Since the Icelandic government is has a big debt to pay to us Dutch and UKers, it means the taxpayers have to pay more, including CCP.

I'm Dutch, but i don't think the people of Iceland should pay. The few people that ran the scam should instead be hunted down - As it stands now they're getting away scot free. What kind of message is that sending out? Abuse a country for all it's worth, leave, and then let them take care of the mess?

sadly here in the US we not only bail out their companies, wasting perfectly good money that should have gone to NASA(how was AIG more important then getting our asses to Mars?). and on top of that we didnt jail the crooks and let them keep their 7 figure paychecks and the 7-8 figure bonuses.

Not most countries but ALL countries that use money, as long as we use money then we will always have these boom and bust patterns emerging, along with other ills associated with money.
For money to work you need to make profit, the formula for making profit is: scarcity + problems = profit, therefore you/we have little to no motivation to solve the problem of scarcity and/or problems in general, it is only profitable to treat the problems.
In the UK (and you can run your own credit checks if you wish to back this up yourself) every court, council and even some government agencies (DVLA for one) and MP's are registered as corporations trading for profit, this is why they they fine you for speeding/parking violations instead of finding a solution to it, if they found a complete solution to motorists speeding and parking on yellow lines then they would lose the income they have come to depend on. As many of the investers in Icelandic banks were actually UK councils, then it is only money they stole off us in the first place.
Tell them to **** off Iceland.

to be honest. as with the entire financial "crisis" i will fully support iceland's indigenous population if and when they stick that finger up.
the problems were the banks, and the even dumber investors that jumped on unnaturally large interest rates.
in the uk and indeed most of the world, investments are protected by a state insurance, in the uk its up to ú25000 i believe. anything above this is a risk the investor takes themselves.
its not hilmars fault that gordon brown paid out in full amoutns invested, then expecting 300,000 people whose only real economy is fish, an awesome game and tourism to pick up the bill.
one of the main reasons i left the uk for my families homeland of norway was because i REFUSE to pay for the banks. they should have been allowed to collapse; if you have anything over the insurance amount invested, sorry, its a risk you took.
if iceland says no, i support them 100%
and im sure the norwegian state would welcome them into the kingdom should they wish to :)

Typical... If you have enough power and/or connections , you can pretty much get away with anything.
Thats modern day justice for ya.

Edited by: Viktor Fyretracker on 01/03/2010 16:00:33 in short, a good lawyer knows the law. a great lawyer knows the judge. the best lawyer knows which congressmen to bribe err donate to.
*Congressmen can be interchangeable with the correct law makers for your nation.

Unfortunately, if Iceland adopts this approach, the IMF might do something a lot worse to Iceland. Removed. Please keep your EVE signature related to your EVE persona and not that of a real life politician. Navigator |
