Something Bad Will Happen to Greece

[ClydeR]

GREECE'S new prime minister, Alexis Tsipras, made history within hours of his victory by informing the Archbishop of Athens, very politely, that clerical services would not be required for his swearing-in ceremony. An avowed atheist who has nonetheless made a point of dealing courteously with senior clergy, Mr Tsipras lost no time in making known that his oath of office would be a secular procedure. It was also explained that when the whole cabinet was sworn in, a more junior cleric (but not the archbishop) would be invited to assist those who wished to take a religious oath.

Greeks shouldn't expect their new president to do this without suffering a divine response. Might be an earthquake. Might be another invasion by Persians.

Pansies, maybe. They make great hashish though.

Refreshing. I wonder if he's going to try and null their debts though. That would be bad news.

He basically got elected on a platform of "screw the austerity measures, and screw the EU bailouts", so this should be interesting.

Meh, it killed the French worse.

[Androidpk]

The French will retaliate with a pre-emptive nuclear strike.

[Thondalar]

Meh, it killed the French worse.

It's the French. Not two shits were given by anyone, least of all other French.

Context is everything.

Eh, comparing anything to Africa doesn't really work either. No one really cares about that place anyways, unless it is to talk about diseases that might spread out of it.

I like the French.

[Gelston]

I like the French.

You would.

[Androidpk]

You would.

Why wouldn't I?

Why would you?

A couple of years ago I had a French room mate and he was a cool dude and introduced me to ask his French friends. They were all pretty awesome people and the French girls were smoking.

Totally foreseeable.

Totally foreseeable.

You call this a divine response?

[Androidpk]

Just as you predicted..
