Great randomized. You made $20,000 in 30 years in your 401k. Haha Fund managers are there to beat market returns and risk beta. Passive investing has our earned money managers and hedge funds for the last decade. Seems you know so little for someone who thinks they know a lot. @kingdroid, I’m not a...

huh, didn't really take ssoren for a big trump guy. must've misread something somewhere

I forgot how moronic and evil some people on these forums can be... ugh.

it wasn't so bad until you came back.

Yeah jamie is just taking lessons from Trump. Exaggerate your wording, be vague. It's called negotiating.

Honestly, I thought Croak was the biggest right wing troll these forums could muster, but then i discovered ND, who blows him out of the water.

Croak, I'm sorry for thinking you were the worst. I've seen the light.

An important difference between you two is that you opened to Venice in the spring of 1901, while xorxes opened to Venice in the autumn, presumably because of what he saw on the board (Austria being in Galicia and Rumania and Russia being in Silesia and St. Petersburg). Good observation. His play w...

BONUS RULE: if a player enters Trieste from Venice in '01, he will be banned from the tournament and from the site. Thanks, ghug. Strangely enough, the two solos so far were by Italys that entered Trieste from Venice in '01... Congrats on your solo. That's pretty funny that we both took solos using...

I really hate Trump but I think it's a bit silly how the Dems are attacking Trump over finally making a positive move. He's fine very little positive in his term, but it's kinda like training a dog. Even if he's been bad and tearing up the couch cushions the entire time you've had him, you don't kee...

Yeah, except you didn't say "That's not the democratic will of the people," you said "That's not Democracy." If that's not what you intended to write, fine, but if that's the case maybe you should get some practice putting what's in your head down in writing before you criticise other people's inte...

You're right, America is a republic. Well observed. Right, so Trump getting elected is not "The Democratic will of the people", like I said. So we're in agreement? See, Croak, if you're gonna try for "gotchas" you have to be able to read, or at least have an IQ above 60. Also, "fake votes" come the...

That "Fucked up system" is the reason a person cannot win by stuffing the east and west coasts full of millions of fake votes while entirely neglecting the condescendingly named "Flyover states". Naw, it's the reason a majority of Americans get ignored in favor of farmland. Ppl in states that are l...

The democratic choice of the American people? The symptom of the prolonged failure of the traditional Democrat and Republican ways of doing things? Democratic choice of the American people isn't as accurate as you think, considering he got less votes. But, he did win by our fucked up system, so I'l...

I'm just saying that there's precedent for the States to go to war with each other when the House is divided against itself. Do you think that promoting disunity at a time when cross-party respect and dialogue is at an all-time low is a good idea? Do you think that neither side would ever consider ...

Generally decentralisation is a positive, but didn't Americans fight a war to do away with state rights? Even if that were true (it's not), it wouldn't be a relevant point, considering how long ago the war in question was, as you're citing a *trend* not anything that is written in the constitution.

Anyone with a role in the public eye has a duty to their employer not to make public comments that bring them into disrepute. It's unfortunate for the sake of diversity that a high profile right leaning Jewish woman has lost her position, but it was very much a self-inflicted wound. As to whether o...

honestly I love when Croak's attempt at (trolling?) or whatever you want to call it ends up with him looking like the complete moron he is. This is my favorite forum meme.

wow, my little thread got peoples panties all in a bunch.


winning??????

Literally anything does that to Croak, so it's a bit more like breathing. You're hardly accomplishing anything by doing it.

That is not an answer. Give me a year, so we can actually validate or disprove your assumptions and predictions. It depends on your definition of sharia law, since each country implements it differently, and an effort will be made to keep its implementation in Europe gradual and covert. One could m...

Well, the peace and quiet was nice while it lasted

It was boring actually. Political discussion in the current decade seems to require a troll or two for impetus.

Fair enough, though the Croak "trolling" got a bit heavyhanded. I prefer the more subtle trolling.
