I don't condemn everybody who has worked for a bank, you know I haven't said this.
These institutions have become corrupt at the top, this is widely known due to the long list of criminal activities which still emerge. The executives and perpetrators haven't been punished, so similar occurrences will happen again.0 -
Godwins law
Now show me why a bank collaborating with the Nazis is not appropriate, it wasn't even an analogy it was direct collaboration.Godwin's law itself can be abused as a distraction, diversion or even as censorship, fallaciously miscasting an opponent's argument as hyperbole when the comparisons made by the argument are actually appropriate
It only proves this forum is involved in some sort of immoral PR exercise using bullying and numbers in a clumsy attempt to hide the banks embarrassing past.0 -

It is you that is hiding the banks' embarrassing past by not reading articles before you post them, therefore providing links that do not work...
And I see that you have edited your own post back here after others have already replied to it. No doubt, in an attempt to censor your own embarrassment. Naughty, naughty...
Is not putting another poster's quote into your signature followed by a particular smiley not an attempt at bullying? Where is the integrity in this? I must say that it simply makes you look rather childish.Living for tomorrow might mean that you survive the day after.
It is always different this time. The only thing that is the same is the outcome.
Portfolios are like personalities - one that is balanced is usually preferable.

Um, that's pretty much all some people have done throughout this entire thread!I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.
Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them.0 -

Exactly, so that's the political aspect removed and a huge chunk of the "class war" thing. If only we could stop blaming banks for the holocaust we'd be making progress.

no lying and accusing someone falsely, is bullying like you have done. I suggest you attend to that list of atrocities by the banks instead of launching dishonest personal attacks on people attempting to expose the truth. But I guess honesty isn't too common in your line of work? I don't converse with posters who deceive in this cynical way, you are filtered.0 -
This whole thread should have ended with this post from Gentoo365.

Exactly. You have edited your post seven minutes after gadgetmind had responded to it, with Thruglmeir's response containing the original text before you edited content out of it. Thank-you for providing the proof to what I said that you have done.

Anyone that tries the links in your [STRIKE]later[/STRIKE] earlier post can easily see for themselves which ones do not work. So there is no hiding place for you from that, either.Living for tomorrow might mean that you survive the day after.

From what I hear from people I know who right now work for leading high street banks in the wealth management arms, they are being pressurised to sell investment and insurance products to clients that are not suitable for them.0
