So staitng one's opinion without having the inclination to defend it to those who are incalcitrant is considered trolling? Good to know!

An opinion is a belief backed up by bullshit.

I try to rarely have any opnions about anything. Read my signature.

Based on realistic observation of what people call trolling, I'd say the real definition of trolling is "saying things people don't like."

This place is more forgiving than most, but you go on most forums and post an opinion not airable on nightly news segments and you are immediately accused of "trolling," then if you attempt to defend your ideas you're punished for "repeated trolling."

The only common denominator is that normal, media watching, alcohol & fast food consuming, social media posting, tablet using people do not like it. Like I said, this place is better than most, but what I described has been the internet status quo since roughly 2005.

What!? You have an opinion about EVERYTHING. Usually at least one. Often contradictory.

MachineGhost has facts. Only facts. If you disagree then that's an opinion. That's a fact!

Here's a fact: many, many people do not get my sarcasm.

Sarcasm is just a way to cover your a$$ if you are wrong.

A crash is when you lose almost 30% in a day aka October 19 ,1987.

That's probably gonna happen if Trump wins the election.
That I remember; I started investing on October 12, 1987 with $ 10.000,- gift from my mother. I lost $ 3000 that day and i phoned my mother. She said: Good, you first lesson!. Now I own a muliplier of 70, so it was a good lesson.
