New Study Finds Greeks to be More Honest Than OthersGreeks are not that dishonest after all.A new survey by the University of East Anglia questioned 1,500 people from 15 different countries on how honest they are and the degree of honesty they believe their own countries as well as other ones have.Among the study’s findings was that Greeks are more honest than people from other countries give them credit for. In fact, Greeks were expected to be the most dishonest of the group, even by Greeks themselves. Instead, they proved among the most honest during the coin flip test and had an average performance on the quiz. This reflects one of the conclusions drawn by the responses, which is that people consider their compatriots as less honest than people from other countries do.British citizens came out as the most honest.

Mass graves of women 'too old to be Isil sex slaves' - this is what we're up againstAs the world prayed for Paris, more than three thousand miles east another atrocity was being uncovered in Iraq - two mass graves containing the bodies of older Yazidi women. Sophy Ridge explains why we can't ignore them The belongings scattered by the dusty mass grave in Sinjar show this is no ordinary war. Elderly women who use walking sticks are not soldiers.Islamic State’s attitude to women has been brutally laid bare in its division of the Yazidis into those who were young and beautiful enough to rape, and those who were not. Mothers and grandmothers who seemingly could not command a price in the sex market (reportedly a 'packet of cigarettes') were simply slaughtered.It's hard to imagine women being reduced to pieces of meat in a more savage manner.
