The reason you believed I was a young kid, was you like to treat people inferior to your belief in your greater intellect.

Actually, a 'yes' or a 'no' would have sufficed. And been more enlightening.

Could I ask you if you voted for the bank bailouts or the Quantitative Easing

If the answer to this is no, then you are in a cleptocracy.


?via the embezzlement of state funds at the expense of the wider population, sometimes without even the pretense of honest service.?


Ps.

I am a bit older than a teenager, unless over 50 is now the new teenagers.

Well, because we live in a parliamentary democracy, the answer is actually 'yes'. The electorate empowers the government to make decisions like this on our behalf.


Otherwise, your argument would also suggest that I didn't vote for:

- My bin being emptied every week

- Any funding at all for the NHS this year

- Firefighters to be employed

- Roads and rail to be maintained

etc, etc.

"I am a bit older than a teenager, unless over 50 is now the new teenagers."


You know what they say about the second childhood, yes?


Why are you so obsessed with the USA?


Your comment about the banks and QE are plain silly. Most people did not need to vote to request that their banks didn't go bust and they lose all of their savings, but you can bet if they'd have been asked they would have voted for it.


Likewise most people most certainly did vote for a stable economic environment and keeping their jobs. So yes, most people would have voted for QE.

I tink hes form the UK but its easier to cut and opaste shit like this from US of A sites hence the American spelings and contsant refrnce to obsucre irrelevant shite like glash seagull act and amercan banks and savings n loan crises and ther NYSE lol nutters on teh EDF who wuold have beleieved it

Ho please, no one voted for this coalition.


Democracy die years ago. Vote for a potato if you like, you will still get the same old song.

No I don?t, maybe you could share your experience of said stage.

Except that QE and the bailouts were done by the former Labour government - the coalition is irrelevant to the issue.


And I don't believe the crap about 'democracy dying'. It's usually the mantra of people upset that everyone does not vote the way *you* want them to. Yes, people are voting for the same old, same old, but as it has been said, "the biggest problem with Democracy is that people tend to get exactly the government that they deserve".


If you don't like that, you don't like democracy.

Truth is there has never been democracy, capitalism, socialism, communism or any other (ism) human self-interest.


That same human self-interest, freed from regulations, has caused banks to acted like hooligans.


That same human self-interest, freed from the belief of legal consequences sent kids rampaging through the street.

OK, you are just being silly now. If that is the level of debate, then you are wasting my time.

What is the matter with everyone?? I called him a nutter after about 3 posts and here we are where everyone thinks they can still debate with him


Lady d. Just because you share the suspicion about banking, government and the rest of it doesn't mean nn has brought a damn thing to the debate. All the points raised have been raised before and will be raised again. But hopefully by someone less obsessive, one dimensional, and bored than nn

Sorry did not mean to waste your time, best you get back to your conference call with Ben Bernanke, so glade you told him to put off QE3 until September,

Your leader has spoken, pay attention or face the consequences.

Yeah, Ok. I thought that when he stopped the random cutting and pasting and actually started typing, a decent debate could have been had. But, after that last outpouring of reality-free bollox I give up.


Filed under 'weird nutter'.

    • Yes, they are intelligent ❤️ Various methods of deterring the foxes (aka stopping them coming and crapping on your lawn) have been suggested in this thread. If you don't want to try them, and prefer to keep clearing up the crap and complaining about it, well that's YOUR choice 🙄
    • Weather going to be hot from today thru to weekend so I hope all dog owners walk their pooches early in the morning or in the cool of the evening. Woofers can survive the odd day without going for walkies in the heat or having to race around with their pack in the heat. Try brain games with them around the house - hid treats for them to find, given them a kong..  Mental stimulation is as good and beneficial as walkies and does tire them out.     And whilst on the subject of heat and dogs, do remember that leaving a couple of windows open while you run into a shop etc to get groceries etc …. Is not good enough / the inside of a car obviously gets very very hot… and one could be delayed in ship, thru no fault of your own - meanwhile, your woofer is suffering.  Common sense really and if you are a new owner, probably really never thought it through ie walking dogs in heat or leaving them in car in heat. The majority of people on this site are caring, supportive people only offering advice, expressing concern when they see stupidity.  
    • Weirdly (well, weird as it happened very shortly after I had posted that) I got a notice the other day (the first time in the near enough twenty years since I joined the forum) telling me I had reached my limit of "reactions". I posted a screenshot on here. However I did not actually seem be prevented  from  making any more!   What is your purpose in doing that? This is a useful, long running and well loved (by me, anyway) local forum. It provides information on matters of local interest, an opportunity to easily sell or give away  unwanted things and buy or be given things you want, information on upcoming local events and interest groups. It is also a well moderated place to discuss both local and wider issues. And it is used by a variety of different kinds of people, as would be expected - we all have different personalities, experiences and opinions, and that's part of what makes the forum such a great local asset. Since rescuing the forum when the previous admin left - it could have disappeared altogether - Joe has put and continues to put an enormous amount of work into setting it up on a different platform (?) , maintaining it, and keeping it a safe and pleasant place for everyone using it. I'm sure you and others will correct me if I'm wrong, but it feels to me that dissecting "posters and their patterns" in the way you describe - presumably then to post the results on here?  - is just going to sow seeds of discord which could stop some people posting altogether and generally change the whole nature of the forum. I think that would be very sad, and I hope that that isn't your intention? Are you going to include your own posts in this? You have joined the forum relatively recently, and seem to be self-described as a "Pain".
