Gerwyn Williams i am greek and proud of it!! firstly you sount exactly like the Germans when they say that we are lazy, thieves and such... I know it is tempting to resort to such stereotypical characterizations as i often found my self thinking that all germans are nazi's and to blame for the most devastating world in human history even though that is hardly the case(all it took was a madman at the helms of an impoverised country like germany after the first world war...) or that is because of them my country is effectivelly dead and undergoes its most dramatic change since the millitary junta imposed by the Americans. I honestly bealive that we should avoid generallizations like ''Greeks are lazy''( the average worker in Greece works approximatelly 10-12 hours a day for e mere 575 euros), or '' Greeks can't be trusted with money because this line of thinking is extremly unfair and naive..... You can't characterise an entire race simply because you lent money to a Greek and he never returned them.. If you do that then i can easily say that all Germans have an obsession with power and world domination( simply beacause they started two world wars!!!!!), the Polish, the Armenians,the Albanians,the Bulgarians,and so on, are scum who wont hesitate to commit murder for a few bucks( in Greece approximatelly 55 % of serious crimes are commited by individouals originating from those countries) or that Americans are self-obsessed power hungry people who think that are better than everyone else and are the envoys of democracy..... What i am trying to say is that you can't judge a whole race based on the actions of a few bad apples or the actions of their respective governments.... Watch it mate cause this is a slippery slope....
