I thought it was about anarchy? Anarchy has every man for himself, regardless of race, more about class conflict than race. Oldest conflict on Earth: The haves vs. the have nots.

Thank you Rey. You can tell you're winning an argument with a liberal when they start calling you names.

A little humor and levity to the democrat/republican debate.

Add marksmanship and cover and its "advantage: defender(s)"
what would you do if they were as trained as you are...that is the point i was making

Name of a classic and very important book and movie written by a black man. I'm not using spook as a derogatory term. When Sam Greenlee wrote it he chose to intelligently insert the work spook in the title knowing it is both a derogatory term for his race and a term for a spy. You should read it or watch the movie. The book and movie are just as relevant as they were nearly 40 years ago. Don't try being all hood on someone that grew up in the ghetto. Not everyone on this site is a rich white Conservative Republican from the suburbs that doesn't know **** about inner city life. You should stop being so judgemental on people without knowing their background. You're just digging yourself further and further in a hole.

You've got me beat. I just got in a lot fights for being white. Even though I don't really consider myself white per say. I've been in knife fights but never been stabbed and I've been jacked at gun point but never shot.

Well folks, it looks as though we might be starting out the new year with $100 a barrel oil. It's pretty close right now and I haven't been paying attention today so I don't know if it's crossed the mark early. I'll have to active my market watch for the rest of the day.

Time to get that cake ready. It is great that the rich get richer! That is what we are told, so it must be true
Why is it that each of us is not smart enough to invest in oil? Why are we all so dumb......... I guess we do our part by greasing the wheels and buying the stuff. Record profits for all , if only we had invested..........
