I hope the writer realizes there's a little name box where commenters can write WHATEVER NAME THEY WANT...

Which radical websites? What the hell does "like-minded people" even mean? He has friends overseas... I used to have a pen pal in France-- am I terrorist too? It's disgusting that even in a follow up that disproves an earlier statement, the NYT is still trying to validate their suspicions that I honestly believe are founded on racism.

So yeah, it's hard to mobilize and concomitantly keep that balance, i.e. realizing when it's okay to be hella activist and when you get to the point of perhaps misrepresenting your community.

They bet against interest rates and just agreed to pay 500 million to settle their bad bets. Yes the stock market is not investing, it is betting. You can lose big if you take to much risk. Buy dividend stocks as that is the closest to investing as possible. We are still better than Harvard. They bet against interest rates and just agreed to pay 500 million to settle their bad bets.

I see inner hate a big problem that boils over into acts later. People lose their jobs, money, girlfriend, boyfriend, and they just head downhill from there. I don't see people take responsibility for their actions. As the economy falls people here show their true colors. I see inner hate a big problem that boils over into acts later.
