I'm a bit disgusted with the timimg of this recession. They normally start just after the turn of the decade. I'm not ready yet.

It is a bit of a bummer really; we all know that economies are cyclical, but this recession doesn’t look to me like a cyclical recession, more the result of economic vandalism and incompetence on the part of banks. For most of Europe it’s an early recession, not a cyclical one. Here in the Netherlands and in many other European countries, we don’t have a massive house price bubble, huge levels of personal debt or huge government deficits, but we’ve been driven into this mess by the wide boys in Wall Street and the City.Originally posted by expat View PostAnd what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?

Expectations drive recessions, so we do usually have recession by concensusOriginally posted by tay View PostThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

That’s the point. If people can be persuaded to expect a recovery, then there’ll be a recovery. That’s why chef’s gran’s remedy-for-everything of a nice cup of tea is such a good analogy for what’s needed in the economy; something to feel good about, instead of looking at the stock market indices every day (which I’ve never done anyway as I find it almost as interesting as watching bowls.)Originally posted by Bagpuss View PostAnd what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?

Around here, all the locals drink coffee and spend their time getting agitated instead of solving problems. The British and Irish contractors just have a nice cuppa together, work out a solution and then have plenty of time left for posting on CUK.Originally posted by cojak View PostAnd what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?
