[hardball]

Hardball, your arrogance makes me think that you're the one with this disorder. Let's rip apart your post now.

Listen, this isn't a burial, this isn’t AA or GA. You can deal with it as you wish.

However, you DO suffer from Narcissistic personality disorder. I mean this. Not kidding.

Best of luck.

Lets continue shall we?

I see a trend in your posting. You use these "do I really need to explain to you why economists..." lines which you consider gives you instant credibility. You said it earlier for the Gini Coefficient and now you're saying it with PPP vs. Nominal GDP. Let's hear your own explanation and spare me the "do I really need to explain to you" lines. Let's hear it.

I can't argue with ignorance. You CLEARLY don't have a strong grasp on the difference and need me to bail you out. You want me to write my dissertation on here? Get a clue…

What’s the matter? When you google GDP ppp vs nominal all you got was Yahoo answers and zero wiki pages?

Look at the link you posted. It has 2004 in the HTML. So how is the LIAR or IDIOT now? Your link doesn't even open. Your stats are from 2004 sir. You are the piece of shit liar.

False, you’re just an idiot who can’t open a link. Look again at the date referenced….

Look at the HTML. It ends with "2004rank.html" and it doesn't even open. You are so full of shit and you've been exposed.

The internet is tough isn't it?
The only thing you’ve exposed is that you can’t mine basic data out of a given link.
The link works fine....And if you were to use it, it references 2010 data. The link was created in 2004 and updated annually.

If the link STILL doesn't work. Try a website called GOOGLE. Type gdp per capita ppp CIA Fact book. It's the first link. Notice the date referenced?

What happened to the other link I cited? You ignored it. Did the internet not work for you AGAIN?

Damn that internet!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...%29_per_capita
Three different sources referenced on your so called credible wiki page.

As for you not liking Wiki, that's not my problem, it's yours. If you knew how Wiki works, all of the facts on it are sourced, it's one of the requirements of posting on Wiki. Each fact is reference to its source. It's more credible than sites that don't source their facts. If you're the academic type you try to make yourself out to be, why would you not like a source that references its facts?

If I have to debate with you the credibility of "Wiki" vs the CIA fact book this debate is over. Stupidity wins I guess.

Anyways, I'm waiting on your explain as to why the Gini Coefficient is so flawed and why PPP per capita is a better measure than GDP per capita.

Pick up the spoon and educate yourself. I’m not here to fill in for your community college professor.

I will give you a hint for the issues with the GINI coefficient.
-Oversimplification
-Government Policies
-Demographics
-Take a look and New Zealand and India. Interesting? If not...You have no grasp on the coefficient itself.

As for PPP vs Nominal....This is basic ECON.

You know this...I obviously understand the value of purchasing power in this debate or I wouldn’t have brought it up.

You’re a half wit narcissist pretending to be education in a field you know nothing more than a second year econ college student.

Hit the books Will Hunting. America still stands.
