    yes the words on the lips of the crowd that got us into this mess

    "we've turned a corner"

    For pity's sake please don't fall for that , as I have just read somebody did

    What they DON'T tell you is the "corner" that we have turned is actually one of many, situated in a MAZE WITH NO WAY OUT.

    Remember that the next time you hear these words

    AND DO THE OPPOSITE TO WHAT THEY TELL YOU

    I turned a corner going forward and got lost in a maze that was of systematic importance. It was alright though because I found the cheapest bank bailout in the world.

    The only corner we have is the one we've painted ourselves into.

    if you turn four left hand corners you are back where you started.

    going forward, i think we'll have to accept that turning 4 right hand corners will leave you in a similar starting position as the one outlined above.

    No you'd end up at the fourth corner whereas you started at the first corner.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,941 ✭✭✭thebigbiffo


    jesus i wish boards could put a 'no stating the country is screwed' policy in place on here.

    i'm doing fine thank you very much, as are 99% of the people i know - even those without jobs...

    His status as a weak, tediously overused meme would unfrotunately limit his effectiveness as a medium of political change.

    lets say we're defining 'screwed' as in 'non-recoverable' for the sake of this poll ok?

    seriously, does everybody on AH who talks down the country to this extent really think we're 'screwed'?

    personally, i think we're just underoing a re-adjustment, we've turned a corner and going forward we'll be in a much better position ;) :P

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,080 ✭✭✭Gunsfortoys
