  1. More than just several, ENY. On your first point I thought that every thread was supposed to eventually wind up with racism as the subject and I hadn’t seen it occur yet so, why not throw it out there. Bias sounds so, so, civilized.

  2. “Well, ENY, that kind of statement would be the definition of racism to lump everyone together in a mass generalization of what is wrong with part of the population of hedge fund managers.”

    Hey Dave, for one, “lump[ing] everyone together in a mass generalization of what is wrong with part of the population” is not racism. It’s bias, and wrong, but its not “racism.” I don’t think you’re a member of the “hedge fund” race, Dave.

    Secondly, I didn’t say YOU were one of those people, Dave. I don’t really know enough about your firm (or hedge funds for that matter) to say whether you’re “honest” or not. In fact, I must say that you have been very generous in sharing your knowledge about finance and home renovation on this blog, which is to your credit. But I don’t think you could reasonably deny that several of your contemporaries haven’t made your industry look especially trustworthy or scrupulous.

  3. ENY, people that commit fraud don’t wind up in lowly state correctional facilities….the pen is a much more appropriate place. Leavenworth would be a fitting place. But then, as we all know, white collar crimianls go to country club pens. It’s a tough life but someone’s got to spend the time there.

  4. WOW, DIBS, you’re really down on your luck.
    If KY is all you need you can always come to Bay Ridge for a loooooooobe job!

    btw, I don’t drink alcohol, so no bubbly for me, but thanks.

    I’m truly hurt.

  6. Well, BRG, I don’t know. I’m a stupid Asshat fucktard who tried to bring white gentrification into an unwelcoming neighborhood. I bought at the top of the market like ALL Asshats and now I’m ‘Underwasder” and getting the shit kicked out of me because I want to flip that house in 6 months. Soon I’ll be headed for a great time at the showers of the ROTFLMMFAO Penitentiary and I don’t have a buck left to buy any KY.

    That said, I’ll buy you a bottle of champagne at the March 19 “Keep On Fucking Around” Party.
