Americans polled, don't give a fuck what Syrians do to each other:
(Reuters) - Americans strongly oppose U.S. intervention in Syria's civil war and believe Washington should stay out of the conflict even if reports that Syria's government used deadly chemicals to attack civilians are confirmed, a Reuters/Ipsos poll says.

This is the most dangerous period since the Cuban Missile Crisis

Yeah but back then we had a real Kennedy that diverted a Nuclear conflict, now we have Counterfeit Gorbachev pretending to be an American historical icon.

Let's see how far Russia can be pushed before they push back. What fun!

It would be a lot more fun if I had a bomb shelter in my back yard.

That wouldn't comfort me. I'm not feeling enthusiasm over millions of people dying so that a few oil men can make their money.

A skullfucking would be fairer.

I've found that the Do Not Call List doesn't do anything. It's best not to have a land line. I got rid of mine because of telemarketing.

It's also illegal for telemarketers to call mobile phones or to send faxes because the receiver has to pay for these resources. Nonetheless, telemarketers do this.

My policy is to not answer a phone call unless the caller's phone number matches a name in my contact list.

The solution to this problem is the same for email spam. Addresses and phone numbers should not be endpoints, but rather communication channels. You can't contact someone with having a specific channel ID (phone number or email address). I've implemented that for my email.

Short of that, a solution is to let the receiver of a call charge the caller for telemarketing calls. If the NSA can track and record every conversation, they can do the same for telemarketing. And if you can't track the telemarketer, you can certainly track the company whose service they are selling.

And spoofing caller ID is not only easy to do, it's ineffective against police tracing and the shit that Prism does. Just because you send a caller ID header does not mean the telephony company aren't routing your telephony IP packets in a way they can trace. Do you really think that spoofing a caller ID would prevent the police from tracking down a terrorist, a drug dealer, or even someone who donated money to the Taliban? Hell, no.

The fucking Do Not Call list request on my desk phone lapsed after 5 years

https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx
Your registration will not expire. Telephone numbers placed on the National Do Not Call Registry will remain on it permanently due to the Do-Not-Call Improvement Act of 2007, which became law in February 2008. Read more about it at http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2008/04/dncfyi.shtm.

That is all this is about, oil. It is just sick that these guys can put the world in danger because of their unstoppable greed.

Think they'll be successful in getting their war started, think they can sell it to the public?

It's a conspiracy, man!

Yeah, I don't how nationalizing healthcare and socializing its cost is connected to the despotism of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union used violence to subjugate its citizens. A national, socialized health care ain't the same thing.

And no, I don't think that Obamacare is a good thing, but that doesn't mean that all nationalized and socialized health care systems are bad.

Furthermore, health care reform isn't a male vs. female thing. It's something that all people regardless of gender or race need done.

If you think this is a conspiracy theory than you are not paying attention. Why would our government spend billions and suffer PR disasters over this? What is their motivation? They sure as hell don't give a damn about a few dead muslims... but personal gain they do care about, hence this war is about profit (oil).

Research CIA operatives on staff at CNN. Quite troubling. And that sell-out Richard Engle was stating hearsay from an opposition leader as fact as to why Assad would do this. That guy used to have credibility. If you are correspondent in a war zone and you cross the USA, you get taken out.

bgamall4 says

The conspiracy is to take out every government in opposition to Israel in the middle east. That includes Syria and Iran.

How do you know this?

You have to run silent, run deep to stay under the radar of the false-flag neocon Rothchilds's. The RC site is a front for transmitting truth without attracting suspicion.

Which specific market are you referring to?

Or does your prediction assume that real estate will behave the same way, everywhere?

Ahh - bgamall is deleting posts he can't confront again.

For a guy that goes around blaming everyone as a war criminal or dupe to the "big conspiracy" - he certainly had thin skin and can't take the heat.

Seriously dude - you give Patrick.net a bad name with all of your crazy infowars rubbish. Can't believe Patrick allows you to post this crazy shit day in and day out.

Oh I got it

Why fart and waste it
When you can burp and taste it

I live in Los Angeles and am speaking for the southern cal region. I agree with you on most points, but disagree with you on the fact that housing is going to continue to rise over the next year or two. Once sales slow and the bidding war cools down, sellers will have to drop selling prices to obtain sales. There will be no more bloating of price beyond market value. Rather than an increase in prices, I believe that pricing is going to be stagnant in the next year and maybe even decrease ever so slightly. Demand will still be there, but not nearly as insane as right now. Market is too speculative right now. Once word gets out that market is cooling and bad time to buy, which I believe the Bears are doing a good job of, buyers will back off and think twice.

Buy during this lull if you have not already

Please, let me get this straight. I'm to purchase Real Estate, in California, according to the advice of a 3 year old male, dancing panda, who calls himself the 'Housing Oracle'? on the Pat.net?

Actually, thank you very much for the wisdom on that.

