Yeah, okay, sure.

Congratulations on being a game away from losing to one guy and a bunch of body parts stitched together that were reanimated to impersonate actual NBA players!

Hilary Duff isn’t bitter about love, she’s just busy!

Naw.

It makes sense.

As a guy, my thought is that if he hasn’t proposed yet he’s either not sure that you are ready to say “yes” or if he is sure, he’s just, like, super casual about it. He could also just be a lazy bum.

People want actual progress.

Gore, who was not a true progressive. Had Gore run on a truly progressive platform than all of the hanging chads in the world would have been irrelevent because he would have been annihilated.

“Hillary’s going to have to adopt Bernie’s message, and I think we’re going to be hearing a lot more from Bernie.”

Yeah, well, heroin junkies also thought that Ron Paul would have made a good President.

Meh, with all those injuries, provided the offseason isn’t a complete disaster, I’d say the Cavs will be right back in the mix next year.

Or, maybe, we follow suite with countries who have managed to figure out how to regulate their financial sectors more effectively without, you know, resorting to options that are no more palatable than unbridled capitalism.

You believe that the financial markets today are so complex that no one can understand them and thus it is impossible for people to demonstrate a lower level of competence, because it can’t possibly get any lower?

Comparing making swords to managing risks in financial markets is hilarious. The number of variables involved in sword smithing is limited enough that one person can keep them all in their head, with enough training. The number of variables involved in managing risks in financial markets numbers in the hundreds of…

Yes, but the delusions were born of believing that perfection was achievable in the first place, which it isn’t.

They failed because they were absolutely certain they knew what they were doing, and that certainty led them to take insane risks.

egarding math, if we assume an understanding of math, then explain how player stats in sports are more easily understood than financial things such as for example derivatives? Or why investors poured money into an unstable housing market? How about the largest automotive company in the world needing to be bailed out?

I guess what I’m saying is that your understanding of what has gone wrong in financial markets is not only wrong, but completely ass backwards. Meaningful regulatory bars were not lowered at all prior to 2008. There was no “good enough”. What happened prior to 2008 was a sense that they “had figured it out”.

Sports fans long ago learned to accept our male heroes as anything but heroic. It’s time to let our women be the same.

If you’re in a position where you’re helping someone who doesn’t want to be helped, though, I’d recommend just removing yourself.
