    First day of my Management degree today. Even though I have a computer degree already and have worked etc, and I am quite mature,I have to admit I am as nervous as a kid changing schools

    I think that I've come to the conclusion that:
    Treaty of Versailles (1918) + Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia (1968) = The Economic Conditions Imposed by the Troika on Greece (2015)

    When you have the Troika impose conditions, which are backed by countries which also have had austerity imposed on them (like Latvia and Ireland), then the conditions can't be great. The Greek Government now effectively has zero control over it's own Fiscal or Monetary Policy and is still expected to achieve something.

    Basically Greece is cussed beyond all cussing cuss and is totally cussed.
    The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

    That assumes that the Greek government ever had control of anything - something not supported by history.

    It's "not appropriate" to talk about gun control in the wake of mass shootings... er...

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...n-2015-so-far/
    There have been 204 mass shootings — and 204 days — in 2015 so far.

    That's sorted then.