The beast that buy can eat more,

Here the dancing, 3 year old male, Housing Oracle Panda suggests I should compete with invisible cash rich investors?

Got it. Thanks.

Anyone still wear a wristwatch? If so, why? Don't you have a cell phone?

------
I have a wrist watch, and an iPhone. It takes .2 seconds to get the time instead of fumbling for the iPhone in my pocket or the holster. Even more convenient if you are on a subway or trolley to and from work like myself. Less time out of holster = less chance of dropping the thing. The watch is a common classic design, and I enjoy wearing it. It's an old friend that i got as a gift from my wife.....

It's similar to my 1974 BMW 2002. People ask me why I drive that over my new car. If you have to ask, you'll never know....

bgamall4 says

do you know who Wesley Clark is?

The guy who ran in the 2004 Democrat Primaries against John Kerry?

Why would I watch the video? It's not from a credible source.

FortWayne says

That watch is correct at least twice a day.

Actually, the watch is correct 64 times a day because there are 32 non-overlapping time zones on any day of the year.

Some time zones have 15, 30, or 45 minute offsets in addition to an integer hour offset. One timezone has a +13 hour offset, but that overlaps with the -11 hour offset with a calendar day change, so it would not affect the correctness of the watch.

Remember, there is no such thing as a "standard" timezone. The recognized timezones are established by nation states using a temporal offset of Universal Time Coordinates (UTC), and a rule of when to apply an additional offset for Daylight Savings Time (DST).

So, in principle, the number of non-overlapping timezones recognized internationally at any time would be limited by the number of recognized countries. Luckily, most countries don't feel the need to have their own timezones, although there are exceptions. Yeah, I'm talking to you Kiritimati, a.k.a. Christmas Island.

That island changed its timezone offset to UTC+14 just so that it could be "the first nation to bath in the sunlight of the new millennium" instead of the last. Worst still, the dumb ass marketers got the year wrong. The millennium began in 2001, not 2000 because the Gregorian Calendar, like the Cesarian Calendar that preceded it, does not have a year zero. Although since most people preferred to believe that the turn of the century happened on the year 2000, maybe we should have a year zero. That way, the year 2000 would be the first year of the 20th century because we're also going to have a zeroth century too for consistency, biatches!

Oh, and don't even get me started on October 1582. I think I'm the only person who has ever written a calendar control that handles that month correctly.

Walmart business plan is simple. Come into an area and dump products at break even or less until everyone around goes out of business.

Selling for less than cost to run competition out of business is called price dumping and I believe it's illegal in most states.

Dan8267 says

Perishable, yes. Fresh, no.

I don't know if it's the GMO, pesticides, or what, but the food section of the Walmart in Irvine has some super fresh produce. It's unreal how fresh it looks.

Not a problem for Wal-Mart. They have enough money to buy the governments of most states.

I wish my last car crash was like this recent silver 'crash'. Soooo glad I stuck to my guns and kept SLW... Wish I had dry powder to add back in late June.

ahh yes, there's no way Bin Laden can equip the towers with that many explosives, yet somehow, the U.S. government managed to do it.

Bin Laden didn't have George Bush's brother, Marvin, in charge of security. Look it up.

Just out of curiosity do you have hemorrhoids or are you a perfect asshole? Bush's brother was a director at a security company called Securacom that lost the WTC contract in 1998. He left Securacom in June 2000. This is public record.

Since you are far to stupid to understand how corporate governance works I will let you in on a secret. Directors don't have any operational responsibility. They set policy. No matter how much you want to believe it he wasn't pointing security camera's in the WTC in 2001 even if he were still with the company and even if the company still was doing work for the WTC.

It's very disturbing to think that you are actually walking around somewhere in America without adult supervision.

No, it is a conspiracy theory. The conspiracy is to take out every government in opposition to Israel in the middle east. That includes Syria and Iran. The lies about chemical weapons mirror the lies about WMD when confronting Iraq. We as a nation lie so much we have no clue where the truth exists anymore.

Where do you get this nonsense from? The US liberated Kuwait. Kuwait loves Israel. Oh hang on, it doesn't. The US deposed Saddam. Iraq loves Israel. Oh, hang on... etc. etc.

Glass-Steagall will be reinstated and all bank regulations will be restored to the state of regulation extant in 1972.

Bring back autos-da-fé, illumination by candlelight, and bloodletting while you're at it.

Such regulations are from a time of suffering, screams, eternal night, and pestilence in our land. No one wants to go back to that!

You really think that is enforced? It would be difficult to prove without getting all UP IN the books. And we know the bigger/richer the corporation, the more likely the lawyers and accountants have money & means to prevent that.

Vicente says

You really think that is enforced?

No idea. I just said it was illegal most places.

I suppose it could be provable with large companies like Walmart, which are exactly the companies that would profit by doing it. But I'd suspect that our government would just slap Walmart's wrist at the most if it did catch that company or any large corporation price dumping.

Blame Bush, it's the gift that keeps on giving haha
