"And more than 23,000 of finance professionals have registered to take the financial risk management certification exam this year"
Does this mean the banks will hire people to ask customers if they have a job before handing out multiple $20,000 to 25,000 checks on zero interest credit cards. I kinda liked the $110,000 cash BAC and other banks gave me to play the stock market on margin.As an investor in Goldman, I support them holding the line on market risk Read More

One of the many benefits of Social Media is the fact that posts are un editied reality and the content of the writer's hearts is seen in full disgusting light. As the Bible Says, "It is out of the heart that the mouth speaks" and as a therapist I see daily why spontaneous ideas can so convict us of evil thoughts. If Mr. Rosen had written these things in a newspaper he would have been saved by a wise editor. But he wrote what he really believes without an editor Read More

Precisely. My supermarket knows everything I eat because of their reward club card and whether I prefer double or triple ply toilet paper. Visa knows that I go to a "gentlemen's" club when in fact I tell the girlfriend that I go to the supermarket. My cell phone tracks my visits, within yards, to the AA meeting, the self-help isle at the bookstore, the Trekkie Convention, or the STD clinic. Mastercard knows how long I hang out in a bar with my buddies and that Read More

Wow, even WSJ started employing trolls to gain eyeballs. This recession must be getting really tough. Or as others have guessed, this may be just a paid advertisement to peddle her book to enlighten all the "losers". Heck, for the sake of being a Chinese and a parent myself, I'll bite.
It's surprising to see that Ms. Chua never touched on the deeper root of why the so called "Chinese mother" practiced sadism all the time. She failed to mention that in Chinese Read More

Enron Board Member - Paul Krugman, most of the fraud happened on Clinton's watch. It just exploded during Bush presidency the same way as the Al Qaeda. The gulf oil spill was a worse response than the Katrina which was bungled by a democrat mayor and democrat governor. The wars were authorized by huge bipartisan support in Congress unlike the Libyan war which has not yet been brought up to Congress. The tax giveaways were to people who pay taxes and not people Read More

high maintenance?
Different topic all togather.
And it is socially constructed, proven from the various different roles and expectations various people's from around the world, in different situations find themselves in.
Just one example off the top of my head,
white settlers found many Native American tribesmen lazy because all they did was hunt while women farmed.
In Western Europe, hunting was a liesure activity while agriculture was work.
When the Native Read More

He forgot to mention how giving work permits to ILLEGAL ALIENS in his backdoor Dream Act will help me find a job. Must have just slipped his mind. Come on November 6, 2012 get here already!"As in most businesses, the owners and managers make high salaries, and the clerks do not. Take a look at the government pay scale and you willl see that only the managers make above average pay, and then only if that average is only taken amongst them. "

Hm. What terror? What threat against the flying public?
I'm not scared a bit, nor should any American be.
You've got a TEN TIMES higher chance of dying of a "Malignant Neoplasm of the lip, oral cavity, or pharynx" - about 8000 americans PER YEAR (Source: CDC.gov) as opposed to maybe 8000 Americans killed in terrorist attacks (including 9/11) in the US over the ENTIRE LAST DECADE.
Unless you live in TERROR of lip and mouth cancer, why would these 'terrorist' Read More

I'd love to see Beck have the Fox News 8:00 p.m. flagship slot once a week.
I guarantee that O'Reilly couldn't match Beck's 5:00 p.m. numbers... but in terms of the reverse... I'd love to see Beck get a shot at a full hour of prime time to see how his initial numbers would pan out and then track them from there.
Beck might be "too much" for a mass prime time audience - even on Fox - but then Read More
