OME, Jan. 2 (UPI) -- Violent protests in Southern Europe reflect growing anger and despair among youth shut out of a future, economists and political observers say.

The most highly educated generation in the history of the Mediterranean is facing one of its worst job markets, experts warn.

In Italy, where university cuts have provoked protests, President Giorgio Napolitano warned of "the pervasive malaise among young people" in his year-end address, The New York Times reported.

""the pervasive malaise among young people""

The malaise amoung the young today is not about economics or jobs.

It's about political correctness brain-washing.

Hey spoiled, stupid youth...

Identify a market need.

Offer to fill that need at acceptable market prices.

Create your own jobs.

Young unemployed males were perfect candidates for the Brownshirts in 1920s Germany.

“Losers. They should take their government back from the bankers.”

That’s funny! It’s worked so well over here. Hello? Federal Reserve? Can we have our money back that you transferred to to the European bankers please? Oh, and can we have our money back that you transferred to the New York bankers that loaned it back to you at interest that we pay for?

The biggest scam in history.

“You mean that Socialist State thing isn’t all it is cracked up to be?”

Maybe we should be asking ourselves that? Hmmm?

“They are only a couple of years ahead of us. If anyone thinks the generation of people under 30 around the world will voluntarily pay for all the debts of the boomers, the rude awakening alarm clock will soon be going off.”

Oh yeah. the bad Boomers once again. Who washed your brain? Divide and conquer. Let me have the names of your Boomer relatives so I can eliminate them once the ‘revolution’ begins. Seems like I heard the same shit back in the 60’s.

Question: would it be illegal for a huge group of Americans to storm/invade/kill the Federal Reserve?
As far as I know, lethal force is justified in the actual resistance of being kidnapped or enslaved here in America, no?

All of Them.

What about the morality of the situation?

LOL! Like the same thing is not happening here?

At least the Europeans did not elect a muslim to destroy their country. They are smarter than American youth.

If you think it is any better here you are delusional. Americans traded their liberty for a TV clicker and the Obama-fawning NFL. At least Swedish govt workers use the term Christmas. Pretty much banned here.

No one seems to want to actually LIVE under socialism.

It sounds good at first - but it never really works out. People just scam and scam and those that do work are just punished. So they just give up and scam like the rest of them.

It used to be the best and the brightest then came to America. I can tell dozens of stories of some of the smartest aerospace and computer engineers that came over to America in the 1970s and 1980s. They nearly doubled their salaries and cut their expenses in half. And they did great work on programs you take for granted today.

None would ever go back except for Christmas and summer holidays.

I can also tell you stories of Russian world class scientists and engineers driving taxis in Moscow to make ends meet.

This is a HUGE reason America did so well for so long. The best and brightest were rewarded for their hard work here. And for that they created, innovated and built real wealth. And America reaped the rewards.

Now where in the world do these people go? It won’t be to obama America. They can get that at home.

Except that these spoiled yutes have been brainwashed into expecting government to do all these things. If any of them get the idea to try it themselves, that same government will be all over them with crippling taxes and regulations.

Not to mention their own peers who have been trained to view another's success as being won at the expense of their own.

Once you destroy the independent spirit of a people that gives rise to booming enterprise, it's real iffy whether you can ever get it back.

43% of people over 60 voted for Obama. Over 50% of baby boomers (45 to 59) voted for Obama. Young people voted even more heavily for the muslim. You reap what you sew folks.

Pay back hurts bitchez.

Keep watching Obama TV where every station including Fox loves Hussein. Americans traded liberty for a TV clicker.

All right, you have eleven armed mobs simultaneously storm the Federal Reserve buildings. Who do you shoot? The clerks? The guards? The middle managers?

Do you plan to take cash out of the vaults? (Do they HAVE cash in the vaults? Do they have vaults?)

The morality is not black and white. Your difference with the Federal Reserve is that of policy. What they do is not illegal, nor is immoral in the sense that its destruction is imperative to save lives.

You’re letting emotion rule. Think. What you propose would make as much sense as stopping child obesity by burning down McDonald’s and Burger King’s headquarters.
