Greece is falling apart! LIVE VIDEO

[Darren S]

Well our country is next. Thanks to the current conditions in our government. My son will not live the way that I have, ever. Thanks jackasses on both sides of the isle. Good luck to the rest of the labs that have survived since 2010 elections. Amazzing this country has not had a budget since Obama has taken office. Enjoy your tax hikes and more spending. If you don't see it, you are completely stupid.

The Greek prime minister has vowed tough action to save the country's finances in his annual speech on the country's debt-ridden economy.

"We will push through all the major changes our country has needed for years," George Papandreou said in Greece's second city, Thessaloniki.

Public anger over cuts boiled over into clashes between police and protesters and more than 100 people were detained.

At least 20,000 people joined the protests in Thessaloniki.

Trade unionists, students, anarchists, taxi drivers and football fans were among those holding protests outside a trade fair in the city.

Greece is struggling to meet the terms of an international loan package.

Olympics, Plato and his Solids, Socrates, Art, Science, Math, etc etc...

Good food as well.

They contributed just as much or more to the wealth of knowledge of mankind than any other country today.

Much to be proud of. Pothagoras, Aristotle....on and on...

My country has contributed a lot in many fields . If I started writing names of great men who were Greeks , I wouldn't stop .
Unfortunately , today things are not so good . A proud country is bullied by other countries such as Germany , Austria , Holland etc . The sadest thing is that the only people we should blame for the current situation is ourselves . For the past 40 years we were voting corrupted people to represent us in the parliament . People who got rich by stealing our money . People who voted laws to protect them from justice , to be untouchable . People that made us what we are today , the lepers of Europe .

I love ancient Greece . I have read Homer , Plato , Socrates . I am a fan of ancient Greek mythology , of millitary genious such as Alexander the Great , Miltiades and so many others . What can i say about art ? If you ever visit Athens , go to the Acropolis , buy a book and read about the technical details of that building , you will be amazed . When I look at the present day , I can't see anyhing I would be proud of . So sad .

When we see such news, our hearts go out to you and your country. My greatest fear is that we are not so far behind. We too have politicians and "leaders" we wouldn't trust with our credit card or co-sign a loan for, yet we are foolish enough as a country to vote them in.

Really????? I always thought that government represents people,another words Greeks elected those who reflected their interests and lifestyle. it is always easy blame someone else for all mistakes instead come and look at the mirror. I live In California which it is to me as Greek- like state,the only difference that we are lucky that all other states will going to bail us out eventually. No offence.

Trust me , goverment doesn't represent me . Current or past goverments . I am 27years old , and can't think positive about my future because of them . If you read my post carefully you can see that I am writing ''The sadest thing is that the only people we should blame for the current situation is ourselves'' . I am not excluding myself or my family and friends . So what are you talking about mirrors ? Believe me I have seen the reflection in the mirror . Don't believe everything you see on the TV about Greece . We are not as lazy as they are making us look . In fact we work more hours than anybody in Europe .

I have seen in the news about California that the state has a big debt , but I don't know much about that topic . No offence , and none taken .

I was not pointing on you personally,I am 42 years old,lived in both systems[socialistic and capitalist] and I know what I am talking about. I ' d like to live in capitalist system. When I was about your age I always thought that world around me is not fair. I grow up, got married,got kids and everything changed in my life-vision too 180 digress.Your life just started.

That is funny,somehow my ex comrades in Ukraine where I grow up saying the same.If your statement is true your Country's economy would be like Germany's. Working hard doesn't mean working smart and again, I don't know you personally,just saying.:ballchain:
