  • Yahoo "appears" to.....?????? Go to Yahoo right now and try to post a possitive remark about the Occupy movement! See for yourself! Or can't you handle the truth? We live in a police state, shhhhhh! Don't tell anybody!

  • Exactly what Patriot4238 said. I support it but you have to understand how computer math algorithms work... Again a false mis-match... Yahoo fixed the problem. End of story... Now back to the protests and ramafications...

  • DON'T FREAK OUT AND SCREAM "CONSPIRACY!!!"

    I got the exact same error message last week when trying to email a school homework assignment from my yahoo "junk" email address to my main Gmail address to be printed off. The assignment was in biology and totally unrelated to OWS.

    Sometimes email servers occasionally flub up.

    We don't borrow from other countries? Are you stupid? China and Taiwan alone own more than 1 trillion dollars worth of Tbonds and all other foreign nation combined own close to 3.5 billion dollars in tbonds...

    Thats about 25% of all of our debt...

  • We don't borrow from other countries? Are you stupid? Here is a graph that shows the over 3 trillion dollars in US treasury bonds owned by foreign nations.

    google: "how many tbills does china own" and click on the first link from respected news source The

    Guardian to see the over 3 trillion dollars in t bills which are owned by foreign nations, a trillion of which are owned by China and Taiwan alone.

    Try learning at least the basics of economics before you go internet professing...

  • Wow, they are really keeping this on the down low...Post on everything you can.

  • i am getting that too. wtf?

  • @marinello6

    BTW, dude, do you have ANY idea what a "treasury bond" is? Try Googling it. We don't "borrow" from other countries, we sell US treasury bonds...(mostly to private citizens and investors) which is currently the safest place you could POSSIBLY put your money in this economy.

    Furthermore, "borrowing money" is the only way to get money flowing INTO a country during a recession. This was one of the hard lessons we learned in the Depression.
