I didn't hear any such remarks about Christians from any of my Muslim friends after the London riots, or the Greek strikes or even after a famous 'killer' (not terrorist, hah) went amok in Norway. Drawing the conclusion that such atrocities are a result of religion alone and not other factors is downright silly. Especially when you can't even spell the names properly its hard for me to believe you know anything about these countries except a few lines read in a newspaper.

I never intended to imply Americans are tax dodgers. I just got curious since Inked put so much emphasis on income tax while income tax here is but a part of the taxes with which the government funds its functioning. So it was a genuine question.

Here is the Greek situation summed up in the medium of Cartoon Genius.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisf...elos-venizelos I linked it rather than embedding it because there are a couple of minorly naughty words on it and we don't want Mooters of a more sensitive disposition passing out. However, this now stands as the most concise and informative summary of the situation I have seen yet. |
