Hello fellows Some Eurotrivia. Greece government first bankruptcy occurred 2400 years ago... Darn, my county mans were beating seagulls with bagpipes on those days. <----- Ou, please notice my nouveau ruby patch ![]() OK, I seem to remember from my very limited knowledge of Greek history that 2400 years ago there was no Greek government per se, but a number of Greek city-states, i.e Athens, Sparta etc. Which one went broke ? I seem to have read somewhere the drachma was the worlds oldest continuously used currency until it was superseded by the Euro. ?????Beating seagulls with bagpipes ????? A waste of bagpipes if you ask me. Cheers

Here is some clip from Average Engineer
----------------------------------------Nothing new under the sun, this is same issue that has now continued 3 000 years here on Europe. South/East will try slave Northern/Western barbarian and will inherit slavery for their children's. Basically it is negative spiral that was started by Alexander the Great. He had this idea that instead of building own society, just slaughter those northern barbarians... Well we know how that ended.. This current situation is direct echo of that negative spiral. There is no any doubt that they lie about bookkeeping, they just tough that they can slave northern barbarian once again. Well, time of that part of time capsule where northern barbarians strike back and roam streets of Athens once again. Always been like, always will be like this. Greece is already on bankruptcy. It is only of matter of gray anymore. On this last deal when those dept were reorganized, 20% of there values was lost when maturity was changed form five year to twenty. So Greece is down.... Now they try to negotiate 50% what is left as form of goodwill... In praxis government of modern Greece does not even try to use scorched earth policy, it do everything to stay as part of EU. As my personal opinion, this is biggest mistake that there is because what happened last week* They always though that they would not be last on line what comes wasteland of Europe, because there were counties like Romania and Bulgaria. But those will be isolated from EU, so Greece will be ultimate wasteland of Europe. Mechanism of this will occur by increasing gray economy, already now Greece is absolutely more African country rather than part of Europe. Their only medicine stay inside of EU, is raise taxes... Already at least 30% of that country's economy is not paying any taxes, so these tax heavens outside of even most uncivilized Europe, will increase their matter of land area. So Greece will be one of those countries where you can rent hold red light district on price of western meal and give hold new meaning to word marahthon... Now it is time northern barbarian roams those streets again and loot best wines that they have offer. Cannon change eternal history so might as well enjoy ![]() * Last week Finland and Dutch use their Veto-right to restrain Bulgaria and Romain been part of Schengen -area. So those absolutely most horrible ghettos will not be part of EU on future, if you going to travel to EU from there, you need to take line on custom.. EU passport will not allow free move between these areas anymore on future... This is actually something that wake me up as political matter.. When Romania gain EU citizenship, there was huge wave of beggars in streets of Helsinki. Of course if they have money to travel couple of thousand mail to north, they are not lack of changes. There is not any guest about that those were part of originated crime. On last winter I need to prove myself when teenager girl was put on street corner on arctic weather.. She was suffering physical pains because lack of clothings. I called to police but they told me that regarding Finnish law it is not crime to beg, so they cannot do nothing. I could not drag that girl to warm restaurant or anything, because there is always at lest two mobster patrolling area with car. I swear to lady quite coarsely and she connect me to city child welfare department. I was bounced half of hour from civilian servant to another one before I found one that did finally blow whistle. After that did raise political discussion on public medias that we need to witness child torture on our streets because loop hole of legislation. Well, not any more hopefully ![]() ![]() [Edit 1 times, last edit by ultimaThule at Sep 28, 2011 1:03:51 PM] |

That's pretty sorry to see something like that, especially in the cold. Would have done something if I have seen that over here, after getting some backup, before attempting. Pretty sad to see that in this day and age?

Well, now when started this, might as well end it...
----------------------------------------There has been great turmoil here on Europe for couple of years, this all will be documented like downfall of Berlin Wall... Might just give you some spoiler what did happen here.. Last past years did create era which I would name as era of Frenchman. It was large human experiment to expand French values to dictate as destiny of hold Europe, you know Liberty, equality, fraternity, treehugging, free sex, free drugs, free crime, etc... Those has might been eternal values on wine belt, but here on backwood those was driven out once again by redneck hillbillies and now segregation is very clear even on official political level. When those slum areas was attached to EU, there was this overnight change on Helsinki street view. There was literally Romanian on every busy street corner, this is not something that happened as figure of speech, it did occur literally. This what I'm writing is not personal opinion, this is something that I have and all hillbillies here has been reading from local newspaper. After one year, local authorities did come up revealing mechanism behind of all this. It basically goes that those Romanians who own big money to local mafia, has been given possibility to cope their debts by earning money this way. So mafia drop those peoples to street corners and they make something like two hundred Euros on good day, give all those to mobsters and get six Euros them selves. Beggars did not have wort to live here so they take over empty industrial slot and build Romanian Town on very core of Helsinki. So this has been around couple of years and on very last (this) summer it did reach some ultimate form of Romanian culture. On last summer pop out (this is option of custom agent not mine) that Romanians was behind those odd crimes when people start to notice that somebody has been steel their copper window frames on bright day light. On Sweden they lost copper roofs from churches, etc... I did not personally witness these kind of behavior because I live of West side of metropolitan area and this is land of most hard core redneck who did have very clear solution on very firs year. City counsel did come up idea buying obsolete cruiser and use it as refugee camp if necessary. There was not necessary for refugee camp here on west ![]() So literally what happened here on Europe, would be same if you would remove every borders on Americas continent. So this my war again child torture was rally nothing new, but I have to say that I'm very proud that I'm first person who did bring this up with own name. I'm very glad that my name did leave this mark to local history. I can say this for sure because when I was reconnected to child wealth ware department, they did not have any clue how to continue. People on there are those zeppelin kind of old ladies who put flowers on their hat and have always learn to call polices on these kind of acute issues. But now local police did get them to order to clear streets and they were well on this time that they need to face very hard core criminals who does not count human life wort of anything. So first lady was speechless with me, it was something that she was never faced before, but did know for sure that is she hangs up with me, it is last thing that she would do on hers work history. So she did reconnect me, and she did reconnect me jaadijaadijaa. Finally I did found somebody who was not able to reconnect me anymore and did need to clear streets. After this I start rocking boat and wrote also to several senators. There were very gracious about what I wrote, so I was quite aware that there were collecting material for big picture and will put some hard ante on this matter for future. Well, poi did they put some heavy ante. Romania and Bulgaria in now isolated from EU. Most oddest thing on all this is that spearhead of all this, was local Christian Democrats party. They are very minor party even here on backwoods, but they did put hold Europe on their knees before their values. After this those Christian were accused with nationals claims from very high European politics. But s*it those dudes are ladies and gentleman's from A to Z, so they did not reply anything to anybody after showing their card after last ante. I did get lot stuff to my fan also. I'm not professional politician or anything, just plain citizen so of course I send personal Apology card those who claim me to be nationalist ![]() So on future Europe will be divided to North and South. Border control of Romania and Bulgaria will be handed to their neighborhoods. This really makes difference, I have meet those mobsters on close counter and can say fore sure that they cannot merge in to crown or anything. Those creatures are not anything like spitting image of gorilla kind of mobster, those are absolutely something out of movie Lord of the Rings. So if those manage to enter EU -area, they are limited to move very close areas. They might enter as north as German where every fifth citizen (those who actually has papers) is immigrant from east. But here on north, they will get as much as tension as I would get if wave red flare on my hand. So they cannot travel in incognito and they have to have very good reason why they are moving around here on north. As personal opinion I know for sure that Nokia will shut down it's factories on Romania. So if I would live on wine belt, I would decorate X'mass tree with razor wire this years Cheers for all the redneck hillbillies on North! ![]() |

It's great for folks to get involved as this is the only way things get fixed. Politicians only care about money they can get through campaign contributions. Most don't care what it's from. Pretty much a pay of in my book.
----------------------------------------I lived in Germany from 1992 to 1995. Was stationed there with the army. Had a great time, visited a lot of places. Definitely different from the states. The Germans (west) were wanting the wall to go back up since there taxes jumped to help the east. Sure it's calmed down by now. Was surprised how the union came about as one country always bitched about the other. Enjoyed my time while there. I dread the time our country opens the boarders with north and south. Not so much with Canada but Mexico would bring more problems. This globalization under one world order is making things worst than better, AFAIK. Only time will tell how things work out. Outlook doesn't look promising at the point.
