I really feel sorry for the Germans and the fact they are going to have to stomach this. Be clear as well that this is not a loan.

If the UK was in the Euro we'd be paying in as well. I'm pretty sure we are anyway really (through things like the CAP).

UKIP at the polls anyone?
save your sympathy, germany has to bear a lot, other countries have to, too. but we are no wizards, able to change **** into money and uk isnt an exception. just wait till after election

just forget the weapons. we in Finland have possibly a not working pension system (funds might run out). And here the retiring age is 60+ years, probably 70 when I am 60 years old...

..what were the figures in Greece again?

there is hella lot stupid holes in Greeces fiscal policy. weapons are a really easy target, but things are really messed up in general. selling all the guns and stopping army wouldn't change the situation significantly.

Iīm sorry but itīs Greeces business to do whatever they want to do with their money. If people chosen by democratic process decide to put all the money on military then be it. Itīs not sellers problem to be interested on buyers economic status after they have managed to pay their bills.

osse we share the same destination, gonna be retired with 70 (earliest). and the greeks have to, too. but the incessant propaganda blaming the greek joe plumber is way too short and weapons is a german topic politicians dont wanna talk about, it's not a very useful argument in german elections...

its not the sellers problem? really? if the seller share the same currency and credits the sell with this currency it SHOULD be our problem! cause we want the money back....not the sellers problem...never laughed like that....the greeks don't don't pay theire bills since 2007 but we needed to sell MORE AND MORE AND MORE. and we gave them our money to buy our products

I said that if they manage to pay bill then there is nothing else that seller is interested. Why should? Companies are only interested on making money to their owners End of story.

.edit
Do you think that countires could be handled like people who do not anymore have control of themselves?

exactly. so guns mean nothing compared to impossible system that ensures people can retire as soon as they reach 50.

and I suggest that you would read a bit more about fiscal stuff. of course a country can buy a lot without paying. the seller just is certain that the bill will be paid at some point. a bit like asking your friend to buy you a lollipop that costs 10 euro cents and say you will pay it next week.

Situation right now is that banks do not care about big picture or macroeconomics. Just profit in couple of quarter year and run. If the situation is that lending money to country is low risk and it gives good profit to owners then money goes there.
