A majority of Europeans (53.3%) does not use a
computer. This is especially the case in Greece
(75.3%) and Portugal (74.7%).
the proportion of Internet usage is the lowest in Portugal
and Greece (14.8% and 15.1% respectively).
54.3% of Greece citizens state not to have read any
book in the last 12 months.
about 20% of Europeans
do not read magazines. It is again in Greece
(46.3%) and in Portugal (36.7%) that we find
a higher proportion of people who do not
read magazines.
Almost one European in two (46%) reads the
newspaper 5 to 7 times a week. The lowest rates are to be found in
Greece, Spain and Portugal (20.3%, 24.8%
and 25.1% respectively). It is also in these
three countries that the proportion of people
saying they never read a newspaper is higher
than in the other countries (30.5%, 23.4%
and 25.5% respectively).
They're poor because they're stupid.

In the private sector the majority of Greeks work very hard and often very long hours and for little pay, of course there are those that will sling the lead if they can just as in any society, but they are the minority; however, in the public people seem to work less hard, for fewer hours and for much more money.

Would be easier to simply not take out loans you can't pay back
Greece did it anyway
Edit: Another example. I know Croats who work in Austrian banks in Croatia and quite often travel to Austria for seminars and stuff like that. They have figured a way how to avoid paying bus tickets in Vienna and every single one of them is abusing it. Austrians aren't dumb so they can't figure it on their own. It is the mentality thing, nothing else. They know their country is going to become shit if they abuse, so they refrain from doing it. Unlike us, Slavs.
AH, So that is where my statement came from. The Government workers overpaid and under worked. Sounds typical of most Western Countries. Government jobs are cushy, easy and worth lots of benefits.
lol at americans talking about loans they can't pay back :lol:
Didn't say you are dumb. You are aware of the fact that you can do whatever the fuck you want as long you're major military superpower.
What it is silly laughing at other for taking loans they can't pay back when your banks were giving a massive loan to every hobo with a wooden shack, probably hoping that will raise the spending and create more jobs which after some time will create enough value to nullify debt. But it didn't. And because of you and your government every single country on this planet had to suffer.
Ah, blame the government for passing laws(at the behest of liberals and certain banks) that clearly allowed people who should never be given loans the option to have loans cause "IT"S DISCRIMINATORY" BS.
They're poor because they're stupid.

I agree. The less people are learned, the easier they are manipulated. Governments pillage public money while they cut civil rights and give money/favours to lobbies, and then they lie and blame others in front of the cameras and through media bought by them, and stupid people believe them.
Education is the base of democracy, and the separation of powers, which is hard to see but is how it should be.
Anders you are clueless as usual.#shocked
As to the whole deregulation of the financial sector nonsense you posted, deregulation started under Reagan the paragon of the American right wing. Granted, Clinton signed the repeal of Glasse-Steagall which basically let the banks run free, but to claim this was because liberals were complaining because people couldn't get mortgages is about the most ridiculous and asinine thing you've said, and you've said tons of stupid and asinine things. How you can oversimplify such a complex crisis into "it was the liberals fault" is just astounding.
Public sector jobs pay well and have good bonuses. Well yes, they have to in order to attract talent. Unless of course you want people who are unqualified to work in government jobs that don't pay well or have good bonuses, they you will end up with government positions filled by unmotivated idiots.
See? Schäuble offered German tax officers to train the Greek ones but they refused.all you know is how to capitulate :lol:
If we know something it's how to build tanks and how to get taxes from the people.
Instead the make a caricature depicting Schäuble as a Nazi saying stuff like "I gonna make soap out of those Greeks." :(
So mean...

Greeks are not "poor". People might start to have a closer look at how the financial system actually works and what kind of game is played there...Which you ofc already did years ago, so you went into some crappy jungle hut, nurturing some useless pets back to health... :lol:
Which you ofc already did years ago, so you went into some crappy jungle hut, nurturing some useless pets back to health... :lol:
And like I said, but perhaps you can't read well so I'll repeat: government jobs must be well paying with benefits to attract talent. Yes, they have strong unions but so did every industry before they were successively gutted by right wing administrations.
Which you ofc already did years ago, so you went into some crappy jungle hut, nurturing some useless pets back to health... :lol:Not... funny?
Which you ofc already did years ago, so you went into some crappy jungle hut, nurturing some useless pets back to health... :lol:
Plus: he got it absolutely right. Understanding how "our" system works makes you want to turn your back on it - at least for a while. So I did and did things that were more important to me.
I call bullshit. If practice has shown anything at all, its that giving large wages to people in government will definately not attract talent, just incompentent greedy assholes who at the same time are very compentent liars, easly capable of hiding their incompentence. Despite everyone reading this and rolling their eyes claiming that politics is mainly lying, I think you are really fully aware that it is much more than lying. If you are only good in lying then thats just not enough. The only place it does attract actual talent is police and other services, but definately not in pencilpushing officejobs and politics.

And Germans wonder why they're so disliked in Europe.
I can't speak for any other countries than those who have limited corruption in public positions. If that's the case where you're from you'll find the same attitude in the private sector as well as one adapts to the other.My place has hardly any corruption(pretty confident that its not related to the case of "cause it hides itself so well") and the pay is shit, yet completely talented people try to get in there in lines.
Yea, instead of doing something actual noteworthy, hiding in some backwater dump and feeding oh-so-cute cats is certainly something to admire.
Hypocrites... hypocrites everywhere... :lol:

Private may adapt with state and vice versa, but never count them as same. People go in private sector completely different reasons than those who go to state. If a talented person sticks to his position only because of his/her wage, than that is a pretty massive red flag. In my place quite often the people found being corrupt and dicking around with public money are generally people who most definately dont need it. And its just not here, its everywhere. Wage influences very little of how compentent the suit wearing politician is, especially considering that most politicians are uni degree owners and majority of them(or their families) do own several buisnesses. If you really look it up, im pretty sure you notice that not many politicans even in your place earn money exclusively from their wage.
Its basically a lottery tbh. In police, firedepartments and ambulance however, wage influences a shitton. Underpaying can lead to catastrophic results.
What's noteworthy, then?
To you it's not noteworthy but to some and I'll wager to the majority of people you ask it is.Please quote me on "victim blaming after the Charlie Hebdo attacks." I am honestly curios where you think you read something even close to that coming from me. :lol:
But I don't expect much more from a person that engaged in victim blaming after the Charlie Hebdo attacks.
Now that Leshma mentions it. Goscinny and Uderzo made the Asterix and Obelix comics and had quite a bunch of stuff in Egypt running. Cleopatra and whatnot.
Were they ever attacked for their work? Did they ever make fun of Muslims and the Islam?

Atleast Germans has legal prostitution.
I already told you once, but its ok, I can re write it once more.
Sure, Greece is full with corruption and tax evading citizens, but
THE BIGGEST CORRUPTION SCANDAL HERE IN GREECE, WAS MADE FROM SIEMENS.
