:lol: That was a good article. Probably not enough crazy one sided blind rage in that post to warrant any chitchat.

Re: Mark Cuban on OWS

Thanks for the post, Jenks.

I find it hard to read someone's preachy blog about Wall Street & OWS considering that Mr. Cuban got rich off the internet bubble of the late 90s. However he does make some decent points.

^yeah but he didn't rip off most of america with those deals...

:Hmmm: Not following your logic here.

He makes excellent points on possible solutions to some of the current grievances a lot of americans have right now. The fact that he's a brilliant businessman and made his fortune in the tech industry in the 90s shouldnt matter.

I agree with you as well, Jenks. As I mentioned he DOES make some good points.

However, Cuban wouldn't be where he is today if it wasn't for some of the same speculative practices in the market that created not only the mortgage bubble but also the internet bubble as well. I am just saying that whether it's Mark Cuban or Warren Buffett I don't really give a shit what these rich bastards think is going to help out our country. The ideas, opinions and political leanings of the upper class are directly responsible for the dreadful state that our country is in today.

Also, if you expect everyone in the world to be 100% altruistic all the time for the greater good...well then prepare for a wakeup call....

Re: Mark Cuban on OWS

My favorite Cuban quote is from when he was trying to buy the Chicago Cubs and a reporter asked him whether the baseball commissioner and owners would want someone as outspoken and colorful as him to own a team, he said:

"If there's a hooker you really want, it all comes down to price, right?"

I didn't realize Cuban was a one-liner machine. Give that guy a rimshot!
