SP - Why not move to Texas , get it to secede & elect George W Bush president of Texas so you can enjoy 20 more years of his leadership? The country has no need for worthless rednecks like you

I can't wait for our Marxist president to take office, then all these capitalist worries will be a thing of the past.

Funny, this morning I commented that we could easily see 7500 by Christmas. We alsmost had it by dinner. It's a bloodbath. Short squeezes are killing financials. A bloodbath.

Did I mention the Finance guys' towncars and SUV's still idling outside of the swanky bars? That's bailout money continuing to pay the salaries that burn fossil fuels to facilitate the poonanny-search of those coked-up 26 year old douchebags who ran our economy into the ground.

People should stop going (or sending their kids) to college to get all these useless liberal arts degrees or Business administration. Go and get a useful degree in Healthcare, Chemist, Engineering or learn some kind of Artisan skill.

#23, that is why eventually the American People (let's hope) will rise and have ourselves a revolution against our 'masters.' Otherwise we will continue to be slaves to the corporations and the highly corrupt government. Check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igOWR_-BXJU

I should go to medical school at Harvard and become a neurosurgeon. ROFL

Yadda Yadda Yadda. For the best of those working, there are top dollar jobs. Neurosurgeons as of today are making a killing and profit is not generated by the stock market. There are great jobs out there for those best of breed even today for those not in the stock market.

Cash can be generated at will. But when you stick out that wad of cash, oppressors keep chopping up the slice of the pie unless you control your own constraints.

Dude, I had my chance to get rich and someone got into my head who I wanted to go out with at one point in time. Life hasn't always been bad for me. But I just look at life way differently now. Anyways no hard feelings. Take care.

#8- dude don't kill yourself. Pretty soon everybody is gonna be in the same boat and then we'll all have to live in tribes fighting for canned food. Sure you may not be successful in this present economy but later on money won't mean anything and our currency will be how well you can drive to escape to the outlands. Think about all that feral post apocalyptic tail that will be out there.

"Look, it's going to get worse, we might as well prepare for it. If you can't handle this, what makes you think you will handle the hardship of the next several years?" Bruce Ivins killed himself over the anthrax letters which we know were not done by him and so in his case, he was a scientist no more and had no choice. Other humans keep forcing the hand of others around them each and every day. USA is and will be the suicide nation in the next few months as dead bodies are lined up in droves due to financial turmoil that will get even worse.

Yadda yadda yadda. Suicide rates will be skyhigh come the next few months when things will get even worse. Even the NY Times said so.

Look, it's going to get worse, we might as well prepare for it. If you can't handle this, what makes you think you will handle the hardship of the next several years? We are heading into what is probably going to be call the GREATEST DEPRESSION, we are heading toward dark times. Money is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, there are plenty of opportunities to make money later on. LIVE AND FIGHT! And besides, like #13 said Music is always at its best during dark times, so are The Arts. Sure, we won't have materialistic stuff anymore, but we'll have some awesome music, nightlife and culture!

I lost a shitload and I had very little over the course of the years. I keep getting financially raped in my life and getting less and less and beaten up badly by more and more empires. Well not this time: Tonight I am committing suicide. No more me to financially rape anymore. Capiche. Its over.
