  1. Whether you agree with anyone who expresses an opinion in this article, it's a great example how reasonable, mature people should argue. ;) You can make your point, severely criticize the ideas and actions of others, while keeping it civil..... and, actually set the tone for a discussion not a cursing match. Even though I may seriously disagree with some of you on a variety of issues, I do appreciate your civility in arguing your views. Thank you.

  2. seems like we are definitely negotiating with lazaros. A decent move but we need a CM, as all the posters can see. but apparently not our management and coach??

  3. Big mistake letting Cordero go he was a perfect back up, I have faith in Galanopoulos, he seems he can do the job for us but will lack experience at times. Would be good to get a CB, DM and a winger by end of the month but don't see that happening, we will be lucky to bring one more player in id say

  4. A Quick scan: Greece did almost the perfect job in Q4 a.k.a. P/O having only three teams left: 5 wins and one draw. Good for Greece are the elimination of Slavia Prague, Basaksehir, Split, Lokomotiva, Sønderjyske, Brøndby and Grasshopper. They represented countries around us. Good that Rapid Vienna lost at home after winning away with 0-4. Bad that Belgium did very good. All teams that started now in GS. Bad that Sparta Prague won 3-2 at the end and progressed to GS after 0-0 away and at home trailing 0-2 with the winner right before FT. Hope we all have a good draw tomorrow.

  8. I am a 55 year old professional who left Greece at the age of 19 to study in Boston back in 1981. I have been back and forth to by beloved Greece about 40 times since then! Every time I went back I always wondered what could I have done to stay in Greece and prosper as I have in the USA and Canada? The answer every single time was NOTHING! I would have to participate in illegal practices as everyone does in Greece(the majority anyways) mingle with DHMOSIO and their practices, pull my hair on a daily basis because some hack did not advance my case for anything…and resort to leaving the place I adore for some lunatic who holds a position and demands kick backs in order to advance my case! I am accustomed to legal practices and that's all I know. I would be subjected to illegal practices on a daily basis in my beloved Greece. I chose to stay away and visit it any time I wish without having to resort to anything I referred above! Greece is only for vacation and for people that money is no object! I establish that a long time ago!

  9. Yes... please go live in China where civil rights are taken away at the blink of an eye, where a government restricts what you can watch/read/access, where the birth of little baby girls is looked down upon, where pollution levels in major cities is a "regular thing", a place where infectious disease outbreaks occur on the regular because of poor hygiene and cleaning practices in marketplaces, where minorities are racially discriminated against on a daily basis and are held on a lower class as an overall society... the list goes on and on.... You really have no idea what you are talking about as your main reason for not living there is the "chinese food" makes you sick............Again... arguments of a 12 year old... or an extremely ignorant adult In regards to America, I do believe America is a great place to live. There are problems in America (as in every country in the world) but most Americans are very fortunate compared to the rest of the world... the AVERAGE American has all the ammenities and luxuries that most people on this earth crave for In regards to your particular "concerns": 1) Healthcare Being in the healthcare field, I can spout on for days about this topic, but to be short. Overall, health care is pretty good in the US. This includes everyone from the VERY RICH to the VERY POOR. Despite what is written in the media or popular belief, everyone has the RIGHT to healthcare... from the citizen who has lived here for 100 years to the undocumented person who just got across the border... EVERYONE gets the care they need... If you are undocumented, follow up care can be a bit difficult as most of the outpatient medicine is insurance based, however I usually tell my patients to reach out to "teaching clinics" which are staffed by experienced physicians and training doctors (residents) or if their condition worsens then they should just go to the emergency room The major problem with healthcare in America is cost. B/c we have the most advanced medical technology, doctors order extremely expensive tests w/o clear indications for these tests and thus this drives up medical costs. There are currently grass-roots movements to help educate medical professionals in helping curb unncessary tests. I am currently heading an initiative at Johns Hopkins to help educate physicians on judicial use of antibiotics, for instance 2) Violence There is more violence in USA than most countries in Europe but I strongly believe this is also associated w/ the fact that a typical citizen can go out and buy a gun w/o any extensive research on the purchaser. This is a debate point in the election this coming year and hopefully some regulations go down on who is able to possess a firearm However, MOST violence is centered around gangs and poor inner city neighborhoods (drug hubs). I currently live in Baltimore which is considered one America's most dangerous cities, however I still find it relatively safe. One has to be cognizant of their surroundings and you'll be fine 3) Poverty The median American household makes 55,000 a year... The median Greek household makes 12,000... The poverty line for the US is around 12,000, however once you meet that level, you recieve a ton of support from the government on the state and local level which includes (help w/ provisions, free healthcare, subsidized housing... etc.) Greece has support for the less fortunate but is not as extensive.. Additionally, to throw some more STATS your way... The unemployment rate in US is somewhere 5-6% where in Greece its 35-40% (even higher 50-60% in younger people under 35) So there you go.... takes notes.. b/c THATS how you construct arguments....
