You seem to have this inability to grasp the idea that while I'm against austerity, I'm also against a crooked system. It's as if you purposely refuse to read my posts.
Look, we're done. You're not going to win and I have no want to "win" this arguement. My point from the beginning is this, regardless of the situation, how it started, how it continues to unfold and how it ends, the people of Greece will suffer and suffer badly. The international community seems to be turning a blind eye to the problems of the average Greek citizen while they all get wrapped up in their profit margins and how much they will lose, gain or otherwise. As I stated to someone else in this thread, I don't give a rats ass about the EU or the Greek Government, I care about how the people of Greece are going to feed themselves. That has been my point all along and I have not once wavered from that. If you want to argue semantics, be my guest, but it's a never ending case of beating your head against the wall while people in Greece starve.
