Much Of Greece Shut Down Due To General Strike

[Yakovlievich]

Cuts never get made to the military or to corporate subsidies.

Instead, its workers who get picked on.

[athenaptr]

[TheAtheistworld]

[Internetheld]

I want you to get mad, REAL MAD! I want you to open the window and yell: Im as mad as hell and im not going to take this anymore!

[groterichard]

[jordie1411]

GOOOO GREECE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHOW THE WORLD HOW IT IS DONE! THE WORLD NEEDS WORKER.. GOV. NEEDS WORKERS... BANKS NEED WORKERS.. AND WE WON'T WORK FOR FREE.. WHILE OTHER GET BILLIONS.... WE ARE PROUD OF YOU GREECE!!!!!!!!!!!! i

[rw5791]

@jordie1411 ,the berlin wall came down 20 years ago,duh?

[KcKommunistisch]

This is what happens when the government uses money and jobs to bribe voters.

The GREED of Civil Service Bureaucracy will always override what is best for the country.

When will Americans open up their eyes and learn!

[jordie1411]

Americans are so dumb and confused.. so many still back the gov. while they gov. steals and lies and turns them into slaves.. GO GREECE show the world! God Bless Greece!

[fatcatbuzz]

@KcKommunistisch As soon as the same thing happens to us. I has, it just hasn't been sever enough. Don't forget that their government was spending more money then they were making and giving their employees huge bonuses and lots of vacation time.

[abortabraham]

Its funny that the little commie bastards on here don't see the irony in public sector workers striking against the government for CUTTING SPENDING to reduce the DEFICIT... Sorry folks, there is no "we the people", or "we the government", its all a bunch of people reaching into the public purse, no more virtuous than any other common thief.

[TheTelevisionPirate]

Listen, you people can argue with me until the end of time if we could, and I will always tell you government is the most inefficient way of doing things.

I voted Obama, and I don't know what the hell I was thinking, other then I got caught up in Obama Fever and forgot about what's important. But I was gonna be damned if I voted for McCain too.. So that left me with a third party candidate, which I should have voted that ticket just because..

Like in South Park..

Between a Duesh and a TURD!

[TheTelevisionPirate]

I don't want either one of those, so I could of picked an alternative that still stank, but not to high heaven!

hehe....

[jordie1411]

It's not your fault everyone )(me included) got caught up in Obama fever.. he is the devil in a black dress.... The prob/ is the system the whole rotten system needs to change.

[SubmarinerAndroid]

Thanks, BBC, for telling us nothing about the causes of the crisis

[Budvb]

This Quote could go to Greece, They Loved their Money, & nowpaying for it.

"We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality & religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." John Adams from his Oct. 13, 1789 address to the military.

[saumacus]

Loot the looters! Go Greeks!

[Budvb]

Haha what people will do for Money! I have an Idea work for free and you can have all the things you want! Just that you have to do everything from inside your country untill the rest of the world find out it's a great system!

[TheTelevisionPirate]

@Budvb

...someone they expect all the time, and eventually your economy goes in the tank like Greece.

America isn't the greatest either, but it's nothing like what's going on, on the other side. Don't say shit to me until you do your RESEARCH!

[Budvb]

Never said America was Great, Personally I think the American Indian system was the best all around. I wouldn't mind losing all this Technologies to have a Peace in my Soul!

[Orionx30]

Here is a people that control their country, the government doesn't control anything. This is exactly the way it should be, the government was irresponsible with their money and the people speak up.

[TheTelevisionPirate]

@Orionx30

Yeah, but their socialist ideology is falling apart don't you think??? The whole problem with the over spending is government doing to much. They're government is overloaded with socialist ideologies which is cool at first... Until your country is broke as F... Then they can't print any money that's worth a damn cuz they're in such high deficits.. You can't run on deficits forever..

Some people need to help themselves.. Government should not be a crutch.

Just sayin that's all...

[Orionx30]

I completely agree.

[TheTelevisionPirate]

USA DOES HAVE BALLS!

They want to take care of themselves, we understand if you let government take shit over they fuck it up!! Waste more money then we need too, not saying there is no Health Reform, sure there is.. But letting the government take over the health care industry is a disaster waiting to happen! No country can stay in high deficits to long... And thrive!

