The modern day banking holiday in Cyprus....

Levy Link

Given central bank lending at interest in smaller economies, perhaps this is a forecast of mathematical inevitabilities for larger brethren?

Time to hide your money? No interest vs. negative interest

More fruit from the tree of liberalism.

Pretty accurate assessment, I'd say.

Of course you would.

Tell us how safe tobacco use is again.

lol

You can be a dumfk Dan. I never once said it was safe. I presented medical practices as evidence that the whole smear was overblown. I also stated that I wasn't promoting smoking.

so just gfy ............ twice

Awww.

You mad bro?

A person can be wrong about one thing and right about another.

LOL..... There ya have it.

Puppet speaks.

Anyone stupid enough to downplay the dangers of tobacco use is too fuckin' stupid to believe anything from.

Tell you what Jerry - next time you need the straight dope, ask slabby. He's demonstrated his intelligence on many occasions - what with the tobacco danger and punching telephone poles and all. He's obviously right up there with Einstein and Illyrian.

And I thought it were the Irish that were pissed....

I remember when Slaby wrote about the telephone poles, and I always thought that if you had been around at that time things might have been different.

Nah, not with steel spikes wrapped around my knuckles. I mean, we are talking about 50 years ago. Li'l Danny wasn't even around then.....of course if he had been, it wouldn't have been for long.

Huh? slab was punching teiephone poles?? Why were you doing that slab?

BU was/is the last-picked "go long" guy that nobody wanted on their team.

things ain't changed much.......

testing brass knuckles SD

actually was a ww1 knife with steel knuckle ridges

was practicing (not really)

Well?

lol

The phone pole was still there when he was done, so I guess he failed to dispatch his enemy.

Aside from the nonsense following Hank's post, I will add that the idea of the Government seizing ten percent of your current bank account is a sobering thought. Logistically it seems daunting- do they have bank account numbers? Is it just a percentage of a banks holdings? Was there a warrant demanding the bank deliver the info or were the details already known?

Obviously I have only read a few of the articles from web based news but it seems fascinating to me. Is this a history lesson? Should these people have seen it coming? Should WE see it coming?

I would love to see this thread get back to topic.

I guess the phone pole is a secret.
