I think UK should give Indians, native americans, native australians, native new zealanders and etcetera back the money and things they stole from them... British people are most likely going to say that it was not their choice to take that from them and they weren't even alive,
but why do i (an icelander) have to pay alot money to the UK because some men from Iceland stole it from them? i'm only 14 and i didn't even know about these banks!
because the world in which we are living is NOT fair and never will be!!!
British ,American doesn´t matter all the imperialistic states are getting veeeeery upset when they are treated like they treat the rest of the world , GO ON ICELAND!!!!
@audveltadmuna I wouldn't say the bank stole it from them. The deal is pretty transparent, and everyone knows that banks are not holding on to your money, but rather lending it out to risky business. If people want safety, they can't require interests from their banks, but must rather pay for having an account.
The people who want you to pay are just greedy bastards, and they are the thieves who want to use your governments law and police force to make you pay.
@gilbydinho85 It's a bank or something like that that went broke and the Icelandic government has to pay around 4-5 billion dollars to the UK and the Netherlands. I think 4-5 billion dollars is almost half gross domestic product of Iceland.
The Icelandic people owe nothing to anyone. It was an oligarch of bankers that messed up. Why is it presumed that the people, of any nation, need to bail out bankers ....... I'll tell you why ...... it's because these bankers own the respective politicians arses and they will pedal any old shit that the general public will believe .... there's a "new world order" coming and you aint gonna like it ..... neither will I.
@Severin68 banks in iceland didnt mess up the rest of the world ... youre taking everything out of proportion. they merely stole some money from the british and dutch wich the icelandic people never got to see ... plus the icesave bank was a money laundering scheme for some russians ...
@IridescentEye the first time i see a comment that is possitive, hope all other fuckers who blame us for it should just get a fucking life, and learn to know wtf happened
Iceland... make nothing but Gold and Silver your incoming Currency and see if it ever looses any value... and if it ever does. then this whole world is in a world of shit.. and you will still have your fish to feed yourselves.
The Dutch royal marines, together with the Royal British marines will invade Iceland to steal back all the stolen money. And to shoot all Althing members.
they didn't stole your money you given to them for the interest that england neither holland cannot afford to pay to you . I would say mea culpa mea grandissima culpa.
I was luckily clever enough to withdraw my money from the Ice save account, just four days before it closed. Just did not trust these people. I heard rumours, which proved to be correct.
First at all, we Dutch have Euro's. Pound sterling is a British currency.If all Icelandic people are as ignorant as you are It is rather logical the country is now totally Bankrupt.
@AndreasAntoniusMaria Thank for enlighten me. From visitng the Netherlands on several ocations I had no idea!! Wow. Great comment. What ever you do, dont invade Iceland with your drugs and red light districts. Please. Do the old fashion dutch coloni style as you did with so many countries. And for your infomations. I AM SWEDISH. Men det skulle du nog aldrig kunnad gissa..
@AndreasAntoniusMaria Ok. I take that back. Your comments are ment to be funny I guess? Anyway. We all have things we are not proud of in our country. I understoood your comment too, kinda like Swedish there. Hälsa morsan.
Propaganda can make people believe in fairy tales! P.J. Goebbels proved that very well. Your country is bankrupt due to its lying central bank, lacking control of commercial banks by the Icelandic central bank and a gross overestimation of the possibilities of the Icelandic banks by the Icelandic central bank. Pure incompetence, thats the truth. Calling names will help you none.
For the incompetence of the Icelandic central bank you will pay a terrible price, that is the truth, not a joke. Offcourse Iceland can decide not to pay the foreign debts. By doing that the country will follow the example of Argentinia. The only disadvantage will be that your country will get no more loans anywhere in the world. That would lead to a valueless Icelandic currency and total poverty and no possibities to import any luxury goods for people without foreign currency.
Why the fuck should we fucking pay them when it was those idiot owns lost the money, they are the ones who should pay not the rest of iceland. so shut the fuck up you piece of shit.
I am sorry for Iceland. I agree that they cannot pay back all the debts created by the Icelandic banks, even when they are obliged to do so under international law. A fair compromise is needed. No one benefits from a bankrupt Iceland.
@AndreasAntoniusMaria uh, that argument doesnt really work since playing the game hardly points the way to a luxurious and prosperous future, does it? "luxury goods" are going to be the least of many icelanders' problems. argentina may even be a good example to follow, considering it's managed to comfortably recover from its crisis in the space of a decade.
That Argentina comfartly recovered from its crisis is a fairy tale. My sister lives there; never seen so many extremely poor people. And indeed, most Icelandic people will be very poor in a decade (and longer) due to the economic policies of their government and lack of control on the banking system.
@AndreasAntoniusMaria argentinians are no worse off now than they were in the 90s. pre-crash argentina was also obviously much bigger, with numerous large endemic social problems. whereas iceland is perfect and tiny, but broke
and i was attempting to indicate that icelanders being able to import "luxury goods" if they refused to deal with global debt collectors isn't really much of a threat considering what the alternative, i.e. the route they're assumed to be on, is. shit vs poop.
@AndreasAntoniusMaria Anger, when you talk trash about the ICELANDIC people, not the issues, and I feel you need to view this from a broader perspective, get more info from other sources. I just don't like your attitude. It really is a big tell about a persons level of bias. So, please don't waste any more of my time with your opinions, because they ARE A COMPLETE waste of my time, time I use to inform myself, & do the work of looking at a situation from all angles, then form opinions.
@AndreasAntoniusMaria incompetence does not describe it right ...lack of regulation is more like it. The men taking our money do not care about their reputation or about our lives ... they thrive only on getting more and more for themselves.
@911Dagur I would just like to point out that it is not lack of regulation that is the problem, but rather the fact that governments are actually guaranteeing the deposit of money into banks that are then using the money for their investments. When (very predictably) banks get into problems, the governments always helps them. This creates a moral hazard. If one bank does not play, it will loose all customers. Who wants to pay for a savings account when you can get interests from others.
The glorious Dutch army will invade Iceland and make it a Dutch penal colony. We send all our criminal moroccans to Reykjavik as a punishment for the Ice save Vikingnation.
@AndreasAntoniusMaria ... I can only imagine what a stupid and il informed person you are! There is an old saying, if you have nothing nice to say, well... I would modify that to if you have nothing of intellectual or reality based info to share, then shut the fuck up! Oh, and by the way, you can keep your criminals and other less than positive contributors there, in your neighborhood I hope. Maybe you will run into one of them in a dark alley, Karma, dickhead.
Ponzi scheme, transparency....but the Ponzi scheme is only the real scheme of a normal bank all over the world. That scheme is blamed because the banks want the copyright..sorry for my english..from Italy..
