    Spatulas do indeed exist, you can see them & hold them, but a bank does not exist, it is just a piece of paper you cant see a bank, or hold them or touch them, they are a fiction. e.g can you see a NAT WEST or a BARCLAY no but you see a building

    You could say that about any company then oh it's just a building.

    "It is a collection of individuals and physical assets with a common focus and an aim of gaining profits"

    Hey strawman what do you do to make a profit ? everyones out to make a profit in this world and thats just the way it is and thats the way it's going to stay, zeitgeist etc are interesting but nothings going to change anytime soon as with human nature, we all want more.. Everything is money motivated ! We will be extinct by the time humans realise !!!!!! we have done to ourselves and this planet if not by an asteroid then by us !!!!in about with our planet, we extinct many species, we rape earth for its minerals, that won't last, nature will take over and show who is boss !! Enjoy it while it's good..

    A Landlord, things are begining to change, look at Greece, the USA are going to b next, things are money motivated, be some people are being very very very greedy, the banksters, they are making huge profits off other people, how are they aloud to do it, just look at the bonus` they are getting, if we took control would you give yourself that sort of bonus! I wouldn`t be able to sleep at night, all i say is just take enough dont be greedy.

    p.s on my second babysham

    Well i agree about the bankwanks who get huge bonuses and rip people off - they are the scum of society, hey look at the tories they are all millionaires, they have no idea how to live a normal life yet they think they know whats the best for us, its easy saying with 40 million in the bank.. they think there right in everything, they are very arrogant and i must say them and the bank managers must have a gangbang every noun and then.

    P.S. 2nd Stella :D

    You're absolutely right, when I walk past my bank I only know it's HSBC because of where it is, the sodding great "HSBC" sign outside is just an illusuion...

    I agree, but they are there to represent us, we vote for them, they are suppost to listen to us, and do as we say, they are our servants, we all know there is something wrong with the system, and I think I`ve got a very good idea what it is, once again look at greece, the people did not want the Austerity Package, but the government just went a head, giving no thought for the people who put them where they are, and the people have got to repay the Billons back to the IMF while the fat cats sit in their offices laughing at them, this is not a government system it is a money system, did you know that David Cameron is a company! and Nick Clegg is a company! The United Kingdom is a company! the Houses of Parliment are a Company! all the courts in the uk are a company! and companies are run to make profit you can check all this out on companies house and Dun & Bradstreet in fact everything you can think of is a company even the Police!!!

    p.s better easy up on the babyshams I think
