When did you get sick of the debt 'crisis'

ThinkAboutIt

Every bloody day the papers are at it. Not saying there's not a huge problem however I got sick of the coverage in late 2010 and now here we are in late 2011 with the same arguments again and again....yawn.

Have you given up caring what they say?
When did you stop caring?

I decided to think "fcuk it" because I don't want to look back on my life when I'm old thinking I was bothered about enjoying my life by what's happening in Greece and "how it effects us."

Why do the media want us to live in fear?

Just when it went mainstream.

If you buy their problems you'll buy their solutions too.

We've such a **** media in this country who revel in negativity. Even if we win this rugby world cup we'll get bombarded with "such uplifting in these hard times." Just constantly having to frame a positive in a negative context.

Soon enough numbers don't mean anything.

I know what a thousand euro looks like and what it can get

Eighty billion? Ninety billion?
Hard to visualize and these huge sums of money are in the papers so often there is no shock value at all

Way I see it, they got to print something like this to sell papers now that the whole property supplement business is gone.

Seriously, there isn't one single Irish newspaper worth a f.u.ck.

However, there is no 'newspaper licence' & afaik there's been no 'newspaper bailout'... so they can do whatever they like.

I am sure people felt the same in the 30's and it all worked out fine in the end....

We've turned the corner.

I was really stressed out reading constant stories about the crisis, I used to watch and read as much as I could about it.

I remember a thread here on boards from a guy from Iceland who started a thread to explain and discuss what had happened in Iceland after the bailout, nice of him to do that to help allieviate some of our fears.

He said that not a lot changed but a lot of people simply stopped reading the papers etc. and found they coped much better without the sense of doom which came from knowing all the news.

I don't read as much about it as I did but I do keep aware of what's going on, the thing that wrecks my head more so than the government is that no matter what they throw at the country, so many Irish people don't care and vote these scumbags not in and to be honest it's turning me off living here, I don't want to be around people who have so little fight in them and who will moan and moan about the government but won't vote in an election.

What debt crisis? There is loads of money around, it's just that the minority have it all.

Rise up people, Rise.

I was sick of the debt problem before it was a crisis

I got sick of it weeks after it started, every single news item and newspaper article reported on it in their usual sensationalist manner. The media fueled this recession in a big way...there is plenty of money about but people are afraid to spend because of the constant bombardment by the media of recession based news.
