August 16, 201113 yr Your title has 'lose 50% and you're lucky' in it - I was asking you who said that? That would likely be the thread starter, Ethan..... :rolleyes:
August 16, 201113 yr That would likely be the thread starter, Ethan..... :rolleyes: Woah, sorry dude?! I was just wondering who quoted it - calm your beans. And yes, it probably was Ethan himself, he's Tory after all. Edited August 16, 201113 yr by Santa Claus™
September 5, 201113 yr Wouldn't be at all surprised if there are some people making money off the US being down-graded.... I think we should follow the money, and see if any Republicans or their cronies are coining it in this coming week..... <_> Capitalism is evil, simple as.... Capitalism isn't the problem. The lack of capitalism is the problem. Political ignorance (Gordon Brown thought recession would last just 6 months :lol: ) doesn't help either.
September 6, 201113 yr Capitalism isn't the problem. The lack of capitalism is the problem. Political ignorance (Gordon Brown thought recession would last just 6 months :lol: ) doesn't help either. Gordon Brown was a bit of an idiot for assuming that, not even Alistair Darling bought that one.... Not sure how you can say that there's been a lack of Capitalism though.... Seems to me that totally uncontrolled Capitalism (and fraud) is pretty much what the banks were doing when they ruined the entire world economy....

Precisely, capitalism in moderation is still a potentially very beneficial system because money does seem to be what makes the world go round these days. It's when it becomes excessive (ie. out-and-out greed) that it becomes dangerous.

It's when it becomes excessive (ie. out-and-out greed) that it becomes dangerous. These Capitalists always go on about Adam Smith and his "Wealth of Nations", but they deliberately mis-interpret and mutate what he says, Smith NEVER was in favour of uncontrolled Capitalism, he was also not in favour of the ordinary person paying taxes either.. He said taxes should only be paid by the wealthy...... Not a very good Capitalist or Tory was he.... :lol: :lol:

I think Brown just allowed hope to override all the evidence. Thankfully, Darling was more sensible.
