Here's a thought for you, Jaycee - One of the smartest men on the planet is a guy with an IQ of 190 who works as a night club bouncer. Of course, everybody with an IQ of 100 who hears that says "the guy must be stupid!" ...despite the fact that he, uh, has an IQ of 190.

I meant "funny joke". Anyway I challenge all of those people who think Aussies should poke fun at ourselves go and start giggling at the nearest homeless person eating out of a dumpster. When you wake up with a big bruise on your head, ask yourself "why did that happen?" :)

The article is correct. An appropriate quote in regards to Australian Leadership would be "Politicians think of the next election. Statesmen think of the next generation". Yes, but in this case we're poking fun at others in very bad taste. Laughing at people dispossessed and eating out of...

I am Australian. I have a pretty good sense of humor. Unfortunately, since I am burdened with both a human compassion and understanding of what is happening in Greece/Italy/Spain/Ireland/Portugal, I am unable to make jokes about it because all I see is injustice, and such jokes would be in very...

Agree with what you said, apart from the "we wanted a ton of workers conditions and rights, and the cost has been way less manufacturing jobs" part. I personally blame politicians in power since WW2 for this, and think that there is absolutely no reason that we could not have workers...

You know, I'm getting a little annoyed at some of these attitudes, and so I am going to pose a question to all of the people here who think it appropriate to slag off on other nations. Germany is a nation with few resources, yet is the greatest manufacturing economies in Europe, with a...

Makes no sense, I'm confused :confused:

Palestinian Capitalism: You have 2 cows Israel tells you they don't exist and give them to a Settler Israeli Capitalism: You have no cows You mention the holocaust repeatedly The world community gives you 2 cows ...every year ...until the end of time Australian Capitalism...

Ah. I see. Did Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Ireland partake of this "keep the commies out" slush fund? Well yes, but whose fault is that? Is it solely the debtors fault when a creditor offers them piles of money? Where is the due diligence on the part of the people who lent Greece money? I...

The way you're talking, it is almost as if Greece did not exist as a nation before the EU. When Greece was on the Drachma, it was fine - people worked, lived, made babies, died etc and life was generally pretty good for the Greeks. The Greeks didn't much respect the state, and paid few taxes...

No no no no no you don't understand - that look is the "unfinished feature" specified in the schedule of finishes that makes the place look "ancient". And, given how many tourists flock to the Parthenon, it is clearly value adding at its best :D

Out of curiosity, being a property investor, you no doubt have had dealings with a lot of Greek people. Might I ask, do they strike you as a lazy bunch? I mean, it seems strange to me that, looking around, most of the Greeks here in Australia seem to have property portfolios as long as their...

Greek Capitalism: You have two cows You join the EU, and may only buy cow feed in euros Germany is very good at making milk as well as cow feed You cannot compete with Germany in the milk market German banks lend you money to buy supplies from German companies even though they know that...
