Cyrillic script (it's far more suitable for Slavic phonology than Latin). And Greek salad (although some people may not like it, it's a personal taste).

When it is really, only about finance.

I guess it is cultural crashes inside EU. Two are talking about money and other are small talking

Also, we have played by the rules which ultimately are thought to be for the best for all of us in the Eurozone, while Greece haven't. You're telling the A-student is to be blamed because the F-student is failing.

And it's unfair to depict Finland or Slovenia as some kind of oversized bullies - Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium and Austria have the same standpoint as us.

Yes, some people just don't get it. They like to consistently talk trash for Greece as if they come from a perfect world and they are better than anybody else

If Finland has not contributed anything, then why the harsh innuendos? Btw..

Whether we like it or not, Greeks named Europe, the continent.
