It seems to me that in this case, it's the citizens of the country standing up and saying that THEY should not have to pay for investors losses. The investors have managed to privatize gains, and socialize loses to that there is no more risk in investing. You invest, you know that your investment carries a risk; don't want to shoulder the possible loss... don't invest.

Here, it doesn't matter. Investors can't lose because Merkel and the IMF are saying they MUST be paid, instead of simply suffering a loss like investors have throughout the ages... and the cost of covering those losses fall squarely on the citizens shoulders, citizens who DID NOT have a say in this. THOSE CITIZENS are now telling those investors that THEY aren't going to give them more money.

People bitch and complain about the bailouts here in the US... but consider if they'd happen like they've happened in Greece, where all that money.. TAXPAYER MONEY... was simply given to private investors so those investors wouldn't lose anything, with a guarantee that taxpayers wouldn't be paid back at all. 10:1 all the idiots on this thread saying Greece is trying to walk away from it's debts would be complaining.

Investing is risky... let the investors take the loses, instead of socializing those loses onto the citizens. You want to talk thieves... those investors are the thieves in the matter. You should pay attention to the things that the IMF has said about the dealings the past few days.. where they acknowledge they've handled it miserably, assuming you can get off your rightwing bullshit pedestal long enough to listen to reality telling you to pull your head out.

I'm sorry, i'll speak in smaller words. What i'm saying is the poster doesn't know the meaning of the word communism, but when private industry and governments get into bed solely to enrich those private industries at the expense of citizens, it's corporatism... which Mussolini called fascism.

I'm sorry you had an incompetent history/civics teacher, or you yourself were to incompetent to learn.... but mark my word, the people are laughing at you for being naive, ignorant, and most likely too incompetent to overcome your brainwashing.

Perhaps you mean: where citizens no longer want to pay for the losses of investors who privatize gains, but socialize losses. Why is it that all you people who talk about "responsibility" don't seem to consider the responsibility of the investors that "sometimes win, sometimes loose." to accept their losses without trying to destroy a country? Being a fucking hypocrite is easier, i'd expect.

They are communists

I'm sorry, was that huge bloody revolution in Greece these past few days, where a massive amount of people were killed, not televised? Or is it you're using words you don't seem to know the meaning of.

What this comes down to is simply.... investors privatize gains, and socialize losses.... and the Greek people no longer want to pay for the fascist demands of the EU, Merkel, and the Trioka. It used to be investors knew there was a risk when investing; now days we have so many fascists in the world (again) that those investors can warp governments to do their bidding.

Yes, Reagan was a liberal. Did you notice, in your detailed dissection of the poll questions, that they were about science... not fucking idiocy like astrology? If there was a pool like this done on the idiotic fringe of "belief" systems, i'm would imagine that conservatives would score as having much higher numbers believing in the fringe areas, as conservatives tend to be much more prone to "believe" something than live in reality.

Oh not to worry... yet another test pilot saying the plane is a piece of shit hasn't changed my mind that it's a piece of shit... an expensive, useless, piece of shit, that can't fight, can't run, can't do what it was supposedly designed for... especially if it's raining.... that's bleeding taxpayer money because coward warmongers and neo-cons are scared of everyone, everything, and their shadow.

Anyone who complains about government spending, and doesn't start with this piece of shit, is nothing more than a fucking hypocrite.

Past due and massively inflated costs are the course for private companies stealing taxpayer money with impunity because of elected cowards.

If it works

...and there;'s absolutely no sign that it will. It's past due years, massively inflated costs, and THE PILOT says the thing is a piece of shit. I'll take his opinion over your hope and prayer that it may someday, in some mythical time of unicorns and fairies, that it actually works. Until then, all it is is a fucking waste of money by fucking cowards.

Yeh, that's bullshit. What accrues are projects like this that are nothing more than tax payer money giveaways to weapons makers, massive national debt, and the broken bodies of veterans who fight in those little wars along the way. What we need to do is have a forced draft of neo-cons and when they want a war, we send them in as battalions of grunts on the first day as cannon fodder. That's the only way these sick fucking twisted warmongers will ever get an idea of what war actually is.

I didn't realize you wanted to fuck your sister so much. You could have been doing this years ago if you live in some of the southern states... after all, their definition of a virgin is a girl who can run faster than her brothers. You go ahead and start working on getting that done, and maybe Rick Santorum can work on getting recognition for him marrying his dog.

It was about religious bigots trying to use tyranny of the majority to refuse rights to a minority. Marriage, even defined in the bible, is not just one man/one woman... so you're suggestion that it's some sacrosanct number is bullshit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

What you want to do is define marriage in such a way as to use tyranny of the majority to disenfranchise a group of citizens. There are few things more opposed to the basic foundations of this country than that.
