GAHHHHH...bitchin' post
Okay.
Let me get one thing straight here, first. I know some people do not have the greatest situation in the world iwith their salaries, but miners in here cannot really complain. They earn much more than any other group of workers (perhaps with the exception of the construction workers) and should therefore have little to complain about with their early retirements, huge retirements and often money they get to find work elsewhere.
Still, they protest.
Today was one of those protests. I wouldn't mind so much (except for the notion this country has, that everything can be solved by going on a strike and threatening the government), except the behavior of those involved was...really below any stadards.
First, they were throwing firecrackers and other small exposives at the ministery building. All well and good, only between the protesters and the ministry building (waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay behind their range) was a sidewalk with other people trying to get on with their lives and with the severly hindered public transpot lines that day. Not cool. Not cool at all. I mean, hell, someone could have really been hurt.
They, i think, i will avoid the dumb and dumbers by cutting it across the park. This is one of the nicer parks in the centre, where parents often bring children and people generally go for a walk. I come in through the gate and see what? Some 10 guys peeing onto the grass next to some bushes or trees. The FUCK? I mean, a public toilet is just 30 second away in the underground passage. They would only have to pay like 10 eurocents to get there! But nooooooooooooooo, of course not. Why go tot he toilet like civilized people, when you can pee publicly ? It's so much more convenient.
I sometimes really wish it was already 20 years later and people understood those things. The firecracker-throwing public -peeing protesters will definitely NOT get my vote of sympathy. Or that of anyone, who went down that street today.
