Is that the expression?

So we have armed roberries by Albanians one after another, all Greek victims resisted and beat up the Albanians while suffering themselves injuries.

A Greek woman mother of 4 was lethaly stabbed to theheart by 2 teenage maroccans in Madrid, Spain
and on top of all that some chinese gave lip to a Greek driver he responded, a dozen chinese came to the rescue of their compatriot and got all beaten up by the Greek driver, who happened to me a martial arts expert.


If that is not enough wolves and brown bears terrorize the countryside.

untill i have inmind some trustworthy study ill only say that i have the impression that immigration increases crime.


there was a study that showed that greeks commit more crimes than immigrants butit was false since it included traffic violations as crimes and yes greeks did those. but for violent crimes there was no distinction...

another factor is the 70% of populetion in prisons are foreigners although im willing to concede that could be a result of discrimination.

neverhteless to the mind of the avergae citizen there isnt a shadow of a doubt that immigration and albanians/romanians in particular are to blame for increased criminality.

Got spare money?

Almost right Paiktis - totally correct form is "it never rains BUT it pours" as in it doesn't rain a little - when it rains it's a downpour, a flood, a torrent, monsoon (you get it).

As for the causes of crime, I'm pretty convinced that poverty (maybe reletive poverty) is root cause of most crime, although not all.

There's plenty of documented evidence to show that the Albanian organized crime gangs in particular are responsible for the dramatic increase in sex slavery in Europe over the past decade. It's worse in Mediterranean countries of course. It should be pointed out however, that the respective governments (was just reading an article about Italy, don't know about Greece) of the developed countries don't always do all they should to combat the gangs. And of course this isn't the same thing as 'immigrants'. Just my $0.02.

Greece should be shamed for not doing all it could to combat sex trafficking.
now it does, through law changes and police work but we did take our sweet time

Since when is latent racism exclusive to only one region or area? I'm sure there's plenty of it in your native area.

Ask Paiktis, who once started a troll thread that all Northern Europeans (including North Italians ) are latent racists

You lucky bastard.

I used to work at Brookhaven National Lab, and we had (non-dangerous) wildlife all over the place - deer, foxes, pheasants, wild turkeys, etc. I always thought it would be cool if they could grow dinosaurs (a la Crichton) which could then roam the grounds... it would spice up a humdrum workday if you had to outrace a velociraptor to get to your car to go home.

This is because of the uneven distribution of wealth among the Greeks and the immigrants. Non-Greeks simply do not get a fair shake.

non dangerous being the key word

in NW Greece an old woman was attacked and killed by a brown bear. They, the bears, are protected by ecologists and have grown a bit in numbers (as have wolves). Dont know if this is to blame though.

the bears have also demonstrated a knack for destroying the lockal graveyards of the adjacent villages, a traumatizing action no doubt for the villager who now warn that if the state doesnt do something they'll "take their shotguns". Indented for the sacrilegious bears hopefully.

Nonsense! I find it hard to believe such racism exists. None of them are enlightened.
