content: Well Its known that Greece faces from the 2010 one severe economical instability ,in short we call it as Crisis.Well those problems in our economy, had become today an major issue,and the internal economy are almost destroyed.There is no income for the many,and the whatever bills started to stack up ( electrical - internet - banking - other ),and the 70% of the population are unable to handle them).I can not exclude my self, as I face the same problems,and so I will have the "privilege" to be on-line for 4-5 days the most from today.Some one will say who cares ?Well , the very few who had the time to get in knowing me,and called as friends , they must be informed some how.I will continue to visit the forum, from time to time.I have stored all ready for off-line use , some important threads of the forum.And few videos of Dave , the ones about the DMM that I favor most.And so I am prepared for my partial Goodbye.The financial recovery of Greece could take years,at list as human and technician , I have got all ready all the items ( tools ) that I need so to work,if work and pay , become an active task again.Thanks for reading my message.

Well over half of our population is too politically ignorant to function, much less vote, and we all want free breakfast, lunch, and dinner without paying any taxes to cover it.I swear, if things get much worse, I'm moving to Germany. At least there the 35% tax buys me the ability to injure myself without paying a dime or filling out paperwork. And even if I don't, at least I can still buy a Gossen there.

content: I mean, if we're talking about the housing market, which is the big one here, the "system" was very much not robust, by willful irresponsibility. The point is that the perpetrators of the irresponsibility made gobtons of money and knew that when it all came crashing down, they wouldn't personally suffer any ill effects. But we can argue about it all day. The only possible outcome is that I get really, really angry thinking about it and waste lots of time.

content: Sad to see you Kiriakos leave (for a while!)... Really, for you and for the many people like you.The first thought is that there's a positive feedback (and we all know "positive" besides "feedback" is not a good thing): in Greece (but Italy could follow, soon) people won't have the possibility to use the internet, to buy instrumentation, to learn, ..., which will cause them to be less competitive, and so on.I don't agree with the idea that the only responsibles are the banks, since the real economy (production) has been going down since a long time ago in EU, USA and Japan, and I think that's the real cause. Investors introduced a great disturbance in the system (speculating), which is making the transient harder (for the poorest people).I hope in what the history tells: it's after the worst storms that comes the clearest sun. Europe's and, even more, Japan's economical growth after the WWII are some of the biggest examples. I hope this crisis (and what has still to come) will get us to roll up our sleeves and work harder (but in a different way, possibly), having lost the illusion that it's possible to give the minimum and get more than enough.Quote from: EEVblog on April 21, 2011, 11:37:09 pmThe worst problem is the public debt/GDP ratio, and the fact that the owners of the debt are stranger investors for very a large part...

content: I am from Greece too. Things are really bad (for me personally too).For example the price of gasoline (due to taxes) from 1.16 USD (2009) is 2.40 USD now per litre (0.26 US gallon). The salaries went 30~50 % down.Our politician are a bunch of masturbating monkeys. They don't understand that by increasing the taxes (VAT for 18% to 23%) they collect less, because we can't afford buy anything. E.g. the price of fuel doubled since 2009. The state income of the fuel the first trimester of 2011 is 277 millions (USD)lessthan 2009. Why? Because we can't afford gas anymore and we don;t use our cars.The bottom line is that they don;t want Greece ton be saved. They wan;t to impoverish/"zombiefy" us in order to take the full control.Greece took a huge amount of money from the European central bank. Right after that Germany and France forced Greece to buy weapons from them (submarines from Germany and ground-air missiles from France if am not mistaken). Half of the loan went to them.How did they forced Greece to do that? Simple. They threatened to give a negative vote for the loan...They are shutting down Schools too!

content: Quote from: EEVblog on April 21, 2011, 11:37:09 pmGreece, like Portugal, Ireland and others expect the Germans to bail them out. The thing is, the Germans aren't as stupid any more as they were in the past. While they pay something, they don't pay unlimited. Especially not when there are no concessions.E.g., the Greek retirement age with full pension rights is 60 years (58 without full pension), while Germany is just moving the age to 67 years. It is hard to explain to German workers why they need to work seven more years to finance a number of corrupt foreign governments, banks and lazy workers.Greece is also not making friends in Germany, because the Greek government is going after German journalists who called Greece what they are, connmen who falsified the financial reports given to the EU. It is not just the banks, it is the Greek government, supported by the Greek people, who lied and cheated like there was no tomorrow. Now prosecutor Ourania Stathea is wetting her pants, because a liar was called a liar.

