Re: An explanation of the financial crisis

Uhm, actually I thought they were just people selling stuff in a temple or some sacred place, and Jesus only kicked over their stalls. Your bell curve does not take into account the fact that people can be educated. The average job requires an average education, which the majority of the countries i...

I don't believe that viruses are as destructive as they are hyped out to be. Every virus has its strengths and weaknesses. They target only certain systems.
