Uhmm, Greek people deserve this? Its the goverment you can blame, not the first regular greek guy with a family or business..

I can make you sure that the Greeks supported everyone (according our strength) that was on in need. The best example that i can give you is the earthquake in Turkey some years ago (an ancient enemy to the Greeks) how much Greeks tried to help. I am sure that the older Turk managers can back up my statement.

As far as about what we are talking, its not about Greeks, its about humans that they suffer...no flags here...

Greeks are well-known from not paying taxes. Goverment has biggest budget deficit, which was in some way continuation from not paying taxes (less money in budget), however they still spend too much they could afford (about 15% deficit). They emit high interest bonds, which should cover their debt in short period. They just lost their financial liquidity.

@ Maupster - the goverment is selected by people. Goverment represent's them. It's called democracy. If I know well and I'm sure about it Greece has such a political system.

How can you call what we have in Greece ''democracy''? has our prime minister elected by the people? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-eAL8jSNHI

Thats exactly what i am saying man...Greece is just the beginning...

He cares for his money, not for the country! I think the people of Cyprus hate the people of Greece.

Come on, be serious....If you have no idea about Greece and this issue, just don't participate in this thread.

If there is a serious attempt to not have a political discussion here, I think we can keep this open. I don't know if that is possible with this topic, let's see. It however must be possible to refrain from nationalistic and racist attacks to keep this thread going.

This thread should be closed. When we speak about economy (Greece) there is always reference to politics. It's connected with themselves. It's not natural disaster when we can really symphatize to such as: Haiti (do you still remember?), Philipinnes, Japan and other countries. I do not enjoy such debate, because there is always a bad guy in such conversation, however he tell the truth and I think I'm that person.

There is no reason this thread to be closed yet. GM-WallyOop stated the rules and if we put aside politics, there is no problem.

You seem that you might have a problem with Greeks. You accuse them of not paying taxes. Do you know that Greeks work more hours in average than any other people in Europe? Of course you don't or you neglect it.

Look. Of course Greeks have been foolish for many years, because they kept voting the same parties and politicians, who finally deceived everyone. Of course there is a big number of Greeks who don't pay taxes, because the Greek law is unable to arrest them. You can blame them for all these. I blame them as well. Actually personally you can't, because you pay nothing for us. You should have in mind that there are many Greek people(like me) who are obliged with this situation to leave their homes and go abroad to study or work.

Do you think that it's only Greece that has a debt? There are other countries of E.U with higher debts. I hear everyone accusing Greece for the bad economic situation of eurozone. That's ridiculous. Greece is such a small country, unable to make all this mess in its own. Wait and in the near future, there will be more countries in Greece's position if nothing happens. Greece is only the start. There are many people in European governments who make money from this "crisis". This crisis is not people's fault and we shouldn't have any conflicts between us, even if we are Germans-Greeks-French-Italians etc. People in all countries should be united, because there is a big game played between our governments. Just open your eyes...