content: Shame to see you go and hope you get back on your feet.I think the idiots who borrowed more than they could afford are just as much to blame as the bankers.What should the government have done? Let the banks fail.In the UK Labour borrowed too much money when the going was good. The trouble now is the government can't borrow any more and they want to make cuts which will harm the economy. What annoys me is they cut jobs to save money but it doesn't because the people who've lost their jobs just start claiming benefits. If there was a time to make cuts and increase taxes, it was years ago when the economy was booming, it's true it would've reduced the growth but the government would now have some money saved which the can spend to carry us through the lean period.Anyone who says they only care about how this affects them deserves all they get and it's people like that who are the reason why we're in the mess we are at the moment. Selfish people who only vote for governments who give them what they want, not what's best for the country give rise to irresponsible governments.

content: Kiriakos, I am sorry to hear that you are in such a trouble as to downgrade your internet connection, since internet access is not considered to be a luxury --at least, not yet... I am really sorry, my fellow man, and I wish you the best.Speaking of politicians, they are nothing else thattheatrical actors! Theatrical actors of the worst kind, I might add, because people are unable to realise that what the politicians really are iscompany agents, in reality: They are payed to get elected in order to modify every country's legislation framework in favour of those who pay them; in favour of those who they really work for; in favour of those who actually pull the strings, safely hidden in anonymity.I am sorry, but this is the ugly truth... To prove my assertion I will refer you to our recent municipal elections, where anincompatibleperson (Spiros Hatzaras) was simply deprived from hisright to be elected, since he was becoming popular due to his stance against the banking cartel.Theycould not risk to havereal opposition(someone they do not control) in power...Anyway, this is a very long subject matter and a very difficult one to be understood by the everyday citizen, since those bits of reality are very well obfuscated from public opinion.Tell me, please, what do you think you really know aboutSocial Engineering? And, yes, that "A Hellene" who wrote the essay is me!Debt! What does this term really mean? Well, I have recently attempted to draw the real picture of debt in another discussions board I participate in. So, allow me, please, to link you to these two short pieces I have written, back in May of 2010:Debt, Part 1andDebt, Part 2.

content: We all have debt, at least most of us. I try and have as little as possible but its something we all struggle with. Times are tuff everywhere, I myself had to leave the high paying jobs of the oil fields because the stability was gone after the economic crash. Many of my relatives decided to stay and have had months and some over a year without work. Friends that told me they would never work out of town away from their families are now doing that and gone for months at a time.I took a much lower paying job, but had great benefits, super job stability and I love the work. For me at least this economic crash has forced me to rethink how I want to live my life and that I didnt want money to be the centre of it all.Proverbs 22:7http://lds.org/scriptures/ot/prov/22?lang=engKeep tuffing it out, re evaluate what you need in your life and what you dont, keep working hard and things will with time get better.

content: Quote from: Kiriakos-GR on April 22, 2011, 06:13:20 pmI could not agree more with you, Kiriakos!Have you seen the chart of our public debt?Here it is, at the attachment below, showing how long this charade has been played on us.Note that the period 1998-2004 is not depicted accurately: The debt was NOT reduced. This is the outcome of the "creative accounting" trick our PM Simitis pulled with the help of Goldman Sachs, to make Greece deceptively meet the requirements to join Eurozone.Though money (meaningreal moneythat can be redeemed instantly for something of value, like gold; not printed colour IOUs in the form of fiat currency) is the most useful tool for commercial transactions, debt is something very very different. The difference between debt and money is analogous to the difference between rape and love-making; they are entirely different things.John Whipple, an American Lawyer, wrote in 1836 in his treatise called "The Importance of Usury Laws":Quote from: John WhippleA more recent recalculation was made by JAK Bank, in theirAug. 2007 report:Quote from: JAK Bank, Aug. 2007 reportSuch is the nature ofcompound interest. This kind of bad math shows the fraudulent character of those debt practices... And lots of archaeological artifacts (the Babylonian clay tablets, for example) are proofs that this deception is a few thousand years old, as I explain in the links at my previous message.-George

