I don't understand how their protests are going to help them? You can't fix an economy through protests.

I think it's more like an urge/plea for politicians to do something. Nothing is gonna be done if they just sit on their asses. Someone's gotta do something

Well, to be fair, when times r good, it makes sense. But who would have expect the economy would have a meltdown like what we'r having now.

I expect Portugal and Spain to follow shortly and then UK, Ireland and Iceland as their bonds get demoted. All of a sudden, that $61 billion bailout a few weeks ago sounds like a great deal now. The soaring government debt worldwide is a huge issue.

they want a 160 BILLION dollar bailout from the EU, yet all these idiots wont work because their wages are being cut and taxes increased

So you want a bailout, and your country to get out of the red, yet your not willing to settle for a little less to make things work?

hmm.. sounds familiar..



Fuck the euro and the european union, these vast unions/currency just fuck good/wealthy countries right in the ass and devalue their currency to the brink of nothing

I have relatives in Scandinavia who feel the impact of this whole greek situation every day, yet their countries are profitable and not in debt whatsoever, yet they are the ones asked to bail-out a have nothing place like Greece? Major industries which are prosperous have to lay-off employees because they are taking a hit from the bailout package, and Greece is only the first of many this is going to happen to

If a north american union was ever imposed i'd say BC and Alberta split off to form a new country and become amongst the wealthiest nations on earth, why let some mexicans who literally have nothing in terms of value completely devalue our currency?

Yes, it will have an impact on all countries. Fucking assholes. Just when we were on the road to recovery.


Japan isn't far behind. They are so fucked over there, too.


The only difference with Japan is, they'll figure something out and their people will rally to the cause. A lot of pride over there. Something some other countries lack. Nuff said.
