( Henry VIII) Do you really think, that a 30 year old german should pay for his grandfather or grandgrandfather? What about Turkey? You greeks invaded Troya once. You should pay reparations to them first. Germany already paid 30 billion Euro to the Greek last year. it will be again 40 - 50 billion this year.

And when we entered EU...2012=125% of GDP. You took our money and now you call us names.Thats not polite.You took much more than 30 or 50 billion from Greece. The existence of Germany costed Greek between 1-1.5 trillion (WWII+EU and EURO "union) People here in Greece want their money back. |

After WWI, European countries demanded that Germany repay them for the damages. The Wiemar Republic printed so much fake money trying to repay European countries for the damage done during WWI that their economy collapsed and they were left destitute. They turned to Hitler's new National Socialist party and the rest is a very ugly history of coarse. Lets not forget that Germany also was reduced to rubble before it was all over. Repeating the same demand that caused the same country to adopt the kind of nationalism that spawned the last world war... over 60 years ago... is practically begging for a third world war with the same nation that kicked your ass the last two times. Besides, Germany is about the only productive country left in Europe now. You should get a Darwin award just for asking that dumb-ass self destructive question. How about you just decide to make your own stuff and sell it to other people who will pay for it. You know, be productive, make your own money, and pay your own debts?

Why is that so hard a concept for people to wrap their little pee-brained heads around? I tell you why...the reason for the rise of the nazis(nationalists) was not that they have to repay for WWI. It is the same reason that caused WWI.Germany wants to be THE BOSS,by all means...call it WWI,WWII,or European Union.It is an anomaly which lies deep inside the german soul,the feeling of superiority. Now about WW2...we stopped the axis for a whole year so that you could win the war.What did we get in exchange?Just some milk,chocolate,frozen meat from WWI,american ships and tanks from WWI. What did Germany who massacred Europe took in exchange?The Marshal plan,worth trillion nowdays. Of course we must produce by our means,you are right about that but world history is not that simplistic. A country whose existence and actions costed over a trillion to Greece during the last 60 years has no respect over the country who gave them everything for free (sciences,arts etc). |

Being part of the Europe Union is an obligation to buy german products,which means pay 2 or 3 times higher price than the average price of the product. Then make it yourself. Start a company or buy only from Greek companies. They only way Greece is getting out of the hole it's in is by Greeks producing and consuming their own products and not borrowing from others to do it. The Euro currency was a horrible idea and a huge disaster that immediately resulted in loss of sovereignty for all nations involved. To be able to stand on your own you have to be self sufficient and in control of your own currency. "God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion.

Ask Erdogan to pay for your shit. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17351735 Last time I checked, Troy was still in Turkey. How did that happen... Are you serious or just ignoring international law? If all people died...its history man. If people are still alive it is present! Is that so difficult to understand?Like it or not,this is the spirit of the law. And by the way...Troy has nothing to do with Turkey,it was a civil war between Greeks.Turkey and Turks or Ottomans didnt exist at that time. Trojans were worshipping the same Gods and were talking same language.They were part of the greek world. |

We can demand all the money lost in WWII because of german invasion.They stole our gold,they caused casualties in human life and infrastructure and they took loans from the Central Bank of Greece and they never returned the money. And is much more than the money Greece owes to the banksters! It is about 500 billion-1 trillion. We want some respect for gods shake and not treating us like an african country. Greece got compensation after the war. The situation is settled. You wouldnt even have mentioned it, if you werent broke.

When things start to get ugly (You aint seen nothing yet) you can go to war soon enough. "The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title."

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18272503 You are definitively a payed shill and spreading disinfo. Specifically for Greece, it has not been settled, you should have known that. We are talking about the loan that Nazis enforced on Greece, they 'ordered; us to give a 'LOAN' to Germany and thus they took all of our gold. That is outside of any war reparations as the German shills want to present this case. That has not been settled. Even though, these same guys foced us to pay back loans from late 1800's which we payed back in the last decade, yet THEY WANT US TO FORGIVE THEM THE LOAN THAT THEY TOOK ON 1940 !! Shills of course know about these and try to dodge, I only hope that there are still those that are not (yet) BRAINWASHED from all the Goebbels descendants and their well known propaganda. I only hope that there are left some that still can think for themselves. YES, Germany has behaved for such long time (more than a century) as a a menace in the world and has to pay back. And of course I dont expect all the so called 'satellite' countries that were at Germany's side on all wars to accept it.. |
