it's only a donation as if we sent them a loan they wouldn't pay it back

Reminds me of a line from John Dizard (of the FT) about Argentina, he was talking about trading their bonds and then said, parenthetically, "Surely no one invests there?"

I am really sorry that you joke about a situation that the people in my country are not entirely responsible. When you get a salary of 350-900 euros each month having Master Degrees or PhD is not a joke. We pay rent of 370 euros minimum and we try to survive with dignity so we didn't chose to play all these political games and we pay taxes and bills etc. Feeling trapped in your own country is not the best feeling. So please think twice before you start joking when any of you could be in this situation. Thank you.

Love GR, in what sense are the Greek people not responsible for the Greek debts, the fact greece uses the Euro, and the budget deficit and expanding debts of Greece? If you mean you personally, then sure.

Why do you feel trapped when you have free access to the whole European Union which countless millions outside of the EU would give almost anything for ?

Don't worry, Sir - you will have the last laff. Soon Italy, Spain, Portugal will be where you are\were. Then the big fish (UK) who is slowly dying inside, sort of imploding in slow motion will join you and everyone will forget about Greece as they gaze at THE FALLEN EMPIRE that will be in the limelight.

You will have the last laff.
