Stupid World

[mashman]

As do I - but seeing as both countries would fudge their calcs it did shock me that the 2 numbers were getting closer. I doubt china could lie any harder......does that mean that the US is getting honest?

... I saw an article the other day talking about artificial GDP inflators the other day. I was wondering how much of that was bank profit and salary rises for the management crowd as opposed to on the shop floor. I would imagine the higher unemployment in the US has something to do with it too. Wonder what the mean salary is?

I am responsible for many things, however the prices that people charge is not one of them remember.

Ah yes, the prices "people" charge.

So it's not really you buying those third world jobs, not really your fault.

If you were just a tad more intelligent your hypocrisy would worry you.

As I said

Oh no, I take my share of the blame. Do you?

My "hypocrisy" levels are noted whenever I post... so just molto brainy it is. You still didn't answer the question though... however with your entitlement complex, that's hardly surprising.

this ones better

He does make some good points

bollox just notice link didnt show ......hang on

Jesse Ventura

He does make some damned fine points and yet, as he says, no one is held accountable for the really rather nasty shit they put people in a foreign country through... let alone their own soldiers. I'm amazed that people vote.

Banking - the Greatest Scam on Earth

[jonbuoy]

Interesting.

In November 2012 the U.S. Census Bureau said more than 16% of the population lived in poverty in the United States.
The UN says that 17% of the US population live below 50% of the median income.

Who needs REAL facts figures when you have some punchy graphics and a few sound bites strung together from You Tube to make your point??

the question is, is that median line enough to get by WITHIN your community , you can actually be poor in a wealthy area , and example of that would be the bushman entering a village or city , or Hollywood !

or is that median line , defined as not needing assistance?

Oh no, I take my share of the blame.

And you're happy to accept the blame, based on your own philosophy, and yet you make no attempt whatsoever to address what you clearly see as the cause of harm to others. You're an arsehole.

Do you?

Of course. Although unlike you I don't believe "the system", and specifically "the financial system" is to blame for every fuckwit's perceived grievances. If I did I wouldn't be hypocritical enough to continue using the financial institutions that support it or the currency they deal with. And also unlike you when I do come across what I see as a genuine charitable cause I actually get off my arse and do what I can to rectify the situation.

You obviously can't be fucked.

My "hypocrisy" levels are noted whenever I post...

The conclusion you should draw from that is that you are in fact a hypocrite. It's not something most people would be proud of, but I suppose it takes all sorts.

You still didn't answer the question though... however with your entitlement complex, that's hardly surprising.

I do have an entitlement complex. I believe everyone is entitled to that which they've earned, as opposed to your tired old ranting about how everyone is entitled to whatever the fuck they want.

No, the question's only relevant when you're actually seeking information. You'll read "blame the establishment" in any answer you see, so the question's completely irrelevant.

Heh... no currency outwith that which is printed by the banks is allowed it would seem... not without their cut anyway.

So they were lies then? and you can prove it? otherwise the vid was factual.

And you're happy to accept the blame, based on your own philosophy, and yet you make no attempt whatsoever to address what you clearly see as the cause of harm to others. You're an arsehole.

My philosophy is relatively new to me and until such time as it becomes the norm, I will be seen to be a hypocrit. So yes, I take a large part of the blame for ignoring the situation for the last 30+ years of my supposed adult life. My attempt will take time, you trying to belittle and ad homininining your arse off only serves to prove that I'm heading in the righ direction. Thank you.

Of course. Although unlike you I don't believe "the system", and specifically "the financial system" is to blame for every fuckwit's perceived grievances. If I did I wouldn't be hypocritical enough to continue using the financial institutions that support it or the currency they deal with. And also unlike you when I do come across what I see as a genuine charitable cause I actually get off my arse and do what I can to rectify the situation.

Of course you don't, coz you'd have to re-evaluate everything you think you know. I know this from personal experience, but at least I'm making the effort instead of skirting around the issue and patting myself on the back and singing my own praises. You rectify nothing, in fact you perpetuate what is calledthe charitable industrial complex and do more damage than good. Perhaps Peter Buffet, son of Warren, is more your level. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/27/op....html?hp&_r=4&

When I'm in a position to, I will act.

The conclusion you should draw from that is that you are in fact a hypocrite. It's not something most people would be proud of, but I suppose it takes all sorts.

Why should I have come to that conclusion? Because you said so? I'm not proud of the hypocrisy that I was living, so I've decided to get myself into a position where it is limited as much as possible. However that will never allay the guilt I feel for not having woken up sooner.

I do have an entitlement complex. I believe everyone is entitled to that which they've earned, as opposed to your tired old ranting about how everyone is entitled to whatever the fuck they want.

So stop bitching about the taxes that get stolen from you and the spending of other people's money, coz they're just taking what they believe they have earned and using it to subsidise those who don't have anything. Ironically, that's called charity. You believing that it's a bad thing because it breeds institutionalised bludegrs kinda smacks of hypocrisy when you decide to support a charity that probably contains members of the group you refuse to support. Do you still pay taxes even though you'd rather not? Get the fuck over yourself you hypocritical moron... oh yeah, you can't, coz you're in it for you.

Nice try
The first part of your statement is correct , the rest is not even up to you usual standard .

Big fish.

See I would really like to think that we could change the banking system and everything would be fixed. But doesn't matter where you swim. There will always be sharks, or tiny little fish that leech off you.
If we change money so that the bankers couldn't enslave us, what next? The big fish might turn something else. Organ removal or Child sales.

Paying someone my life in money might not be the best option. But better the devil you know than the one you don't. You think prisoners miss the sunlight? Fuck no! they miss not being fucked in the arse.
Take the bankers money away - they might come fuck you in the arse instead.
