The Minsky Moment

Looks like they are picking off the proxies one by one and daring Iran to react directly.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

So I'm trying to quit this hell-hole of a discussion forum, but I keep getting dragged back.  Of course the fault is mine and only mine.

Earlier today I saw a post on the CBC website about the Oct 7 attacks in Israel one year anniversary.  The article was ludicrous - it was all about the attacks by Israel in response4 in Gaza and Lebanon.  You had to go about 5-6 paragraphs deep to find a reference to the dead Israelis and hostages from October 7th.

But I guess I must not have been the only one to be outraged.  Because now if you go on the CBC website the articles now prominently mention the Israeli dead and captured.

So - good I guess?



Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

Beeb, do you really think it is a hell-hole here? Certain posters who are renowned for being disagreeable certainly try to make it that way, but I think if you, like me, avoid them, you'll enjoy this place much more.

You don't actually have to respond to people that consistently prove themselves belligerent and dishonest!
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Don't respond to CC.  Easy as that.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Frankly, the "hell-hole" aspect of the forum is just a couple of massive tard fights, which are enormously amusing.  Just don't take anything here seriously, BB, and you will find it much more fun.

Such drama queen theatrics. Stay or go (and hopefully stay) but don't do whatever this is.

:yes: Like a battered wife, Beeb thinks that after the 30th time it really will be different when he replies to CC.

I like to think it's a function of his Christian charity.

I thought Yi meant "Beeb and CC" when I replied.  :blush:
