    Greece has no natural resources or industry. Their principal source of income is tourism. The man is right, no similarities.

    Where's that thing from argieland? Just look. You're a benchmark for shite. I quite like Greeks. I don't like argies. But it has to be said that, if we wiped argies out, there'd be over a million square miles to which Britain could send its unwanted immigrants. Britain has a history of sending the unwanted far away. Australia!

    Visiting Greece next month. It would have been a nasty shock to get there and possibly think it was Argentina. Thanks for clearing that up Mr Samaras.

    You can all bleep all you want about Argentina, beside only proving you all have some serious insecurities, the fact is at least Argentina is not the benchmark of depravity and barbarism. That honor squarely falls on the UK everytime anyone points to any modern conflict today, of which you were the cause.

    Death to the UK!!

    “A benchmark of depravity and barbarism ... death to the UK!”
    Just like throwing nuns out of planes without a parachute is considered civilized behaviour in you know where.

    Of course Greece is not Peronist Argentina Greece should not default like Argentina did. But it should leave the Euro zone and return to the Drachma... I believe that is the only positive lesson they can learn of post 2001 Argentina

    Under Nestor's regime, there were 3 things driving the economy, Soy Exports, Car Exports and Tourism.
    CFK has ruined each of those industries.

    I can't wait to see the Auto industry pack up for good.
    It can't be long now.

    Like I said in a previous article, your a white Hispanic with a half Spanish president and a half Croat foreign foreign minister claiming to be none of the above and yet you claim to have not ties to the mother country/continent.

    Blatant hypocrite if I ever saw one.

    How was your Italian derived food with your Spanish/French/Italian derived vino this lunch time?

    Ask how many of your ancestors butchered as the cast there dice through the Americas.

    Absolute joke.
