| | Re: Swiss Euroskepticism | Quote: | |  | | | There are no leaders on here mate! What's wrong with Greece then? | | | | | I suppose the name "Forum Veteran" isn't actually a leader. But whatever.
Greece seriously needs to clean house on their economics. A good start might be ditching the euro.

Bless your cotton socks.
Do you even have a passport?

| | Re: Swiss Euroskepticism | Quote: | |  | | | You were the one that was curious to know why no one could make the connection. | | | | | Well mainly I was just surprised that one particular poster thought it was unusual.
As you were.

| | Re: Swiss Euroskepticism | Quote: |  | | | Then why aren't you interested in what you are being told about the country by people who actually live here?
How many of your correspondents have been Swiss, so far?
Why? Have you been there? | | | | | First, who said I wasn't interested.
Second, I wasn't aware that most people here aren't Swiss.
Third, I don't have to go to Hell to know that I don't want to go there, to put it in extreme terms.

| | Re: Swiss Euroskepticism | Quote: | |  | | | I suppose the name "Forum Veteran" isn't actually a leader. But whatever. | | | | | Nope, it's purely based on the number of posts. Most of which are vacuous, malicious, self-important attempts to be funny in the vain hope of gaining a laugh, a thanks or even some green blobbies. It implies absolutely nothing to do with leadership at all.
I should know.

| | Re: Swiss Euroskepticism | Quote: | |  | | | First, who said I wasn't interested. | | | | | Because you haven't responded once to anyone who has given you a serious reply to your initial post. | Quote: |  | | | Second, I wasn't aware that most people here aren't Swiss. | | | | | You've been told often enough by now. | Quote: |  | | | Third, I don't have to go to Hell to know that I don't want to go there, to put it in extreme terms. | | | | | So... you've read what some American journalist has written about a country you've never visited several thousand miles away and you think you know all about it.
Trust me. I've lived there. Greece is as close to a libertarian's paradise as anywhere I can think of. The government plays almost no role in the day to day lives of its people, because its people won't let it.
But don't be influenced by someone who actually knows what he's talking about. You've shown no interest in doing so anywhere else on this thread.

Are the Greeks stupid?
You'd love the Greek way of thinking. It's as anti-government and anti-EU as any I've ever seen. |
