Greece and Iceland: COUNTRY FAIL? :D

The funny thing about both is that they thoroughly and absolutely deserve any and all financial karmic catastrophe befalling them. These are not poor struggling countries, but simply countries with completely unsound and idiotic fiscal policies (but for different reasons). So they should go fuck themselves.

They should sell the entire country to Turkey.  Would solve the debt problem, and would let Turkey enter the EU ;)

Genocide the Greeks and the Greek deficit is a thing of the past ? Careful with that Final solution ;)

Greece - lied about it's budgets, spend like a drunken sailor

Iceland - didn't know/care what it's banks were doing

slightly different...
The difference is that the Greeks acted out of partisan political interest and the Icelanders out of greed.
