Stupid World

This guy is a genius, one possible answer to explain our 'stupid world' . (Yes I'm throwing the cat among the pigeons). Stephen Fry calls God an ‘evil, capricious, monstrous maniac’.

That if he existed we could blame him for our woes? Me thinketh the brainbox doth protest too much about what other people choose to think. Mind you, the way he's been "hounded" over his sexuality, it's bound to taint one's experience .

So we can't blame god because he doesn't exist, but we can blame religious groups. Seems a little odd mashy?

We do, but it does make for a good debate

It seems crazy to just keep pushing Greece further into debt. They have to give the Greeks something to work towards - if they aren´t careful they will end up with a civil war. Best thing for Greece would be to ditch the Euro but stay in the EU - I don´t think anyone is going to let them do that. Surely the German government can remember what happens when you cripple an economy with an un-payable debt?

War of any kind is what the bankers make the most money from - that's why they manipulate and finance them where ever they can! - bigger the better!

A lesson in economics:



Explanation of the Greek Bailout.

It is a slow day in a little Greek Village. The rain is beating down and the streets are deserted.

Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit.

On this particular day a rich German tourist is driving through the Village, stops at the local hotel

and lays a €100 note on the desk, telling the hotel owner he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs in
order to pick one to spend the night.

The owner gives him some keys and, as soon as the visitor has walked upstairs, the hotelier grabs the

€100 note and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher.

The butcher takes the €100 note and runs down the street to repay his debt to the pig farmer.

The pig farmer takes the €100 note and heads off to pay his bill at the supplier of feed and fuel.

The guy at the Farmers' Co-op takes the €100 note and runs to pay his drinks bill at the taverna.

The publican slips the money along to the local prostitute drinking at the bar,

who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer him "services" on credit.

The hooker then rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill to the hotel owner with the €100 note.

The hotel proprietor then places the €100 note back on the counter so the rich German traveler will not suspect anything.

At that moment the traveler comes down the stairs, picks up the €100 note,

he states that the rooms are not satisfactory, pockets the money, and leaves town.


"No one produced anything", "No one earned anything".
However, the whole village is now out of debt and looking to the future with a lot more optimism.

And that is how the bailout package works!
