It never works.

If you just directly state in front of their face why they are wrong they seem to instantly go full retard and ignore everything or fail to understand. You have to use a different angle, give them the information needed to reach the same conclusion, gradually building up their understanding taking care not to tread on any social land mines, but never ever say "incorrect" or "wrong".

[1390255731] good wholesome corporate american values

Express Scripts (drug dispensers) are something worth looking at. Various analysts and price targets anticipate growth, not sure what their exact reasons are but ESRX is a good company, worst case scenario the stock stagnates and you don't lose much capital, predicted outcome, the stock rises and you get a few percentiles over the next month, possibly in the range of 10% to 15%.

Be careful as you near the 20th of February.

Dice rolling principle, pro, 9000

Remember that you're rolling the dice, you won't always roll a 6 but if you keep rolling you will eventually get a 6. I'm just trying to improve your chances, not guaranteeing anything. This applies to everything else I say.

[1387851581] Wall Street

No.109683 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
The real Wolf of Wall Street tells all

Drugs, parties and prostitutes were all part of firm's culture

Debauchery at its absolute worst.

THE WOLF: Mr Jordan Belfort boasted that he once slept with his wife on a mattress made up of US$100 bills totalling US$3m.

   At American stockbroking firm Stration Oakmont, the routine was not about stocks and shares.

   It was about snorting cocaine and consorting with prostitutes. Employees were also encouraged to have sex with each other in the company's glass-walled lift.

   The owner of the firm was Mr Jordan Belfort, who was found guilty in 1999 of swindling investors of US$200 million and sentenced to 22 months' jail.

   His memoirs are now made into a Hollywood movie, The Wolf Of Wall Street, in which Leonardo DiCaprio plays Mr Belfort.

   The Hollywood superstar likened his character's penchant for humiliating public spectacle and debauchery to that of Ancient Rome's most dissolute Emperor.

   "He was like a modern-day Caligula," DiCaprio said. "He held nothing back. He was unapologetic about his lust for wealth and his mad consumption."

   Indeed it was.

   A typical day in his office went something like this: On a sales floor almost the size of a football pitch, a pretty young woman sits on a wooden stool wearing only a bikini, as she faces the collective scrutiny of hundreds of her colleagues. The men stand baying in their sharp suits and crisp shirts as they relish this latest in a long line of tasteless spectacles that punctuated their working lives.

   The bikini-clad woman was having her long blonde hair shaved off in return for the cash she needed for a breast enlargement operation, Mail Online reported.

   Anything went as long as it kept the hungry young sales staff selling the dodgy investments which made millions of dollars each day for Mr Belfort, himself only in his early 30s.

   By the time he was arrested, he had lived a life of mind-blowing excesses.

   Confessing that he had taken enough drugs "to sedate Guatemala", he once insisted on a sailing trip while high and wrote off both his 50m-long yacht and personal helicopter in one afternoon.

   He boasted of having made love to his wife on a "mattress" made up of stacks of US$100 notes totalling US$3 million, and slept with hundreds of call girls in luxury hotel suites across the world.

   Some were so "high-class" that they took only credit cards but what they charged didn't matter to Mr Belfort, who was raking in about US$50 million a year by his late 20s. Once, he made US$11 million in just three minutes.

   Key to his success was realising that "young men and women who possess an intelligence quotient in the range of Forrest Gump on three hits of acid can be taught to sound like Wall Street wizards, as long as you write every last word down for them".

   When he was in prison, he was inspired to write his story after reading Tom Wolfe's satirical novel The Bonfire Of The Vanities.

   Now 50, he tours the world as a motivational speaker, advocating business techniques that will bring "massive wealth... without sacrificing integrity and ethics".

   He insists that only someone who has made his mistakes can warn off others contemplating such a path of corruption.

[1386157344] Minimum wage idea.

!NO.cbTZLDY No.109599 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
Before a certain point, minimum wage benefits vulnerable people who are at risk of being indentured and exploited, it makes sure that people can afford their own bed and board rather than having it provided by an unscrupulous employer who then tosses them a nickel each month as a technicality so no one can call it slavery.

However beyond a certain point minimum wage does not increase wages, it merely makes jobs that pay less than minimum wage illegal, forcing businesses to stop employing citizens and to either outsource, bring in migrant workers, pay people "under the table" (usually illegal immigrants), to downsize or employ people at a loss until they go bankrupt. You could argue this "certain point" is more like a ratio and while a high minimum wage incurs a loss of economic productivity it is worth it to help the poorest in society by a negligible amount, however when you take into account the fact there are alternatives and complements to minimum wage then it is time to stop viewing minimum wage as a single cure-all-ills.

Minimum wage fans have good intentions, just as I probably have something to learn from them, they have something to learn from me. As much as I would only like to argue about the advantages of minimum wage, I am an engineer and so I can't ignore the disadvantages, we should begin focusing on workfare and welfare programs that help open up jobs, help people retrain and search for work, which although won't be without problems, will achieve the same practical goals we all value.

Also, being far more practical, you would think these ideas could be easily popularized among middle class conservative folks who are skeptical about minimum wage, it would help republicans attract people who care about the poor and help democrats attract people who want the economy managed intelligently.

This is the big question of the ages. If the Jews went to war with the niggers who would win? I think the Niggers IQ of 70 is a real handicap in this battlle, but the Jews are cowards though.
