And since when is having fun a crime around here? If I want to get depressed I can just watch the news.
Okay, maybe I'm suffering sense-of-humor degradation. That happens sometimes. But I hadn't actually read this anywhere yet, so to me it was news. Interesting news. And it was in a discussion board, so presumably you were looking for some intelligent discussion.
As for wormy guy's comments, he merely pointed out a fact. Greece and Mississippi are both poor. Greece is a money pit for Brussels. Just as Mississippi is for Washington. In 2010, the federal government channeled $5,584,088,732, or $1,900.24 per capita, to the state of Mississippi. They're living on my dollars down there, just as Greeks are living on handouts from Brussels. I'm not sure Mississippians are worse at driving than Greeks. Both places have high accident rates. I'm not sure whether Mississippians are as chaotic as Greeks. Both are places where people haven't learned to respect the concept of a queue in banks and other waiting places. But, as poor as Mississippi is, Greece is even more poor. It's an objective, demonstrable fact that wormy guy pointed out. You needn't be so defensive about it.
Well px actually lives in Greece so he's touchy........as well as other unpleasant things.
