:1orglaugh What a bunch of morons.

That will show the IMF, we'll burn down our historic buildings.

.

it isnt the first time for them

Well, guess I can scratch Greece off my bucket list.

Greeks are so fucking crazy...

This! Is!! Spartaaaa!!!

:thumbsup

And then, they need to lend money to repair their city lol

That was Rome ...

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:thumbsup

.

some music to cool them down...



I hope they don't know that she is dead.

I've never understood this - your upset with the government over financial issues so you burn down government buildings?

That's just like the damn OWS. Our country is having financial issues, so let's cost our local governments millions in damages and police costs. Fucking brilliant.

There's a reason why that country's in deep shit to begin with. And it's not for its citizens being geniuses.

I hope Spain, Portugal, and Italy are watching this mess and don't go the same route. A Eurozone banking meltdown would certainly adversely affect financial markets here.

In Greece, getting thrown off the government tit is a hard reality for a society where so many are on the government dole (think pensions and patronage). The socialists will fan the flames with entitlement rhetoric and the unemployed will eat it up.

I noticed that the private sector was rather weak on my last visit to Athens. Many seemed to be suffering from a severe lack of ambition resulting from their welfare state economy. I saw groups of street sweepers just standing around waiting for something to do. I can only assume they were on the time clock and being paid for their idleness.:2 cents:

If you have your wages cut in half because "Goldman Sachs" fucked the system you might riot too.

When Capitalism fails its because, the people are lazy, the unemployed don't want to work, or maybe Capitalism does not work.

All coming to a town near you in the near future.

:winkwink::winkwink::winkwink:

or maybe because some assholes want to set up a dictatorship :2 cents:

This is the greek's own fault for wanting something for nothing. Namely, more pay than the country can tax for. Kind of like the US. except that it is more endemic in the greek society. at least the US has some wealth it can go after and can keep borrowing.

It's time to face facts. The northern Europeans simply have more efficient and productive societies and should now rightfully take their place as the kings of Europe. Any hard-working, talented and driven people from the south should migrate north and leave the rest of the people in places like Greece to tend to the olive groves and serve rich northern tourists. It's the only way.

their country is not competitive because of the euro... (everything is too expensive to produce). Germany should have helped them, if for political reasons they wanted to have greece in the euro zone.

Kind of sad and probably this will not happen only to Greece, the beginning stages of anarchy

For a country that relies on tourism, that may not be the best way back to national prosperity...

Ahahaha, the uneducated left chimes in.

What the Greeks riot over and call austerity are successful countries normal days

The more homes that burn the more roofs to build. Good business?

exactly :2 cents:

Won't be long before the Greek government sends the army into the streets I suppose.

This may well get "Arab Spring" type ugly real fast :(

They are very genius DamageX...be sure about that

110k protesting in a city of 655k. that's pretty much a revolutionary situation.

there is some amazing photos on twitter.

There is lots of cool stuff on twitter, you just have to have the right tools to see it all.

...We don't need no water let the motherfucker burn! *Throws hands in the air, and fucks the system like I just don't care*

Give the guy a motorcycle and we've got Ghost Rider.

But in all seriousness, that's fucked up.

Pictures of the LA riots are needed here.

France
UK
US
Greece
Where next?

The situation is in the future the world will be creating a two tier system. One were a section will have jobs and a future and another sector where they won't have either. Sounds great if you're in the sector with jobs and a future, sucks if you're in the other.

So what have those without a job and future got to look forward to, fear or have to keep them in their sectors of town? Nothing, they will start to do the only thing left, riot.

Throw the police, army, civil guard at them. To keep those in power and in the privileged sector happy?

Build walls around the disenfranchised, or walls around the privileged?

Problems never get smaller by not fixing them.

While I will always oppose Cherry and a few other Liberal solutions. We need a solution to the problem. That doesn't need guns and walls.

i'm sorry if i don't understand fully the whole situation, but isn't the european union bailing them out?? because italy's (where i'm from) taxes are rising to compensate for bailing out greece and ireland....so yeah wtf?

It's not a proper riot until the dog turns up.

Greece should never have been allowed to join the euro in the first place, it's books were cooked from the start, they went from 6% to 3% deficit in a year.

They should just default.

I think your taxes might be rising to bail Italy out.

Yes the Euro is a mess and a few countries need bailing out because they over borrowed. And yes taxes will rise. Still the Greeks are rioting because they don't think they got enough of the loans and therefore shouldn't have to repay the money.

Maybe they would like to come up with who should pay back the huge debt their country run up. Was it the politicians they voted in because those politicians were handing them nice little goodies, paid for with the borrowed money?

USA has the same problem, maybe even bigger, but they just keep printing money.

Yeah, come tell us how its the most inteligent that get rich, and that anyone can be rich, keep the lies coming in spite of how many time we post evidence of how wrong you are.

Its all the Greeks fault cause they are lazy...Too much welfare makes unemployment, Vietnam attacked America, we live in a democracy....blah blah blah

Just don't let the facts get in the way.

Which of course the Greeks can't do because they're in the euro, and therein lies half the problem.

All part of the process of moving to a sustainable post-capitalist model. Would want to hope Europe can sort that model out before it comes to rioting on the streets in the good old US of A. The debt situation isn't any better over there and the standard of living is already lower than Europe form my understanding...
