Stupid World

So what about the people that get given money and still commit crime? What about the people that commit non-violent but lucrative crime and then still commit violent crimes?

Exactly the same as those who have billions and still go after even more billions. It's all about the money.

[mashman]

It's called a protection racket. And as I've said before, they can get fukt.

The downside is that these are the guys that write the cheques so that plebs like me can earn a living and buy your stuff. Take them out without managing how you take them out and you will end up in the dark ages, because the entire scheme will collapse. Sure it's a protection racket, but it goes way beyond that innit. Once upon a time it was a mechanism for trade... now it's a weapon... and it's all built on debt, confidence and our ignorance. They can get fukt, but as they write the rules, I can't see who's going to get fukt them, can you?

No dole bludger has ever written me a cheque. And now that I check the memory the only one that ever needed to... didn't. If society had to forgo all spending from every single dole bludger in the country I doubt that there'd be as much as a tiny blip on the GDP stat's either way let alone any dark age.

No, the cause of criminal behaviour rarely goes any further than the criminal, it's just the criminal's world view that enables them to consider anyone else to blame.

I presume you're onto your favourite anti money theme?

In which case you simply need to become less ignorant. Difficult, I know, and I did my bit with a well-turned proposal regarding the risks in borrowing money, but I see it didn’t register.

They can get fukt, but as they write the rules, I can't see who's going to get fukt them, can you?

The only people that'll be fukt are those that borrow money. Specifically, those that borrow money to support a lifestyle they can't afford. That'll fuk complete nations, it's fukt several already and it's looking like fuking the UK and several other ex 1st world lumps of Europe that think they can still live like they did when they actually generated external revenue. The US is looking decidedly average too, for exactly the same reason.

[scumdog]

or else you and your mates might be future dolebludgers ei?

Don't worry - there's enough stupid pricks and criminals being bred all the time..

[scumdog]

People will find ways to survive when they can't find jobs and assistance is not covering the basics.
This is not new....this is as old as is the world.


In any case, the article does not refer to career criminals, it refers to people that buy stolen food (fallen of the truck we used to call that), because they can't afford the food in the supermarkets any more. (and most likely the odd other good that fell of the truck - ooops)

!

If they gave up their booze, smokes and pokies they might just be able to buy food honestly...

yes, I freely admit I actually enjoyed the tune and may well have to resurrect the "I didn't think I'd like it" (or whatever the wording was) thread and, nahhhh, that's to much...

However as has been posted to me on numerous occasions, I think this is more suitable

[unstuck]

I think you should rename this thread to STUPID HUMANS......cos this world is pretty cool really.

I wasn't talking about the bludgers, I was talking about those who create the money in the first place.

No, the cause of criminal behaviour rarely goes any further than the criminal, it's just the criminal's world view that enables them to consider anyone else to blame.

did you read the article about the blackmarket food in the UK and those who are buying it? Do you think that people might have reasons for committing their crimes? After all, they don't do it day in day out, they get enough of what they need i.e. money to buy the shit they want, then do fuck all until they need more money... then they'll go out and commit crime. Tis the reason they do it, not because they are a criminal through and through.

Nope, I was describing how the current financial system.

The only people that'll be fukt are those that borrow money. Specifically, those that borrow money to support a lifestyle they can't afford. That'll fuk complete nations, it's fukt several already and it's looking like fuking the UK and several other ex 1st world lumps of Europe that think they can still live like they did when they actually generated external revenue. The US is looking decidedly average too, for exactly the same reason.

Which is everybody. Why do you think the Fed needed to pump $85 billions into the economy every month? Why do you think the NZ govt borrowing has quadrupled since the GFC? Name me 1 country that isn't in debt. So the fukt people I were referring to are those who have a fuckload of the money, coz they're the ones who are doing the damage. And just to make that clear, when I refer to damage I am referring to the hoarding the worlds precious money along with the damage that they have caused to industry and people's lives in general. I'm hoping that people have stopped buying stuff and that it gets much much worse, because frankly, the fukters haven't got a fuckin clue about anything other than making money and to hell with the rest of the world... and even at that, they don't have a fuckin clue how the economy works because they don't have a holistic view of it it any way shape or form (or do and just don't give a fuck)

And this is how we treat people because of money.

"Christchurch residents who continue to live in "red zone" areas may have to provide their own generator, water supply, sewerage facilities and roads in the future as local authorities won't fix services in those areas."

A resounding fuck you, because you are not worth the money. Fuck over individuals because they can't fight back... bunch of pathetic bully's that need a good fuckin kickin.

Give people the money and they will not have to resort to crime. Don't and they will, irrespective of how good a person they are.

Then you need to become less ignorant of comprehension.

[Ocean1]

Because it allows them to continue to spend more than they earn for a while. S'ok, you'll be pleased to know the cows are coming home to roost and the hurt will be worser in the long run.

Oh, and the NZ example is peanuts by comparison, NZ's response to the GFC is beginning to be seen as a prudent example others could well learn from.

[avgas]

I found this quite interesting. Shows a bit of the other side.


If you think you're imagine being a refined tool to exploit financial markets.

[mashman]

Then you need to become less ignorant of comprehension.

And my response was in regards to the protection racket thingymajig that was in response to the financial ponzi scheme. Glass houses.

Who's them? And I hope they come home to roost soon as I'm bored watching the world rip itself apart because of ones and zeros that are plucked out of thin air.

That may well be the case, even still, it's at least 4 times as much as it was 5 years ago... and those gains can easily be wiped out should China go tits as it predicted.
