host, you really don't see the mote in your own eye, do you....... Please accord me the basic respect of having my own opinions, fairly arrived at.

This discussion started because you posited that our economy sucks, we are collapsing, the depression is nigh, etc etc etc. I called bullshit so you started this diversion comparing life cycle indicators in various countries. I'm kicking myself for letting you pick out details and change the subject to the one you prefer.

No, host, I'm not playing by your rules as you try to shift the terms of discussion every time the subject gets too tough for you. You don't get to move the goalposts. Come back to what we were talking about. If you think the economy is collapsing, why are you trading options? You should be buying gold and preparing to emigrate.

Put up or shut up, host - prove that the US economy is collapsing into a depression. And I mean depression: cratering of the Dow, 25% unemployment, stuff like that. I'll wait. I had said that there is no evidence of depression and that we are materially better off than we have ever been. Your response is that other people are better by certain indicators - which is irrelevant. There is no depression on the way and we in fact are better off than we have ever been by any objective measure.

And we still have the richest poor people in the history of the world. You wanna change the topic? You still haven't explained obese poor people as a historical phenomenon.
