Religious discrimination

[RogueHanger]

Well on the lloyds site it's on the bullet points of the product. I'd agree and imagine that there may well be other ways they'll get their money back like restrictions on the overdraft limit plus possible 'charges' for using it that are equal to or greater than the interest that would have accrued, ie not interest, which is bad, but something like interest but not called interest therefore acceptable. I would have expected though that if you offered the minimum balance as an objection to the discussion you would have looked at the account first, though everyone makes mistakes.

I'm only too willing to admit my mistakes, and if you think not looking at the advert for the account is a mistake, than I would not agree.
It stands to reason that the bank is not going to offer interest free accounts or mortgages without finding some other method to make it worth their while. I don't need to read the small print or the advert to know that much.

Well, posting without any background understanding of the topic has never stopped you before so be my guest, I was only trying to guide you to becoming a more constructive poster.

You may construct your view of the world by reading adverts but most of us have sufficient experience of life to be able to form a reasonable understanding of a product without finding it necessary to read the small print.

Q- Who thinks the bank does this without a profit?

Maybe in this case, it should be a prophet.

Eurogoon didn't get it

Did someone squeak?

Ahh, yes it was that little mouse in the corner. Obviously a timid, backward mouse. Probably got it's tail trapped.

This was my reponse two days ago:

I wish it was.
If they did I'd be investing heavily, on the basis of them foretelling the future.

But then again, we shouldn't expect much from timid, backward mice, whose squeak isn't heard for two days.

A bit of a lame response. Are you tired from all that dictionary munching?

 

[RogueHanger]

A bit of a lame response.

Do you know why dogs carry their tails between their legs when they're running away?
It's so they don't get stepped on, or caught, by the tail.
Mice don't have that amount of inteligence and are often caught, or trapped by the tail.

Sometimes they are strung up by the tail to display their lack of intelligence.
You've been well and truly caught out at the tail end of a discussion!
Was that because you're a little lame mouse?

 

[longdogs]

That's better.

Thanks

 

[RogueHanger]

That's better.

Thanks

No worries.

Have you ever thought why it is that I attract so much flak from a few posters?
I think it's because of my vehement anti-racist stance.
Now why would anyone object to that?

An anti-racist stance is racist as it highlights race. A non racist stance of not even recognising race is where I'm at. I'm not racist in the slightest (unlike you).

An anti-racist stance recognises that there is a problem and looks for solutions.

Now what you really mean is that you don't see any problem.
Therefore there is no need for a solution.

There is a problem. (Recent high news reports ) You just refuse to accept it, or think, it wouldn't happen here, in UK, France, or on GD forum.
It has, it does and it will continue unless we take steps to stop it.

Don't be silly. If I go into a shop and see a black man serving I'll just ask for what I want, say thank you, and leave.

You go in and say, "Oh I see that you are an ethnic minority. I won't hold it against you, in fact, I'm all for you so I'll stop giving my custom to the Brit up the road and will in future give my custom to you".

You turn and walk out of the shop feeling mighty proud of yourself.

The shopkeeper thinks "Tw*t. I know I'm black, I don't need that pompous idiot patronising me."

Gedditt yet? Nah! You probably never will.

I'll tell you what I do get, you make absurd assumptions, joe.
Quite a volatile imagination for one so short-sighted.
But then you'll never realise it.
But the sad part is that you not only believe in your imaginative world, you commit your imaginary thoughts to public scrutiny.

Oh, but then again, it's not the first time and it probably won't be the last.

Now I'll make an assumption. You probably thought yours was a clever and witty retort.
Enjoy it. I neither have nor want a part in your imagination.
However, after a silly comment like yours I'm happy to be a part of your nightmare.

Interesting , joe, that you don't see a black man as a Brit and vice versa.

 

[joe-90]

Neither do I see a white man, or a gay man etc. I see a shop keeper. Gedditt yet?

No you silly man. You are looking for race issues. You are obsessive. It's a sort of mental illness that you have, but mentally ill people can never see their mental illness because they are mentally ill. Never mind, I'm sure you'll survive.

No, it's a chip on the shoulder.
