I just do not understand why you are so offended?
Why do you interpret all disagreements as "being offended." Despite what you think, I'm actually not that easily offended. Easily annoyed, maybe, but not easily offended. (And they are two different things.)
I can understand why you hated advanced accounting, but that does not mean that every other person should be deprived of the knowledge, especially the OP.
You did quote me, which means I assume you are answering me.
It should be made clear to you that no parent company makes an investment in
non controlling interest. If you consider this point with a cool head the idea should register in your mind.
I KNOW THAT!! This has nothing to do with a "cool head." I didn't suddenly forget everything about accounting just because you're getting annoying.
Another party is the one with the non-controlling interest. I might hate advanced accounting, but I DO get the concept of what a parent company is, and the difference between controlling and non-controlling. Despite that I've said otherwise, you still seem to think I don't even get what a parent company is. (I can know what something is without remembering all the detailed rules about it.)
The fact that you think you have to explain such basic stuff to me is rather offensive, yes. I wasn't offended by your first or second post (just annoyed), but yeah, now I'm starting to get offended.
Ten years from now I hope I can have a good laugh when someone talks to you like this. (Yeah, I know you don't understand that comment, so don't bother answering it.)
As usually, you are missing the entire point, which is that ALL I said was that it SOUNDED LIKE from the OP's post that it was referring to an investing end, and therefore sounded like an investing activity. You then posted what sounded like a disagreement to that and
I'm simply trying to figure out why. Especially when you yourself have said the same thing I did. As usually, you are off on something that doesn't even answer what I actually said.
This explanation in not just for you but also for others who are interested.
I can only repeat that you quoted me and sounded like you were explaining to me how this works. If I hadn't brought it up, I doubt seriously you would have started explaining it. So I still think you were answering me, regardless of claiming the info's there for everyone's benefit.
Why do you always have to make everything so very, very difficult all the time?
