Where is the evidence for this generalised "slaughter"??
I myself am from a mediterranean country (Portugal). So
I take offense by your generalisation from what supposedly happens in
Greece to other unnamed mediterranean countries. Either you should
have named the other mediterranean countries or you should have not
made the generalisation at all. This generalisation weakens your
argument and I feel calls into question your knowledge of world
history/ culture. It leads me to believe that your knowledge with
respect of sociology and ethnography is limited. In fact one can say
that the UK is as guilty as any country in respect of hunting birds
(grouse) and animals (eg. foxes) for sport. So to generalise across
mediterranean countries is not enough one should include European
countries including ENGLAND or the whole world. By not including
other named countries you seem to be prejudice against the Greeks.
I take it you will not be going to Greece for your holidays this
year!!!
PS. I do agree with you on your arguments about gun control but you
ruined everything with your discrimation against Greece and other
unnamed mediterranean countries which may include Portugal.
