Judgemental much today? clearly she doesn't want to engage a known misogynist at the moment. In no way does this indicate inability.

Yeah, it really does. As for "known misogynist"... What makes you believe that Cawacko is a misogynist?

You really don't have to come in and pretend that this shows some sort of ability or thoughtful response. Literally saying, go ask google because I'll never back anything up... isn't an argument and I'm curious as to why somebody like that would be here, where people are asked for their opinions regularly.

Cite where I said 'go ask google because I'll never back anything up'. Oh, that's right - you can't.

Just keep making shit up for the benefit of Stupidville. Your credibility stock is in the stratosphere.

There's nothing contrived about unnecessary ultrasounds designed solely to shame abortion-seekers. It's real. Google is your friend. Look it up.

Nothing contrived about the wage disparity that continues to this day. It's real. Google is your friend. Look it up.

Nothing contrived about the 'slut' meme regarding contraception. It's real. Google is your friend. Look it up.

I could go on, but I don't waste my time with closed minds.

Seriously? Read a thread much before jumping in? Cawackoff is a moron. Tom is the site misogynist.

I was actually starting to warm to you a bit thinking that you are not so bad after all. It is hard to believe that you are a blacksmith, you are such a big girl's blouse at times.

More playing dumb.

Move on, Cawacko. We'll talk after you evolve.

The entire premise of the thread is dumb. D/F is still in a state of flux, due in large part to republican obstructionism. It's clear that the OP was offered by a guy who hasn't taken the time to read D/F, or the article in the OP, for that matter. This will be tweaked, and retweaked until we get some protection from the predators on Wall St. Did anyone expect them to comply willingly?

THANK YOU. That brings the grand total of those who 'get it' here to...what? three? four?

Act like a gentleman. It isn't that difficult. This bearded blacksmith sailor manages for the most part, so can you.

So isn't the whole point that the first thing that should have been enacted was a new Glass-Steagall Act which would have included the likes of Merrill Lynch, AIG, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. That could have been done back in 2009 every easily, instead they chose a catch all act that will benefit lawyers most of all and indeed may well be unworkable anyway.

Go fuck yourself, I don't take kindly to being called names. If you care to apologise then I will treat you in a civil manner if not then screw you!!

We don't know that though, do we? This law will preclude events like the bailout of AIG by the FED from ever happening again. That in itself is progress.

Really? Let he who has no sins cast the first stone. I told you she was my friend. Why would I stand idly by while you wrongfully attack her?

How am I wrongfully attacking for asking her to debate rather than just act like a spoilt child, Damo said the same thing so why aren't you insulting him as well? As I said, apologise for calling me names or forget any further discourse, your choice. I will even say pretty please, this time!!

It isn't superior to Glass-Steagall. What it is, hopefully, is a turn that might get us back in the direction of reinstatement of Glass-Steagall. Dodd-Frank is a start, a good one, meager as it is. The stranglehold enjoyed by the banks over our bought-and-sold leadership won't be broken overnight but in incremental steps. This one was a crucial first step.

Except that it does the exact opposite. It strengthens the hold the big banks have and it makes them even bigger. It is also almost 900 pages of crap compared to the simplicity of Glass Steagall. The only way to stave off another potential financial sector mess is to break the big banks back up and let the pieces stand or fall on their own. Separate the investment banks from retail banks.

I insulted Damo too, didn't you notice? OK, you win, I am sorry for pointing out your misogyny. Buddy buddy again?

JUST KIDDING. Bet I got you though huh? I love you Tom. You know that.
