Hence your propensity for speaking before thinking and giving the persistant illusion that you're a numbsack.

I have some mixed feelings on this subject, I have a sister who has tried to slit her wrists twice already this year.
She was unsucessful and is now going to be in a mental hospital for months or years, not sure exactly.
So as I was cleansing up blood off her apartment floor tonight, I still can not understand and probably never will understand....why do such a thing to yourself?
An intelligent Human can do such a thing once s/he becomes quite sure that it's wise to trade all her/ his tomorrows for a single -unreachable otherways- yesterday

It 's true that there has been unrest, but it was not a devastating issue like, say, LA 92. A stupid cop killed a kid for nothing, the government reacted not as it had to react, the anyway socially pressed civilians drove loco and the Police were ordered to react not because they wanted to avoid more casualties -ridiculus. I think that the whole issue was handled by our government quite wrongly -I understand that the civilians are enraged and they are right, yet they have the right not to destroy everything. Unfortunately, our government were passive to the hilt in front of a dynamic issue that was asking asap a crystal clear and immediate response. For instance, they could simply have the killer policeman jailed asap according to the Greek law, and then they could have sent the Police forces on the spot in order to block the rioters and drive them away... But anyway this government is disastrous for Greece🙁
Athens, and Greece as a whole, is not a dangerous country -no more dangerous than UK, France or USA, that is.
Regarding the terrorism issue, the small team that appears to opperate in my country it could be easily dislocated once we had the will to truly coop with UK and USA, as we used to do till 2004.
