Then you should poll how many feel that way contrary to what major business magazines say. If you get an even amount in your side, then the thread will be balanced. That is only fair. This does not mean you are not making money. But flaunting your wealth in front of others misery is morbid to say the least.
What? I don't care about any poll. And I don't "flaunt" wealth. This is a good news thread....
In fact, the market turned out just fine after a volatile week. It started off with a global stock sell-off but at the close of business yesterday the indexes were in much better health than predicted. The DOW was UP .9%...

Yes...that is true....but a lot of members disagree. So do the business magazines and news. This is a forum not a blog space. If you want to present only your side of view...I suggest start your blog.
Yes. What you think about the economy is more important then how it really is.
Please don't say that... :bugeye:

I could withdraw my statement if we only want one side of view in a thread on economy....in a subforum of Economy....let the MOD decide. I have no problem with that.
Hey- I get warned for answering direct-to-me questions about God in the religion forum. I get mocked/threatened/infracted for disagreeing with global hot air in the global hot air threads. What you and others are doing is trolling. You drop bombs in this thread and you know it. If I say dark, you say light. If I say go, you say stop. Sometimes I think you just like to argue.
maybe you wouldn't get warned if you didn't attack people and repeatly say falsehoods
She actually doesn't attack people, not initially. Or at least from what I've seen. The pattern has been sandy says something that seems ridiculous or annoying to xyz, and then xyz responds by attacking both the point that sandy made and sandy personally. And then of course, sandy responds in kind.
the wrong ideas in the wrong hands can be dangerous
true
She just make herself sound like she doesn't have a clue....

Absolutely not. Rewarding or excusing intellectual misbehavior has wider negative consequences. We are in the throes of a global war of ideas that will determine nothing less than the fate of humanity. Sandy ascribes to an exceptionalist world view that is under fire from many directions for valid reasons.
Beyond the superficialities of personal attack and labeling, when we have the rare opportunity to penetrate to the core issues, there should no quarter for sick ideology that is perpetuating a cycle of oppression and violence. Robert Kennedy put it like this: "Those who make peaceful change impossible make violent change inevitable." I know of no deep thinkers who have told us that peacemaking must always be comfortable, or that peacemaking must be polite. Hard-nosed discourse becomes an unavoidable part of peaceful change, or the equitable progress of mankind, especially when it comes to breaking intrenched dysfunctional ideology.
If we lack the determination to confront and overcome our sociopolitical pathogens; if we lack the resolve to step on the feelings of the little tyrants residing within us all (not only in Sandy) then the struggle of ideas will continue to be manifested in endless, far more horrific cycles of oppression, terror, and war. Exceptionalism and authoritarianism require elaborate, attractive, and deceptive masks for heartless brutality. Sociopaths have feelings too- But feelings bound up in sick illusions must be attacked with prejudice in the war of ideas, if there is to be any hope of breaking the far more painful cycle of oppression and war.
I fervently hope that Sandy, along with all of us clinging to dysfunctional perversions of the Golden Rule get our self-assured feelings badly hurt, to the point of re-evaluating our world view.
