04 Dec 13 - 05:22 AM (#3581318) Subject: RE: iceland wrires off debt From: GUEST It should be noted that both Iceland and Ireland are on the up and up being now 13th. and fourteenth in the World whilst England has slipped to sixteenth and has now been on a downward trajectory for some time. If they lose Scotland with its oil and other exports they will be further downnrated by the money moguls. |

04 Dec 13 - 03:58 PM (#3581493) Subject: RE: iceland wrires off debt From: GUEST,tot From the 2013 Worldwide Prosperity Index :---- UK. 16th. place---down three places from 2012 Iceland 13th. place. Ireland 12th. place. UK credit rating downgraded to AA+ from AAA on 22/2/13. This took place one day before a document, prepared at great expense to the taxpayer, and prepared by Westminster for the NO campaign against the YES side in the forthcoming Scottish Referendum set out dire warnings for a downgrading of the Scottish credit rating should a yes vote occur. Naturally this document had been widely leaked by Westminster to create a greater sense of fear in the populace as previous and subsequent papers from the same source have attempted. Such messages of doom produced by an organisation which cannot even forecast what is about to happen in their own back yard are worth thousands of votes to the YES campaign. Needless to say the complete print run had to be pulped amid assurances that "lessons would be learned". As far as can be ascertained no dismissals took place following this fiasco. |

04 Dec 13 - 08:56 PM (#3581588) Subject: RE: iceland wrires off debt From: Bill D "IF a name is supposed to be included why does the system permit anonymoys posts?" One reason is because blocking some IP addresses is almost impossible without blocking the innocent. Another is that major code revisions would have to be written in order to require a membership or distinct name, and the real expert code writer is no longer with us. Deleting totally anonymous 'guest' posting in the BS area was tried during some of the worst times, but the mods simply could not keep up, and even trying caused confusion in the flow of posts. So..Max seems to have decreed they not try unless posting was really egregious. That does NOT mean it is polite or friendly to babble on anonymously...especially when several What used to be the rule and is still requested, is that everyone use a consistent name, even if it is not a registered one. It is a fair request.. it still allows anonymity... and it is polite- not that some give a rats ass about politeness. |

04 Dec 13 - 09:06 PM (#3581590) Subject: RE: iceland wrires off debt From: Jeri Bill, I agree right up to "cowards". What I think happens is some very stupid people don't know whether they should agree with a post or disagree if they don't know who wrote it. Knowing a person's identity saves them the trouble of understanding the message. If someone's being obnoxious, it's a different thing, but most of them are less obnoxious than the anal-retentive "I MUST KNOW WHO YOU ARE!" types. It CAN lead to confusion when one isn't sure which guest they're talking to, but they could quote the bit they're responding to. My main feeling on this is that most of the time, the argument against anonymous posting is far more disruptive than the anonymous posts. Take this thread, for example, which was intended to be about iceland wriring off debts. |
