh Rajabi on vague charges of un-Islamic behaviour.
However, informed sources revealed that Ms. Ateqeh was sentenced to death by the judge, a cleric, because during the "trial", she expressed outrage at the misogyny and injustice in the Islamic Republic and its Islam-based judicial system.

"The lower court judge was so incensed by her protestations that he personally put the noose around her neck after his decision had been upheld by the Supreme Court", the sources reported.

Plenty of pictures. They string her up using a standard construction crane and leave her their hanging for everyone to see.

Friday 27 August 2004 in the Germany-based internet newspaper Iran Emrooz, Dr. Hoseyn Baqer Zadeh, an Iranian human rights activist observed that the laws of the Islamic Republic are the "most inhuman, segregationist, insulting and discriminatory" against women.

Interesting that you call my refer to my argument as a "rational axiomatic argument" but later as faith. Rational argument requires axiomatic foundation. Futher the axioms which I base my argument on have been proven time and time again through econometric analysis. You claim that I follow some sort of faith leading me to believe that speculative markets result in efficent pricing, but you offer no evidence to the contrary.

I'll defend Enron the day that you defend Dahmer. The executives of Enron commited a crime plain and simple, this does not mean that capitalist systems are fatally flawed no more than serial killers mean that humanity is.

When did Israel threaten this? I assume it was a long time ago, since google shows that Israel was estimated to have at most 20 nukes until the early 80s. The estimate has since been revised to >100. My search also turned up this gem I seriously doubt Israel would follow through on this threat. Especially given Israel's latest posturing, attempting to completely isolate itself from the rest of the mideast. OTOH the threat of terror attacks on oil production facilities is real and has already been fulfilled.

My point with the tariffs (which admittedly was not well made) was that a marginal scaling of a supposedly optimal system of tariffs would necessarily result in a system no worse than the original because both countries would symmetrically benefit. But when scaled to zero the new system would have to be better due to the d in transaction costs.

"I do not like large public stock corporations" Thats a shocker :). My reference to communism was meant as an analogy not an epithet. Your reference to the IMF impels me to trolling: I think the IMF is a good organization.
