Happy New Year ? !
I was in Athens over the Holidays and was somewhat shocked to see how many refugees there were at stop lights washing windows, begging for change, etc.
Where and when did they all come from?
Seriously.
I was in Athens in the summer and there weren't near as many.
The sheer volume of "third worldness" impressed me. Oh, I know we're supposed to say they are from 'developing' countries as a politically correct means of sounding 'nicer' and somehow enlightened. But the thing is, I don't we should sound nicer or enlightened when it comes to refugees from the third world.
One shouldn't be coerced or obliged into giving money to total strangers because they streaked a filthy squeegee across your windshield while I waiting for a stop light. Even more, one shouldn't be cursed as he goes about his daily business for refusing to give them money after they perform this "oh so valuable" service.
Seriously. It's time some people started listening to those on the far right of the political spectrum.
Refugee limits should be set and enforced now. After all, other countries do it. Even such denizens of liberal social idealogies and governments such as the French, Dutch and Germans have limits they enforce on the number of immigrants allowed into their countries.
Why can't (or better yet) why shouldn't Greece?
Does wanting limitations on the number of immigrants allowed in the country make me a fascist?
Hardly.
It makes me someone who is capable of thinking outside the politically correct box that has led to this regrettable situation.
Why is it that laws are simply not enforced here? Is it the fault of the police? Is it the social reaction to the seven year Junta still? Is it the weather? Is it the postman?
Anyway, you can see what I'm getting at.
Immigrant limitations now.
Quotas (strictly enforced) now.
Otherwise, in a few years time when we walk downtown or go to Plaka, we'll hear everything but the Greek Language being spoken.
Athenocities = disturbances encountered at red lights while waiting for them to turn green
