Greece presented the EU with incorrect figures and lied about their financial state. If there was any shoehorning done, it was because Greece painted a rosy picture. I dont see why the EU has to be blamed for the mess in Greece.
Its like jailing a person for leaving their home unlocked instead of jailing the burglar for entering it.
Yes, and the EU knew the figures were fiddled and didn't care because the political aim of achieving ever wider union, with the euro as the currency. So it's more like inviting a known burglar into your house and showing him the combination of the safe before you go out for the evening.

Well you are right. So the EU is very much to blame here. This does change my perspective about the EU and it's role in this disaster.

But as a percentage of GDP, little Slovenia has the most at risk2.6%. The most worrying case among the creditors, though, is heavily indebted Italy, which would bear up to 39 billion in losses, or 2.4% of GDP..... http://blogs.cfr.org/geographics/2015/05/07/grexit/Semmick Photo, stay here pls!

TSIPRAS ANNOUNCES CAPITAL CONTROLS AND BANK HOLIDAY
Its official, capital controls are being imposed in Greece, as the financial crisis takes an even more alarming turn tonight.
Speaking on live TV, Alexis Tsipras is saying that the Greek central bank has been forced to recommend a bank holiday and the introduction of capital controls.
He blames the ECB, and other institutions, for trying to obstruct the democratic referendum he has called for next Sunday. This is a insult that shames European democracy, he says.
Tsipras also appeals for calm, and he insists that bank deposits are secure.

I know this site for a long time now and a couple of years back it was a very negative and harsh place. However, it seems that things have changed....the community has matured and grown a lot over the years, and although there will be always heated discussions and difficult times, most of the Trolls and insults have vanished while maintaining the critical feature of anonymity.
Nowadays I see so much constructive Discussion, helpful opinions and competent and helpful Members around who are not only able to support each other, but too to value and respect conflicting opinions.
We showed that we can change things. Take action together (Fotolia, DPC, Symbiostock,...). Coordinate our small share of the stock world and try to improve things....and this makes me proud and look at this Forum in a different way.
So I just wanted to say Thank you to all you guys for participating and Tyler for maintaining this place!
Now off to lunch 
Amen to all said & Bon appetit!

44m ago 11:08 Austria: Greece would have to ASK to leave Austrias finance minister, Hans Jrg Schelling, has flagged up that Greece would have to ask to leave the eurozone, and get the permission of the rest of Europe: Greece would have to file a request to do so. The other EU countries would have to approve the request. Only then could Greece leave the eurozone.There simply isnt a clear way for a country to simply exit the single currency. Martin Schulz, president of the European Parliament, told my colleague Ian Traynor recently that any country leaving the euro must also leave the EU. http://www.theguardian.com/business/live/2015/jun/28/greek-crisis-ecb-emergency-liquidity-referendum-bailout-live

Have some empathy guys because, like the Greeks, most of us have zero control of events that can land us in the *, and it could happen to any of us.

..and all somebody has to do is link the median wage instead of the average...
here: http://www.wikiwand.com/en/List_of_European_countries_by_median_wage
Those values are GROSS income. In Portugal, after the huge taxes (among the highest in Europe) the NET income drops considerably and those 694 will fall to under 600.
And if you consider we pay some of the highest prices for energy, fuel and everything else there's not much money left for anything.
Here is your net income. There are 10 EU countries behind Portugal and Greece!
Portugal has 8177/12 = 681/month NET
2013 !

Greece is still not taxing their rich people, it is legal for the ship billionaires to not pay any taxes. Greece hasnt gone after anyone on the list of people hiding money in Switzerland and although Switzerland has offered for years to send Greece money from their citizens through anonymous 35% taxes, they way they do for other Europeans, Greece has refused to take those 10-15 Billion euros a year.
Not really refused!According to Swiss legislation, banks are NOT obligated to provide information on depositors, unless they have been prosecuted for money laundering. This makes it prohibitive for the Greek authorities to substantiate cases of suspected tax evasion. http://greece.greekreporter.com/2015/03/27/swiss-banks-will-not-release-information-on-suspected-greek-tax-cheaters/ATHENS, April 28 (Xinhua) -- Greece's left-wing government promoted a deal with Switzerland in the framework of a wider campaign to nab tax evaders during talks with Swiss officials here on Tuesday. http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2015-04/29/c_134197035.htm

And about the other thing you said earlier that you dont support p5 due to the absense of the extended licences,well let me put it this way about ss.
A rape is a rape regardless of someone passing a bottle of lube and giving a hug every now and then (pardon me for being so colorful)
I never said that! Cobalt asked Q do they offer extended licenses and I just answered no. All I am saying, with P5 current no strategy to increase sales and attract buyers, 50% is not going to help much to overtake "horrible" SS.

P.S. why P5 doesn't offer packs?
You need to get off your nutty campaign against Pond5, how would a pack work when all the files are differently priced? They also offer credit packs already https://www.pond5.com/index.php?page=credit_packages
So what P5 can offer to buyers to divert them from SS?
