|
8.70 % |
|
| Romney - because he has proven he will carry forth current policies, including Obama-care ... |

Is China an ally of the West or is it merely giving the West "enough rope?" |
|
| Neutral. China's leaders are merely opportunist. Their stance to the West adjusts with circumstances. |
|
55.46 % |
|
| Yes, China is a good friend of the West. Look how it's bailing out Europe. |
|
2.06 % |
|
| Maybe. China is the West's biggest trading partner. Of course, the USSR was an ally once and look how that turned out ... |
|
8.55 % |

| No. China is an enemy of the West and will remain so. |

What is going to happen to the euro and the EU? |
|
| The entire fuss is a "tempest in a teapot" - and the Eurocrats will ensure a "win-win" for everyone concerned: Banks, countries and EU citizens. |
|
5.60 % |
|
| It is disastrous. Both are foundering and will fail entirely in the near future due to the innate impossibility of the initial concept. |
|
34.40 % |
|
| It won't be quite that bad. The euro will cause a split in the EU, paring back the countries who use it to the "strong" Northern nations. |
|
16.80 % |
|
| It will be very bad. The EU and euro will continue to limp along with less and less credibility until both "experiments" die with a whimper. |

Do you think the EU will survive? |
|
| No. The United States of Europe is another failed experiment in centralized governance |
|
46.71 % |
|
| Yes. The Eurocrats in Brussels will guide the ship safely forward |
|
5.52 % |
|
| Probably not. The cultural differences run too deep throughout different regions of Europe |
|
20.42 % |
|
| If so, it will likely involve the use of force against "rogue states" |

Could Ron Paul lead a third-party to win the 2012 US presidential election? |

|
30.89 % |
|
| No. The electorate will simply not support a third-party |
|
19.83 % |
|

| Socialism… more Keynesian garbage… what's to say? |
|
32.66 % |

| No. It is like committing suicide for the franc |
|
40.21 % |
|
| Heavens yes. The Swiss must support their European brethren in their struggle to survive |
|
0.71 % |
|
| Who cares. It wasn't backed by gold and was headed for the fiat-money graveyard anyway |

What effect will the European short seller ban have on the markets? |
|
| Short-term it will help maintain an illusion of strength |
|
11.61 % |
|
| None long-term. The fiat money banking system is on its last legs |
|
39.10 % |
|
| It will weaken even more people's overall confidence in the markets because they see it as pure manipulation |

Now that the debt ceiling has been raised, should holders of US debt feel safe that America won't default? |
|
| Yes. The wise leaders have led us through the storm |
|
3.04 % |
|
| No. The US dollar will continue to plummet against gold and silver as America just delayed the inevitable - currency collapse |
|
34.66 % |
|
| Absolutely not. By raising the debt the US has just agreed to continue defaulting via devaluation |
|
52.69 % |
|
| Perhaps. Does anyone know if it's possible that there might be snowballs in hell? |
|
9.60 % |

Friday, July 29, 2011
What will be the outcome of the "debt ceiling" debate? |

|
25.00 % |
|
| The House will stalemate but Obama will use his executive power to raise it anyway |
|
8.33 % |
|
| Who cares? The entire dollar-debt system is a giant PONZI scheme and will collapse either way |

|
| Ben really calls the shots and believes what he says |
|
2.14 % |

Religion
A religion postulates some sort of external authority with powers above and beyond what are commonly considered the human purview. Religion has been observed with some negativity in the 20th and 21st century, mostly because of socialist and Marxist interpretations of religion. These interpret religious beliefs as a methodology of control that substitutes a bountiful afterlife for achievement and creature comforts during the person's lifetime.
