Reccomendation - Go Occupy Iran / Syria

[Peatree]

Obvioulsy the occupy movement is dead here and hasn't done a damn thing...so why not go try it where it is truly needed? Or do you not have the balls to do that? :D

OWS is important to the designer tent industry.

[Truth]

what does occupation of sandy lands have anything to do with balls?

half of the whole ows thing is about the insolvency of the country that is occupying afghanistan til 2024 anyway

Yea let's go occupy Iran with tanks! We'll fuck them up good! That'll show them for attacking the US. Straights of Hormuz, more like Uncle Sam is gonna send this missile straight up your ass you Arab shits!

Anyone else notice gas is getting expensive? What's up with that? Gonna go watch Dances with the Stars.

[Hitchens]

Gas prices always rise due to speculators when there's potential conflict in the Middle East.

Also Iranians aren't Arab.

Who is Louis Woodhill?

"I have a B.S. in mechanical engineering."
"I am on the Leadership Council of the Club for Growth."

Made me chuckle. Didn't bother with the other links.

I've never seen a sheeple up close, I better not scare him off.

You really think WTI is trading at $110 because of Middle East conflict? Because Miss Pelosi told you so and she wouldn't lie right? The $2T in global easing since last August has nothing to do with it at all. In fact, inflation is just a pretend word and means nothing.

Smells pretty WorldNetDaily in this thread. I'll take my leave now.

[Truth]

inflation from quantitative easing was the reason gas prices were high in the 2008 election

Better known as "I don't know what WTI, easing or Straights of Hormuz are without consulting Wikipedia so I should stop contributing". Thanks for a look into the mind of the apathetic, quite a frightening place I'm glad I don't live there.

Here I found a children's game for you to help you understand why WTI will reach $130+ this year. And I'd you're concerned about sources, it's from the San Francisco Federal Reserve:

www.frbsf.org/education/activities/chairman/

Okay now the key parts, our current Federal Funds rate is 0.00-0.25, and has been since Dec '08 and will be until 2014 (probably forever though). So that's 4 quarters and 6 years, for 24 quarters play the game using that ZIRP and our own Federal Reserve's education game tells us what about where inflation will be?
