Death to all the money lenders.

But money lenders only exist because some people want to borrow money. Easy to blame everything on them but it takes two to tango

If my Shera picture does not clue you into that..... then...

YES!!! Decidedly so!

Laughing....KRYST - the bold was aimed at THALES. not you honey.

It would have been interesting to hear people's views two or three years ago, if the lenders had said 'No, you can't have any money, we can see problems coming in a little while'. They were damned if they did and damned if they didn't.

I don't disagree with that.

But when the financial institution are supported by the tax payers they should be required to exercise a degree of fiduciary responsibility to the people that provide them with capital.

Unfortunately most of the debt is ultimately owed to the Chinese and the Saudis.

And for that; shame on us.

But that’s a different topic all together.

I asked if you were a woman because your reaction to being lied to by the politicians has a feminine bias.

Most men react in anger to politicians lying and cheating. Mostly men don’t feel “dirty” from other people’s actions. That of course, is just my take on it.

So if you’re a woman, then great, but if you are, then why put a male picture up as an avatar?

If you’re not; I find it rare to see a male reaction similar to yours.

Depends on the actions and if they're done right

why get mad about it? that's pointless. power corrupts. simple. it makes me feel dirty because I am NOT corrupt. plain and simple.

as for the rest of your post, I think I'll just throw it out the window.

Dirty from a mans point of view implies transferred guilt. Dirty from a woman's, denotes emotion override, like repulsion, etc. Repulsion is not typical male overreaction.

That's all I'm saying I am not criticizing you. You just seem like a woman pretending to be a man.

I'm sure I'm wrong, I often am.

No they were not.
They had to be sensible , responsible and diligent, whilst taking their profits, thats all.

Yup Paul is right.

However, on a more sinister note; the large institutions knew that the governments around the world would never let them fail.

Weren't Lehmann Brothers big enough then

Well, lets see here...

if often = 1 or often = > 1 then
   Thales = wrong
end if

and on a side note,

if ($aje == "first initial" . "middle initial" . "last initial") {
   $trumpet = "instrument I play"; }
else
   { "I don't know what I'm talking about"; }

You have proven beyond all of my arguments that right wingers take information out of context and rearrange it to fit their limited understanding.

Bravo.
