I know a lot of people who browse this section are very right winged
Fucking really?

I'd wager a lot of the people who regularly use Serious are liberals/Democrats.

OT: Read "A Universe From Nothing" by Lawrence Krauss.

He talks about how quantum fluctuations could lead to the spontaneous development of a Universe.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by 'positive' laws.
Something moves a certain way because a law demands it to--as opposed to something moving a certain way because it can't move any other way.
That's literally a tautology.

Deci, I don't want to stand in your way of making a coup script, so I went ahead and added unique user ID classes to thread and PM view as well as a rank title class to go with the prefix one. You can now edit individual's post look and layout in whatever script you decide to write.

Good luck, mate.
This is a terrible idea.

You're going to destroy our internal hierarchy.

He sat me down in the living room and asked me if I'd come across people who "are not straight". I said yes, and he told me not to worry about what position they're in--"be they colonel or lieutenant"--and that I should put them in their place. He gave me a tip, which was to grab their bollocks as fast as I could and squeeze them as hard as possible, and that way they won't come back to bother me.

Yeah, good pep talk.

So a virtually broke Greece leaving the Eurozone would cause financial disaster
The thing is, any country leaving a monetary/political union would cause financial upheaval as the market has to shift and move to accommodate the changes. For instances, the City of London would be hit hard by a U.K. exit because it would have to re-allocate resources and alter its structure to deal with the new methods of conducting trade which would come from separating ourselves from the rules and regulation of the Eurozone economy.

Plus there's a good chance Greek will default on their public sector debt, a good chunk of which is held by the private sector. The lack of confidence incurred by the mis-managed Greek exit could negatively effect the stock and bond markets making things further difficult.

I have to admit I don't understand the internals of the Eurozone as well as I should, but I think Greece could pull off a decent exit without too much trouble.

Serious / Greece will probably leave the Eurozone

According to Alan Greenspan.
Quote
It is only “a matter of time” before Greece is forced out of the eurozone, the former US Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan forecast. The prediction came as the UK chancellor, George Osborne, said Britain was “stepping up” contingency planning for dealing with any escalation of the crisis.

The former US central bank chairman said it was hard to see any other final outcome of attempts by the new leftwing Syriza government in Athens to renegotiate the terms of the country’s €240bn (£179bn) international bailout.

“I don’t see that it helps them to be in the euro, and I certainly don’t see that it helps the rest of the eurozone, and I think it is just a matter of time before everyone recognises that parting is the best strategy,” Greenspan told BBC Radio 4’s The World This Weekend.

Osborne, who held talks in Downing Street last week with anti-austerity finance minister Yanis Varoufakis, will join fellow G20 finance ministers at a summit in Turkey on Monday where the situation in Greece will dominate discussions.

He warned that a Greek exit – also known as Grexit – would cause “real ructions” and “real instability in financial markets in Europe”.

“This standoff between Greece and the eurozone is increasing the risks every day to the British economy. That’s why I’m going tomorrow to the G20 to encourage our partners to resolve this crisis,” he told BBC1’s Andrew Marr Show.

“It’s why we’re stepping up the contingency planning here at home. We’ve got to make sure we don’t at this critical time when Britain also is facing a critical choice add to the instability abroad with instability at home.”

Asked about Greece’s future in the euro, he said: “Obviously it’s a decision for the Greek people, but Greece has chosen to stay in the eurozone and has worked hard to stay in the eurozone, and frankly a Greek exit from the eurozone in my view would have very serious consequences not just for Greece.

“That’s why we’ve got to avoid this crisis getting out of control.”
Can't say I disagree. I do so very much hope this happens.

When I clicked on this thread, originally, I thought it might have something of value within or an interesting topic to discuss.

But I forgot to check whether or not it was created by you, and as a result I'm both sorely disappointed and angry.

Instead, Greece has to make a stand, and actually work out a deal that is deemed fair even for Greece.
And that absolutely shouldn't include an indefinite line of financial support to encourage more profligacy on the part of the Greek government. We are not going to be paying for future mistakes; fiscal austerity and economic restructuring are simply necessary.

I read that Israel is spending a lot of money to get European Jews to emigrate there.
I wouldn't move there myself unless they had thoroughly destroyed Hamas.

But I'm not Jewish anyway, so. . .

What's that building at 17seconds with the armed guys?
Either a Synagogue or a government office, I'd guess.
