So TeacherCreature deleted all his articles and ran away. You know, there's a word for him that I try not to use on a real regular basis, but it applies so well here: Pussy. :P

[quote who="Leauki" reply="4" id="1982202"] Personally, I've never fired a gun...never had the opportunity. Not a fan of such things, really. Well, I have never fired a gun either. Had the opportunity but found it is something that should be done by professionals. [/quote] I used to go shooting quite a bit when I was in the Boy Scouts. I found it an enormous waste of money and time.

[quote who="TeacherCreature" reply="1" id="1969228"]I am telling you a true scientist asks "What if?" For every thesis, there is an antithesis......Either there is a God or there isn't. If there isn't we are doomed to be dust....If there is, we have hope and a destiny......what do you chose? Dirt or Hope?[/quote] What does that have to do with the discussion here contained on Creationism? Leauki has never said he doesn't believe in God. In fact, I'm fairly certain that he

Currently: I'm reading 1776 by David McCullough, finishing up From Hell by Alan Moore, re-reading El sonata de primavera by Valle-Inclan, and (my bathroom book) am almost done with Oh, the Things You'll Know! by Al Franken.

[quote quoting="post"] Bring on the UNDERWORLD. [/quote] Amen.

My sister went and saw it last night, and her reaction was, 'There's sucky, then there's SUCKY, then there's that craptacular movie. Whole new levels of Suckitude.'

[quote who="CharlesCS" reply="8" id="1945631"]1) Either stick to the orignal requirements and lend to few people who qualify (which will help the economy improve but at a very, very slow pace)[/quote] That's the goal. But with the credit market freeze, they can't even loan to qualified, able borrowers. That's who they need to get back to lending to. There are more of them than you think.

With the lending market frozen, no-one is buying anything. If no commerce is occuring, the economy shuts down. So yes, the banks need to start lending and loosening the credit markets so that money (you know, that lifeblood of the economy stuff) can start flowing again. It's that simple.
