Nope. Actually, Greeks work more hours on average than any other country in Europe, have some of the highest education standards and are certainly not the ones to blame for the european crisis. Corrupt politians and bankers have nothing to do with the people of Greece.

I was kidding, I'm Greek. I figured Greece wasn't to blame, but all my uncles and aunts and great-aunts and uncles said when I asked them was that it was the Turkish peoples fault or something. They REALLY hate Turks... I dunno why.

...Well, I'm pretty sure my great-uncle-Christos-whatever-dont know how he's related to me has dementia... but I once mentioned Macedonians to my uncle George and he went OFF at me. I'm half-Greek and I've never met any Turkish people... I want to, though... I've met a total of one macedonian.

Well, we're having the elections coming in a few days but I don't know what is going to happen. Chances are that we're going to have up to 9 different political parties in parliament (they need over 3% of the general vote) but nobody will have the majority vote in order to create goverment...it's going to be a mess.

I don't know which country you're from my friend, but if I were you I'd consider the money lost. They are giving money to people that don't know how to use them or how to fix the mistakes themselves did. Greece needs a goverment of people that have nothing to do with politics, preferably people that are not used to the greek "ways".

Don't sound good. Sorry, I do not know well your system of government. I hope it works out better than expected.

I am Australian. We all need governments that are there for their people, sadly, we don't always get them.

Our system of government sucks and doesn't work at all. As a joke, I've always been saying that if we're going to pump the oil that we have in the Aegean sea then the United States will bomb us for sure because we've got everything all the other countries that they attacked. We have corrupted goverments,we have angry people ready to start a revolution,we have oil,our army sucks and if we get into a war it will be over in a day plus by the end of this decade we'll be as poor as these people were and most possibly out of the EU (so this won't be a problem).

I am seriously thinking of leaving Greece and moving to the UK. Maybe I'll get paid less but at least I won't have to be here when the shit hits the fan

Come to Australia mate, you will be welcomed with open arms. Greeks have been coming here for years, from way back in the 50's, we love our Greek citizens, they helped us build this great nation. Is Australia perfect? 99%

lol Actualy, no country in europe is in much better situation than Greece, it's just that the shit haven't hit the fan yet. Spain is going to be next,then Portugal and Italy and who knows what is going to happen after that. It;s a shame that this is happening because the people are not to blame for the crisis. The goverments and the damn banks are to blame for everything.

of course. unemployment, low salaries, the basic needs so expensive. sure the governments and the banks are to blame, but the ones that get screwed over are us. as far as portugal is concerned we've had only bad politicians, we threw out our prime minister and replaced with..well something else. there's really no one good enough to vote for.
i'm particulary sad for greece, it was a place i wanted to visit for a while.
we'll all go down(well maybe except for germany -_-), but i try being positive and thinking this can't last forever! they say this will be the worst year.

yeah, even if this IS the worst year, we don't know how much better will it be for next year. and yeah i thought about it too, but i don't think there's a good place in europe(if there is anywhere else) to be right now. and right now i know if it goes really bad i still can count on my parents for support, thankfully! sadly, there are people that are not as lucky as me.

Η Γερμανία έχει χρεοκοπήσει πολλές φορές μετά τον Β' Παγκόσμιο αλλά το κάνανε γαργάρα. Συγκεκριμένα, την μία φορά την γλίτωσαν επειδή χώρες όπως η Ελλάδα δεν ζήτησαν πολεμικές αποζημιώσεις εν μέσω πίεσης από τους Αμερικάνους. Αν διαλυθεί το ευρώ λόγω της Ελλάδας εγώ το βλέπω περισσότερο σαν "είμαστε πάτσι", παρά σαν ήττα δικιά τους η δικιά μας. Μας κατέστρεψαν με το να μας βάλουν με το ζόρι σε μια νομισματική ένωση για την οποία δεν ήμασταν έτοιμοι, τους καταστρέφουμε φεύγοντας από αυτή. Το δυστυχές είναι ότι το κόστος δεν θα το πληρώσουν αυτοί που πρέπει αλλά οι δύσμοιροι λαοί των κρατών-μελών της Ευρώπης...

damn But I would call Bulgaria a shithole. It's a bitter truth but now that Greece is practically in ruins other Balkan countries have the chance to take some of the industry. If for example a Greek is paid better to work in Bulgaria, Romania or wherever, I believe they would take the risk, even a short-term one, to come and work there make some money and then come back to Greece. Looks like things are getting reversed

Bulgarians are still better payed in Greece then in Bulgaria. Greeks come here only to buy things, cause they are cheaper (like gasoline, goods and stuff) or to study here (cause it`s cheaper again and our diplomas are EU ones now)
Bulgarian and greek people aren`t so different actually, our standarts are

I totally agree with you and that's why I believe that the terms will change and that Bulgaria and all other Balkan countries will actually have higher pays and better living conditions than Greece in the next 10 years or so

nylonboy89 In reply to Sc1r0n [2011-12-31 00:41:03 +0000 UTC]

I don`t think so. You see, the political situation in Bulgaria is really way more complex then the one in Greece (I monitor what`s happening in Greece really closely) and I can`t explain it to you in just one DA comment. I hope the polititions who made this things that happened in Greece to be sued.

But you`ll get over it, you are balkan people after all. We survived so many threats like the ottomans and the commies and many many more.

You`ll see that this crisis will pass like all the others did

Well, they were tolerant with their own people and because "Greece" was actually something like the USA, different laws applied to different cities so we're talking only about Athens here. If you'd have to choose a time period, the "Golden Age of Pericles" would be the absolute best at 500BC

Athens always did seem more down with my kind of proclivities than other city-states. Once I build a working time machine I'll be sure to punch up that date (and probably never come back!)

Sadly, even if mankind ever builds a time machine we'll never be able to travel back beyond the point of inventing it No matter what time really is and how we understand it, going past that point would create a paradox Unless...somebody has created it already back then
