About a boy shot by police? Or breakdown of order in a country with a crumbling economy?
BBC News: New clashes break out in Greece
The headlines cite the police shooting, but the below article by a commentator in Greece paints a picture of social breakdown, with the proleariat ignoring laws, and looting shops and banks. Coming to a city near you?

Greeks have protests as often as the British have tea. It's really not as big a deal as the UK media seem to think.

Please do not underestimate this.
This is so on topic. The forgotten generation are getting angry and where they lead others will follow, for endless reasons.
Don't believe me? Just wait!

We're too apathetic here to riot, unless things get really really bad, then who knows.

Incidentally, I wish the graph on the front page would be updated, it's only showing up to July 2008 and I really enjoy looking at it plummeting downwards.

The revolution has been called off due to inclement weather............I have to say watching those riots made something stir in my blood.......the injustice in this world can not be kept under wraps forever....there is something in the human spirit that is crying out for a change to our system of being..........thats the end of my Dr M L King speach...not very good was it.....

Crunchy...This is far worse than the Poll Tax and is guaranteed to worsen. People are not hurting enough yet.

TC, your speech was quite uplifting. So where do we go from here? I'm not very big and a bit too old for rash decisions but I'd attend a riot against this government's inadequecies as long as it doesn't get too rough.

We have more common ground than I thought.

That's because I make sense.
Sample... if you go back to that thread yesterday..Market Oracle: U.S. Federal Reserve Sets Stage for Weimar Style Hyper-inflation... I sugessed to paul that the dollar is on it's way down big time.
Check it out. Gold is around $850 that is going up!
Credit when due! Some would rather argue than protect their money. lol
Crunchy's logic and some inside info...Gold prices will rise when the dollar dives and It will. Please just agree with that. Did you get that chart ready?

Just a shot in the dark - are you from the States?
Your self-aggrandisement seems a little out of place on this site.

From UK, just very tired of BS. I love sticking it to the money grabbing enemy, I'm sick of it!
Now I like you, Now I don't. Now I like you. ... That is very UK. LOL.
15. gardeniadotnet said...
14. crunchy... Now I like you, etc.
Don't be so narcississtisscistic ( or daffodil-like, if you prefer). No offence. LOL

Fair enough, you're no sheep.
Good night.

When you are being constantly mocked, being right is the best weapon.
I will shout it from the roof tops If it means making a point.

Good night Weakling!

The Federal Reserve serves nobody other than the exceedingly rich financial families who run and effectively own it. Any action they take will be for the benefit of that elite and to ensure that they soak up even more of the real wealth of the nation, leaving the vast majority as mere wage slaves or beggars.
Crunchy,,,,,Some people can be so two faced that it sickens me.
