Riots engulfed central Athens and at least 10 buildings went up in flames in mass protests late Sunday as lawmakers prepared for a parliamentary vote on harsh austerity measures aimed at keeping the country solvent.
Wow, the rioters are fucking geniuses. In a country with high unemployment and broke, they decide to destroy public property that will have to be fixed up with money Greece doesn't have, while they loot and burn places that provide(d) employment. What a brilliant strategy to get Greece back on its feet. Bra-vo.
"saturn_656" said Greece is spiraling the drain. Primary concern is making sure the Greek's creditors are repaid.
Getting the country back on its feet seems to be a secondary consideration.
I assure you, my sarcasm was directed entirely at the rioters As for what Greece is doing, ya gotta bail the water out of the canoe before you can fix the hole. Whereas the rioters would prefer to just smash and burn the canoe.
Problem is, this still wont be enough.
Going to be a long hot summer.

Where's Andy?
And likely, no government soon. This will like bring the current government down and have one less amenable to deep cuts in it's place.
the current Greek PM isnt elected.
the current government was supposed to hold elections in February 2012.
I wouldnt expect an election before 2013, and by then it will be too late.
I got my bid on Thea Cropolis. I dunno what she looks like but someone told me she was beautiful.
She may start like this
but Greece is famous for its ruins, so in a few years you are stuck with..
and just wait until she hits forty
