If the gist of this thread is to personally attack those who make bold predictions, then I totally disagree with the mean intent.
I admire those people who stick their necks out and make their strong opinions/predictions heard. If we live in a world dominated by “chickens” and cowards, how boring and backward the world would be.
A few seem to speak from both sides of their mouths like some slick politicians with long verbose paragraphs. I get frustrated reading their long posts but essentially NOTHING was really said. They say, “on the one hand, blah..blah.. and then, on the other hand, blah..blah.. and then NOTHING. No strong or bold preditions, conclusions, or opinions to separate them from the mundane or mediocre. Then they have the gall to criticize those who do.
“The right side of the fence is this and the left side of the fence is that, but I am so superior I can point that out. Meanwhile, I am sitting pretty stuck on the fence.
“This is white, this is black and I am so smart I know the difference. Personally I will stick with the gray area because I am chicken and I might get slammed if I have a strong opinion.”
