Teenage Riots in Athens - General

It's pretty sad to watch this. But i recommend you all to see it, so you can experience what is going on down in Greece.

They create some pretty good stuff.

Why did he say they got rid of Mussolini? Mussolini was the dictator of Italy not fucking Greece.

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;37035989]Why did he say they got rid of Mussolini? Mussolini was the dictator of Italy not fucking Greece.[/QUOTE] As Balphagore pointed out they were referencing World War 2 (although there were as many Germans and fascist Greeks as there were Italians in WW2), the military Junta (which they refer to as a "Coup d'etat") was later. I'm surprised they didn't mention the civil war or the independence war, they are rather important to the "revolutionary spirit" of Greece.

Well, I found the video really interesting. A new insight as to what is happening over there.

Thanks a lot for posting this video. It really changed my view on the crisis that's been going on there for a long time now.

Athens is a shithole anyway,I was about to go in a university there but I decided to go to some island.

And us American youth think its bad. Im 20 and I've experience our 20% unemployment rate. A 40% is ridiculous. Thats the point where jobs that used to go to the young are going to the older who lost their office and skilled labor jobs.

I was in Athens exactly a year ago & it was a shit hole & I thought it could not get worse. It got worse.

i hope our greek freinds carry on and stick it to the pig

Cousin goes to college in Athens, he said it's utter shit. The political parties (New Democracy and The "Radical" left) do nothing at all, and the majority of the students are idiots who go out and stirr up shit and make things harder for everyone else. Most people there are apparently just fed up of everything. A corner shop owner across from his apartment simply packed up and left after students kept smashing his windows and taking stuff he had on display.

I am not sure yet if the teenage part of the title is meant in a good or bad way yet. Teenagers run countries while older generations provide experience and fill in the gaps. Teenagers work the hardest, spend the most money, fight in wars and provide new ideas. Surely they don't mean it in a bad way?

Not really sure what to make of Greece's situation. Other than they fucked themselves hard

Wait, so not only there's huge street fights between protesters and cops. But the country is also in some-what of a civil war state between political parties? And I thought the situation there couldn't get any shittier.

This only reinforces my belief that the EU should just ditch Greece, they aren't getting back up anytime soon and it seems the people don't want EU anyway.

Ditch Greece and Greece will default. If Greece defaults, the world economy is wrecked.
