“Greeks need to start having more kids, too.”
Agree, I’m first generation Greek-American and have numerous cousins over there. Only one of the bunch is married and has kids. They are more interested in enjoying the good life; eating, drinking, partying, etc. my family and I have been there a couple of times and I have to say it’s not a bad life; eating and drinking till midnight or later, running down the Germans - which seems to be a favorite topic, even though it’s been the Germans that’s been bailing them out. Naturally, when i pointed this out to them their come-back was, “well, the Germans owe us as they never paid reparations due us from WWII - which is correct. However, they fail to mention that being Germany was little more than a pile of bricks and rocks it was unable to pay so consequently the U.S. paid Germany’s Reparations to Germany. When I pointed this out, they acknowledged this was correct but stated its not the same. Go figure......
Now, take this paragraph, replace the word 'Greek" with Black, German with 'White', WWII with 'slavery' and you'll see a pattern.......................
I read about the German occupation of Greece in WWII and brutal would not begin to describe it.
