This is a nation that twice in the last century ravaged the continent of europe in their piques of rampant, arrogant nationalism. There is a character flaw in Teutons that is a mile wide. That's why I HATE Greek governments that put the nation into the position of having to turn to those jerks for a bailout. Greek politicians have forced the nation to go cap in hand to the Germans. This is why it's so important to introduce economic reforms and get Greece out of this position as soon as possible. In the meantime, Greece's government should push other members of the EU for more better terms. There are many others in the EU who don't care for Germans and have suffered under their yoke in the past-Greece is not alone in that regard.

No matter how much the Germans try, they will never have the passion of the Greeks, or the rich food, culture, history, religion, music and kefi, filotimo, warmth, or sense of humor of the Greeks.
