(62,325 posts)as seen in the OP, that they didn't?
You not once addressed the OP's main point, that the accusation that the Greeks are lazy bums who caused the meltdown because they didn't pay their taxes. NOT ONCE until finally it became too difficult to keep distracting from the main point of the OP, WHICH IS ABOUT THAT FALSE CLAIM
That is why, when you finally, after so many, many comments derailing the thread with your focus on an irrelevant issue, admitted that this was not the cause of the meltdown I thanked you.
It is an old tactic. Called a strawman. Do not address the actual issue, but deflect and go off in a whole other direction.
The topic of this thread was NOT about the state of any country's economy prior to the interference of the Global Capitalist mobsters. The entire point of the OP was to NOT allow the criminals to place the blame for their crimes on the people of Greece. Yet, you continued over and over again to point the finger at the people, the voters, the tax payers etc.
I'm glad finally we were able to drag you back to the main point of the OP. But it has been a wearing experience. Most of the other commenters as you will note, did not take up space in this thread pointing fingers of blame at the people which is totally irrelevant to the point of the OP.
Next time start your own thread if you want to talk about the periods prior to the corrupt, takedown of all these economies. Thread-jacking does not make for good discussion.
And refrain from giving me orders please 'either do this or you are a liar' is probably against the rules here.