content: According to the democracy index Greece is classed as a flawed democracy which by all accounts is true.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_indexThere's no such thing as a perfect democracy, just as there's no such thing as an absolute dictatorship i.e. where the government controls everyone's every single action, there are only shades of grey which are impossible to measure accurately. Greece is authoritarian when compared with New Zealand and democratic compared with Singapore.

content: Gentlemen,The term "Democracy" literally means "The rule of the people" and it comes from the noun «Δημοκρατία» = «δήμος» (the people, the commons) + «κράτος» (rule, authority, sway).According to its founders, there are three cardinal rules in Democracy:1. Isonomy (from «ισονομία» = ίσος (equal) + νόμος (law): equality in front of the law),2. Isopolity (from «ισοπολιτεία» = ίσος (equal) + πολιτεία (citizenship): equality in civil rights) and3. Equality in the right to speak («ισηγορία» = ίσος (equal) + αγορεύω (to speak in public)).In any case, if any of these three cardinal rules is missing THIS IS NOT A DEMOCRACY! No matter what they call it, because the name alone cannot define someone or something; only their actions and the results can...We can recognise a regime as a Democracy if, and only if, all the three condition above are met together. Anything else is NOT a Democracy. Period!For example, the Roman Republic was NOT a Democracy because the power was not exercised from the peopledirectlybut from their (elected or not) so-called representatives! A Republic is not a Democracy. Just for the record, Democracy has been exercised for no more than four centuries, in the whole recorded history...Naming non-Democracies as Democracies is a deception calledeuphemism.The term "euphemism" is the English transliteration of the noun «ευφημισμός» = «ευ» (well) + «φημί» (to speak) and literally means "fair speaking (of)." Euphemism is a milder or socially acceptable term or phrase that substitutes another one that is unpleasant or harsh. For example, the "Department of Defence" is a euphemism for the "Ministry of War" since it describes the same exactly mass-murderous entity but in a milder, friendlier and less intimidating term. In another example, no one speaks anymore of "civilian murders" but of "collateral damage," and that makes these murders alright...In a few words, euphemisms are used to deceive people, since they replace other terms that are less obfuscating and more enlightening. And this comes directly from the ancient Roman Law, which stated that,if someone is deceivable let him be deceived...As a side note, I will say that squeezing the last drop of juice out of the modern microcontrollers (yes,craftingcode in pure assembly!) did not really make me feel smart; but, since I adapted etymology as one of my most beloved and enlightening hobbies, I would dare say that it has widen my perception, simply by realising theactualmeaning of the terms I run across. It takes some time eventually, but the outcome is priceless. After all, etymology is the only tool we have to explain and debunk the widely used deceiving tactics of euphemisms.I hope I have given enough bits of information and unusual terms as starting points for further research to the individuals who feel the need to learn more than they have been taught.-George

Yes i would have let the banks fail and instead give the money we gave away to them straight to the people who had money in those failed banks

content: well the banks are also to blame for not getting enough guarantees of the loans they made. what they did was know and calculate that a certain percentage would not be able to pay back but got the math wrong, over leant and got us all screwed. still just because you can borrow more than you can afford is not a good excuse to do so. There is fault on all sides

content: Bankers? Please watch a very rare lecture given by Gary Fielder at The University of Colorado School of Law on Dec. 4, 2008, called:"The gig is up: Money, the Federal Reserve and You".Additionally, for further information, follow the links he suggests.My favorite documentary, which I strongly believe that should be taught at schools, is the three and a half hours long historical documentary called:"The Money Masters (1998)"written by Patrick S.J. Carmack. It is available to be watched for free by video-sharing services at the these locations:#1,#2,#3and a special one with Greek subtitles(!).-George
