Indeed, Google Translate made that for an interest noonafter reading of.  In kind I replicate lightly.

Take not mine euro money taxes nikos, need them I do!  Wait, job no, taxes money no, you from Germanic steal.  Ok that.  Them rich anyway from mine.

What got you against Euro-Turkey-Vision arms contest?

Write like this hard work.  Give up me.

The funniest thing related to the Greek bankrupt is that they seriously talked about Germany and World War II because "we" still owe billions of € to them or something. Ridiculous.

If Greece is insolvent, its politicians should think about the reasons, not search for a scapegoat. No mercy.

[Kilmatead]

Yeah, the punitive reparations from the Treaty of Versailles just made you guys even more cranky, so it doesn't pay to ask the Huns to return treasures.

Not being rude, just overly simplistic as a matter of fun.  It comes out of my wallet too, regardless of how much the Germans will claim they "reluctantly" provided.  Methinks as a matter of politics, Angela will rant and and rave for the German press telling you what you want to hear, but in the Euro-zone she'll point out how "Germany saved the day again" in the end, garnering her more points.

Versailles is a haunting lesson, still.

And Greece is a write-off.  (Much like Ireland!  Just worse!)

[Tuxman]

Angela is one of those politicians who don't actually care about their own country's financial situation. Forgot about the U.S. banks?

[Kilmatead]

Forgot about the U.S. banks?

They learned from the old-world's best, didn't they?  Even up to imitating the part about keeping central banks privately owned while pretending the public good.  They do not, and never did, have altruistic intent.  Nor should they, really - business is business - simply assuming that it should abide by ethical standards is silly.  (Which, of course, means you are free to do the same to them, if possible.  Rather liberating, in a Dillenger sort of way.)

But don't play into Nikos' hands... he loves to bring up the Americans, as if that makes the rest of us look innocent.  A card-shark's mis-direction.

[Tuxman]

Compared to any of these stupid, wardriving, illiterate, prude, decadent US-Americans I am innocent.

[Kilmatead]

But you're a university student!  That automatically makes you:

• 1) Politically Irrelevant
  2) Economically Irrelevant
  3) Emotionally Irrelevant
  4) The opposite of free-thinking
  5) Guilty of all things settled people hate:
  • a) Loud music
    b) Vapid Sexual Deviancy
    c) The Sin of Youth

Rejoice in your innocence.  When you graduate, then you can complain about the Wardriving, the Illiterate, the Prude, and the Decadent, while you resist accepting the bank loans which will let you join their social clique - all because your fiancée wants a bloody new sofa, or apartment, or pram.  You will have sold your soul and joined the fun.  Harder (but far more honest) to criticise something when you're at least trying to dig yourself out of it.

[Tuxman]

Hmm, sexuality is overrated. So far, I'm free to say what I dislike. I hope this won't change so soon.

News flash: Germany invaded by hordes of Greek Skinny Chicks.  One man named Tux stood his ground and demanded free speech instead.  I've heard of Atlas Shrugged, but this?

Some nationalities like to parade their so-called freedom of speech.  Where has it gotten them?  Maybe all is not what it seems, and allowing people free speech (as in free beer) ties them up in loud confusion while the rest of the world gets on with the dirty business of earning a living.

And earning a living is getting more difficult by the day.

I hope we're not talking about the brainfucked USA here?

[Kilmatead]

I was being polite by not mentioning them by name.  Have they done something to you personally to provoke such ire?  (That kind of language will, and should, get us all sidelined.)

[Tuxman]

Not personally, but generally their whole attitude makes me (metaphorically) want to bomb them. Raaaah!

They act like they own the world, but they don't. They forced more causeless wars than the Third Reich - and did it improve anything? Their "democracy" is a bad joke. Not to mention their racism.

(And English is not my "global language".)

[Kilmatead]

Perhaps you give them too much credit?  Such things are a bit nebulous to generally blame on one group of unlucky creatures.  Many people have often overstated the importance of American Foreign Policy (official or unofficial), but combine fear, youth, and machines of war, and you can't expect a pretty picture.  If they didn't do it, someone else would: it's the nature of the beast.

And isn't Chinese supposed to be the new global language now that Google has shown them that self-righteous cultural swagger means nothing?

And don't China own the debt of the US?

There comes a pattern of a more disturbing future.  Last century was known as the American Century - this new one will not be.

And you want to see racism?  Come to Ireland.  We own the patent.  Insularity breeds contempt for everything that breathes, including itself.  Oh wait, that's Catholicism...

[Tuxman]

I am still waiting for the day people understand that German is the old and new global language.  8)
Even Beth Ditto knows German!  :lol:
