I seem to remember they owed the Allies after the first world war a bob or two in reparations for the four years worth of damage to Allies for four years of rampant death and destruction rained on the world by German militarism. They were let off most of the payments in the 20s and 1930s because of hardship caused by the recession of 1929.
Then after another five year binge of destruction which wrote off over 26 million Russians, 1 in 3 poles and 6 million Jews, laid waste to most of europe and for that they got a massive injection of cash from the Marshal plan that kick started the whole of west germany and is the reason why we all like VWs and BMWs.
Shame they cannot extend the same magnanimity to Greece a country also laid to waste and a million dead Greeks at the hands of the German Army. Mind you, mention that in Berlin and you'll get the standard reply "ya but that was 70 years ago" my reply to that is ... "only 70 years ago"
Once again, another illustration of the bankers greed and the Greeks need coming a very poor second. It really is time we changed the system.
Women... You cant live without them and you cant shoot them. Not fair is it. Why are women so complicated and why is it when your trying to do you best by them, they think your up to something. I recently told my favorite sprog not to bother seeing me this weekend on account of the fact that she is in love with a young man and I would prefer it that she spends the time with him. I said this simply because she can see me any old time and her boy friend and her work. For this consideration I get busted.. Its a frame up judge.
