10% of Greek population emigrated in 2010

[ekrem]

Some 1.2 million people, nearly 10 percent of the population, emigrated from Greece last year, according to recently published statistics in the World Bank’s “The Migration and Remittances Factbook 2011.”

Triantaphyllou, who came from Athens to Istanbul more than a year ago before Greece was hit hard by the economic crisis, said not only single, educated, young people were leaving Greece, but even some families had begun to emigrate.

“This happens during hard times, like the emigration process after the Second World War,” he said.

Athens and Thessaloniki termed "dying cities" by a Professor from Paris' Sorbonne University

(...) Sorbonne University, Paris, describes Athens and Thessaloniki as dying cities, in which drug use, mental health problems, domestic violence and prostitution are all on the increase.
Not least of the Greeks problems is a feeling of powerlessness as their welfare state becomes hollowed out and their household incomes plummet.

Effects of economic crash to Greek society.

Greece in chaos - Le Monde diplomatique - English edition

Physical ailments (notably heart conditions) and mental illnesses are increasing at a worrying rate. Recent epidemiological studies have shown that heightened stress, exacerbated by high debt and prolonged unemployment, is generating major depressive disorders, disruptions and generalised anxiety (3), which account for a dramatic rise in suicides. According to unofficial figures discussed in parliament, the suicide rate increased by 25% from 2009 to 2010, with a further rise of 40% in the first half of 2011, compared to last year, according to health ministry sources. Figures published in The Lancet (4) reveal an alarming increase in prostitution, as well as infection rates of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases (5). There are unprecedented numbers of homeless people, and they are no longer limited to alcoholics, drug addicts or the mentally ill. A recent study demonstrates that the middle class, the young and the moderately poor are now more likely to end up on the street (6).

You are free to fuck off to the place you eat your Greek food at.
Then frequency of posts dealing with socioeconomic dimension of the Greek economic crash will be to the benefit of the unknown reader who is interested in this subject.

Who in Europe isn't having economic problems?

It's described as the perfect liberal utopia!

Drug use, mental health problems, domestic violence and prostitution are all on the increase.

Who knew? This is what is intended to bring peace, contentment and eliminate violence.

No love for an entire Arab and Muslime culture affected by their economic crash and ignorance over the last 1000 years?

We [Arabs] have become extinct," said Syrian poet Adonis in a March 11 Dubai television interview... The prognosis by Adonis, the only Arabic writer on the Nobel Prize short list, for the Arab prospect has become more bleak over the years.

"We have become extinct ... We have the masses of people, but a people becomes extinct when it no longer has a creative capacity, and the capacity to change its world ... The great Sumerians became extinct, the great Greeks became extinct, and the Pharaohs became extinct," he said.
Asia Times Online :: Middle East News - Are the Arabs already extinct?

A word in the Arab world today is treated as a crime.
What is happening in the Arab world today has never been witnessed in its history You make a statement and its as if you've committed a crime and the opinion is treated as if it is a crime against the law. This is inconceivable. You can be jailed because of an article.

The conditions necessary for democracy are not present in Arab society. There are people who are afraid of freedom...because it is a great burden to be free. It is not something easy. When we are slaves, we do not have to worry about anything and just as God solves all of our problems, the Dictator will solve all of our problems.

I do not understand what goes on in Arab society today In comparing what the Arabs have done in the last 100 years, with what has been achieved by others in the same period, all I can say is that we Arabs are in a period of extinction. Extinction meaning that we no longer have a creative or innovative presence on the world state.

We [Arabs] are extinct.
