If it wasn’t obvious to some people before, it’s painfully evident now that there is something awfully wrong with these youngsters, and our society as a whole, which permits riots like this to happen. I wouldn’t say anything if this would be a protest against a dictatorship, or against a law or some other kind of enforcement that would hinder our human rights, or in any other way endanger our rights and lives. But this? This was a protest against a law that would actually benefit many students (both life/injury and payment insurance, recognition of work experience, earlier start of pension accumulation) and allocate more money for scholarships! Yes, it has it’s downsides, but they mostly affect the Student organisations of Slovenia and those that are now reaping big profits from the field of the Student work. And what’s more, the law hasn’t even been wrapped up yet and sent into the National Assembly for vote! The talks with the Student organisation of Slovenia were still open!

Going out, shouting “f**k the government”, littering Ljubljana and throwing objects at the police and the Parliament and even setting fires for something like this is just insane and stupid. It throws a bad light on the student population as a whole, discredits those that try to make some progress with peaceful protests and talks and renders all the previous efforts meaningless. Not to mention that now everybody is talking only about this shameful event and not about the very issues the protest was organised for.

And seriously, making so much damage to the parliament? For Christ’s sake, it’s only 19 years since we’ve achieved our independence, and kids of those who fought for our freedom go and deface the very symbol of it?

But it really makes you think, how is such a disproportionate ratio between legitimate comments and spam even possible? Especially when you take into account that most of those spam messages (approximately 60% in my case) are not made by bots, but from real people that try to bring traffic to their own website. I understand that my website is quite attractive for advertising through comments since Time Recursion is a do-follow website, but guys, come on! At least write something that’s related to the post you’re commenting! If you’ll insert your website address in the Website field, you’ll still get the PR juice and if the content of your comment is related to the article I’ll approve that comment without hesitation, you can be sure of that. After all, I’m always eager to get some feedback on what I write.
