They don't eat wild Locusts in Israel unless they want to eat bugs that are seasoned with pesticides.
They eat clean from Locusts farms.
While I was specifically talking about areas they promoted eating the fish not been successful in controlling this fish. Israel spray program shows eating fail.

Eating locusts: The crunchy, kosher snack taking Israel by swarm
Israel is in the grip of a locust invasion, but some people are taking a novel approach to pest control - eating them.

We should break off diplomatic relations with them, and encourage the culturally superior country to their east to invade.

They do this all of the time, and they never do anything else. That "finest university in Greece" whose homepage I linked to, early, in ranked the 667th university on Earth.
In America, we'd call it a "party school." They're a joke, and so is Greece.

No use I can think. When, in the last 500 years, have they been anything but a net liability to the West? Or even people that the rest of us would have any reason to want to know?
We help them and they spit on us.

Those can't even crawl (much less walk) without self-injury aren't going to learn to run.
Why, again, are we allied with Greece? What use are they?

The man (if such a word can be applied to Nikolas) who is too childish to read a book and learn how to clean a fish, is not going to suddenly turn studious and mature, and master a real skill like say, building a rocket.

Why would anybody invest so much as a penny in a place populated by people who think like this guy? How could there possibly be a positive return on investment in a country in which that kind of brain-dead pride will get in the way of learning even the simplest of tasks?

and went on trying to help, even as he acted like a jerk. Given ample opportunity to clean up his act, he just wouldn't, sorry excuse for a man that he was, and almost certainly will be.

I think that you might be thinking of fugu, the blowfish that the Japanese use to prepare some very expensive sashimi.
This is a completely different species, one in which, as others have said, the poison is in the spines. Care is required in preparation, but it is not as difficult, I understand.

"I'm going to pwn everybody by refusing to learn anything" is quick route to failure in everything.
Look at the ass clown I'm dealing with. Even just learning how to safely clean a fish from a (formerly) friendly stranger is more than he can bring himself to handle.

"I am not going to engage with you, I WILL PASS :)"
The deliberately ignorant troll says, as he engages with me. I wonder if I'm now seeing why the Greeks haven't amounted to much of anything for the last few centuries.

What I'm seeing is a failure of basic reading comprehension skills. When full grown adults can't seem to read as well as grade school students, the only conclusions that seem available to me are

We're in Illinois, posting in English, he's in Greece posting in Greek, half of the time ... he really couldn't figure out that we weren't his neighbors?
OK. Is Greece really the country that Aristotle and Socrates came from? Because right now, they're not looking like the smartest people alive.
