Although this thread does not function under the same strict guidelines as the USPMT, it is still a general practice on TL to provide a source with an explanation on why it is relevant and what purpose it adds to the discussion. Failure to do so will result in a mod action. | ||

But if it makes you happy to think you know exactly what i think about everything already, rather than actually responding to the things I say, well who am i to deny you your simple pleasures. Hell, I don't even know what I think about everything. I'm like, an intellectual and stuff. I spend my time thinking about problems because, you know, there ARE such things as real problems in the world (like this one). What I've done here is to try to share some of my thoughts about things, but I'm not going to type my dissertation into TL all I know is, when they start issuing drachma bonds I'm going to buy one and hang it on the wall of my office. but if you want me to shout some slogans I can do that too. Deleverage everything now! Death to oligarchs! Nationalism against the vampire squid! I have a favorite slogan re: the fascist technocratic project that is the eurozone, but I don't think TL mods would get the humor | ||

- Those that discuss the issues at hand while informed by their own set of beliefs, and; - Those that inform everyone else of their set of beliefs, using the issues at hand as pretext. The former kind is much less annoying. | ||

Germany are now getting strong criticism around the world for their hard approach regarding Greece, even outside sources such as CNN now condemn it, and even Germanys own Media, such as Spiegel calls it "cruelty". Alexis Tsipras has apparently given a ultimatum directed to Germany to withdraw some of it's points or Greece leaves EU. | ||

Add to that that Die Linke as well as Die Grünen (german oposition, duh) are heavily criticizing as well as SPD (Merkels coalition partner). So if we get a deal, whatever it might be it'll at least be easy to get it through parliament in Germany with how everyone hates on Schäuble&Merkel atm. | ||

Promise the moon when you're elected and then once in place you'll have to compromise like any democratic government before you. Same reason why the opposition always has the easy job. It's way easier to criticize than finding solutions. | ||

I am almost certain that we are past that. Tbh if you are not interested in the situation (a tourist for example), you probably haven't realised something is up. There are lines at ATM's and the market has basically frozen but given the circumstances things are calm. On the other hand, there is a huge division among Greeks and if we exit the EU i am genuinely afraid of what will happen. At least this whole mess has backfired in Germany's face. As far as first-borns are concerned, those were part of the first deal, we are negotiating kidneys at the moment  | ||
