The more I follow this, the more I'm convinced German's are in conquest mode again. What will it take to remove the "superiority" gene from German DNA?

The point is Greece would go bankrupt today if Germany wasn't so keen on exacerbating their pain.
You are wrong. Scarcity is the enemy of free markets. It is labor that ads value to that which can be found free through the Nature's Bounty. Scarcity removes the choice of investing ones own labor or paying another to invest his.
You miss the point. It is not just the keyboard, it is the independence. Maybe if I save another thousand I can buy a phone that isn't subservient to some data collecting MegaGoliath?
I've been saving up to buy the successor to the N900. I've even gone to the point of buying a "throwaway" phone in anticipation of my current phone eventually dying so I have a backup. There's no way I'm going to put myself at the mercy of Google, Microsoft, or Apple.
Fine. And, since chances are good that that surgeon will be the only one available in many parts of the world, you will die for lack of a life saving procedure.
It seems unfair to me to pick on them. All allied health professionals are expected to work whether they are sick or not. It is just the result of the prevailing Judeo/Christian work ethic. Catholics seem to be the worst as personal sacrifice is expected by their beliefs, science be damned.
For example, one of the first things that got discarded was our previously secular hospital's very sane policy of forgiving a sick call by working an extra shift after being placed under the management of a Catholic institution. Apparently to their mind, if you can walk you can work.
In the meantime hospital acquired infections continue to be on the rise, and in many cases more deadly.
Do you really think other people should be responsible for someone elses debt? Why in the world should a Greek child born today be responsible to pay the debts of his Grandfather?
The value of a thing is nothing more than more the price which people are willing to pay to acquire it. Now personally I'm hoping that the both the Euro and Greece's future currency are available real cheap. Or, at least cheap enough that what I pay for them today is less than what I can sell them for tomorrow.
Exactly why bankruptcy law are so important. Without the freedom to walk away from mistakes people just won't take chances being too afraid that they will fail. The investors who put money in Greece failed, time for them to accept their losses and look for new sheep to shear.
What the hell was all that gobbledygook in your post? This is what it looked like here:

There are many ways to emphasize a point without using system dependent garbage.
Be nice if parents were paid for the time they had to take off to attend these meetings. Sadly though, mundane things such as rent, food, and bosses who don't give a damn about personal life get in the way. For example, have you ever seen this parent/teacher things scheduled at any other times than what is convenient for the teachers? Why not 9am for night shift workers, 7pm for dayshift workers, and 1am for second shift workers?
Wow, you first have to get over your antisemitic agenda before you can hold an intelligent conversation. Though Berlin under the control of Jews would be poetic justice, it will never happen.
Allies are supposed to refrain from bugging each other's leaders' phones.
Where in "Handbook for Allies" does it say this? Friends don't keep secrets from friends, they share information so they can form a united front against those that would use secrets to drive a wedge between them.
You know what really sucks about this? I truly think Japanese women are about the sexiest women on the planet! I wonder how many millions of them would have died swinging bamboo poles at the millions of multiracial troops that would have been invading their shores had the Empire not surrendered?
