I would like a Superman game done like the Arkham series!

@nordicblue:

First, no one is required to give you anything.  You don't demand respect, you earn respect.  It is not Germany's fault that the Grecian politicians are corrupt and don't seem to care about their constituents as you say.  All of the reasons that you mention are nobody else's fault.  This still doesn't change the fact that other Europeans countries should not have to foot Greece's debt bill.  It is as raphjd said.  Those European nations who were bailed out by Germany and the like should thank their lucky stars they decided to do so.  That situation could have been entirely worse had they not done so.
@raphjd:

As I previously said, I don't really know much about Spain's situation.  HOWEVER, Greece's situation has been well documented in UK news documentary shows (Panorama, Dispatches, etc).

The southern European countries that are having a hard time now had extremely early retirement ages.   Even after severe reforms, they still retire 4 years earlier than the rest of Europe.

They also had grey economies through tax avoidance on goods and services.

Job related benefits were outrageous, compared to the rest of Europe.

Despite pretty decent economic growth (prior to the global economic meltdown),  the national debt was skyrocketing.   The year before the global economic meltdown, the Greek national debt was 105% of their GDP.  Their GDP rose 4.3% but their national debt rose 7% up until the global economic meltdown.

Bailing out other countries has meant higher taxes and service cuts for the countries that had to do the bailing out, yet the countries that got bailed out are angry with those that saved them.

All of these things are direct benefits of the people of these countries.   This is why you won't see much pity from the people in the rest of Europe.

Oh, please, my ''dear'' one. Don't be so obvious.
I got the point that you don't like Greece.
The greeks have earned the right for some respect because they are trying to correct the mistakes of the past.
Even Merkell has admitted that. She said it herself.
Now, if you do not respect the fact that we are trying, then you are not anymore ''right'' than the ones you try to downgrade.
I didn't ''demand'' anything, i simply asked. There is a major difference between asking and demand. You can't see it?
How about you that you? You are demading from the rest of the users to have a negative point of view for poor countries, especially Greece.
Let me tell you, whatever you believe it or not, that not all Greeks are corrupted or lazy or money shacking leeches that you try so desperately to pass us by.
These countries decided to show th better part of themselves when they decided to help us, Greece helped many times, in WW2, in humanitarian crises and others.
Tell me, nordicblue, what does make you when you are trying to downgrade the efforts all the greek citizens have made these past years?

Thank you and let me wish you whatever you desire to become a reality.

I'll had that the overlook on the paralel economics and the corruption is startling, the people should not been paying or called lazy for the bad management… this countries are under a strict policial circle, the political class knows that the people hates them.

What are you stating is true but that is for the old generation of greeks.
The current generation, the one I live, has to face the sins of the older generation in every conceivable way.
I am a nurse and our health system suffers from the lack of financial resources, we are working overtime which we are not paid. The stuff also suffers from the lack of personell. Weare paying our taxes, the low citizens that is, we are paying our bills. And let's not touch the subject of unemployment. Many of us have degrees and diplomas only to decorate the walls of our houses.
For this generation of greeks, a small amount of respect must be shown.
We are trying and i think it is pretty unfair to blame this generation for the sins of the old.

Ομοιοπαθής, φίλε μου! ;D

Someone give me a sec to pay Optimus Prime a call. ;D

Some sportist guys… Cristiano Ronaldo would be wonderful lol

Do you really want that?

:poorthing:

:angel2:

Yeah! Paper Mario was an entertaining game.

So what?
This thread is very insulting because the people of BOTH Spain and Greece have been making many sacrifices in order to pay all these taxes and cuts that Troika has forced us.
I get it, you do not like Greece, and possibly you do not like Spain, as well but everyone has acknowledged  that both of these countries have made whatever it is humanly (and not) possible in order to recover and this is something that even the politicians of Germany have acknowledged.
I really want a mod to step in and lock this thread. It is downlooking a very sensitive matter of my country and other crisis stricken countries and it is handled in a very disrespectful manner.

Isn't there a mod to lock this preposterous thread?
It is insulting to every Spanish and Greek member of this forum.

:zing:

Hmmm, then i must be confusing him with someone else from the RE franchise.

@nordicblue:

How can you be a cub if you are 34?  ??? ??? ???  A cub is usually a younger version of a bear and/or the counterpart to the daddy.  Daddies and cubs.  I would call you an otter, then.

34 is old? Since when?

Anyone older than their 20s is approaching daddy status, if not that, then definitely not a cub.  34 is not young.  Typically daddies like young guys i.e., the early 20s.  At least that has been the case for me.  I have typically been the cub with a daddy in his 40s who is wealthier.  Cubs are also taken care of and generally financially cared for by the daddy, 34 is too old to be in that situation.

Οh, i see where this is heading.
Well, let me inform you that i am not feeling that old and that i am financially self supported.
The rest of it is up to your point of view.

Isn't the water of the waterfall cold?
