These are liberated people who live for today. Its a trade off between independence/liberation and living a more conservative lifestyle. The liberated live for short term gains but loose out on long term happiness and stability. Once these people indulge in this lifestyle, they will find it difficult to return to their previous state of mind - a 'hysterisis' effect. Its innocence lost for the quick bit of fun and a wild experience.

As Jesus said "what good does it do a person to gain the world and in doing so loose his soul".

As Mustapha Monde said in _Brave New World_, "True happiness looks pretty squalid compared to the overcompensations for misery."

IF I WERE A GREEK OFFICIAL I WOULD SIMPLY DEPORT EVERY ONE OF THESE LOW LIFE UNEDUCATED BRITISH MORONS BACK TO THE UK AFTER A WEEK OR TWO SLEEPING ON A BED OF NAILS IN A DODGY GREEK JAIL CELL. THE UK HAS BECOME THE DISFUNCTIONAL EMBARRASMENT OF EUROPE.
