  Not saying the former greek leadership is without blame, but as mentioned earlier, they never should have been allowed to join. Then based on overly-optimistic projections about 'growth', banks from other countries 'lent' them unreasonable (risky) amounts of money. Which of course (suprise) they couldn't pay back.

  Rather than force the banks/lenders/speculators to take a loss (apparently that isn't an option anymore) the IMF steps in to the rescue with - you guessed it more loans. These loans however were used primarily to pay back the original loans (90%). The loans from the IMF comes with strings attached (austerity) which only makes the situation worse. When offered another loan/bailout you can understand why they might be inclined to say no thanks. Default and rebuild is their best option. Not going to be easy, but still best.

  If you would like to read more about how thw whole IMF racket works, I suggest Naoimi Klein's - The Shock Doctrine.

  Suits and ties. Nothing seems more old-school corporate. Maybe one day we will see a picture of Jesus returning on his white horse in a suit and tie. I wonder if he will be in trouble if he doesn't? Perhaps some private counsel from his 'brothers' will be necessary...

  Oh man, That was so well done on so many levels. My favorite before this was the Git version, but that was just incredible.

  after watching the latest jw movie, i noticed that there are a few important details that the covers to these releases left out... so i took the liberty of correcting a few errors here and there for those who were confused as to the real point of these movies.... introducing, the "religion wreaks havoc" series!

  you will cringe as you witness first-hand the damage that blind faith does to everyone involved!.

  starting with the first:.

  Good point oppostate. Also, with any type of water activity, the 'buddy' system is always a good idea.
  

  But, since this is probably in the new system (after 1000 year trial period) there is no need to worry about drowning. Apparently though, you can still be stupid.
  

  I told my wife, if I have to wear a tie for any reason in the 'new system', I don't want to be there....

  My wife leaves the latest issues on my pillow when she gets back from her meetings. I often scan through them looking for nonsense. When I saw this gem, I burst out laughing!

  Later, I asked her to tell me what was her first thought when she saw the picture. I prefaced my question with a remark about not being critical, just wondering what this was about. Of course she hadn't seen it yet.

  When I showed her the pic, she had the same reaction. When she recovered, she suggested that maybe he was going to a meeting. She also sends mags to her son and she said he would for sure have the same reaction.

  I was wondering what kind of shoes he was wearing , then I saw the front cover. Classic.

  How it begins

  found this perusing quotes from charles dickens book 'great expectations'.. pause you who read this, and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on one memorable day.

  charles dickens,

  great expectations .

  So you were 'born-in'? If so, my condolences. My observation was probably better directed to converts. Regards...

  That is for sure the first 'formal' link DOC. But I was thinking of something earlier in the process. What was it for you?
