PRAYER
PRAYER
Inspirational when done by a priest. Frightening when done by the Fed Chairman.

oh lord please don’t let the public know how the fed is really run
“And I’m STILL waiting for my hair to grow back…”
A poll recently showed a large percentage of Americans believe prayer could heal people. The next question on that poll should have asked why no amputees have ever been healed.
Amen!
Useless in both cases.
You’re obviously free to believe what you will, but I disagree wholeheartedly.
Well, it can give hope and such but it won’t make miracles happen.
I, too, believe you are free to believe what you will. Though I have seen some miracles happen through prayer.
That would be a worlds first. But of course its just anecdotal “evidence”.
I’m inclined to agree with you. Although, during a particularly rough patch recently, I found myself asking for some favors. Then I realized how fu(king unbearable that made me as a person, so I stopped.
Humans have pretty well develop coping mechanisms. It certainly doesn’t require religious beliefs.
Besides. If we were born say 10.000 years ago we wouldn’t even know about the religions of today..
Don’t start this shit again. I’ve already got a headache.
seconded.
pray all you want, wont stop elder god Cthulhu from riseing from the oceans and devowering you all
Fu(king Cthulhu. There’s just no pleasing some people.
sure SB could please bitter troll…-reads off note card in hand and glances to grimmiekins- bitter troll not get it
I get it, and grimmiekins is a dirty, dirty boy.
Yes. religion is sacred and it cannot be discussed made fun of or mocked.
Nobody likes to be reminded on how silly those beliefs really are..
oh shut up. nobody cares about your opinion.

Dear God,
Please let these fools belive my line of bs. PLEASE!
Also, please take care of my cat arthur, he seems really sick.
Amen
Oh, and God, can you teach me how to read? Hooked on phonics isn’t working out too well….

Apparently niether do funny LOL’s….
“every time i try to talk to somebody it’s ’sorry’ this and ‘forgive me’ that and ‘I’m not worthy’”
But God? I don’t know that the hell I am doing! What should I do?
Sorry, you’re on your own this time. I ain’t no magic genie.
I pray for my national Leaders everyday even tho I disagree with the majority of decisions mad(either party). I hope upon hope that these guys learn to recognize and pray ofr the assistance of the One True and Living God.
But you’re not praying for them; you are not at all hoping that they’re successful in their endeavors and live happy lives. You’re begging your god to make them believe the same things you believe. That is the height of selfishness.
If there was a benevolent, omnipotent god, he would certainly not listen to self-serving “prayers” like your own.
I don’t see why a benevolent, omnipotent, and omniscient god would listen to a prayer anyways. If he’s infinitely amazing, then he knows when to change something and when not to. The prayer of a mere mortal would not change anything.
Let the logical fallacy flaming commence…
I don’t see any flaws in your reasoning. Except for the benevolent part – a benevolent deity would at least listen to the prayers – not to say whether or not the prayer is answered.
I couldnt agree more! The omnipotence thing also makes me sorry for all the bad guys that are being punished in the bible. He made them with their flaws, and knew about them. Being Omniscient, what was He going to expect?
you’re forgetting about the free-will aspect.
You should pray for Firefox, that it may always catch your blatant spelling errors.
Maybe the “decisions mad” isn’t a typo. Maybe camington disagrees with the mad decisions.
Perhaps… but how do you spin “ofr” and “tho”?
tho is a common yet stupid way to abbreviate though and is typing laziness at its worst. It must be stopped.
ofr, well, I’ve got nothing.
Oh God, please no!! I pray that God will give me leaders who realise that politics and religion should have nothing to do with each other! Misery will be the only result. *turns back to watching sharia regimes on the telly*
“Oh God, please protect me from the razor-sharp inquiries of Dr. Ron Paul. He frightens my Keynesian instincts with his message of prudence and accountability. If I can get through the day without hearing his annoying Texas drawl, I promise I will sacrifice three kittens to you tonight. Amen.”

In my Tract The Age of Turbulence: Plea for a New Economic Order, I explain the nature and causes of economic depressions.
In fluid dynamics, turbulence or turbulent flow is a fluid regime characterized by chaotic, stochastic property changes. This includes low momentum diffusion, high momentum convection, and rapid variation of pressure and velocity in space and time.
A Turbulence is a Chaotic, Discontinuous State of a Liquid. It Owns Most of the Proprieties of Keynes’ Liquidity Trap.
It proves that after the inflation of the Mother of all Asset Price Bubbles the ominous fate of this economy is Keynes’ Liquidity Trap.
Its consequences are a new, bigger Crash causing, this time, a Real Great Depression II.
That bipolarity of the Market is the problem: any irrationally exuberant person, as any psychiatrist would tell, is unable to understand that he is irrational and that he will necessarily fall in a deep depression. He just doesn’t want to hear the warning no matter how many times he had the experience.
What do we do Before The Crash?
My Strategy: Preparing for the Crash, The Age of Turbulence. answers that question.
Using the yield curve as a predictor that strategy covers Treasuries, Corporate Bonds, Minerals (Oil, Precious Metals and Base Metals.) and Stocks.
Its aim is to profit from both the Asset Price Bubble and Irrational Exuberance and The Crash and Economic Depression that will necessarily ensue.
It tries, and for the time being very profitably, to accomplish Alan Greenspan Mission Impossible:
“That is mission impossible. Indeed, the international financial community has made numerous efforts in recent years to establish such oversight, but none prevented or ameliorated the crisis that began last summer.
Much as we might wish otherwise, policy makers cannot reliably anticipate financial or economic shocks or the consequences of economic imbalances.
Financial crises are characterised by discontinuous breaks in market pricing the timing of which by definition must be unanticipated – if people see them coming, then the markets arbitrage them away.”
….
The clear evidence of underpricing of risk did not prod private sector risk management to tighten the reins.
In retrospect, it appears that the most market-savvy managers, although conscious that they were taking extraordinary risks, succumbed to the concern that unless they continued to “get up and dance”, as ex-Citigroup CEO Chuck Prince memorably put it, they would irretrievably lose market share.
Instead, they gambled that they could keep adding to their risky positions and still sell them out before the deluge. Most were wrong.”

But what do we do After The Crash?
I propose a plausible alternative solution to the Depression: I designed a System that will allow us, when The Crash will come, to get out of Credit Based Free Market Economy, Capitalism, and transfer to my Adjusted Credit Free, Free Market Economy and Abolish the FED:
To participate in our New Economic Order you need to Enter Your €5 in The Cra$h R€gi$t€r Before The Crash – It is Fr€€!..
I.10.82
“People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices.
It is impossible indeed to prevent such meetings, by any law which either could be executed, or would be consistent with liberty and justice.
But though the law cannot hinder people of the same trade from sometimes assembling together, it ought to do nothing to facilitate such assemblies; much less to render them necessary.
I.10.83
A regulation which obliges all those of the same trade in a particular town to enter their names and places of abode in a public register, facilitates such assemblies. It connects individuals who might never otherwise be known to one another, and gives every man of the trade a direction where to find every other man of it.
I.10.84
A regulation which enables those of the same trade to tax themselves in order to provide for their poor, their sick, their widows and orphans, by giving them a common interest to manage, renders such assemblies necessary.”

Damn. PK ate my post telling him to fvck off. Do the posters of spam really believe that ANYONE is gonna pay attention to their crap? “Wow, this really pisses me off that they stuck spam in here. I think I’d better click it to find out more!”
Tl;dr…nicely formatted, though.
“Well, there’s spam egg sausage and spam, that’s not got much spam in it.”
Ok, I read a little of it…enough to catch this gem:
