Thanks, Greece!

The avarice and greed of political / economic has led us here.
The die is cast, the fall has begun. But no one is safe. The time will going to put everything in place.

USA plays with advantage because it prints its currency all he wants, and the world accepts it, unbelievable but true! (for now).
 
When the Chinese stop buying, nobody will buy ruins  anywhere.
 
Countries should be able to produce its currency without interest, instead of borrowing from central banks so that they create money from nothing and lend it, charging a high interest in this, unbelievable!
 
I also want to do this!!

I wish I could figure out what you were saying GK.  Who is the "new world order?"  What is the "global currency?"  Whose "conspiracy" will be true or false?
 
All I know for sure is that Greece's election (and to a lesser extent) France's move left is killing my investment portfolio.
 
Why ISN'T this the fault of the Greeks wanting to screw the world for all it's done to support their overly generous social support system?

Nobody is going to fall gkaros.  The beauty of history is we can learn from our mistakes.  America could have fell into depression in 08, but bailed out Detroit among other things which saved us.  China will not stop buying because that will halt their economy.  They need to keep moving and they realize if America or Europe fall into economic meltdown mode, they soon will too.  Global economy.
 
As for this neo-nazi in Greece, startling comparisons to Hitler.  Don't see the Greeks letting that happen though.

Unfortunatly yes Flyers....8% of the votes went to extreme right wing, neo-nazi's, and those idiots dont realize they better get all noses pointing the same way otherwise Greece will fall for sure. If they dont live up to the demands ( no other choice for the Greeks, but their pride stands in their way ) of the EU & IMF they will fall.
 
Regarding the riddles Blazo writes about the US....yes the US was on the edge as well ( indeed printing money ,etc) but they are saved by the bell. They started to use horizontal drilling technics (oil),which we used here for the last 10 years already, and they discovered recently that the US has oil reserves that are twice as big as the reserves in the middle east...and as we all know, oil rules the world, so the US will be back on its feet soon, and oil prices will start to drop next couple of years, this will change everything ( again ).

"respect" for business and "lack" of corruption ????? On which planet do you live Razor ?   You are kiddin' right ?? Like i said, US is saved by the bell. Yes you were in big trouble ( tough times, as you put it) , so anyone with more then 1 braincell would probably NOT invest , and there was no chute untill this surprise came along. So the bellsafe was not because of investments as you put it, but by having unexpected oil resorces.......one would almost start to "believe" the US is favoured...
 
PS;  "succes for all time".....also funny Razor  

I don't think everyone is brainwashed with "American Exceptionalism," stray.  In fact, I hope I see some in my lifetime.  When I read "of our respect for business, meritocracy, and lack of corruption," I think I had the same reaction as you, stray.  Be lucky you weren't drinking a Pepsi as you read it, as mine almost came out my nose!      

Razor .....stop saying that....LMAO !!!
I dont know how old you are and what you've experienced so far, but believe me the US is just as corrupt as the  
African , Central Asian, Soviet and European countries. The only thing is that in so called "developed, or educated" countries the corruption is covered and hidden. In other countries its more obvious and those governments simply dont care about (international) public and political opinion. Trust me , politics are dirty and corrupt, we all know that. And sorry to say, especially the US with their never ending hunger of being the so called "world leader" is corrupt to the bone. This will become a never ending thread, and in fact we are getting of track since the topic was about the crisis in Greece/EU, but just some examples of (political) corruption"Irak" ( no weapons of mass destruction  )....or lets say  "Iran" , (illegal weapon deals) , enrichment of politicians and top managers covering each others back getting loaded by deceiving everything and everyone ( see one of the previous threads: medicin, same brand, same amount costs in Mexico  $ 0,75, in the US $ 200,- and this is a proven fact ) Some call it "business" i call it corruption. Its simple Razor, if money is involved and people have a change to make money, there is corruption. And if there is no corruption (yet) it will be created just to get whatever the goal is.

thats right Razor, everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion...
maybe "scholarly research" says otherwise, my opinion is based on personal experience and undeniable facts as mentioned in my previous mail.  I guess you must agree that these "facts" are indeed undeniable.....or not ?  
Anyway, enough said about it Razor....
