I think most of Europe is asking why they should be paying the Greek peoples taxes. Europe see Greece as fun loving drunks who have #ed there own country up and now want every one else to give them more money so they can keep the party going

The question is why was Greece let join the Euro when every one knew there economy was a mess. Perhaps it was to stop them running to Russia.

Am I the only one who doesn't give a # about Greece and if they're in Europe? Sick of hearing about it in the news.
Maybe that's just because you don't understand the importance of the issue or the consequences this will have on other countries?
And don't think the US or UK are immune from those consequences either. If Greece leaves the Euro it could cause a major problem in the markets, and cause other European nations to start to distance themselves from the Union.
Lets also not forget the meeting the Greek PM had with Putin less than a month ago. If Greece finds itself in dire need of financial help and Russia is the only one willing to lend to it, there will be a trade-off, and that will impact all of Europe, and the US, along with NATO.
