Interesting!

It could also be, that more passive boys are not only the likely targets of being called gay, but also targets of Child Abusers.

Anyway I'm glad we live in today's age rather than former eras where your own mother would think you a liar for saying Father Mayi touched your pee-pee.

Does it really matter why some people are gay other than to understand the subject matter? It's not like the reason they are gay should have any effect on the law, or civil rights, or social attitudes towards homosexuality. Sure, it's a valid scientific question and knowledge should be pursued because you don't know what wisdom could be gained until after you have the knowledge. But it should not be a political question.

I don't get why both graphs show a logarithmic rather than exponential increase.

If you're adding $1K/mo, it should at the very least be a linear increase.

S & P index is going up so each $1000 is buying fewer and fewer shares

Is the total value of the shares in the two strategies -- buy and hold is a 4.5X return while the SMA cross signal is 7.8X

What is the y-axis in your original graph? Dollars or shares?

"Are those croutons?" "No, those are the tsetse flies that fell off the bug zapper."

I keep a fairly open mind about such things. If anyone wants do cite scientific research on sexual preference and history of abuse, I'll listen. Maybe it's all anecdotal or maybe the research necessary to discover the truth is WILDLY UNPOPULAR! I'm not afraid of being politically incorrect (at least not on an anonymous forum LOL) and this should be an exchange of ideas, not a witch hunt.
I don't hate gays, I do pity them, and have even liked several as the people they are aside from what they do in private which frankly I don't want to know about. I've also been hit on by gay men in an uncomfortable way on several occasions that sort of freaked me out. So I'm not buying the assertion that they only go after other gay men.
My religion leads me to believe I should love the sinner (and aren't we all?) but not condone the sin.
I don't see how that's a hateful position to take.
I was upset at the massacre in Orlando. Those people didn't deserve sharia punishment, they deserved understanding and support.

I found quite a bit, including some studies showing some correlation among males, but the results are in probabilities, not a 1:1 correlation. Most people who are gay haven't been abused, and most people who have been abused don't grow up to be gay. Also, more girls than boys get abused, yet more males than females identify as gay. The most candid summaries say they can't really give exact probabilities, including one favorite reply on Quora: "How does... being taught how to bake a bread, influence home-cooking?" If you like bread, you might be more likely to bake bread if someone shows you how. If you start from a religious opposition to leavened bread, then that might seem like a bad thing, and if you start with a religious objection to sex (in general or some types in particular) then you might crusade like Tipper Gore against 'adult lyrics' in music or like Texas 'Christians' against sex ed in school.

Quigley says

I don't see how that's a hateful position to take.

It isn't inherently, especially since we are all sinners. It is however a position too often misused by some to deny others the equal protection of the laws. Some people use religion as a mask for hatred, and some people believe in religions that command them to hate and kill (e.g. Islam), and people are probably more likely to identify with and believe in religions that affirm their emotions (whether love or hate). Exit surveys following Prop H8 showed religion was by far the strongest predictor of voting patterns: more than 80% of Evangelicals voted for an unconstitutional restriction despite being told specifically it was unconstitutional and indefensible (per the Attorney General, a Democrat) and "a waste of time" (per the governor, a Republican), while more than 80% of agnostics and atheists voted against it. It offered no benefit to anyone other than imposing religious beliefs with the force of law (the temptation of wrath), spending millions of dollars to indulge bigotry and hate by discriminating against a small percentage of the population who hadn't done anything wrong (or at least nothing worse than everyone else).

It would cost America its Sovernity, as more democrats would race to the bottom with arts, film, communicatiions, and outdoor study majors.

And they would bullhorn on CNN and MSNBC that they should be made to make as much as people who make things, and many would become Attorneys.

So how many years of that could we get for what we've spent on the Iraq war ?

Total BS. You don't think most people would use it to try to study things they can make a living at ? Don't forget, they have to live those years, so the cost to them in time, food and housing is much more. They know that. Ever since a few decades ago, students have focussed much more on paths that lead to a job that might even support a family.

