I more realistic reason for printing that money is the ECB already said they will have to get rid of the interests rates they would have earned to help Greece out of this mess. This will by itself brings Greece debt per GDP down 3-5%

That's why I said they need to develop industry again, cause there is very little at the moment.

Culture and economics are different thinigs. Greece is going through and will continue to go through a bad period for the next 2-3 years. They need to develop industry again, reliance on service sector and tourism did not work. Liberalization of the economy is a must.

To those celebrating Christmas today or tomorrow, have a good one! To those celebrating January 6th, its almost here! Happy new years aswell!

Thracians are the people the ancient Greeks described living in Thrace. I don't think they called themselves "Thracians", but since we know little to nothing of their language, we continue to have to call them this. I think modern day bulgarians do decend from a mixture of Thracian, Slavic, and...

Democracy is not the only factor about the hostilities with Iran, but it does give the "west" the moral high ground. The practical reasons we have discussed before. I also have to disagree with you about the concept of "modern regimes". These regimes arn't cracking down on religious extremist...

I'm not Jewish, I can see things from many perspectives. Its very evident that the arabs/muslims don't want peace with Israel, they want Isreal off the map. Religion is still a big tool in the Middle East, it can and does manipulate people, Hezbola literally tanslates into "Army of God". The...

People arn't seeing this through Israel's perspective. Hezbola is a proxy of Iran, Iran doesn't need to fire a nuke at Israel, they just have to let Hezbola do it, or just give them a dirty bomb. Israel has been in hostile relations with its neighbours since its inception, they had many wars and...

Criticizing an ideology, be it a religion or a government type, is not racism, and should not be confused with each other. Religion is not bound by a certain group of people, a "muslim" is not a race as much as a "christian" is as much as a communist is.

What's with all these references to Illyria, did you not read Teranis posts? or do you read selectively? "1) The Illyrian Hypothesis The Illyrians were an Indo-European people who lived in the northwestern part of the Balkan peninsula, including the northern areas of modern-day Albania. Very...

Yetos, don't bother trying to argue with nationalistic albanians, they think they are macedons, Illyrians, thracians, etruscan, Pelasgian, atlantian, or any people that were seen as "an ancient great people" because albanians see themselves as a great people, deluded or not. It's called...

I thought Ptolemy highjacked his body and brought it to Alexandria Egypt.

Thank you for taking the time to write this.

Greece should leave the eurozone (not the EU) for 5-10 years to get its hosue in order.

Where I think Gheg speaking shiptars originated? dacia maybe, only clear if one takes a serious study of the Gheg language without Tosk influence, though I find it interest when I hear that albanians and modern day romanian language share similar vocabulary, I believe I read that here on this...

Stop posting outdated evidence then I'll take you seriously. Out dated evidence. Oudated evidence, albanians are everywhere were they are now because they were Muslim in the Ottoman empire, and had greater freedom of movement. What do you mean no serious institution? its recorded when the...

I'll say it again, because you are mad about the truth, Albanians do not decend from Illyrians. Albanains began to appear in the middle ages, alot of migrations happened in the middle ages. Albanians coverted to islam under the ottomans, this is why they were able to grow in the 500 years, the...

Well said.

It is true that church still had a big influence in state affairs and politics, the church in rome had very little control over actually dictating orders to the rulers of catholic europe. The Patriarch of Rome was very much just a political tool for the catholic elite to grapple each other over...

Christian tradition, christian teaching and christian implimentation generally was not the same thing overall in the medieval era. King's invoked the authority of god to give meaning to their ruling. In the bible, the new testament, there is no outline like there is in the Koran about how to run...
