<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Restitutor, post: 7997655, member: 112621&quot;]The Greek gentleman at the end who has lived in Britain for 11 years to me sums it all up. The marbles are only a thing because the Greek government needed a distraction from their failing economic and domestic situation. Had they gotten the marbles back they could turn to their people and say ‘look how great of a government we are, the marbles are back! But please ignore all the stuff that actually matters that we are failing at.’</p><p><br /></p><p>Returning the marbles is a slippery slope. The only argument against it becoming a slippery slope is, it’s not a slippery slope. Returning the marbles under the terms the Greek government is demanding would open the floodgates of every nation being forced to return legally acquired items simply because a nation wants them back. If someone sells me their car and 10 years later demands it back, am I a terrible person for keeping it? Ridiculous![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
