I didn't realise things in Greece had gotten as bad as it has.

My God. Guess the illusion of the perfect world is only that.

For the place that supposedly invented the intellectual sciences, it sure does look like the dumbest place on earth at the moment.  Gee-wiz.

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

Well second dumbest right behind North Korea.

Yeah well they're not complaining about politicians evading tax like we are!

To be fair, it depends on what you grow up with. If you're an activistic person, you're going to stand up and be just as defiant against politicians' tax evasion or utter oppression, as it's an extreme cause compared to the rest of your life. If you're not, you just live and die with it.

I was joking. Tax evasion is nowhere near as terrible as the seeming collapse of Greece. It was a witty (if I dare say so) comment on how better off we are in Britain despite whining constantly.

It's always a thing, where countries with order see money as a bigger issue then social chaos, and countries just going nuts think the exact opposite.  Or not. It depends where you lean.
