Hey, Masada, can you finish your sign up before 3 EST?

From which movie comes your avatar pic?

Hey Mas, are you still around?

Masada before you one day decide to entirely quit from this forum and I totally lost you, can you PM me other internet forum that you are active? or your "not private mail address" for internet friends maybe if there is any that you often check? Because I want to talk to you once in a while and ask you about things that you know so well about.

I think all of these discrimination against Muslims and those who sympathy to them is somewhat inevitable, given that the media also supported it and repeated it and it failed to explain the variety of Muslims community world view and idea and treat them as a hive mind or potential 5th columnist and whatnot. And being accuse terrorist is feel like a lightning bolt struck to me, sometime it makes you think also to yourselves, "am I?" I wonder how many turn to be terrorist just like that, they embrace the stigma and relieves themselves.

Thanks, I cannot found any better internet groups, where I can hang out and reading (relatively-in comparison to other website) quality information and discussion.

And I'm on my Thesis now, I chose IS (or Daesh) as my subject. I want to see how people in CFC discuss about it.

Koi san, genki des ka?

Here's a Krugman piece I really like, and one which explains what I mean about IS-LM (and thus why MMT isn't the second coming of econeezus).http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/09/22/the-temporary-equilibrium-method-very-wonkish/?module=BlogPost-ReadMore&version=Blog%20Main&action=Click&contentCollection=Opinion&pgtype=Blogs&region=Body#more-37537

ahaha I never thought of that. nice.

I have mixed feelings on that post. Krugman sneaks some stuff by the reader. First, he's basically using an example of a massive deficit during a period of full employment, which the MMT people pretty well never recommend. Second, there's no compelling reason people would take cash but not bonds if the interest rates were sufficient. But it's likely true that adding cash to an economy is more inflationary than treasuries under most conditions. But hyperinflation always comes with a supply shock, so I dunno. Seems a bit fantastic. Krugman has been systematically taking more and more MMT positions while strawmanning them. I think it's deliberate.

My favorite critique of MMT, which incidentally explains money really well and also why the euro is stronger than it appears, is here http://www.boeckler.de/pdf/v_2011_10_27_lavoie.pdf

right? I'm not even an MMTer per se (IS-LM kicks ass imo) but we gotta start somewhere. What are your objections to MMT?

That certainly played a part in cementing my own convictions on the issue.

Hey, wanna take a gander at the syllabus for my Economic Development in China course? :p

what you think about the readings?

Get on chat?

Come on #nes sometime if you can at, probably like, between six hours before now and six hours after now, any day. I'm not sure what that is where you live. I want to consult with you on N3S foreign policy, if possible.

Why thank you, I'm glad you approve!

That sounds a bit like an oxymoron.

I see I have a lot of catching up to do.

Good God, aren't they dead yet? Thlayli is a wimp.

I think they are turn out to be something that they hate most (Nazi), the thing that make me more amaze me is the peoples who support them. I notice that many religious Christian both in RL or at my facebook page (friends whom I know since highschool) devotedly devil advocating Israel, in a pseudo intellectual manner. I don't have any idea what their priest told them in their church, God knows and I really wonder.
