I'm curious, do you think that senior figures in the banking industry would share your opinion of Ron Paul's ideas?

Any rational person rejects Paul's loony ideas.

I mean, would Vikram Pandit, Jamie Dimon, Lloyd Blankfein, Ben Bernanke, etc., view Ron's call for an end to Fractional Reserve Banking as hostile to their fortunes?

Now you want to elimnate fractiuonal reserve banking as well as the Fed? I hope you were a fan of BoA's $5 debit card fee, because ending fractional reserve banking means you will pay the bank to hold your money. And that fee will be much more than $5/month.

Or would they see it as a friendly idea from someone who wants to give them an easy ride?

Anyone calling for an end to fractional rerserve banikng is basically calling for an end to economic growth. It's a lunatic fringe idea.

Not quite as ridiculous as your belief in, 'Ron Paul, banker's friend'.

Name the regulations Paul wants on banks.

I believe they "allowed" it because the city asked them to. Let the kiddies play protestor for a few weeks, then we'll clear them out when they start to bore us.

Being against corporate personhood is not the same as wanting to "repeal the first amendment" (note, I am not endorsing the facebook page with a whole 24 members). Especially since four members of the Supreme Court disagree with the concept. Are you suggesting that those four members of the Court want to repeal the first amendment?

You really don't know anything about what is going on in NYC, do you? The city asked the owners to allow the protesters to stay.

Will the judge order them to allow the lice and the rats back in? Oh, sorry, I should specify, the non-human lice and rats.

I haven't ignored it. I have suggested that your question is nothing but irrelevant, curtain-twitching mud slinging (smear). What is the purpose and relevance of your question, if not this?

(see Composition Fallacy)

The US is a very sick society, with an epidemic of mental illness and violence.





Are you hallucinating again?




They weren't pretending.

I never even mentioned corporate personhood. I mentioned the Citizens United case, and if you disagree with that decision your problem is the 1st Amendment.

Actually unnamed officials of the city coerced them to allow the protests, acting completely unofficially. "The city" asked no such thing.

Let me guess, the pro-occupiers here will claim he's not a True OccupierTM.

Hey, I'm sure it's just for injecting insulin (manufactured by your friendly neighborhood non-profit communal mom-and-pop health product workshop Eli Lilly & Co).

No, it's for injecting the vitamin water, made by a seperate locally owned mom and pop store. Using only locally sourced, organic water, of course.

It's already come to that. I've been reading alot about the shooting in Oakland. Even though the shooter was there, he "wasn't one of us". Same for the people who damaged property and attacked the press. They were just random people who happened to be camping out at the same time the occutards where. In the same exact place.

What have you got against people with diabetes? These safely capped needles haven't been "left behind", they have been responsibly deposited in a box along with other rubbish. Police thugs do not allow much extra time for rubbish disposal. On the contrary, they make a lot of mess thenselves:



I await an explanation for your previous, as yet unexplained, reckless exaggeration.

It seems paramedics were called there several times to attend to "diabetics" overdosing on "insulin". :rolleyes:

No, what you said is that, "one of the demands of OWS is repeal of the 1st Amendment".

Having a problem with the Citizens United case is not a call to repeal the 1st Amendment, your claim notwithstanding. Is what the four dissenting justices called for?