With socialist countries every one has to lower their standard to help everyone else!

THOSE PEOPLE NEED TO HELP THEMSELVES

[TheTelevisionPirate]

The whole problem in the first place is OVER SPENDING!!! That's where we're heading if we pass health care... Wait a minute, we're THERE PEOPLE!! WAKE THE FUCK UP!!!

It has nothing to do with having balls, it has everything to do with COMMON FUCKING SENSE!!!

Socialist countries never work out!!! We can't save the world people, and some people just need to take care of themselves, and not expect the government to wipe their asses every time their feelings are hurt!

GIVE ME A BREAK!

[Artist1974CH]

TheTelevisionPirate, I feel these 2 stupid wars are causing America financially plus the corporations such as the Banks keep messing over money that belongs to working people. Also, I am so sick and tired of so-called American patriots getting so scared over "Socialism." The chances of millions of Americans protesting in the streets is Zero because there are some Americans who don't care and there are some who being misinformed by watching stuff like Fox News. This country is divided!

[TheTelevisionPirate]

@Artist1974CH

Okay I really like how some tells me I don't know what I'm talking about. I know exactly what I'm talking, people abuse the hell out of the system, and I'm willing to work for mine!

So what I'm suppose to pay for the next lazy slob?? I think not! I'm not a rich person either, but what I have is everything I worked for. I don't expect a handout, and I don't think other people should expect that either...

Government does not profit at all, therefore it's a waste of money...

[TheTelevisionPirate]

@Artist1974CH

Plus socialism runs good business off to other countries, and that's a fact.

[Budvb]

No it don't! Did you parents run you out of the House when you was born? I think we could Learn alot here from the American Indian, Their Clans survived by Helping each other, was this then a bad type of socialism. Any Type of system you bring to the table and is ran by Unmoral People will Fail without a doubt. Now if you bring to the table Moral people, I bet it won't fail but thrive!

[Budvb]

I would love to Create a Moneyless society, where everything is Made within the Local State, If we can't do it within our Moneyless state. Then we don't get it untill we figure out to do it. And after 30 Years of laboring for your fellow man you are allow to Teach and Retire to non physical work. Like I said the American Indian was ahead of us, I think we was just a 1000 years late in seeing the society we have today, in the pre American Indian!

[TheTelevisionPirate]

@Budvb

Just so you know where I stand, I did vote for Obama for health care reform, but not this.. Not total government control, and I can't explain it any better then government wastes so much money.. Everyday, and every where in government there's waste. As working person who pays taxes, I think that's sickening to the bone!

I can't stand it when I hear about congress, and the house, and all the rest of those idiot politicians who drink on our dime! Hell, we even provide the alcohol...

[TheTelevisionPirate]

@Budvb

Helping someone is one thing, doing everything for them is another! Why don't you learn some grammar skills buddy, sounds like your not very educated!

They're country doesn't have money because most of the jobs there are public sector jobs, not private job where the money is.

I'll be the first to admit that the Free Market is a wild beast, and doesn't treat everyone fairly. But there is no good answer, moderation is the best. Help people when needed, but once you do to much for ....

[Budvb]

lol your an Unmoral Person =( Judging Others then makes you wanna fight a War don't it! =) I know sometimes I do mistype, I'm sorry that seems to Hurt your feelings! A Free Market system will be like a Super Bowl Ending, One Business will Take it all! Then where do you think we will be? my Friend

[Budvb]

I can Tell you China is winning, which I wouldn't Mind they have Survived a couple 1000's years so far. They are the Oldest Civilization still alive and going today!

[xxashyy]

Yeah but the reason China is booming today is because of Capitalism and NOT the Communist system. Also the reason most European nations are going bankrupt today is because of Socialism.

[Budvb]

The thing that scares me about Capitalism is that, it's not profitable to replant trees, after you cut them all down. And it is a Dog eat Dog world it will create Untill the last Dog is standing and controling all of us as slaves in a Jail population, because it more efficient to have people live as Prisons!

[Budvb]

Like I said, the American Indian Lifestyle before they allowed us to destroy them, looks better everyday that goes by and as I get Older! You can Keep your Wars and all Your Technology, for I would rather keep my Soul and Peace! God Bless

[xxashyy]

Well you can smoke peace pipes with Indians all you want while the rest of the world passes you by then.

