google and flu trends. --psb
\_ Anybody know why the flu spikes way up in December? How does it
look in the southern hemisphere? It's interesting that it spikes
up then even in hot and dry places. I wonder if holiday travel
and shopping spreads it more. |

11/11 So if the LDS church bankrolled the Yes on 8 campaign, how the f can
they keep their tax-exempt status?
\_ Because LDS is a religion and gayness isn't?
\_ Because they didn't endorse a candidate from the pulpit.
\_ Way to go, useless distinctions!
\_ *shrug* That's the way the law works. Now, if you really
want to get their funding cancelled or cost them a lot of
money, get an openly gay friend to apply for a job with the
\_ job? in church? ha ha ha
Church; when they turn him or her down, sue for
discrimination.
\_ Are you still banging Good But So Very Bad Mormon Mom?
\_ Or the gay people could start a gay religion and get
tax exempt status! How about that!
\_ The difficulty here is that the Mormons have a world-
wide congregation and a mandatory tithing system; it's
really difficult to compete, monetarily, with this.
Bogging them down in repetitive lawsuits is an easier
way to drain their resources.
\_ AFAIK the LDS church didn't bankroll it, members did. See the
difference?
\_ Technically there is a difference, but it's a useless
distinction.
\_ Someone donates to and serves at the salvation army, and also
donates to the yes on 8 campaign, therefore the SA should lose
it's tax-exempt status? Riiiiight....
\_ Is this really true? If so, this *is* a huge difference. It
means that the MSM has been kind of slandering the Mormon
Church as well.
\_ Well, yeah. You have to read the whole article, it's always
relegated to the end.
\_ Wait, what article?
\_ Yeah, what article?
\_ Not one in particular, I've read 4 or 5 newspaper
articles on the subject. This has been true for all
of them. That's all.
\_ Which is political speech?
"God hates fags"
"Vote Yes on 8"
The answer to your question determines whether a religious entity is
tax-exempt or not
\_ Sadly it was probably Mexican Americans, Black People, Catholics,
Mormons, and people who think Gays Are Here To Gay Up Your Kids
that voted for Prop 8. It's hard to declare political war on
such a huge voting block.
\_ The LDS church wasn't just a voting block, they were the main
funding source (around 80%) for the Yes on 8 campaign.
\_ Isn't it that the LDS (or anyone that opposes gay marriage) would
lose their tax-exempt status only if 8 didn't pass?
\_ No, but the ads certainly implied that. |

11/12 The Mormons being the great defenders of traditional marriage is just
one of life's delicious ironies. lulz.
\_ Why?
\_ HAhahaha, how many wives did Joseph Smith have?
\_ something like 33. Brigham Young out-did him with 56.
\_ Why is this not traditional? For most of human history
it was common for successful men to have multiple wives.
\_ It is traditional. The idea that one-man-one-woman
marriage is traditional was created by religious
fundies who fear homosexuality. It has no basis in
history.
\_ 1. Look up the word "irony" in the dictionary.
2. Look up the LDS church on wikipedia.
3. Achieve enlightenment.
\_ Of course they are. Which man would like the possibility of his
spouses cheating on him by having intramarrital affairs?
spouses cheating on him by having intraracial affair? |

worried about the economy; the fact that you have that money

11/12 Intel warns. Q4 revenue forecast down 10%. At 1996 levels.
GOOG afterhours at 285. Time to buy?
\_ I think GOOG is a buy under $300 and I bought. --GOOG h8ter
\_ how long are you holding for? will you buy more if it gets
cheaper?
\_ I'll hold until I need the money, however long that
is. I'll buy more if it continues to fall as long as nothing
significant changes with GOOG's business (like a strong new
competitor developing). I'd reconsider buying more shares if
it falls below $200, but I wouldn't sell what I own.
\_ tnx. i am also trying to figure out when to buy in.
\_ Yesterday was a good time. I made 25% today by
buying a favorite daytrading stock near the low and
selling just before close. I wonder who the morons
are who are selling low and buying high?
\_ Please post on the motd when you make your trades,
not the next day. TIA.
\_ GOOG is still low even after today. Buy tomorrow
if it opens the same or down. The philosophy
is simple: Buy low, sell high. I have made a
lot of money the last ~6 weeks using this
simple idea. When strong stocks break 52 week
lows then by all means BUY. A lot of the pain
of the market is behind us. Many stocks are down
50% on the year. They aren't going to fall
another 50% IMO. Only the kooky DOW 5000
people think that and you know what, even if
they are right, I will be there on that DOW
5000 day buying. I am holding very few
positions long and overnight, although GOOG
is one of them. |
