Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

"Liberal, shmiberal. That should be a new word. Shmiberal: one who is assumed liberal, just because he's a professional whiner in the newspaper. If you'll read the subtext for many of those old strips, you'll find the heart of an old-fashioned Libertarian. And I'd be a Libertarian, if they weren't all a bunch of tax-dodging professional whiners." - Berkeley Breathed

your suspension system analogy would only work in our current situation if your car's suspension continued to expand your shocks outward over time to compensate for the deterioration of most other components that contribute to your car's ride, giving you the illusion that your car is still riding fine. Eventually those shocks meet their limit of expansion and you must suffer the ill effects of the many other failing components, while at the same time the shocks actually have no choice but to contract, which only accelerates the problem.
Historically, interest rates have been raised and lowered to affect the desired changes, e.g. heating up or slowing down the economy. Sadly, politicians always want it to heat up more so they can get reelected. Now that rates are essentially zero, Obama's plan has been printing more money and spending "stimulus" dollars, effectively making the net interest rate negative. Now we know people and businesses are sitting on cash because they don't have confidence in our economy and Obama. Brian and Brum think Obama will win next Nov, but I think that is just homeristic wishing.

If the Fed has kept interest rates higher during the 2000's, and if the fractional reserve percentage was higher, our economy would have kept a "better feel for the road" (staying with the suspension analogy), and the housing market bubble couldn't have been inflated so much. However, whenever you are talking about asset classes like stocks and real-estate, when an entire sector is priced based on the last purchase price, I don't see how bubbles can be avoided given the global nature of trading. For example, people in China can buy real estate in a US city, pushing up the prices.

no, took this damn Advil Cold & Sinus, and it wired me for sound...I fell asleep at about 11:00, woke up at 1:30 raring to go, and haven't turned back...I'm going to hit the wall tonight, and unfortunately the wife and daughter are going out, and leaving a very tired and sick Dad at home with a newborn....sound fun?

The body knows what fighters don't: how to protect itself. A neck can only twist so far. Twist it just a hair more and the body says, "Hey, I'll take it from here because you obviously don't know what you're doing... Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism.

I had forgotten that you had another edition -- belated congratulations if I didn't send them before.

You are only saying that because you are sleep deprived. You are programmed by your maker to get in there and squeeze out a few more for the team. Eventually, sex becomes more inviting than sleep again.
