My analogy is just fine as it depicts the way I see something. You can say I'm wrong, but I get to choose my analogy. I was apparently wrong. I'm going to post in the other thread in a while.
Of course you can choose your analogy, but that doesn't make it a good one. Props to you for recognizing that the operation of the monetary and financial system with respect to banking is not like an internal combustion engine in a car. If anything, the traffic rules would be a better analogy. You'd have to make them dumber, but you get the idea- bad rules and a bad system can lead to bad results.
Oh yeah, that makes sense. My way of describing my viewpoint is wrong! nu-uh! Uh-huh! nu-uh!
Ooh, an insult! I have been maligned! (maybe bobcox2 can recognize that)
If your analogy, your way of describing your viewpoint, doesn’t do a good job of that, it’s bad analogy. I don’t know what else to tell you.Snickersnack said:
You think that’s an insult? Let alone one from me? I'm insulted. You should talk to AJ. :whistling: I mean, you seem new to the OTF, but man... Giving a guy props is an insult? What has this place come to? :coffee:
And it only applies to deposit-taking financial institutions, I think. That's how it is here, at least, I think I heard that it was the same in the US.
Trust me, if I am going to insult you, it will be extremely obvious. Maybe I'll get to the sarcasm after that, or if you have a terrible record, but you really have to earn it. I can see how it might seem like an insult, but trust me, around here, it's a compliment.
Not even that simple, IIRC.dondrei said:
Damn your ignorance. Laying the blame on any one political party for this mess is about as logical as blaming individual mortgage holders.
You mean you're not just blaming Republicans? I can roll with that. Could have fooled me though.
This may shock and confuse you, but not everyone is a one-party voter.
You're an idiot. The entire stock market is built on confidence.
