[split] Greek mess and off-topic from Paintbucket Europe

Otherwise, learn about money to learn about ownership.

Don't you think you should direct this towards the Greek members of the forum.

I am perfectly aware that there are many Greeks who are not to blame for the terrible situation which is facing their country (and Europe). I do however believe that a unique 'take all you can get your hands on' culture has emerged in Greece. The system is currupt, and this corruption (or abandonment of ethics) has sadly leaked down into the Greek population.

Britian isn't 'whiter than white', either. We've got enough debt to cripple even some of the wealthiest of nations. However, there is a certain stigma in Britian (and in many other 'major' European nations) when it comes to lending and collecting debt. In Greece it is seen as far more acceptable to effectively 'leech'.

Sadly, we're going to see some rather long lasting social problems in Greece as a result of this. It's not the sort of place one would like to raise their child, and it wont be for couple of decades atleast.

Let's keep this last sentence....probably the truest statement that has been made about Greece in all the endless discussions here.

Well then this means the country dies.

It's dead already (or at least it's been dying for the last 4 decades) so you know what they say - what goes down, must come up...

November 17th is coming up. Isn't that some kind of holiday in Greece? Correct me if I'm wrong. Could this be a day of violence and anger?

Not exactly ''holiday''. Its the aniversary of bringing down the Junta regime.

Its an ''intense'' day, every year. But with the shit we are on now, I guess will be worst

So we can expect to the riot police again I would imagine.

I guess so.

Its the day that leftists-communist-anarchist are ''trying'' to fight with the rightists (meaning Police ) like the students did with Junta. In a fail way, but yes, most likely there will be some kind of riots.

How uncomfortable is it currently to be an immigrant in Greece? Is the right-wing becoming more popular? Greek jobs for Greek people, etc?

It could be a window into what will happen to the rest of Europe in the next few years.

Not more uncomfortable for a Greek in Greece.

I haven't witness any difference from Greeks towards immigrants. Its the same.

Yes, right-wing is becaming more popular, but no for the ''Greek jobs for Greek people'' concept, but mostly due to criminality and ghettos.
