    No wonder Greece is broke. Present them with an economic opportunity and they protest it.

    Enjoy austerity!

    Working tends to get in the way of drinking, protesting and beating the shit out of ones girlfriend.

    Last week, about 3,000 residents demonstrated in favour of the mine.


    At least they're not all insane.

    Thge article didn't really present the case either way. Are there particfular environmental concerns wiht this mine, as compared to others? Is it in a tourist location? Has damage wrought by another mine made them antsy? Or is it just a general "mines bad" mentality?

    I was also suprised there'd be any gold left in the area, considering continuous habitation for thousands of years.

    That seems like the kind of speeech that might expose an identifiable group to hatred or contempt. Best watch what you say.

    As the price of gold rises, deposits that were unprofitable 5 or 10 years ago are becoming worth exploiting. We're seeing the same thing in Canada.

    Their fear seems to be born out of ignorance, they need a mining major to show them how to make some coin in a primary industry. At some point you have to quit making pennies off of touring people around the ruins of your formerly grand civilization and build something new.

    Who died and made you the Human Rights Tribunal.


    I seriously hope you were joking because if you weren't, you should steer clear of the Idle No More threads, the Sheep Shagging Scot threads, the Irish are drunks threads, the marijuana makes you smatrer threads and come to think about it, pretty much every thread on this board that isn't related to sports and even then?

    Maybe. Maybe certain groups deserve some contempt, like perpetually drunk-as-fuck wife beaters.

    I hope you're not speaking ill of the gratuitous tit shots on numerous threads (Hump Day Hottie, Moneymaker Monday, etc). :twisted: I'm already anticipating xerxes' next heaving chest submission.
