Porn destroyed the world economy

[Cochonette]

Senior staffers watched porn as economy crashed.

Good to know.

[elucidate]

It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it

[granted]

Probe. Hehehehehe. Probe.

[swim]

Lol a staff member blocked 16,000 times in one month xD Classic

Seriously though, thats ridiculous. Thats more than once a minute. Pity, now they've got me questioning their stats

[aggie]

that damn little head!

[ar81]

It was financial obscenity what caused the crisis...

[iDreamCatcher]

...and how many haven't been caught?

[luis23]

Definitely not the time and place to watch that.....

[desertrat]

I want a job that I can sit on my azz , make a lot money for doing very little , and watch porn. desert rat

Get into porn industry.

What interests me is that this creates so much more of an outrage than there would have been had they been caught wasting their time doing something non-sexual. The Puritans really f***** this country.

Sure, blame it on the Puritans! But there's nothing quite as wasteful as porn. Except for video games and T.V.

The only problem with a job with the porn indrustry rite now a lot of guys are like me they get on line and down load it for free . desert rat

[aggie]

i don't care what they were doing, watching porn, sleeping, playing video games, playing the stock market, exercising...it would be a crime no matter what....

people who are defensive about porn are just as prolific as the puritans sheesh!

by the way, if you get into the porn industry...you don't just watch...you either have to engage or work the camera and direct while you watch

[ar81]

Banks are raping people... with taxpayers money...

[desertrat]

I dont deffend thoes that are paid to do a job and set on there asses and watch porn instead. Personal time is for that. A bunch of people at that company need to be fired . If they can get away with goofing off at work it must be gov. work. desert rat

Right.

Derivatives are sold as "insurances" or "investments" but they are indeed bets where investment banking designed the rules to take as much of that money as possible.

When you understand how Wall Street "products" work, you realize it is a casino. AIG got into trouble because banks had horrible lending practices, and they bet against those loans at AIG. So they lend, and then AIG pays.

i'm not surprised seeing that porn is pretty much ubiquitous now days

[mityno]

I hope they are able to use some of those fat bonuses we paid for with our future tax dollar funded $$$ bailouts to get some Pornohaulics Anonymous help. I hear pron addiction recovery is a 12 stroke process.

The Editors: Wall Street Casino - DealBook Blog - NYTimes.com

We do not know whether Goldman broke the law, but we know this gambling is too dangerous. Banks like Goldman turned the financial system into a casino. Like gambling, the transactions mostly just shifted money around. Unlike gambling, they packed an enormous capacity for economic destruction — hobbling banks that made bad bets, freezing credit and economic activity. Society — not the bankers — bore the cost.

Porn, casino, what else do we need to achieve certain doom?

Correction: Irresponsibility and laziness destroyed the world economy.

Don't blame this on porn. If it wasn't porn, it'll probably be something else, like internet flash games.

Look at this letter that denounced Madoff since 2005:

Harry Markopolos denounced Madoff 5 times before regulators...

Exactly..same basic principle. However, a lot of people I know would not be nearly as upset if it was flash games they were spending their time with...
I'm not defensive about porn, just pointing out how differently it's reacted to than something of equal wastefulness..

[Ashton Cartwright]

If it destroyed the world economy. . it's still a small price to pay :-)

I know this is off topic, but I don't think video games are nearly as wasteful as tv... You actually have to interact with video games.. I've also gotten pretty fast reflexes from years of gaming.. and that's made me a better driver , for one thing at least..

Would there have been the same reaction if they were playing golf?

I can complete this sentence. I read in steve's personal development book. He said perfect right.

when men don't work he tends to watch pornography or have sex. And i call them as lazy man. this is not good thing. Steve says, we should work, we should work for whatever we love.

I would like to know one thing how steve can catch such truth? I meditate but nothing like this comes. I like this. I like to identify hidden truths of life.

While true, you could expand that to say that most business leaders are gamblers. Engaging in business for yourself involves risking your time and capital for uncertain reward. I'm reminded of:

The gambling known as business looks with austere disfavor upon the business known as gambling.
Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary

To the original topic, consider what the SEC pays. Consider what a Wall Street trading desk pays. Then think about what sorts of people will work at each place as a result.
