    Of course you can't hold him liable. But if the doctor prescribes these pills knowing that they won't work for you, he can be.

    Here, I've bolded the part of the quote that is important, because you probably overlooked it:

    They both have fault, but for different things. I know English is your second language, so I've taken the liberty of trying to translate this into German. I apologize for grammar, but perhaps this can help you understand.

    Sie sind beide schuldig. Sie sind schuldig verschiedener Verbrechen .

  3. Ha, so you are saying EU, ECB, and IMF had bad intentions when they offered money to Greece? They should have let Greece default right there right then? (Well in retrospect that would have been awesome). Greece was at the verge of collapse. The money was obviously needed to get Greece on life support. Else the money would be there.

    Of course they can partly repay it. But that's breaking the agreement. Also why I've said all along they cannot repay the debt agreement in it's present form. It must be renegotiated.

    You raised questions to discredit the article. Mish's personal life has nothing to do with Greece or the EU. You're losing the argument and resorting to name calling, personal attacks and the like. This has been your modus operandi the entire thread. It's blatantly obvious.

    And no bank would look at whether someone married two people or how long it was. You're just making shit up.

  6. We do not talk about different things we are talking about one thing, the whole time the whole 50 pages. We talked about Greece being the only party to be blamed for their situation when the first bailout was extended, the second extended and they are at fault now that they plan to default without ever having fulfilled their contractual obligations that came with the bailout. That is what we are talking for 50 fucking pages.

    Not bad intentions, just different intentions. They lent money they knew would go to their own financial institutions. A back door bailout. Helping the Greeks was not the intent - or if it really was the intent - then the lenders are guilty of ignorance.

    Again, if you don't like it, leave (or claim to leave for the third time, or put me on ignore for the third time,...whatever). I'm not going to change my methods.

  9. Bullshit!!! All of Europe would clap their hands in admiration, that the Greek soul has won over its fucking arrogance in that they would try to do their best. Nobody would hold them to any original agreement if they tried. The problem is that EU, ECB, and IMF have made multiple concessions and each time the original loan is watered down the fucking savages come out of their cave and look to extort more. You want the 3 bodies to negotiate with fishermen every 6 months for the next 20 years?

  10. Holy shit. SO WHAT? Instead of banks with credit risk that could bring about another financial crisis Greece now owes the EU, IMF, and the ECB. SO WHAT? What does that change about Greece's obligations?
