This is what happens when the mandatory retiring age is 55, and you raise a country of lazy bums.

I feel bad for the greeks, Id hate my country to be in that state, hope it all ends well, would be better for everyone I guess.



Michael-5 where are you reading all this nonsense?The retiring age over here is 65 and it always was like that.Lazy bums?Guess you never read my post.People here work way more than poeple in any other developed country.And also get paid way less and overtime stays unpaid.Now they are lowering wages ever more too.And prices are higher than the rest too (the highest in Europe at least).But ok it's always EASY talking about things you DON'T know, cause you don't live here and really never cared to learn cause it doesn't affect you (for the meantime).

Meh, Greece is known for its great ruins...My 2cents, Germany is calling all the shots here as they will be the biggest loser if the EU breaks up..They have a massive export advantage due to the EURO Zone and their banks hold most of these fragile countries' debt.

Well just because you were great in the past does not mean your forever great.

Italy is the root of the most powerful empire in history, The Roman Empire.
However Italy has been a joke country for a while now. However with Grown up leadership taking charge, things appear will change.

The problem with these countries, Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece is the govt is too large but a country that does not generates a far lower level of tax revenue then the Northern European Countries.

The Scandinavians can give all these services as they tax their citizens to death.


My whole point is, Greeks are far from stupid people like mentioned in post.  They played major (read:only) role in european development of science, astronomy, mathematics, language and philosophy.

Stupid is as stupid does. For the last decades the greeks have voted for two parties who had the same policy: bribing for votes by unchecked corruption, incompetence and nepotisme.



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

It's stupid to claim that a country was more (something) than another.
Middle East and Africa are the cradle of humanity. Greece, Italy, France, and England are the mothers of modern civilizations. The big U.S.A. are the modern train. Reborn India and Cina maybe the future ?
Each developed country influences others, and all can be acclaimed for the contributes and blamed for mistakes.
Please stop to write bad things.

I feel sad for greek people :(

..and for my country.

I don't know how a videogame is able to do that.
