We could learn a lot from the Greeks. I asked myself on the flight back [from Chalkidiki]: How is it that a people who lived more than 2,000 years ago, could grasp the world and its social laws as well as we can — or sometimes even better? Our brain has not evolved since the Sophists, who spent their lives trying to criticize outdated theories about the world? Maybe this is already the whole truth: Life and business have accelerated. The average citizen no longer has the time to devote himself consistently to considering a problem or theory. We’re too busy with our obligations to do something else, to be on the road, earn money, cultivate relationships, everything, as we rush through our live. And because we do so many different things, we believe, we believe we have more overall. But the opposite could be the case. [NetNet, earlier]

“We could learn a lot from the Greeks”, Like how to ruin not only a single country but an entire continent…
the face says catwalk but the legs say doggystyle
It’s a good thing that she has that body and that face.

“We could learn a lot from the Greeks.” So she’s into anal?
I’d like to take her over a barrel and show her the 50 states.
Wait… She can talk too??

I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, nuh, some . . . people out there in our nation don’t have maps and, uh, In believe that our, uh, education like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq,n everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, our educationn over HERE in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help nSouth Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future, for our children.

What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on the internet is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Concur.
Good one, but for the record, pmco posted that a few weeks back.

The key to a woman like this in the work place is to pretend like she doesn’t exist, talk over her, treat her like an intern. Maybe ‘accidentally’u00a0shut a door in her face. Before you know it, she will be curious why you treat her as a low class citizen and she will seek approval. Make sure you keep it all business – never even speaking of your personal life in front of her so as to keep yourself mysterious. Then when her queen is exposed, you trap her with your knight and tell her to meet you at your house for a surprise on a Tuesday evening.u00a0n-Guy who knows a thing or two about dimes.
Okay, a simple ‘wrong’ would’ve done just fineu00a0

The key to CurrencyTrader’s pants is a six pack of Natural Ice, a dromedy starring Matthew MaConaughy, and some Eskimo kisses while you apply black lipstick to his lips.nn-guy who knows a thing or two about getting into CurrencyTrader’s pants.

She kinda has a lazy eye.n-guy who knows you have to find something wrong with the girl so you can convince yourself she fits in to your league. I prefer the scale of 30. u00a0Instead of saying a girl is a 10, you find something wrong and call her a 26. u00a0I can get a 26.
Paging Not_One_Person. Mr Person to the comment board pls.
That’s a good call. I like the 30 scale. Pull a Seinfieldu00a0if you must.nn-Guy who hates it when a 26 eats her peas one at a time.
True story, but instead of Matthew,u00a0substituteu00a0in the guy from Perfect Strangers. Oh and then a cognac with a nice faux fur couch and a fireplace.
In fact, it wasn’t usually penetration. More common was for the reciever (usually a pre-pubescent boy) to stand with their legs together and the other participant would insert between the legs from behind…thats a university education for you. nn-PedanticnnPS – This bitch is stooopid.She appears to mistake people being interested in her rack with people being interested in what she has to say.

So what’s your point?

Where’s Muffy Benson-Perella when you need her?

Hey Matt why is Bess the only one posting hot girls pictures??

Doesn’t she know that she is there to be seen not heard? JPM’s HR dept needs to make sure that is included in orientation.
Show me your tits.

I agree. Maybe we should continue talking about this conversation over a cup of coffee?
I'll admit it. It moved a little.
They should start pounding the streets for some porn stars to work at JPM.
No wonder some people are now moving their money out of JPM.
It's still moving
