Socialist lazy parasites whining about hard workers up north.

[Mariner]

What Greece sees as hegemony, Germany sees as a ball and chain.

This will not last 1 year...this detente.

Europe will splinter politically and monetarily...possibly creating new countries, regions and alliances of the strangest sort.

Or, if you read history...predictable sort.

Note to Grease,

Nobody forced you to spend all dat $.

Maybe someone learned in Greek can translate this:

“Don`t look a gift horse in the mouth.”

[federal__reserve]

Is anybody here learning the lesson from Greece?
Too much Debt is a killer!

[GreatRoad]

“summit to find a solution to the Greek problem”
Somewhere I read this story before. It might not end well for Greeks.

He who pays the piper calls the tune.

Once all the Germans were warlike, and mean
But that couldn’t happen again
We taught them a lesson in nineteen eighteen
And they’ve hardly bothered us since then

[Iron Munro]

The Greeks still retire at 52 years of age but cannot understand why the rest of the world just doesn’t give them more money.

After all - they can’t figure out anything to do on their own that would help.

They are no different than the Socialist moochers parading all over America bitterly complaining that someone else has more than they do.

[William Tell]

From the article: "Greece, like every other country in the eurozone, is now at the mercy of Germany. "

Greece, like every other country in the eurozone, is now and always has been at the mercy of GREECE.

They can continue their extravagent spending or spend less. They can pay off their debts or not pay them off. Germany is only involved because Greece NEEDS them to be involved for their own purposes.

[PALIN SMITH]

The Krauts are the 1%!

Time to impose reparations?

We saw how well that went after WW1.

[RayChuang88]

Hey Greece--your overly-generous social services program and government corruption has ruined your country. If you can't figure that out, that's a YOU problem.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Greece is at the mercy of it’s own public employee unions and left-wing government. Blaming the people you need to beg to rescue you from your own irresponsibility is very unappealing.

[dagogo redux]

Does anyone who has given this matter a lot of thought have any opinions one way or the other about the impact these events will have, or should have, on our willingness to fund the Europeans’ financial woes through the IMF, and to fund their defense with 40,000 troops and tons of money we don’t have?

[Varsity Flight]

Now imagine that Greece controlled the entire Euro military and the power to levy at the threat of confiscation, what do you have?

[fortheDeclaration]

Pr 22:7 ¶ The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.

[BfloGuy]

the decision will put the Greeks and all Europeans under the heel of Berlin

Then get off your skinny European butts and support yourselves! Greece should change its name to OccupyBerlin! They want to be bailed out with no consequences.

[elpadre]

same as 1941-1945??

[trebb]

Typical case of "scorn (bite) the hand that feeds you"...

They remind me of one who bums a smoke then calls the brand proferred "crap" - I finally started telling them to give it back and buy their own - oh that's right, you're too lazy to work.

[LZ_Bayonet]

"If the situation continues with no other country being allowed to express its point of view,"

If that country is a "colony" of Germany, as Greece will apparently soon be, it's "point of view" doesn't matter.
