O/T, Italy's Nuclear option

[Vladpie]

Really? An heducated man like yourself not knowing what the problems with anecdotal evidence are?

But it's not anecdotal to me Sir.......

[Vladpie]

Are you sure you're not confusing Italy with Spain? When was Italy bailed out exactly?

And here's another for you

It's coming and you know it.
I may not know feck all about banking, but if I money in Italian banks, I'd be worried. Just because it hasn't happened yet, is no defence

Zero hedge is the fake news site that put stories out about EU officials insulting Britain during the referendum last year.

The Telegraph, Vox, and Business Insider articles are all more than a year old.

The BBC article is recent but reports on the Italian government solving the problem, so proves the opposite of what you want it to.

This is almost embarrassing.

What gives you the right to basically call me a liar?

This, as per you little play above, is a hard fact that I could attest to in court as knowing to be true, this is not an anecdote.

You're becoming a bit of a prick mate.

Did you read the definition? Was yours not a personal account of something that happened to you?

Did you actually read that article or just go all in based on the headline?

But it's not anecdotal to me Sir.......

Well, that's fair enough - but you were trying to extrapolate your experience to the wider world which just makes it worthless in terms of evidence.

Freddie Starr once ate Vlad's hamster. It was headline news so it must be true.

The EU has directly allowed Italian banks to be rescued, regardless of how it was done. Governments are not supposed to be allowed to aid national companies with bailouts, that why our government did it by buying shared in HBOS.

A court wouldn't say that if I gave the evidence, they may if it was third hand from you but I'd be a witness just like any other.

Based on what you're saying, any account from anyone is anecdotal, it's not, only if that account is second or third hand.

If I was teaching kids the value of critical thinking in the internet age, I would start my lesson by showing them this thread.

It would be great in helping them to catch out bullsh!tters as well.
