    OT in a survey of 18-26 years olds

    I'm not yelling, I probably tend to write in capital or bold too much (bad habit) for better expression, that's all. I actually enjoy the conversation to pass the time before I head to the beach and pull for the Tigers this weekend. Going back to the younger generation, and maybe this includes...

    Regulated, yes regulated banks, were/still are all the banks involved in the crap you listed. Now take a step back for a moment and read what I just wrote. So if a bank is regulated, which they ALL are, and they essentially do something that is illegal, is the act therefore "unregulated", as...

    Exactly, heavily regulated securitized assets, i.e. zero risk. These idiots (geniuses, depends on who's perspective) rode the system as far as it would take them and absolutely made a killing, literally decimating the average person on the way, millions lost their homes. This is what the young...

    Hilarious? Tax payer bailouts to the tune of billions of dollars is hilarious to you? Wow! There are no "arguments" to regulation in financial markets, it's better referred to as monetary history. In other words, since this is all so funny, tell me a time prior to 1913 in human history (so you...

    There is no need to say "free market capitalism", it is the same thing as just saying "capitalism", in your first sentence you are contradicting yourself. My point is, capitalism is in no way, shape, form or fashion "extreme". "An informed free market" = capitalism. Laws and regulations that do...

    If you pose the question, "do you support total free market capitalism?", it literally begs the question, do you understand your own question? I have to assume no because you immediately followed with "no regulations on anything". Why would you want to pose a question if you don't understand it...

    For anyone to produce the results of a survey in which the participants don't/can't understand nor comprehend the question is completely meaningless. Even though they "believe" they understand, just as most posters on here do, they have no idea what capitalism is. It's an impossible question to...

    Capitalism is the ONLY way to take care of your population, there is no mathematical possibility.

    You can believe they are taught history, it's just the most perverted form of economic history you can imagine. In economic terms, the current human population is truly living in fantasy land vs. any time during history, not even close.

    "Roots" has been hard to watch.

    Exactly! If people on this board only knew that our history is full of Irish slaves in this country who were actually sold for LESS money than African slaves. This country has perpetrated some of the most heinous acts against humanity, it blows your mind.

    "Roots" has been hard to watch.

    I am not implying anything, I am telling you people of color DID enslave people of color. Why do you imply that there is some hidden "rationale" in a post like mine? I am not rationalizing anything, you don't have to when these are documented historical facts known throughout the world. What I...

    "Roots" has been hard to watch.

    My point is, are you Spanish or Portuguese? I am pretty sure you and I and 99. something% of all the other people on this board will say no. So, as a white person (of Caucasian descent, NOT Mediterranean), our ancestors had NOTHING to do with capturing or actually delivering slaves. What...

    "Roots" has been hard to watch.

    Let me guess, when you say "war between the States" and "under represented", you are insinuating that this was over States rights? I hope your answer is no.

    "Roots" has been hard to watch.

    You don't have to imagine "Europeans" bringing slaves to the new world because they DIDNT. The slave trade was ran by the Spanish and Portuguese, these are not exactly what you would call Europeans in the traditional sense because how many towns (east coast) in this country were settled by them...

    "Roots" has been hard to watch.

    Ironically, it was our bugs that we carried with us, not our guns that killed most native populations. This was true for all of the America's (New World), not just here in the US.