Some argue too much so, and that a good liberal arts degree is sometimes more valuable in the job market or as a stepping stone to a masters degree in business or whatever.

If tuition is mostly covered by the government, women's studies majors are going to be getting no more respect than they get now.

Costs need to go down. Subsidies just increase costs in long run.

Is it as much as the unfunded,estimated cost of $ 4-6 trillion for Republicans Afghanistan & Iraq wars?
That money didn't go to education. That's why they are STUPID FUCKS!

I've got a better reform plan.

7) Agent Orange laced martini, go old school on Dao's ass.

Turkey is practically giving away sarin gas to any Sunni militia that promises to fight the Assad regime. Most major airlines have probably a few empoyees who could pass for Sunni militia, so send them to score some free sarin and hook it up to the coach ventilators. Need to clear some seats? Drop the O2 masks for business class and crew, gas the riff raff in coach, and tell the survivors to bring out their dead. Everybody knows that it's already in the contract of carriage, and besides you can always blame it on the Assad government. Just dump the bodies onto the tarmac and re-sell the seats to local sherriffs trying to get rid of their vagrant population. Shave one penny off the ticket price and you'll make it all back and more on volume.

And if any crafty passengers try to bring their own gas masks, count on TSA to confiscate the masks and beat those terrorists to a pulp as warning to others.

How would we enslave young people from the start then? If we aren't chaining them with thousands in hopeless debt, how will we make them into good little corporate drones?

We got the Iraq war because we did not take seriously the WTC attacks of 1993. We got the Iraq war because we did not understand how to prevent SH from taking over Kuwait. We got terrorism because we found out that OBL did the African embassy bombings. US then sent a special team to get OBL. The policians said to "stand down" when they found OBL. US intelligence did not know about the 2001 incident in advance.

The funds spent on terror are like a start up with lots of money from a rogue son of an Oil Barron.

Democrats almost always leave out the background details, and in doing this they create disengenous arguements.

It appears that the terrorist bolstered their boldness and strength during Clintons presidency when no push back or protection of US assets was administered. This only sent a message to any terrorist that they could push us around, and then we get democratic whiners to try to cast blame elsewhere.

This is one of the reasons why Hillary did not get elected. This lack of terror response, NAFTA and CRA were terrible for the USA. The former is a physical terror, and the latter being a financial terror effectively.

The coupon should be for a different airline that beats passengers even worse, so runaways would come crawling back begging to be re-accommodated into the cargo hold.

Well, another mentally ill Muslim.

So, maybe we should use Islam to track those in danger of mental illness leading to homicidal bursts of rage, then?

That's enough to make him a good Muslim. Allah must be proud.

It's California. He would fit in perfectly.

Ahhhh CNN, you can count on them for "accurate" reporting...

(CNN) A man wanted in the slaying of a motel security guard fatally shot three men he apparently chose at random, Fresno, California, police said.

All three men killed in Tuesday's shootings are white. Suspect Kori Ali Muhammad has posted on social media a dislike for white people and government officials, Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer said.

A "dislike" for white people... oh boy.... Reports were it took HOURS for CNN to actual report the story...

They had to make sure he was a Muslim first. The name "Mohammad" was not good enough. Neither was it convincing when he yelled "Allah ho Akbar"

What soreheads. O'Reilly has offered to change his show's byline from "the no spin zone" to the "no masturbation or molestation zone".

Ironman says

Approximately 45% drop out of college NOW and never get a degree, and they are actually paying for going? What do you think the drop out rate will be when college is FREE??

You think that when the government subsidizes college, there are suddenly more spaces open at decent colleges ? The government needs to not pay it for people that can't either get in to a good public University of better, or get good grades at a good community college (which isn't that much cost to subsidize anyway).

School have limits on the number of students, and they have admissions requirements. With subsidies, admission requirements could possibly even go up. As it is now, a majority of students at all capable of going to college, or some sort of training after high school, do so.

Ironman says

So, if all these kids get affordable college costs from Bernie, where will they go to school? How is Bernie going to fix the shortage problem? Will he build more colleges too??

IT's not as much about more going as it is people taking on less debt to go.
