So what would have happened if Enosis had been implemented?

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

Here's a freebie to help you on your way ...

European doctoral graduates in the U.S.

43,300 doctorates were granted by U.S. universities in 2005. Of the 2005 doctorate recipients with known
citizenships, about 35% were non-U.S. citizens. The top countries in terms of the number of doctorates awarded to
its citizens are China (which accounts for 9.4% of all doctorates awarded by U.S. universities), South Korea (3.8%),
India (3.1), Taiwan (1.8%) and Canada (1.4%).

The six top EU countries are: Germany (11th), Italy (14th), the UK (15th), France (17th), Spain (20th) and Greece
(23rd). These six EU countries account for 2.4% of the total number of doctorates awarded by U.S. institutions (or
6.9% of the number of non-U.S. citizens earning doctorates).

On average, U.S. universities award about 1.6 doctorates to citizens of these 6 countries for every 100 granted at
home. This ratio ranges from 8.3% for Greece to 1.1% in Germany.

And a hell of a lot of good it's done Greece.

This hardly justifies it being a "European figure head," Oracle.

And it's a no-brainer that the USofA worked to bring down the figure-head European countries.



Greece? :lol:


:wink: Just clarifying a few matters.

We all know the Americans' viewpoint of the rest of the world. Hoped you were less parochial.

Continue your copy-cat Universities and 'democracy' systems with Greek ( - insert haughty Yank laughter - ) Blueprints ...


Now, Oracle, it doesn't advance your argument to insult me. Besides, I treasure my Hellenic heritage; however, I wouldn't exactly refer to modern-day Greece as a European figure head.


Care to advance, for our enlightenment, an American Golden Girl's point of view on 'Greece in the 21st century'?


One freebie down and "out" ...

So are you going to tackle this for us?

In case news is slow to cross over your corn-fields ....


Greece: Rising from the Ashes of Public Debt

Economic crisis not insurmountable

Its current economic slump notwithstanding, Greece has inarguably come a long way. Since the dark days of Nazi occupation, the country has taken giant strides to embrace modernity and join the league of developed economies. Besides emerging as an attractive tourist destination worldwide, the nation has shown remarkable dynamism in transforming itself into a knowledge-based economy and a hub of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Most importantly, as a tribute to the sagacious Alexander’s legacy, Greece today boasts of being home to the second most hard-working populace in the world, according to a 2008 Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) study. The nation may be battling the worst economic crisis in its history, but as the mythological bird Phoenix will concur, it is entirely possible to rise from the ashes.
