He got suspended for 3 days and took it personally. Oh well.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

| chickenman Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 0 Posts: 368 | Interesting phenomenon, message boards. Relatively recent development but old enough to have a very rich history with embedded jargon (troll, Godwin's Law), unspoken protocols, rules, bravery hiding behind keyboards, etc. and yet many treat them as, ahem, real life. Never really figure out it's the Internet and people lying in wait to get under everyone's skin. A variety of defenses are available - post block, thread block and the always successful: don't go there anymore. Yet some don't ever get it. Amazing. He's everywhere, he's everywhere...! |

Don't know what is worse, this or the lumps I see in front of Best Buy at noon or earlier on Thanksgiving Day. Quit telling me society is not doomed. The President is a fink. |

I've been through a whole gambit of emotions witnessing the destruction of my country. I am near the stage where I should just "tuck it in", I do know and suppose I have since the 70's that I can't stop this train wreck. As you know it is mathmatically impossible for so few to support so many. So the only way apparently [ do to in my mind treasonous leadership, on both sides] to keep the illusion going till the bitter end is to print print print, until everything that you and I worked our asses off for is worth very little. Twice now I have lost a bundle in pm's. If you can beat those hft trading platforms with either fundamentals or tech trading my hat is off to you. I hope if you haven't that you will click on "the bears" until at least you decide you arn't interested. I figured you for one of the few that might enjoy them.

The last time I stood in a line for hours was at the Hampton Coliseum for Grateful Dead tickets. Generally I ordered all my tix via mail order from the bands outlet, Grateful Dead Ticket Sales. This was different, last minute addition to the tour so no mail order ticket system. The band has a reputation of putting on really hot shows at Hampton Coliseum therefore very popular show among deadheads. Only ticket sales were at the coliseum box office, 1 week before the show. We drove several hundred miles and got there at 5am for a 10am sale. Ton of people outside the gates with no line. The gates opened at 6am, mad 300 yard dash to get in line at the box office. We all lined up and waited 4 hours and got our tix, maximum 2 per person, general admission show. Nice thing about the band, they had a show in Atlanta that nite so deadheads at the Atlanta show couldn't get tickets. They held back several thousand tix and put them on sale day of the Hampton show so the Atlanta heads that traveled to Hampton had a chance to get in :-) Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |
