I love my European friends, but I've long since stopped bothering to try to expose them to free thought. .. I'm agreeing with you. I was talking about monkey. Frankly, I'd forgotten that you were European 8) |

Either way, this doesn't detract from the fact that the sub prime crisis in the USA and the collapse of the Lehman brothers caused a worldwide recession, doesn't matter how it's reported, those are the facts. ... except that those are NOT the facts. The facts are that many countries, including your own (and my own of course) had badly mismanaged their finances for decades. No one thing caused the recession, unless you count "not understanding basic economics" as one thing. |

It wasn't worldwide if China wasn't effected. Iran, Poland, India and China didn't technically enter recession  |

Right, because you guys aren't crazy left wing. Your conservative is our liberal... Great now this becomes an argument about perspective. |

(It was called a global recession by just about every economist ever, sue me for using their terminology) I didn't make the comment due to your use of "Global recession", I made it because nobody mentioned that Iran, Poland and India didn't enter recession, China was the only country being mentioned. I care not if you say Global recession or majority of the world recession  |

I have no idea what that is, but it sounds like alcohol. If it's whiskey, I'm in. |