[Budvb]

You know what that would be ok with me, I will get to watch the Sun and Stars, as well as watch the Trees grow and Take only what I need from the Land to survive and only take what I need. I wouldn't have to go to work to make more Money for someone that don't work, and then when I retire gives me nothing for making all that money! Amen! Heaven

[73cupcake]

As I once heard it described on Patriot Radio News re: Indians - the women spent all day cooking and looking after the kids, while the men spent the day hunting and fishing. Only the white man could screw up a system like that! :)

[Budvb]

Nice one =)

[TheTelevisionPirate]

@Budvb

I do agree with a lot of what you said, but I still stand. Socialism isn't the way. We should not be cutting down trees, but using HEMP to our advantage! But most people are so ignorant and think that cannabis, and hemp are from the same plant. THerefore that's their reason for outlawing hemp/cannabis...

That thinking is SO FLAWED! Look at alcohol prohibition. I cannot believe people dont see that prohibition is the cause of all this crime..

[TheTelevisionPirate]

@xxashyy

AMEN!!!

AND CHINA IS ONLY GETTING A BILLION DOLLARS A DAY IN INTEREST ALONE FROM US!!

Government WASTE makes me sick!

[TheTelevisionPirate]

@Budvb

I didn't mean to sound like a tight wad about your writing style. AT FIRST, you came off not knowing anything. If you have a stand, and you know some what of what your talking about, I'll listen. You do after reading enough of what you have to say.. Sorry about that again...

I know the White Man has done some shit in the past, and I like I said about money... I don't like it any more then the next person.. But the fact remains Indians now are getting pay back that is well over due.

[Budvb]

You might enjoy this. watch?v=H3unYdOqPbQ

[TheTelevisionPirate]

@Budvb

I hate to say it, as ideal as it sounds, A MONEYLESS world that is.... Is a fairytale land, and I don't disagree with you on that, but the fact remains. The oldest saying in the book!

IT IS WHAT IT IS....

I don't like anymore then the next joe, but the world is made up of all kind of different people rich, poor, in between, and also people who work damn hard to get into the free market that we'll be railroading if we ram this health care thru like the Obama Administration wants it.

[Budvb]

It is what it is.. I also say.. I know most of that divide in this world is ment to keep us fighting each other then striving to be the best we can be Together. What I can't understand is why someone don't want us to strive to be the best is beyond my understanding, but from what I see its been like this way, for a long time. I forgive you as well, and Thank you for looking past my mistakes and taking a look at what I may say! I am Imperfect as well. So i try to keep an Open Mind! God Bless

[Artist1974CH]

TheTelevisionPirate, America does have a little socialism which benefits people. It would be nice to have Universal Healthcare in America. I really don't want public services and programs to be privatized by Corporations.  With the recent Supreme Court decision, it is hurting a lot of good well informed Americans. Instead of worry about "Socialism," you and other should be worry about Fascism in America.

[TheTelevisionPirate]

@Artist1974CH

Don't talk to me like I'm an idiot! I know we have SOME SOCIALISM! We don't need an all socialist health care though. TO many people are against it, and no we're not rich people. They're speaking loud and clear! We cannot maintain high ass deficits.. AGAIN..

GREECE PERFECT EXAMPLE!

If you can't see that I am not wasting my time, because your not changing my mind. AFter the crap that I've seen go on in my state capital is the same crap that's going on in DC! BOTH DEMO-RATS!

[TheTelevisionPirate]

Just so you know, I hate both parties a like.. So I'm coming from really a non-biased report here. Or I'm biased against both parties however you want to look at it. lol...

I think they need to make it easier to bring other parties in. In my state you can only run as a D, or an R.. No Independents, no Libertarians... Crap, crap, crap..

You know what else would help the democratic engine better.. Is giving term limits to those dead beat senators wasting space for half a century!!

[xxashyy]

Socialist Greece should not get a bailout. Let them stew.

[TheTelevisionPirate]

AGREED! THIS IS A FUCKING JOKE!!!

[PersianPaladin]

Solidarity.

[chad00023]

i am pretty sure we americans have some balls were just not ready to comit to another civil war!

[educution]
