The general level of politeness is totally non existant in many people I meet in florida now. They don't fear a bullet, a slap in the face or even being spit on like in the old days. If you can't beat them you might as well join them. I have just read PHIL on GOOG this morning on his daily picks page - and his revisionisism is disheartening. It's not like he had NEVER heard of GOOG Slagle, I am sure he has used the search many times himself and certainly Stephanie has - yet as HIGH PROFILE as the company and service were - he never cared to look at the chart and apply his techniques until TODAY long after the easy money was made and with 20/20 hindsight he looks back and says YEP it was all in the CHARTS people. I know Phil watches CNBC so certainly he heard mad cramer pumping GOOG. I have been looking at GOOG charts since inception, I lost money shorting it and Tobago and KL financial from west palm and many others have too - not looking at a GOOG chart would be like not breathing in air - but somehow great guru PHIL missed it until this morning. How this GURU has a show broadcast over the internet, using internet software and services and taking internet payments and using the internet for research has never looked at a GOOG chart makes me wonder how many screws phil has loose Slagle? I agree he paints a good broad stroke of the corruption out there in wall street - partly because the scammers dont fear a bullet in the head for stealing - but the devil is always in the details. Is there one person here on boom busts that have not seen a GOOG chart? How is PHIL the last trader on the internet that didn't analyze the chart til today Slagle? I am confused. Now I see he is selling seminars - one close to you for cheap - why is he being like the rest? (sigh)

<The gist of the argument was that in places where the threat of the duel had been removed that men were much more querelous and inconsiderate of one another. The very existence of the institution of dueling kept gentlemanly standards and manners high. The argument has some merit. > In Japan, there is a very high level of good manners and politeness in general. I don't think they enforce that with threats of duels, or other violence. It's more likely that they have a social expectation and those falling outside the expectation are less-accepted or not accepted. Civilized people dislike dealing with barbarians. So the barbarians end up on their own. It's odd that you and Shades see a solution in shooting and violence: <They don't fear a bullet, a slap in the face or even being spit on like in the old days. If you can't beat them you might as well join them.> That's so quaintly American. Violence is as American as apple pie. "Speak politely or I'll shoot you, punch you, slap your or spit in your face!!" That seems an odd way to bring up children, or to interact with other adults. Joining them because they continue seems equally odd. Each to their own. The argument for duels has some merit, but not a lot. Mqurice
