To paraphrase James Brown:

“Coming to America... block by block... burn the nation”

Everybody’s hurting economically so what do they do. They destroy assets. Makes as much sense as anything else done in Greece I suppose!

[Iron Munro]

The best way to help these people is to do nothing.

Let it collapse around them, let them reap the fruits of their socialism.

The survivors might have learned what not to do as they rebuild.

-——The Greek problems are so sad. However, their present mess is our future mess.——

Not if we act now to reign in the debt and start growing the economy again....

It will take some hard decisions that will affect millions of people to make them became part of the productive class rather than the parasite class...

Of course that is as likely to happen as Ron Paul becoming POTUS

It looks like Greece could make a big step just by cutting his meal allowance!

“to make them became part of the productive class”

Good luck with that.

You can’t make someone productive.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Gimme gimme gimme and make someone else pay for it. When you don’t get what you want, riot. This is the end result of an active program of government dependence.

Give me free pie or I burn down the bakery!

——You can’t make someone productive.——

I think you can if given the right incentive like given the choice between eating and starving ....can motivate one in the right direction....

I would think most people would rather work than starve .....but than that would make me a mean spirited evil rethug....with no compassion for the “victimhood” mentality.... / s

And, as is typical of Communism/Socialism...he will salt his own fields.

[RoosterRedux]

People don't need to be given the incentive to survive...they must have the natural desire to survive (a desire which overwhelms faulty/foolish/humanist ideology).

They all have it...only their brainwashing has neutralized it!

Reichstag fire?

-——You can’t make someone productive.-——

of course you can.

You can give a typist an IBM Selectric and then a word processor. You can give a tire changer an air ratchet. You can give a carpenter a circular saw and an air nailer . You can give a grave digger a back hoe You can give a small contractor an I phone

Italy will make these riots look like your average Saturday night football hooligan riot.

---

Italy will have civil war of some sort. The north is sick and tired of the south mooching. Kind of funny.........northern Italy has a “green” movement. Literally. The green stands for money. Folks in the north are starting to paint things green,like crosswalks and such, to remind the locals of the movement.
