I bet a whole dollar that the guv-ment in Greece is Liberal/Socialist.
Anybody got any idea where to check that out?
AND, let this be a lesson to anyone who looks to the guv-ment to take care of them.

I just thought I'd jump in here real quick and bang my head against a brick wall for two seconds.
Today's skewed terminology tends to mis-label that which is "liberal" and that which is "conservative." What is today called "conservatism" (at least in the USA) far more closely resembles traditional liberalism than what the word is now assigned to.
The mis-representation of these two concepts began when FDR first ran for president as a "liberal candidate," truly flabbergasting his opponent (whose name escapes me at the moment) who quite accurately saw himself as a liberal. The decay moved forward from there to what we have in the present day, where the positive connotation that goes along with the term "liberal" is attached to what is traditionall a set of conservative viewpoints.
This is a situation which proves to be exceedingly frustrating to those who are now called conservatives, because they don't see themselves as such.
That is all. You may all return to your rant about Greece or whatever with the games thing law about the not playing whatever some stuff like that.

This is just another case of the media ranting about something which doesn't really exist: they've jumped from 'this is worded so that it could mean' to 'this does and must mean!'. You can still play video games in Greece. You can't gamble with them in bars. Boo-hoo.

I got the impression that this ban was only intended for public places like pubs and hotels? Maybe that was the intention, but it just seems to be banning everything because the people who wrote it are in their 70s and completely clueless?
