Quoting: insertfunnyusername Tsipras going to USA to get his 'orders', it won't be long now, spring sounds correct imo. The worst thing that can happen to a people is to realise they have to "trust no one". Very true. I think the vast majority has reached this point of realization, not only young and educated people, it's spread throughout our society right now. and here too... I'm afraid that it will only get worse as more and more people struggle financially and more scandals at least here in Greece will come to the surface. We'll reach the massive mob-lynching at some point. The biggest problem for me is that the opposition is controllable by TPTB too, there's no way out of this. |

No there isn't a sign per se, at least i don't remember one, but it's well known, bus stop right next to the tree is called "sacred olive tree" and the metro stop Eleonas a bit further, the neighborhood is called Eleonas too, had to cross this road daily for 2 years when i was living in Chaidari years back, very shitty neighborhoods around to begin with though, but how they managed to move all this thing? Twas pretty big, sounds like an organized plan. Useful for the govt agenda no doubt. Last Edited by insertfunnyusername on 01/19/2013 08:28 AM |
