@Svelon

Who cares. I love this country, but I can’t stand the mentality of people.

@Nicola

We may still have, really. It’s just called the Press now.

Undoubtedly there shall be some kind of stupid law. And it will be as stupid and anachronistic as possible. But it’s not just the politicians to blame. I believe the biggest hint was given by the journalist mr. Evaggelatos at ANT1 news, were he said in the middle of an argument over the issue: “the point is that because of those free blogs, I might even loose my job” (free translation)…
And while he and the others like him are the voice of the people, there shall be no progress at all.

However that law, whatever it is, it will not last long, just like the internet cafes.

Oh, and Sugarenia baby, don’t forget you are Greek, too…

The whole thing is a typical Greek contradiction. We do act sometimes like prehistoric creatures. They used to do 2 things whenever they faced something unknown. Either they praised it like God or they burned it to hell.

And not only the net-cafes… Technically they band all video-games as well (the only nation on earth) because the guys who wrote the laws had no idea of defining gambling and video games!!!

Viva Greece!

Do you think the word Chaos describe what we have in Greece?

Here is a link I really liked (sorry for the non-Greeks around, but no english version available)

What I hate is how Greece is becoming a universal tech joke because of these people.

Remember the nice times when netcafes were shut down due to stupid gambling laws?

Ah, the fun.

We are partially responsible of this filthy mess. We permit certain people do certain things. However I do believe we don’t deserve this in the end.
