The Greeks know how to protest, I'll give them that. They're outside making moves while Americans are sitting inside trying to think of the most creative poster :rolleyes:

Yea, obviously. I don't care what they're protesting. They don't take shit from anyone unlike the weak protests here funded by Soros and unions. At least they're making news and getting riled up. I wish people got this mad when our government did the wrong thing. Our population is ten times theirs and yet we have nothin.

They look foolish to you, but I think it's great that people are empowered. Yea, it's the wrong cause and they obviously don't economics, but at least they are showing their power by taking it to the streets. Americans don't take it to streets. We pick up the remote control and take it to the next episode of Dancing with the Stars.

That's a pretty foolish statement to make, just look at history: French, Communist, Chinese, and Nazi revolutions.

Yea, I'm not denying bad things can happen. But, if an entire society wants something and fights for it, then they should have it. The consequences may be bad and even downright inhumane, but it is up to the people then to fight back. If these protesters just stayed inside and went on with their daily lives, politicians would get the idea they can do whatever they want. Look at the United States. It is filled with TV heads that do nothing but drive from point A to point B and don't bother to protect their rights and individual liberty.

So while I do not in any way, shape, or form endorse the Greek protester's message, I do endorse their courage to assemble and fight.
