The Greek people are not in debt, the Illuminati installed government is and they need to be tried in a court of law of the land.

Germany and France can go and get farked. When Germany was wheel-barrowing its worthless cash in the 20s and 30s and then started a murderous war in the 30s which killed 70 million people, Greece forgave them their debts after the war to rebuild. All this despite Germany stealing 70 billion dollars of Greek gold and murdering 700,000 Greeks.

GREECE DEFAULT NOW! DO IT! DO IT NOW! (Taken from Arnie’s quotes.)

Good idea. Shutdown on Friday. Print Drachmas over the weekend.

Then restart on Monday.

Good news: Greece won't have to make extremely high interest payments anymore.

Sorry, we failed. We are jumping out of the Euro. Good luck!

We are starting over and reorganizing at the same time.

No more band-aids! Bye!

you are joking right?

Who is going to accept this currency from a bankrupt government? They'll still owe 100 billion Euros - which, converted into drachma that no-one trusts should be in the quintillions........think Germany 1923 or Zimbabwe 2007.

ATM they are paying what - 7% or thereabouts? If they did this they'd be up to 200% overnight I reckon

Yeah - band aids won't cut it (sic) - they'll need a coffin instead.

Like any country that got saddled with an even larger debt thanks to IMF/World Bank/Some Other Bunch of Evil Money-Grabbing Bastards ever helped? Ooops, I mean bail out of course...

How about those 13th and 14th monthly pay bonuses??

Why dont you go to your boss and ask for a lower salary...like lets say about 950 dollars per month!!!
Thats about the median salary in Greece, now going down to around 600, and the price of living is probably more expensive here than where you live.

No offence...could you live like that?

Yep.

And it would suck.

But that is reality for Greece - they have overspent massively for years, and now they have to pay it back - just like you or I would.

Why should they be allowed to over-borrow and get away with it? do you think you or I would be allowed to? Or is it OK for them to do it because they are a country?

From what I see of it, its just a big game.
Theoretically Greeks are the least submitted as people because of their mentality, and the game is to submit them.
The thought behind it is that if the Greeks are submitted, then they can submit anyone.
I believe its a sort of experimentation, that if it works out, then they (whoever they are) will continue on a global scale.
They are also in such a hurry because Greece has many minerals (plus rare ones), gold and uranium in its soil, and generally its floating on oil.
Greece also has 3 or 4 very large pockets of gas that are 95% pure. That means that its ready for use.
So in the near future, even if they go back to the drachma, because of the oil, it wont really matter. The drachma will have its strength because of what Greece will be able to offer.
These are some of the reasons...
