QUOTE(Herschelkrustofsky @ Thu 9th December 2010, 8:44am) The irony, dear friend, lies in the fact that the UK claims already to be Christian, and in fact possesses a quasi-theocracy where the monarch is also the head of an established church. Clearly the Christian thing to do, is let the Irish go fish, as happened in the potato famine. (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/rolleyes.gif) It beats the Cromwell treatment, at least. Though I think it's safe to say that while the Irish are in trouble, they're doing better, relative to the UK and Europe now, than they ever have in history. They just spent themselves broke with retirement and entitlement programs, like the rest of Europe. And business is bad all over. Ouch, but that can be fixed. It's not like their kids are so short of vitamin C that they just sometimes fall over and die. Which used to happen happen to the Irish not that long ago.

Bear in mind that Ireland doesn't want or need a bailout. It's the banks that are bankrupt, and most of them aren't even Irish banks. The Irish are being asked to take a truly staggering cut in their standard of living in order to co-sign a bailout of foreign financiers. Banks don't really have a nationality, they are global. They are the parasites feeding off the body politic. They need to be destroyed. Oh, yeah, that's a brilliant idea. And replaced by what?

Oh the horror. Yep. It's like the idea of a "world without governments." Except no such thing can exist. They guys with the most guns are always the functional goverment, whether or not you grant them the title. And it's the same with the guys who have all the money. They're "banks." It doesn't matter if you don't want to CALL them banks. If you want to borrow money, you still have to see them. There have always, in that sense, been banks in the modern world (at least since we've had writing and money). Do you know where the word "bank" comes from, even? It's the same root as the bank of a river. Or a board. It was some guy with a table, on which he put his money and you put a paper with your signature.
