@duncan7599 I was raised in Greece, lived there. I would know more about my nation than you.Have you ever left the US? I explained, just because the legislation states you can legally retire at 50, does not mean you physically *can*. A citizen would not be able to survive by retiring that early.Most retire at 62. The public sector may be 'broke' but the country itself is rich in physical assets.I returned from the US, and could not believe the amount of homeless people digging through trash

@EffLabels Then you know nothing about your own nation because the retirement age has just been increased to 65 in Greece. It used to be in the 50's for most workers. Look it up. You need to get at least some education. Your nation is one of the most broken on Earth and is having a negative impact on the world markets.

@duncan7599 Lol Sorry,you sound naive. No Greek citizen can afford to retire at 50, it's basically impossible. No matter what the government legislation may state, the reality is the opposite. They're rioting for the same reason the people in Wall Street and Europe are rioting. They're fed up with the system,- not work. The news and pictures of America shows a country that has a 15 trillion dollar debt, they need China's financial help and are at War with two countries-Not a very positive image

@EffLabels The amount of weekly hours means nothing. I am talking about your country's pension system that is a huge part of why Greece is broke. Most Greek workers expect the government to pay them life long benefits when they retire after 20 to 25 years at any age. That kind of pension is unsustainable and will break any nation that adopts it. Now Greeks are rioting in the streets because they are told they have to work longer now. Don't denie Greece is broke, the news and pictures are world.

@duncan7599 The market is trying to distract people from noticing Italy and Spain who are in more serious situations.Greece the country is not being bailed out, the German banks are being bailed out, the same banks who were dumb enough to lend the money. Greek workers actually put in longer hours than anyone else in Europe — 42.2 per week, compared to just 35.6 in Germany. If you look at full-time figures, it is even starker.(Google it) By your logic, Americans are lazy because they are in debt

[duncan7599]

@EffLabels I know that but for some reason the whole world market is paying close attention to Greece and is being horribly effected by it. Every time Greece needs to be bailed out again by other nations because Greek people are lazy and don't like to work and expect free public pensions for life at the age of 55 what do you think is going to happen to this nation? It will break. And every time their is bad news about Greece economy, American markets crash for some reason.

@duncan7599 Dude, Greece is the size of Miami. It's far too small to impact any global economy. lol You do know America has a 15 trillion dollar debt and needs to borrow money from China. If there is anyone to worry about, it's America

@honeysweetboy19 I disagree about 'working together'. They have different languages, different religions, different values and live in different countries.There was genocide committed against Greeks. I think that each country needs to worry about *themselves* Everyone must stop depending or using one another, and have some independence. Like Switzerland. Create your own identity.
