  1. have these people any idea of how many lives they have destroyed i hope they burn in hell!!
    in ireland we have had three young teens committed suicide in the last month or so because of social media bullying
    what sort of society are we becoming?

  2. Brother, you should have shot those in power who sell out your country first, then take yours. But, it’s too late now.
    Rest in peace!

  3. We all live in societies where we think are nothing if we don’t bring in a regular paycheque. We don’t watch out for our neighbours either. It is an every man for himself kind of thing. There are so many ways to get into debt too. I know I got my first credit card when I was not working with a limit of thousands of dollars of month.I kept getting these pre-approved offers until finally I filled out the forms. I knew better than to get into such debt due to owing student loans, but I know people who just start relying on their credit cards and pay so much in interest. I believe the most precious resource Greece has is the Greeks and wish there would be more outreach so people would not take their own lives.

    >> Very true! Men have advanced so far materialistically, but still remained barbaric as in those slavery days.
    Greed and arrogance is the way of life.
