Not everyone shows their emotions easily. Also if he believes that the measures are necessary (which is probably true) then he would be comforted by that fact as well. I wouldn't say it makes him in human, which is a big charge against someone. Of course some level of empathy is good though.

Of course it is good it is great actually in times when you know people are actually hurting ... We have like trippled in homeless youth in Athens saw it with my own eyes last summer...Yeah I was in tears seeing the unempoyment rate and the kids out of job.... Not a good site to see young adults homeless in the streets.... They have lost their jobs and on the top of it the elderly grantparents who support these kids are cut off their pensions

Well, it could decide to screw it and keep spending as before. And have to make even deeper cuts in the future, especially as Italy's credit rating would plunge and the interest burden become worse. That is, unless the economy magically turns into a boom until then

This is about a "human" moment of sadness and emphathy NOT about who is messing up...We all do Doh!

And most of us clean our own messes after we have messed up.

And most of us clean our own messes after we have messed up.

That does not mean we are not showing emotion if we see suffering of the MANY because of the FEW who mess up!

She is crying for the FEW screwed up the majority of innocent people in Italy with their corruptive ways of government I do not see your point at all... If one denies to suffer with the suffering injustice then why be bothered to calll this man human?

I failed to see your point and all I will leave it at that.

 

[PHenry42]

The "few" who messed up were people whom you directly elected to power.

 

[Philothei]

And the few who got elected are the ones who cheated to show their real selves...so my voting was NOT that one delieberately votes for crooks...or then all goverments that were corrupt in America were so because people elected them? Nah..

I still mourn for the innocent ones who are taking for the ride... regardless of what you think
