I'm guessing your taking about Stratfor when referring to the hacking incident. If so then I think you over estimate their connection to the govt. They use open source intel, basically the same stuff any news agency could use. Many business and individuals use their reports, it just so happens ...

Well fortunately a lot of the county isn't as bad as flint. My city of Seattle is doing fine. Still it is kind of sad to see, but there is a silver lining. Much like liquidating the bad loans this sort of thing needs to happen so the city can finally right it self in some way. Here's hoping tha...

@2003SCT Well they did of sorts. I believe Teddy Roosevelt used to get his outdoors mans clothing from them because back in the day they were known as the elite outfitter for outdoor wear. Unfortunately the real A&F went bankrupt in the 70s and another company bought the name

Wow sick!

@ju88ff Bill Clinton wasn't even considered a contender at this point of the primary back in 1991. McCain was polling 4th at this time four years ago. Being #1 doesn't necessarily mean anything, rather, a steady climb or hold on the polls is a better indicator. Ron Paul has had both.

Couple the European Bank run with the beginnings of a property crash in China, which will eventually turn into a banking crisis when their local governments default on loans, tough times are coming for the US. As for the Russia missile thing I wouldn't call it pushing back so much as trying to c...

Jesus Demcad, I heard some shrieks in there. If you didn't mention that this was black Friday the atmosphere would have felt like something in a disaster area. I had to go to a Frys electronics on Friday morning at 7 AM for work to purchase some Ethernet cable. It was pretty crowded, but the cr...

@LeathermanFan2 I have some misgivings about him as well. He does tend to hyperbole and at some points almost sounds crazy. Not that he is, as he certainly isn't, but I am a bigger fan of Peter Schiff But I can't fault the guy for putting his money where his mouth is. So he put money in with ...

The depression will most certainly get worse. The eurozone will collapse but also there are the beginnings of a bursting property bubble in China. China is in far worse shape than many people realize they have repeated the Japanese/US mistake but an on much larger scale and coupled with an even m...

As for population decline, demographic trends show that we have neared peak population and by next century may be seeing a population bust. This is a big deal especially that considering our entitlement system is already unsustainable. Moreover we will see a big change in our attitude towards imi...

@plalelal I disagree, the 99% are largely college kids complaining about having to pay loans for worthless degrees from over priced colleges. While I agree with the whole wall street corruption spiel they are shaking their fists at the wrong people. They should be protesting the government and t...

I think the idea that the US will split up into other nations is a bit, apocryphal, the media and politicos trump up relatively minor differences between the regions; however having traveled the country there is a definite identity that does tie the nation together, as opposed to super states lik...

@bigdangerous You mean like go to congress and testify in front of committees or go on the news and say what is going on was unsustainable and cannot continue? Because he did just that and if you don't know that then you haven't been paying attention. Expecting him to quiet his job, which is r...

The wear is normal though I would take care to alternate clips once in a while to ease magazine spring wear, and I try to shoot off my carry ammo at least once every few months and then replace it with fresh ammunition.

@THESK1TZ Doesn't matter if he wasn't disrespecting the dead on purpose or not, he was disrespecting the unknown soldier and every unknown soldier that died in a far off land,frightened, hungry, and away from love ones. The man should count himself lucky that he only recieved a verbal reprimand....

@DEMCAD I'm impressed. I've been meaning to start developing some handiskills, watching that video of you and your friend building that desser made me decide to do a wood project of my own. I'm putting togeher ideas to try and build by own bed frame, hopefully something that won't be too difficu...

I got one, someone chastised me about using the word retarded and said i shouldn't say retarded, i should say 'mentally disabled' or 'special needs' and that is rude to use that word. Saying how would it feel if someone called me retarded. Here's the kicker I was talking about a relative of mine...

@bill81500 I laughed when they all said no to wanting to lower prices. I bet a ton of them love to brag about that sweat vintage jacket they have from the goodwill that was only $ 15.

@TotallyPhotoDude What about the Teapartiers, would you include them in that assessment?

The US only gets 30 million barrels a year from the Libyans, that is what we get from the Saudis in a month. It also isn't noted enough that half of our oil consumption does come from domestic consumption. We are the third largest oil producers in the world, a fact that isn't mentioned often eno...

@robvh2 If this were true then why has every nation, empire, or organized group of people used silver or gold? Fiat currencies have been tried throughout history, allt the way to ancient China, whenever that fiat failed, and it always does, the people have turned to gold. It's worked for the la...

When they asked for side triceps you easily had the best out of the group. They didn't have the separation between the triceps and shoulders like yours nor was their muscle as full.

@TigerghostPictures You are completely ignoring the legislative changes that were made in 1999 and signed into law under Clintons watch that essentially forced banks, though im sure they secretly loved it, to lend to individuals that in the past would not qualify for home loans. What you really ...

@Doug44393 Evidence of hard steroids use by boy builders prior to the 1960s is scant. We know that the Dr. Zeigler developed Dianabol that was approved by the FDA in 1958 for medicinal use and that a 1954 testosterone experiment administered by Dr. Zeigler to body builders had disappointing resu...

@g4macdad

One your claim about FDP putting people back to work for less money is a claim without any supporting evidence. Secondly, entitlements have nothing to do with laziness and everything to do with incentives. It makes no sense to work for a job that makes you less money than unemploymen...

you be a boss man. you be a boss

@faustmanv It isn't banks they are singling out, it is one bank, the Federal Reserve. No bank should ever have the power that the fed has. The banks, and the federal government, are complicit in actions the federal reserve takes because they both stand to benefit. Banks get free low interest l...
