Re: Syria shoots down Turkish fighter.

This isn't surprising. Turkey has been routinely violating Greek airspace over the Aegean for as long as I can remember. Apparently the Syrians have the set of balls that our guys lack.

I'm not sure I buy that. I mean, yeah, ten, five, even two years ago you would be right. "Fuck everyone else, I got mine" really is the one, true faith here. But it's not an adequate explanation for electing the same idiots who drove the country off a cliff, who cannot finish a sentence wi...

Re: Greek Elections-June 17 2012

Unfortunately the people lapped up the lies and the propaganda, and fear won out in the end. Samaras finally got his wish and became the prime minister. I doubt his government will last for long, but for the next few months, at least, he's free to do as he pleases. I only hope that he doesn't screw ...

Re: (Greece)Neo-Nazi MP attacks fellow female MP's on live T

Meh, that's SOP for them. They always sue the victim that dares to press charges. And they get away with it because they have significant support among the police and courts. Hell, last week the police arrested 8 of them for fighting with some anarchists in a cafeteria, trashing the place and sendin...

Re: (Greece)Neo-Nazi MP attacks fellow female MP's on live T

True. But recent polls have consistently shown them at 4% or, while they've been beating up immigrants and Lefties every night and generally being obvious nazi fucks. This incident is significant only because it was caught on live cam, and I really doubt it'll make a difference to those who support ...

I don't think it will. The online response to this incident has been mixed, with many commenters praising Kasidiaris. Unfortunately this kind of macho bullshit has its appeal. If anything, it will help convince idiots that Golden Dawn is serious and worthy of their vote.

Re: Neo-Nazi party in Greece could enter Parliament

On topic: not being an expert on Greek politics, but it seems to me that Greece is in for a political stalemate until further elections, as I can't see the Coalition of the Radical Left working with either of the other two main parties. And will anything change even then? You're right. SYRIZA (the ...

Re: Neo-Nazi party in Greece could enter Parliament

1. Why would they support Nazi's given the Nazi's invaded Greece. I am aware lots of nations have fringe groups which support Nazi's even though if the Nazi's were around they either invaded the nation or would have treated harshly that nation's ethnic groups. I am sure they each have their bullshi...

Re: Spyware! Spyware everywhere!

I checked my system.ini, and nothing seems out of place. It doesn't contain much anyway. I could cp it if you want to have a look.

And I have no idea what my Vista CD is, as I haven't been able to find it anywhere. Will check back if I do.

Re: Spyware! Spyware everywhere!

Alright, I replaced AVG with MSE, had it perform a full scan (10 frigging hours), redid all scans in safe mode, even ran combofix (without a backup, thanks for the warning White Haven :P) and it found some files it didn't like. But the problem persists. Spybot still finds stuff that should probably ...

I got AVG, malwarebytes and spybot installed on my laptop, all fully updated and semi-frequently scanning. But lately it has been slower than usual, using way too much ram and cpu on idle, spybot always finds a dozen various malware even in nearly consecutive scans, and avg occasionally shows a popu...

Not always.

One other annoyance is that the UI gets way too clattered when there's too much action. When I last was the Holy Roman Emperor and three quarters of the empire rose in revolt against my tyranny, I had to start moving popups so that I could actually see the map and order my armies around. And I secon...

Re: Merkel depicted as Nazi in greek rag

Thanks for the link Narkis.

Problem is the first situation seem...

Their wage is too low to support the lifestyle most of them have chosen, but it's definitely possible to live on it, and quite comfortably. I've read that their average wage reach about 2k euros per month with the bonuses they get, when minimum wage was about 700, and is now 591. Tax collectors have...
