Quote from Rationalize:

Borrow in gold. Repay in lead. It's alchemy, Greek style.

Quote from GTS:

Vacations are fine but it struck me how out of touch the Greek people are -

Why are you making such a gross generalization from an interview of one person to what 10 million people think in a country? Your thinking is dangerous.

Actually, I was stunned to find out the Greeks work most hours per week in EU:

Greece is my motherland. I will probably retire there.

Outside the cities nobody cares. It is and always be agrarian in the countryside. They dont get any welfare and they dont expect anybody to feed or pay them a salary.

The city Greeks got lazy, like the fat dog you just keep feeding with no expectation of earning its keep. Once they accept that the government has run out of money, they will return to roots. This will eventually happen in all the debt burdened countries also.

Denial
Anger

This is where the Greek people are right now..in between stage 3-4 of the 5 stages of denial

Bargaining
Depression
Acceptance

LOL, dangerous huh?

"That's right Iceman, I am dangerous"

Maybe it was a one-off but it shows a real lack of sensitivity when your country is on the brink of bankruptcy, unemployment is rampant and you are concerned about your yearly vacation.

Point taken though, I'm sure you can find no lack of idiots on US streets to say equally stupid things into a camera. That reminds me, when is Obama going to forgive all those underwater mortgages?

This is what this article seems to suggest as well:
