I stand corrected. /shrug

Dude it's a whale-man, wasn't that an episode of GI Joe?

Oh Zang, Soma was point out the terrible spelling and the lack of punctuation in your reply, not combating your views. I think you should relax and take a seat aboard the sarcasm train, the booze is awesome in the dinner car! In fact I'd go so far as to say I think we could all do with a ride. I hear there's even a hypocrisy box car we can party in.

Edited for truth.

Why the hell Do I bother hitting cap so much? #$@!

[item]The Unstoppable Force[/item] Was such a huge upgrade over all the blue weapons that I had been using. I enabled me to take the reckoning spec I had been using and turn it into something really lethal. [item]The Untamed Blade[/item] When I got this I already picked up the PvP armor; adding this sword into my kit allowed me to completely destroy Horde like I hadn't been able to in a long time. And finally Crusader Strike, Combined with the UTB and later my Claymore I was able to take a class I had been told "had no place doing damage in pvp" and grind not only Horde, but all criticism into the ground. My crowing achievement at 60 with all the pvp gear was heading over to the mine after all of our group had been killed, calling for reinforcements and expecting get my ass kicked and buy us a few seconds. I was completely stunned when, to my amazement, I had killed 4 of them and sent the druid running for his life before the reinforcements got there. I was capping the flag when Kimball came rolling up with that orange hammer. I had to walk away from the keyboard after that, I couldn't believe that it just happened.

It's a stationary sheep.... FFS.

'tis why I <3 you XD *gets the branding iron*

HV, I love you like the tall, akward, younger brother that I never had, but if you mix anything with that I'd rip off your gentelman vegetables and feed them to you. Then I'd brand "p-u-s-s-y" on your ass cheeks with a hot poker.

Fixt!

Here's it all in a nutshell. This was started by the subprimes when people who normally wouldn't be able to afford a home were able to get a loan with an adjustable rate. This rate would continue to climb to the point were the payment you were able to make is now suddenly two or three times what it was. Thus forcing you to refinance or forclose. Many times refi-ing isn't an option so they lose the house they were staying in. There are other factors but I'm goingto try and keep this simple. The reason an insurance agnecy is in trouble is they would purchase "securities" where would basically be morgatges bundeled together. This would be used as capital should the company need to make a payout, they'd sell this package to someone else and, boom, instant money. Problems happen when no one's interested in buying the securities that you're holding and suddenly your company isn't worh what you thought it was. It'd be like if I told you 75% of the money you have access to (credit cards, checking, savings) is really monopoly money. Thier clients would lose faith in thir ability to provide cover should a payout be needed and pull out. Making a bad problem worse. If AIG were to go under right now then it'd leave millions of people and thousands of banks w/o any kind of cover. It's like a shitty Jenga game. AIG is one of those blocks that when removed suddenly brings the whole thing down. Now with the Fed buying such a large portion of the company the money needed is there, and it's a loan so AIG is goign to sell off portions of itself and it's assets in a controled manner that keep the market stable. They're going to have to pay the Fed back for this loan and if all goes well the taxpayer is going to make truckloads of money on the interest. The big deal is if this company were allowed to fold that rapidly then it would lead to a panic, followed by a crash, I again refer to that Jenga anology. The whole idea is that you want a controled fall. Also buy Adamantite futures right now is just stupid. It's going to be replaced by yet another mineral for level 80 content. So for a long term investment you're wasting your time. You'd be lucky to break even on any purchase you make right now!

You just wait until after all this is sorted out and we have the next financial episode. Bank of America is going to be HUGE!

Just want to throw this out there but should Georgia join NATO then we're bound by the NATO charter to come to their deffence. I'm not saying fire up the nukes now, or that even it's even a good idea, but the whole founding idea was an attack on one member is an attack on all of them. We've got much more effective tools to deal with Russia then force though, so it's more rhetoric then anything.
