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

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'.

    • Nadia did a great job tidying up my very very overgrown yard. (See the before and after photos). I live in New Zealand and my tenants said a neighbour has been complaining about the out of control ivy. Nadia was easy to contact so over WhatsApp, managed to liaise between me and my tenants. Her quote was reasonable for the amount of work that needed doing, and the end result is great! She sent photos throughout so I could track progress. Would highly recommend her to others. 
    • My car was stolen a few months back from my driveway but I had a tracker and found it in a private car park in Lavender Hill close to the police station. I was lucky. The thieves hide it up against that eventuality. High spec cars are targeted I'm afraid. The way it was stolen required the thieves to wire in their own computer accessing a front light (which had had a metal sheet welded across which they prised off). They had searched for a tracker but not found it. They also had to cut away a steering wheel lock. They had to come well tooled up and briefed to do what they did. Beating them off is non trivial. As I said, them not finding my tracker was just lucky. 
    • Been with The Gardens now for around 30 years and very rarely do I have a problem. I went in to collect a form and mentioned that my leg was hurting and hot- was seen immediately by the Practice nurse who then arranged an appointment on the Saturday with the Extra care service at TJ Centre where I saw a doctor, who then sent me off to Kings for further tests.. I recently booked a flu jab but appointment is in 2 weeks. 
    • Have used Milk and More for years. When the price went up we cancelled a couple of pints but we still have 8 pints a week. If we are expecting family etc we buy from Sainsburys to top up. We kept on with M & M as if weather bad we could order extra stuff from them to save us a trip to Sainsburys Local. Also gives employment to our milkman.
