Greece could sell one of it's islands to Germany for all it's debt. That would keep the EU together. Otherwise it is probably going to be Greece, Spain, Ireland, maybe Portugal, maybe Italy out.

Would that be Lesbos Island  ::)

Huzzah!!

^That would be a great thesis.

And I would pay 5.00 to watch the Germans repossess Greece.


The Europeans use opposite number punctuation so that would be 5k euros.

I was thinking Rhodes actually. I'd rather spend Oktoberfest in Rhodes with drunk bikini chicks then in cold, wet Germany.

I've always figured that the Mayan end of the world thing isn't a world destruction event, but a worldwide financial meltdown that triggers a collapse of society as we know it today.  It will start with Europe, the US, and China, and quickly followed by Russia, India and the other devloping counties.  The third world countries will find themselves without the aid they they live off of today and will go into full scale civil war.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

"The aim is to create here in Britain a really hostile environment for illegal migration," she said.
"What we don't want is a situation where people think that they can come here and overstay because they're able to access everything they need."
Prime Minister David Cameron said last week the eurozone must decide soon whether it wants to stay together or break-up.

Canada will need to block illegals aggressively as well. There could soon be millions trying to get out of southern europe.

if you take a close look you will see that germany isn't that much better concerning debts than other european countries. it accumulates debt and all the past years of conservative reign did not change anything. but germany does have a strong economy.

there a lot of comments over here critizising germany promoting austerity plans for southern europe because germany itself does not always play along these rules themself.
