    We're not sitting on the couch or lying on our backs. We're down on our haunches with our asses in the air asking for it. The greeks are right, the world is right and I'm guilty of not protesting. It really brings it home when another country says something like that.

    What exactly do you propose protesting against and what do you hope to achieve?

    TBH the people I blame for this are the FF voters. I will live and die by the notion that re-electing an Irish government is suicide. They get stupider the longer they're in office. Protesting shows that we take notice and actually care. It puts the leaders under pressure. It's a hell of a lot better than turning the the person next to you and saying "This is awful ****, isn't it!"

    Your talking about their situation, not ours. And by the way you phrased that statement, it's almost as if your saying the protests have increased Greeces debt.

    So are you protesting against FF or FF voters? The best way to protest is at the ballot box. Anything else is futile in comparison.

    Every day the Greeks resist measures to sort their shit out, their debt increases. Basic finance there.

    Actually protesting will negatively influence their debt. They will be seen as less stable and investors will rate them as a higher risk. So that will lead to higher amounts for them to pay back.

    But enough of that gheyness...I wish we had Spartan women. A little bit of female perfection and nudity would make my days go a little faster

    The banksters for running up such dedts and their lackies in government for making us pay for their mistakes.

    Hope to achieve a change in the NAMA rules that force the banksters to repay all the money they have been given, before the current system collapses completly! :eek:

    You are aware the if the government hadn't propped up the banks, the situation would have been much worse?

    I am! But my main complaint is the fact that we are giving them the money not lending it!

    I would doubt that the money is being 'given' away without strings attached. I would suspect that there will be a much greater level on interference and monitoring in banking in the future. I would hope anyway.
