I have to side with DS on this one (weird as that is) but as a person working towards an Econ major, I can say there is a lot more to Economics than number crunching. Economics is about choices and about understanding how people/firms/governments make economic choices. Which in turn pretty much impacts how we how live.

That's totally weird. And I graduated with an economics/history degree. I've learned more from reading books and studying graphs as well as various markets in the past year, than I ever learned as an economics major. They don't teach you the right stuff in college. The micro and macro bullshit doesn't begin to explain how markets various economies operate. Out of all the econ grads I've talked to, not one of them truly understands what's going on today(America and the rest of the World), in terms of recession/depression.

I'm not talking about the number crunching garbage you learn in high school and college, I'm talking about knowing how various market economies work and using that knowledge to invest properly.
How the hell do we go from 1 month to 1 week, a week later? Are you even IN camp?
Originally posted by Red NemesisOK, so we have Macro, Micro and International.
Micro is cool, it is intuitive enough that I took 2nd in a state competition w/o taking the class formally.
Macro sux, primarily because it requires specific training.
International is... ok? I haven't been exposed enough to judge.
I'm a gold man myself so I've got money in gold futures as well as other commodities, with the rest of my money in foreign investments all beating against the dollar.
Well, it was three weeks as of the twelfth. It is now 13 days later. three weeks minus two weeks is one week. Do you see how that works? [/B]

Cops are so lazy and weak nowadays. They depend too much on their tazers. They can't even control females.

Yeah, that's not an unfounded generalization or anything.
S66You should probably make that clearer...
Well not all cops. I am just speaking for the ones I see.
S66Tell your sister to respect the status quo and allow men to assert their dominance, please.
