99% Have Fuck All Anyway

NINETY-NINE PERCENT HAVE FUCK ALL ANYWAY

MILLIONS of Britons last night realised the collapse of the banking system meant nothing to them as they have no money anyway.

Many people's savings have Dolby Surround

As Gordon Brown unveiled his latest multi-billion pound guess, people across the country said not only do they have no savings but they do not know anyone who does.

Tom Logan, an IT consultant from Peterborough, said: "I've got a £3000 overdraft, a £17,000 car loan and a mortgage the size of Canada - does that count as savings?

"I always assumed that if the banks went down all my debts would be cancelled and I'd get a free house."

He added: "I think we should let one or two of them collapse. Just to see what happens."

Charlie Reeves, a salesman from Bristol, said: "Why do we need banks? I'm more than happy to pay cash for my lager and my cheese products. And the guy who sells me knocked-off Bulgarian pornography does not - and never will - accept Visa."

He added: "Who the fuck is saving all this money? Old people? Is that it? We're going through all of this for old people?

"Can't we send them all on a cruise during which there would be the most appalling 'tragedy'?

"Then we'd just have lots of half-pissed, cheese-eating porn fiends with a wallet full of tenners.

"Why not?"

"Hey guys, we couldn't bear being the only ones suffering, so we thought we'd pile it on you too. Sorry about that... well actually we're not really sorry, fuck you all. Where is Iraq anyways? God bless America!"

Well..US is the epicentre and the entire world is feeling the ripples. Asian Markets, European markets and US ofcourse.

Capitalism should end.

[Elliott 7]

What would we do rather than capitalism?

Capitalism where we allow the rich to use their riches to make themselves even richer off the back of the poor... that needs to end.

Wrong.

Capitalism allows rich and poor both, to become even more richer. The very reason why the crisis happened was because housing loans were given to people without any decent credit ratings and history, who did not have the capacity to pay them back. In a short run, it is good for everybody, in the long run, its like a hot iron rod up your arse.

The entire structer is privatized and hence so screwed up. A central economic governance needs to be implemented to take care of the entire economic structure. In short, Socialism should replace capitalsm.

[Elliott 7]

I don't see why I am wrong in my statement, but I see your point with the socialism.

Thing for me is, you give one person, or a few people, power, and they'll abuse it. That central economic government would abuse their power, I'm sure. It's just a fact of life. People are greedy.

This is why communism didn't work. Ppl are greedy by nature. Some more than others, but regardless thereis always some1 looking to screw everyone just to pad their own wallet.

After the bailout of AIG was announced, most of the executives went to a beach resort in California and spent a 1/2 a million dollars in a week!

Well....You'll find such money grabbing greedy bastards everywhere. And Talking about communism, you just have to look at the progress China has made inspite of not being good at speaking or writing english.

Corruption is more rampantt in democratic countries than in communist. I am not advocating communism here, no ways. A semi socialist democratic culture is what we need.

x2. I paid cash for all my luxury items.

[misschief 24]

What's a luxury item? :huh:

[Elliott 7]

Presumably items one does not need yet still desires

[misschief 24]

Obviously haven't got any of them then.

[pablo814 1]

My big screen and fast food r my luxury items of choice. I suppose booze could fall into this category, tho I feel that it is an essential item for survival.
