Skyrad 0 #1 November 2, 2011 Got to love this article, it concisely explains the situation with Greece and Europe today. http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/international/greeks-punch-gift-horse-in-the-face-201111014490/When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

Marinus 0 #2 November 2, 2011 I think we as Europeans just should go to Greece, cut it loose from Europe and push it to the other side of the Mediterranean pond. I think it would better belong there. I'd rather be doing something useful with my money (like using it to start the barbecue with or using it as toilet paper) then tossing it in that bottomless pit, btw.

Except that they're in so much debt and they make so little money that they will never pay it off (Even if they felt like it) I recon that the Portuguese, Spanish and Ireland all have their fingers crossed that the Greeks will bring down the house of cards before they do. Greece's only hope is that China buys it as a holiday home.When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

Marinus 0 #7 November 2, 2011 Quote Greece's only hope is that China buys it as a holiday home. It might also be a good idea to just give Greece to Germany. They pulled off the "incorporate an economically unsound nation" trick before 2 decades ago, and passed it with flying colours. Of course people are still a bit sensitive about Germany occupying other nations, but if they leave the swastikas out this time, and if Merkel keeps her moustache cleanly shaven, I think the whole of Europe is prepared to look the other way.

Skyrad 0 #8 November 2, 2011 Thats the problem Tony, if they vote no then you will be billing them out because they simply won't pay and we can do nothing about it. They owe us Billions already, if they leave they won't be coughing up as they simply don't have the dosh. What will be left for us to do? We've already confiscated their marbles.When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

Marinus 0 #10 November 2, 2011 Quote Except the Germans are generally hated in Greece due to mass executions during WWII and the fact that Germany waltzed off with all the Greek gold during the war. I know, my cunning plan needs some work... Quote As for your comments on Germany, just come out and say it... "Give me back my grandfathers bicycle!" Actually it's usually: Halt die Klappe und gib mich meinem Fahrrad zurück (spelling/grammatics?) or in Dutch: Hou je bek en geef me mijn fiets terug (Shut your mouth, and give me my bicycle back) Granddad is optional But how the hell, did you know that one? that's indeed a rather classic statement but not widely known outside of NL, (me thinks). Or it was, anti-German sentiment has subsided for the most part, I think, but then again I'm living close to the German border so that could make a difference.

Well, we did whined about it a lot, but then again, bicycles are an important part of the Dutch identity. Much more so than wind mills, cannabis, wooden shoes. tulips and Hansje Brinker sticking his "finger" in the "dike". Taking away our bicycles is worse then taking away fire-arms from Americans. So yeah, we moaned about it :P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
