Let the banks fail
Dec. 7th, 2010 09:00 pmIceland exits recession
The bit that is worth highlighting:
Last year Iceland's president Olafur R Grímsson said: "The difference is that in Iceland we allowed the banks to fail. These were private banks and we didn't pump money into them in order to keep them going; the state did not shoulder the responsibility of the failed private banks."
To paraphrase in my own words, since I am NOT an economist: all this money-pumping done by other governments was like putting a corpse in intensive care...

The use of the Internet isn't limited to US citizens you know :S Thanksgiving is largely ignored by the rest of the world and has no meaning outside the US.

I really don't care.
I don't bother much with following a specific band or the original members once they split up.

When working with animal spirits, the animal chooses to come to you. Not the other way round. As far as conjuration goes, people will think of charismatic animals and reject others on the basis they're not 'cool' enough...

Feeling threatened or challenged by someone who is different will trigger aggression.
Bullying won't disappear. Ever. Children and teenagers are very raw and will indulge more easily in cruelty if they dislike someone because they defy the norm.

I can't see any major mistake they may have made in raising me. There is no such thing as 'perfect' parents anyway : mine were loving and supportive which is enough in my book. Especially when I compared with other families. :/

Numerology is to mathematics what astrology is to astronomy and alchemy to chemistry...
In other words, a load of boll*cks.

At last, I have finally managed to see some LJ friends in the flesh this weekend. Really happy to have met you all and to be able now to put faces on your mischievous posts :D
Flying back to Ireland tomorrow and hopefully, I won't have to go to France at least until next March.

It depends: for example, I prefer the film 'Get Carter'(1970) to the original book... Generally speaking, there are situations or twists in a written story that can't be shown visually in a film. I accept that and never expect the film not to stray from the original story.

I enjoyed listening to this and wished to share :)
It seems to have been composed as an unofficial anthem for the World Cup 2010 in South Africa, by the UK artist Bretto From The Ghetto.

If it's true, it makes me wonder what some animal activists are fed with...
A 'guardian' means someone who's legally in charge of caring for a child or, even an adult who is vulnerable or otherwise incompetent to take care of himself. Animals aren't children or vulnerable adult human beings. I don't know what to suggest to replace 'owner' but surely, there are more important and pressing issues regarding animal rights, than replacing a word that is fit for purpose as far as I'm concerned.

A part d'être un obsédé sexuel, bien sur. Mais ce n'était pas le sujet de ce test.
Mais bon sang, vraiment, qu'est-ce que je suis rassuré :)

I don't have the time or energy to express annoyance at fads, whatever they are... I actually find amusing and interesting to see what catch-phrases are used to express the same thing in different languages.
