Yes because destroying the economy and causing citizens to suffer because you accepted terms to impose austerity on an already depressed economy so you can get a loan you couldn't pay back is a very responsible thing to do. The former finance minister spoke of three ways Greece could pay off its debt in a sustainable manner in the video Messhugger linked, if you don't think he's right feel free to argue why he's wrong. But it's good to know you think democracy is bad when people don't vote how you want them to. Yes, Germany has really been ****ing things up the last few years. Anyways the referendum has plenty to do with self-rule which is a key component of freedom. Which given the posts the last few pages is what people are talking about ITT.

Not sure if it's been posted yet, but from the horse's mouth: http://yanisvaroufakis.eu/2015/07/06/minister-no-more/#more-8433 Funny, but not surprising. Say what you will about Bruce, but he's consistent about his disdain for self-rule and freedom.

Not really surprising, both hate the EU and Israel quite a bit.

I don't really use reddit but I'm surprised that people hadn't abandoned that hellhole for something better long ago.

If you have to ask, the answer is probably "they can".

From what I recall, she came into it when the FF twitter account tweeted about it. Since then McIntosh has been poking gg for attention periodically. The best course of action, imo, is to ignore FF(tweets and videos) because it isn't particularly noteworthy or relevant or of good quality. If the E3 announcements and success of The Witcher 3 are any indication, the opinions expressed haven't really managed to take hold with anyone outside an increasing irrelevant cabal of bloggers.

I don't know if I would go as far as calling culture critics and bloggers journalists, that word still means something to me. I feel the same, which is why I've been calling Kotaku, Polygon, RPS, and others bloggers. Online columnists aren't journalists at all and it's more than a little insulting to actual journalists, dying breed that they are, to compare them to bloggers who post navel-gazing drivel.

I blame Matt Damon and the legalization of gay marriage in the US.

Different US regions aren't analogous to different European states. Perhaps if the Articles of Confederation were in use rather than the Constitution that would be a fair comparison, but that isn't the case here. A weaker currency is better if your primary industries, tourism and agriculture in Greece's case, benefit from having a favorable exchange rate because it allows you to export goods at more competitive prices. Adopting the Euro was an utterly idiotic move on Greece's part, given that their primary industries heavily benefit from favorable exchange rates and are much less competitive without that benefit. Greece would be required, under the EU proposal, to both cut government spending and increase the tax burden on individuals. Assuming Greece functions like most other economies, this is going to reduce the economy. Which brings us to Krugman's point that Greece is being put in a position where it is impossible for them to pay back the loans, and a cynical interpretation would be that the Troika is extending the loan in exchange for Greece's public assests which it will most likely sell.

Good. The Euro was a mistake.

This man has Half-Life 3 hidden in a package.

That belongs in the small packages thread.

Bernie Madoff is a master packager.

He ran off with a lot of packages.

This man fights for a larger package.

And this gentlemen, is why I date Latinas.

The last US war that wasn't a preventative strike was WW2.

http://www.politicususa.com/2015/06/27/bernie-sanders-history-raising-money-gop-presidential-candidate.html Sanders has managed to out raise all current Republican candidates. I agree. That abomination needs to be stopped and I can't support anyone who would go for something like that. Except for Trump of course, who I'd vote for to get Fallout IRL to happen.

Yes.

Does that make Mexico shoes or pants?
