With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Lars Christensen. They warned about Iceland's economy overheating andOriginally posted by BlackCat View PostEhhr, what ? That doesn't make any sense.
Edit: well, it does make some kind of sense, but I don't know who that analyst is
got lambasted in Iceland because of it. I think that guy even flew there to
explain himself. I also believe that there was a thread on Apolyton some time
ago about Iceland's economy overheating, but I can't find it now.Comment

But the impact is felt today.Originally posted by BlackCat View PostI came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

Inflation at 12%. Unemployment at 10%. The worrying bankruptcy figures and the fact that they're denominated in Euros.Originally posted by VetLegion View Post
I'm guessing that your view is due to Croatia having seen worse in the last 20 years, but Iceland has been a first world country forever.
This is a tremendous burden for the country. Nothing like, say, World War I was to the UK. But equal to what World War II was to the US.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

The EU should just annex Iceland, make it a EU federal territory in exchange for wiping out the debt. This should also be done to Brussels, but that's a different story.Comment

$138B? That's only 1% of our GDP... we could annex them. The Norwegians love Obama so much, maybe the Icelanders do, too.(\__/) Save a bunny, eat more Smurf!

I was in Iceland a few years ago before all this started and I was struck at the time just how fragile their 'prosperity' was back then, with it being common practice for people to be holding down more than one job and working massive hours just to keep pace with their so-called affluent lifestyles. Seemed more like some weird form of slavery to a capitalist treadmill to me - which has surely been amplified several-fold now that their house of cards has come crashing down...
So, instead of building houses in the Philippines, I say Poly should have a meet in Reykjavik and help the Icelandic economy at the same time!

If only that were the Canadian way. The Canadian way is to do everything the Yanks do, but disparage them for their Americaness, and boast about our superiority in ephemeral matters.Well, Ben have always been a big supporter of the canuck way : kneeling down and suck the US dick
FWIW, I think the EU is a great idea. It destroys european economies, and gives Canada and the US a competitive advantage. Brussels.
