I'm beginning to think Tsipras is playing games with other peoples money....games that the Greek population will end up paying for.

I don't dismiss the possibility of the EU granting the bailout either...such is the madness surrounding this whole affair.

No problem, here's Tante Merkel's CC#.

Socalism is great till you run out of other peoples money to spend. Alot to be learned from this,, heck I had threads up about this years ago now you take notice. Puerto Rico seems to be going the way of Greece,,,http://www.marketwatch.com/story/pue...ece-2015-06-30

By the way, what happened to SkyBird?

On topic - atleast Greece is not defaulting due to a (more or less fraudilent) securities scheme like Russia does now.

Well, I think Sky's disappearance stems from his personal ideas about sending Islamists who refuse to assimilate back to the country they came from. Of course he is German so for having such ideas he was continually compared to Hitler and the Nazis by our resident crusaders.

If he was an American talking about doing that to Mexicans everyone would be OK with that and he would most likely still be here.

The Greek proposal has been declined so now we wait until tonights deadline passes and what happens tomorrow is anyone's guess.

But whatever, I'm beginning to tire of this 'crusading' lark, if people want a non-inclusive forum style then who am I to stop them?

The wide and diverse viewpoints are what make GT what it is and long may it continue.

None of us are as wise as all of us.

True-I only have the knowledge to balance my own budget.

Throughout of our time when we have had money we have had problems of any type.

I can't say which solution there is to all these upcoming problems I do hope some have it.

Anyway, getting back to the matter at hand, the deadline has expired, and now we wait until the results of Sunday.

Lots of clever tweets reminding us that Greeks invented economics & everything I just want to point out that the English invented football

If only there was some other currency that all of Greece could convert to quickly and $crew over those that helped them out. Oh, there is bitcoin http://http://money.cnn.com/2015/06/...reece-bitcoin/ LOL

If greece goes bitcoin it would be pretty amasing.

For all the Americans on here confused about Greece, please be aware that it's not a typo of grease, it is in fact a Country that exists in Europe.
