[Closed] I'm an atheist and of Greek descent

i have it (being part scottish/godless and lazy 🙂

Greece but you are 10 years too late 😉

What? Don't you believe in Zeus??

I quite like the idea of the Greek style gods, the idea there's some higher powers actively ****ing with you for entertainment while arguing between themselves makes sense to me...

Well possibly, maybe I'm just agnostic as nothing can be asserted with any certainty (well nothing except it's all zee Germans fault). It seems odd that sending good money after bad and not getting it back should be regarded as in any way surprising.

How do we know that the Greek gods weren't actually the correct ones anyway?

Maybe you should look to the architects of the failure, messrs Goldman Sachs, they made plenty out of fudging Greeces entry into the Euro.
Apply for a job there, they pay well I'm told.

I have every sympathy for the Greek people I have family there and it's disgraceful that an entire economy has been brought to it's knees by the bankers and Brussels suits. I hope the Greeks do the sensible thing and leave the euro, short term pain but a better long term solution I'm told.
Greece really is a dreadfully corrupt place but that isn't the fault of the vast majority of it's people. I wonder if in reality it's any more corrupt than our own fair isle or if we're just more institutionally corrupt and call it business.

Yep, a corrupt system allows no innocents, it's just like that poor Lance Armstrong.

Can I have some proper olive oil from southern Greece please. The best! Really.

I used to know a mama's boy from Greece living in GeordieLand and when he came over he brought a gallon of the proper stuff with him to GeordieLand! Apparently, it's from the nearby olive plantation ... oohhh that tasted good.

Anyway, he lost all his money by gambling at the local casino, silly boy ... not only him but the group of them (about 10 of them). They really loved the casinos at GeordieLand and would visit them every weekend ...

I remember a lot time ago, at Uni, I knew a very pretty Greek girl by the name of Athena but bloody Greek boys were preventing me from going near her. One of them were even acted like her body guard. Silly boy.

In the meantime one of my Greek macho man/boy (at Uni again) acquittance, by the name of Kostas, was shagging all the British girls he could find ... yes he did and because of his model look it wasn't hard. Bar-stewart used to describe his conquests to us the next day ... ??????! 😡 How did he manage we don't know because some of the girls were really proper and how they got persuaded by him for a one night stand I don't know ...

He had all of them from public to grammar whatever schools ... ??????! (the normal first word he greeted us with ... )

That's a term of endearment...

I went out with a kazakh greek girl at uni, who had a head rounder than charlie brown's. I'm struggling to link this to the greek debt crisis but maybe if a cup of coffee was involved...

I'm not sure that looking at paying taxes as purely optional, and retiring early on full pay, as I understand was the custom helped very much, but joining the single currency and being forced into its straight-jacket, then being shafted by the international banking collapse just yanked the rug out from under the whole tottering edifice.
