ATW's 10 points plan to solve the global financial crisis

[AtW]

What else are you in favour of 'cracking down on' exactly ?

Yobs. Any underage person who drinks alcohol, smokes stuff while annoying good citizens should get what they deserve - a couple of warnings initially, but then jail. They don't get out until they prove completely to the parole board that their release is definately in the interest of the public.

But finally I've met someone who knows even less!

Indeed. There seems to be no beginning to his talents.

Classic and apt.

Your 'ideal world' is cracking at the edges, my Russian friend.

Point 1 would catch any of us in our formative years drinking bloody awful cider or homebrew round the back of the cricket pavilion while smoking a joint.

Point 2 would double our numbers in prison, and how do you propose we finance that?

I'm not an economist BTW.

But I am actually. Unlike most on this board I have actually got a very good grasp of how short term decisions result in a long term consequences.

What happens on markets right now is speculative games - hedge funds don't (in general) "speculate" by investing money into new tech companies, or building rockets to get to the Moon for new energy sources, no, they use derivatives on derivatives with idiotic models designed to give them a fraction of percentage extra margine on arbitration or just shorting stocks of companies that are vulnerable due to news - THATs speculation that needs to be dealt with as it is very damaging to the economy that someone who does not produce ***t can actually earn a lot of money.

Well that's me done.

I have to confess to drinking alcohol (Strongbow) when I was 14 - and have continued to do so ever since.

Probably I have annoyed a few 'good citizens' along the way, but only because of my lack of dress sense.

You seem to be an utter Nazi AtW. I think it would be in the interests of the 'public' if you were deported back to whence you came.

Point 1: if you did not heed the warnings you'd get in jail. Fair play here - you'd be warned and you'd refuse to heed the warning. You'd have to deal with the consequences of your behavior.

Point 2: fine by me. I'd pay more taxes for that scum to be put in jail for the rest of their lives. If necessary I'd pull out of Human Rights Act and make prisons like hell - it's not vacation ground.

Why oh why I am not suprised by that

11. Build big gas company and put president of this company in government but with no effective power. Give infinite power to only one person. Make statues/pictures of this person everywhere.

Because you are the sort of autistic simpleton who cannot divorce a person posting on a message board from their avatar?

Maybe I should have a tiger for an avatar. You'd p1ss yourself and run away then I expect
