Jan 17th, 2014 - 08:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0Normally, I don't spend my precious time talking with Rutabagas but:
Statistically speaking, 1.5% and 28.5% are close enough to be the same.
If you had any mathematical capability, like me, you'd see, there's no difference.
Great, but what why is it you lot insist keeping your growth rates in Europe lower that your inflation rates?
Jan 17th, 2014 - 08:30 am - Link - Report abuse 0Is it a new tactic?

@1 Are you trying to be funny or are you just brainless?
Jan 17th, 2014 - 12:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@3 Bet you don't have a job, do you? If you did, you'd understand, statistically AND mathematically, how little difference there was between the 28.5% pay increase you asked for and the 1.5% you got.
@4 Is this today's tangent? If you read the article carefully, word by word, and researching the hard ones, e.g. those with more than three letters, you'd see that the article is all about the United States. Just to clarify, that's the big country between Canada and Mexico on the North American continent. For your next bit of intensive research, you'll need a map of the planet Earth. From that, you'll be able too see that North America is to the left (west), whilst Europe, where all the bad people come from, is the right (east). The big blue area between them is called the North Atlantic Ocean. Very similar to the South Atlantic Ocean, except that it's to the north.
Now, I can't answer your question. However, I can link you to a useful set of articles; http://www.economicshelp.org/blog/458/economics/conflict-between-economic-growth-and-inflation/

Of course, one has to take the data into account. If, like argieland, you consistently lie about the results, you can't see the real picture. If growth exceeds inflation, it's not good for manufacturers and suppliers. They have more goods than they can sell. Classic way to go out of business. High inflation related to growth means there are too few goods. Prices escalate. So does poverty. Around 2 to 2.5% inflation is considered ideal. It's stable.
You lot really feel the need to compare your resource stealing nations with a bunch of developing “3rd world” ones in order to feel good?

@7 Hang on, shitter. Yesterday, you didn't believe the U.S. inflation figures. Let's take a good look at a “leading” latam country. It has, supposedly, incredible resources. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the knowledge, ability or funds to exploit those resources. You have already reached the extent of your “development”. A middling pile of shit. If you can't develop something, why shouldn't others? Perhaps we could give your thieving place 5 pence for every £100 we take out. But that's reasonable. We make the investment. We develop the resource. We do the work. We find the customers. We take the risks. And what do you tossers do? You stand there with your hands and begging bowls held out. I seem to recall some tosspot suggesting the planet belonged to everyone. In which case latam tosspots have no right to deny resources they can't use to people who can. But that's latam. Selfish and two-faced. Strange that “Stevie” (male, female, other, pervert) makes “comments” with no references. Of course “Stevie” doesn't ever research anything. Takes too long. A licence to explore and exploit costs money. That's “stealing”? Hang on, what we want you to do is to spend your money exploring and investigating. Then give the “resource” back and provide a “never repayable” loan so “we” can exploit it for “our” benefit.
Jan 17th, 2014 - 05:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Doesn't this adequately display what an arse “Stevie” is? Pure and simple, he's a larcenous, mendacious shit.
The real answer is to give latam NOTHING. No aid, no agreements, no benefits, no “considerations”, no credit, no grants, no loans, NOTHING. Let the little tossers get by with what we had.
I'd like everybody to watch to see if “Stevie” dares answer this. Weren't the Spanish, and others, “resource-stealing nations”? Didn't they murder at genocidal levels? Anybody think “Stevie” is a brainwashed, cretinous, dumb, puerile, ridiculous, stupid, turpid, uneducated, vacuous yahoo? In other words, a total wanker!

Jan 19th, 2014 - 03:31 am - Link - Report abuse 0It's truly good that you are not in SA with the way you see SA in your rainbow colored glasses. The SA's I know will turn it around.......out of the cesspool the corrupt leaders turned it into.
With any luck......Maduro will have a coupe
Kirchner will have an accident
Correa faded into the assange hole

Jan 19th, 2014 - 10:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It's not. Shit is posted all over the internet and most is garbage shit.
Jan 20th, 2014 - 01:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0Your probably right, but it's not like you guys care for the impressions you leave behind. Media runs the show, and illusions is their preferred guidance.
Jan 20th, 2014 - 01:54 am - Link - Report abuse 0You have quite some issues to deal with up there, I guess I'm no one to judge the entire nation... But it's hard not to, bloody 12 years now...
I have never said the USA is innocent, without fault nor without problems. I have quite a laundry list of complaints my representatives hear from me on a regular basis via email and snail mail. But for the most part this website is generally about SA.....And by “you guys” I am not sure if you mean the USA government, people or posters here, because I care about many things which is why I do post here.
Jan 20th, 2014 - 02:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0To be frank, that depends on my mood...
Jan 20th, 2014 - 03:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0But in general, “you lot” are the posters in these threads which I most often disagree with.
When speaking of particular nations, the lot are the people in those same nations.
You see, it's quite generalising and fulfills little other purpose than aiming at as big a target as possible.
Not because I necessarily believe anything to be that extreme, but the trenches were dug long before I attended the pie party and I could walk in no mans land, pointing at the foolishness of it all, mocking it's loose grounds of existance, but in the other end, the pies wont stop coming...
Such a weak-willed person.

That's because a practicing ”Anarchist“ does not have solutions to things, only criticism of others.

”At least I'm not a hypocrit” - well, you are, you do nothing constructive, while criticising others.
And what do you know about me doing or not doing?
