Bankers like 'Teenagers'

FionnK86

Bankers have been likened to teenagers by one of the country's most senior financial regulation officials.

Fiona Muldoon, a director at the Central Bank, told a conference of leading banking figures they appeared to be in denial, paying lip service to solving the debt crisis.

Reverse the hearse here, teenagers don't cost their parents €3.5 billion, this is a stupid statement...im a teenager...i dont cause trouble. Clearly Ms.Muldoon has discriminated teenagers...yet another reason to leave the country when I have my degree!!!:mad::mad:

Maybe you should actually read the rest of the article. The reference made is due to the bankers not showing any kind of leadership and just grouping among each other doing nothing different than before they received the bailouts.

That's characteristic of a teenager amongst peers. They'll usually do the same thing as in, every single one within a peer group is not as likely to go out and do something different from each other.

If they are all into football, they'll be envolved in stuff with football.

Music, whatever type of music.

But the people who are meant to lead the banking industry are doing the exact same thing. They are peering up and just doing more of the same before the bailouts, which lead to a need for the bailouts and further bailouts. They are in affect "Leaderless" which she also stated in regards to no-one actually going out to do something.

That's my understanding of her comments.

I heard that on the news too. I'm a teenager and I had no problem with it. Why? For one, I'm not overly sensitive about the teenager stereotype. Secondly, I'm fairly certain that she said "troublesome teenagers" and not just teenagers in general.

Yeah but why not troublesome adults?

I guess you could argue it's discrimination, but society accepts discrimination like this it seems. I don't really take offence, even as a teenager.

Wouldn't be the first time I've heard bankers described as a 'shower of ****'.

Because unlike adults, troublesome teenagers have a unique brand of "I'll be a dickhead if you be a dickhead first". :rolleyes:

Central bankers do tend to be angst ridden teenagers though.

While the supposed adults of the banks have a unique brand of"I'll be a d1ckhead and put our children and their children in debt, because other bankers did it first:mad:

Anyone else misinterpret the title as one suggesting that Bankers like teenagers, as though they're particularly lucrative demographic for them or something?
