Re: Soldier Pawns Medal To Pay For Christmas

BREWTECH While I absolutely agree with what you are implying Mamboni (I really do), I can't help but come to the conclusion that what the soldier was doing and what Monsieur Dimon represents serve the exact same purpose, in the end.

For most honest working folks, it takes many days to earn $646.00 (about a week on avg?)

Take a star major league baseball pitcher with a $9 mil/yr contract. Somebody might correct my math for me, but I figured it takes me 4-5 days (when I'm working) to earn the money he gets paid every time he throws the ball to the plate in a game.

If you want to make a boatload of money these days, steer clear of honest, useful work. It just don't pay.

the Fukushima thread might be the most epic.

also K-os Mystery tour thread.

honorable mentions for Stacker Ken & Silver Art's threads. gold-silver-wise, the thread where Silver Art first made the call for $26 as the second-half-of-2011 low is also a classic ... seeing as how he called it to the penny ... so far.

I can't decide on one or two posts, or even a single thread. The amount of brain power on this forum is overwhelming. I can't think of a single member on this board that hasn't made at least one point that has led to epiphany for me (I guess that includes the trolls and shills... they may be jerks, but they ain't stupid).

Thanks to everyone, for having the courage to speak your minds here. The value is limitless in this day and age.
