Bomb explodes outside Bank of Greece.

Harold Weiss · 10-04-2014 09:47AM #1

The Greeks are getting so angry with bankers, they're now planting bombs outside the banks.

Car bomb detonated outside Bank of Greece in Athens

If a bomb exploded outside an Irish bank, would many here would support the bombers?

Protesting seems ineffective with politicians so maybe a few bombs and shootings of bankers would reflect the true feelings of Irish people suffering.

No one was hurt, but setting off any sort of large explosion in a city centre always carries a risk to human life.

I'm perfectly happy without car bombs in my city, thank you very much.

Very few you'd have to hope.

Who exactly are these Evil Bankers? The 1000's of Irish people employed in banks in Ireland? or the dozen or so people who were in charge in the early 2000's. These people who have long left their positions.

Move on with your life please you sad man.

Well, obviously someone that dispenses cash is not a banker. That's obvious to me anyway, maybe not you.

I am sad, bankers make me sad and mad..hell, I'd blow myself up if my life got any worse so bankers, beware

I agree but if protesting doesn't work, maybe extreme measures are required.
After all, that's what bankers do when they can't coerce some dictatorship overseas, they send in the military to oust the regime, blowing up any locals that resist.

Bankers are awful people, the lowest form of human on the planet.

You seem mistaken, there is still plenty of questionable characters in high level positions.

Not all have... and what about the hundreds of people in the central bank and regulators office ... they did not do their job properly but yet they got (well) paid for it.

Yeah that's exactly what Ireland needs, a return to bombings on the streets.

If protesting doesn't resonate with politicians, that's exactly what will happen.
Get that through your thick head.

I don't read tabloids so I'll take your word for it.

Only complete idiots I'd say.

Why is that? What is it about banking that you hate so much? Do you even understand the banking system or are you just jumping on the anti banking band wagon?

BMJD · 10-04-2014 10:04AM

I'd give Jean Claude Trichet a kick up the arse, and I'd probably call Bertie Ahern a little bollix but that's where I'd draw the line.

Harold Weiss · 10-04-2014 10:04AM

Put it this way.

You take a man living through a financial nightmare and he can't support his family or himself. The anger, stress and anxiety just pushes him over the edge and he becomes suicidal.

How difficult do you think it would be to persuade that man that instead of taking his own life, he should take the lives of the people making his life difficult?

Just something to ponder because I know that's exactly what the Greeks are thinking right now. Why kill yourself because of economic hardship when you can take the lives of those causing it?

You see, protesting is a waste of time unfortunately so maybe the bankers will understand violence instead.

Ah, resorting to insults, its hard to win debates when confronted with such clever arguments so I'll have to admit defeat.

But whatever scumbags do resort to that crap, hopefully they'll be caught and I highly doubt they'll have much support from the public.

.

and all the other people that work in the bank that aren't the focus of your stupid actions. Oh and some passers by out doing their shopping, but sure, hey, collateral damage.

You should probably seek help

Oh, the irony in your post.

Support from the public all depends on how much suffering the public goes through.

So it's in the interests of the bankers to remember they're in a precarious position. Push too hard and you'll seal the end of your little empire.

I'd support scumbags bombing some banks, go scumbags!

That'll really solve your financial problems, giving comfort to your family that you have taken such decisive action to secure their comfort and wellbeing into the future. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Get a job.

There was a 1 hour phone warning given because it's the bank that was the target, not people.

NIMAN · 10-04-2014 10:12AM

I have family who work in banks, they didn't cause the global financial meltdown, so if someone planted a bomb outside their bank and killed them I would be more than a little p1ssed.

Blowing up this bank will have zero effect on anything.

Plus, those suffering due to not being able to afford to live, will still not be able to afford to live.

I don't have financial problems nor do I have a family, I'm speaking hypothetically but you're all so emotional about these issues, it's pathetic.

Weak ass conservations with some cash dispensers that think they're bankers.

Good point. I was gonna say that knowing the establishment, they'd probably ensure as many people were blown up by the bomb in order to subdue public support for such actions just like the UK did with Omagh bombing.

So who are these bankers you're talking about? There's a huge amount of different types of bankers, who exactly is your problem with? Or are you just looking for somebody to blame for your troubles, so any of them will do?

You're basically saying you'd be happy to see a bomb go off in a bank in Ireland. Frankly that's absolutely disgusting

You do realise that 99.9 per cent of staff in banks had nothing to do with our banking crisis, and even the few that did don't deserve to be ****ing blown up

errlloyd · 10-04-2014 10:16AM

Arbitrarily blaming bankers for all Irelands problems is fine, if that gives you comfort at night. Ultimately though the greed of Irish people to take ridiculous mortgages was just as real as the greed of the banks to offer them.

Bomb explodes outside Bank of Greece.
