Iceland's government topples amid financial mess - GoFuckYourself.com

Haarde, who has been prime minister since 2006, said he would officially inform the country's president later Monday that the government had collapsed. (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090126/...iceland_crisis)

Okay...then what?!?

Might happen in Canada today too.

notime · 01-26-2009, 10:43 AM

People are just mad at banks & governments around the world.
I am not surprised.
That happens when you touch peoples life savings....

uno · 01-26-2009, 10:48 AM

The president needs the PM to tell him? He hasn't figured it out on his own?

I'm pretty sure that Sleazy Dream had something to do with this, in reaction to Iceland canceling the Snow Gathering porn show there a few years ago...

They were going to have to change the name of Iceland to something like Rockland before long anyway due to global warming.

That's a little inaccurate... or at least misleading.

There's a difference between a collapsed government (Iceland) and a minority ruling party being overtaken by a coalition party to make majority (Canada).

But honestly I haven't been following it, so I really don't know

It just means they will wipe the senate clean and put new bobs in there.

I saw a horrible documentary about people in Iceland, some of whom had taken out loans in foreign currencies. When the krona collapsed, their loans doubled.

Some of those people have lost everything. There were some really sad stories of people living in caravans and some people who had killed themselves. Its really sad and kind of brings it all home especially when some large western governments are struggling right now.

onwebcam · 01-26-2009, 02:09 PM

It's not just Iceland. Bulgaria, Lativia, Greece, Ukraine are the next ones. Riots have already started in the first two. These aren't your normal protesting and riot prone countries. Iceland's case is a rare one indeed. Look into the UK labeling it a terrorist state and seizing their money.

Agent 488 · 01-26-2009, 10:21 PM

was reading an article where conservative, boring, middle of the road, middle class people were finding the political radicals who they thought were dirty yahoos just a year ago were making sense and began to follow them

when the middle classes become politicized and radicalized huge political upheavals go down. next decade will be a giant transformation, for better and worse.

pornask · 01-26-2009, 10:32 PM

Such a beautiful country. It's a shame, really
