Yes, the peasants and the kids lied about their finances. The people who lied have are the wealthy upper class and they will be fine.

Greeks retire at 60+ and get around $500 per month afterwards.

Seems like calling anal sex "Greek style" is very appropriate, cuz I bet hundreds of millions of Europeans feel like they're being ****ed in the ass right now ![rip](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRLSmilies/rip_zpsec10ede9.gif)

Is anyone living in Greece right now? Will they vote yes or no?

Everyone I know is voting no. Both answers will probably **** us, so we'll at least try something different.

A mess. However, Greece cannot grow with deficient demand. If Greece had its own currency then fine it could borrow from savers and then recycle it back into the economy but it can't.

Most Greeks with a ''job'' are not getting paid AT ALL. So to say Greeks are being lazy is a very ignorant understatement.

Why? Greece has until Tuesday to sort its crap, if the central bank cancelled its aid it would force Greece to collapse on Monday. Got to give them that last day.
For weeks now the ECB has granted Greek requests for extra aid, then this weekend when panic starts to hit the population and a bank run has been kicking off the ECB refuses extra funding? Game over for Greece, really.

Honestly, they really shouldn't have, I don't think it's legal for them under their own charter. The rule is that they can only provide support when they think the banks are solvent, which they clearly aren't if they're about to run out of money, and should only provide what can be covered by collateral, which the Greek banks don't have enough of.

Why are you all so pressed?Try living under austerity for 5 years with -25% of your GDP,try having other countries tell you that you're lazy,when you work the most on average in Europe,try suggesting that there should be a move to growth and employment, instead being suggested of more austerity.Yes,it's mostly Greeks' fault that the situation is so bad these days,but all the European have acted like bitchy sisters,instead of helping solve the problem.

Not for a very long time.
One day physical currency is going to become obsolete, at which point we'll have a universal virtual currency...but at the minute the weaker are bringing down the stronger rather than the stronger bringing up the weaker.

Some of you people still supporting EU, who accepted Greece's suggestion last Monday, then turned it down asking for higher taxes to people with low salaries and lower taxes to companies that get millions. It's pretty obvious what they're trying to do. How can you not support Greek people who have been suffering for years now? Protest, go out on the streets, it's ridiculous. This is NOT how EU is supposed to work. They're trying to end Greece. And it's not just Greece, there are a lot of European countries that could follow. Wake up, this "union" does NOT support Europe, it supports 3 or 4 countries that will keep getting richer and richer.

I am not surprised tbh. I have been to Greece several times these past 5 years, always in summer and it often happened that people simply didnt came back to work after siesta at all. I understand that it was hot and they were tired, but there has to be at least some work ethic, you know. I also understand that people who work outside had shortened working time due to hot weather, but this was the case also with people who worked in air-conditioned offices in banks or posts. It was not like that in Athens or Thesaloniki, but in smaller towns like Kiato it was sometimes a huge problem and I hadnt seen any improvement at all.
Also, there were several countries like Spain, Portugal or Cyprus which were coming through very bad crisis, but they accepted what has to be done and took the steps they needed, lived through few hard years and now the situation has stabilized. Only Greece is doing problems, simply because they dont want to lower their living standards. I come from countries where the average wage and pension is much lower than in Greece and yet we financially helped them like almost every EU country even tho we were in the middle of economic crisis ourselves. Yet Greece refused to do what they agreed on for the help. How should we feel about it. We give them our money even though we have much lower living standards and they just take them and ask for more without making changes in their system which would allow them to come out of crisis. And they are even pissed off on us for trying to help to adjust the system so it was stable without producing such debt. I dont even know what to think. I just am sorry that it came to this.

You can't blame every single individual for the crisis in the country. Blame the government and the faulty system.
