Greece in trouble

[passer-by]

Ok... apparently now nobody agrees with the riots.

I didn't post this ''now'', as you seem to imply, but way earlier. I reread it and find nothing that suggests I like this mess.

@all
I'd better post less in this thread as this issue is quite close to my heart and  I feel I can't be polite enough to continue. My inbox is always available though and I'll answer direct questions in this thread when I see them.

I honestly think that some people here like to argue.  I do, sometimes, but not now, and to prove that I won't post anything else here till the 22nd. 

I'm sorry, but you're the one starting all the arguments here.  You have 3 threads to prove that, everyone against you. I have no need to fight, so don't take this that way. Also, in my first sentence I just tried to point out I was confused, not to start an argument. That's why I replied to the questions as I felt right.

Well, when some violents acts start and someone say/thinks/ "Oh... I hate violence, but something good could get out from this" I tend to see him/her as suspicious. I do this for two reasons:

a) If this happens in my country and extreme-right groups start a revolt to take the asshole we have as a president out I wouldn't think "Oh... I hate violence, but something good could get out of this". I would think "Oh... I hate violence, nothing good can get out if this morons are finally heard..."

And

b) I' ve seen during my life a plenty of hypocrital attitudes towards violence, with institutions loudly saying "Violence is bad" but secretelly thinking "Wow! This is helping my crusade a lot!" (Nationalist parties).

I am not saying that you are in "B"... But explaining why of my suspects. If you are not in "b", I hope you' ll be able to accept the apologies about my assumptions.

Edit: Yes, Tuomas, 3 discussions in a row. In one, people tried to convince me that socialism is more effective than free market. In the other people tried to prove me that God existed. And in the third people was putting "buts" to violence.

When it comes to discussions I don't "count" how many people is for one argument and how many people is for the another.

I simply messure the weight of the arguments.

The situation sucks..all of it.
First anarchists:
Why?
Because the burned down all the buildings,but didn't burn Hondos Center, Notos Galleries, Attika(all those are huge mall stores,sort of)

Secondly those who just went to take stuff.
They just suck for every possible reason

Thirdly the cops:
because today a 15year old girl was treated like a criminal arrested by 5! cops.. at least she survived

Fourth the woman(yes the one she shot the kid, I'm using she because being a man is more than appearing as so):
Because instead of saying the truth he used inexplicable lies, trying to prove the kid is a criminal...if that is so.. then we're now safe..I'm speechless of what I've read and it's surprising how words can't always depict feelings.

How are thing going in Greece now? I hope the worst is over and that things improve for everyone.

Well, things are going better. Less and less episodes every day. At least the media seem to show less and less. Some good peaceful riots are going on this week, and glad to announce my university will not need me to attend so 2 weeks of vacations added. Yay.
