"A Europe without Finland is not that hard to imagine. A Europe without Greece would not feel like Europe at all"

Without Europe's generosity, Greece's museums are ancient history | Art and design | The Guardian

Worlds most expensive museum to keep up..

Greeks take advantage in a premeditated manner exactly of this fear of Western Europeans, for receiving money for free with their (maybe not so much sentimental) blackmail. Am not joking. They behave like unscrupulous parasites.

Completely agree with the article.

What came from Greece before AD500 is more than enough reason for the rest of Europe to support today's Greece. And they know it.

Honestly, I would not notice if rest of my country and other world would be gone. What happends behind horizon I would not know..


Anyway it is interesting how it goes, when these 2 countries, Slovenia and Finland tries to save EU financy (and apparently their own), how big part of EU are actually thinking they are the bad guys? Maybe they are kicking Slovenia and Finland out because of "bad attitude". They are not following the leader.. except... ...Leader who?

Prodigal son so loved and resbonsible twins so hated.. Sounds like a average family, that is how it goes

In any case, nice drama

Not really anything. But it's stupid to play the ancient history card or put a value on which small country is more "important" than another. Especially coming from the UK, which itself has distanced itself from the core of Europe.

It's especially insulting towards Finland, who has strived for a more economically healthy and integrated Europe since the end of the Cold War.

THere goes this guy again. I am not surprised.

Thread after thread, topic after topic year after year he will degrade Greeks and their country.

I suppose his homeland of Romania is heaven.
