So 'Catholic' Great Britain, Catholic Netherlands, Catholic Germany... oh, no, sorry, I meant Protestant Great Britain, Protestant Germany and the Protestant Netherlands. Which other 'Catholic' Protestant countries did you have in mind? Sweden? Norway? Finland? Estonia? Latvia? Denmark? And that's without including people who would say they hold no 'political' allegiance to either the Catholic or Protestant confession.
right to the point

and paiktis, Britain, France and even USA were strongly against the breakup of yugoslavia. no only that, but when conflict issued, they took a pro-serbian stance. british and french especially

they were all proven by facts that serbs were agressors.

I know what I want: Bring back Yugoslavia!
in what form?

- one Nation?

perhaps, and this is huge speculation, but if you greeks werent so fussy back in 1054 croats and serbs would today be one nation. culturaly differentiation started with the split of churches, and since church was very important for the last 1000 years, we end up with different culture

as it is, each nation is formed and self-aware, so thats not it..

- one capital city?

we wont pay any more taxes to belgrade, or spend our time and money developing and pacifying kosovo

- one state?

But what kind of state? we had a kingdom, and it didnt work because croats were oppressed. we had a federation, and it didnt work because it was not democratic (and croats were opressed)

so we will all end up in EU, do we need a state?

The Greek communists perhaps...
Of course Stalin wouldn't let it be, one because he had the Yalta agreement to keep and two because the balkan confederation would be big enough so that it's policies would be fairly independent of the USSR.

if one is supposed to be affected by his religious affiliation then serbia had only russia dn greece while croatia had virtually half of europe which could ibnfluence decisions.

now of course this is rediculous (or is it?) then ridiculous is also the thought orthodox countries. after all FYROM is orthodox. and orthodox dont have one leader Pope. so solidarity nomatter how subtle should exist between catholic countries which explains why croatia got off the loop while it did exactly the same things as serbia (croatia burned villages of albanians and serbs ethnic cleaning etc)


but as i said you are dumb and cant make the differantiatition. you read "europe" and your mind cant tell europe apart. but thats your problem to solve.

Utter crap

The intervention by Western europe had **** all to do with religion. Ireland are neutral,Portugal and spain IIRC didn't care. France were secretly helping the Serbs and the last time the Italians took offensive action they were wearing leather skirts and spoke latin

in ww2`500.000 greeks died of whom 80.000 were jews.

we tried to save greek lives while you massacred anyone who wasnt a catholic croat and slaughtered serbs and jews alike while "your people" got off the loop.

tiens zobo

ca vient d'un chanson d'iggy pop. voici les paroles

Her skin is copper and her voice is Spanish red
Her vibe is golden Ў®till her anger kills it dead
She wants the world to see
A body rich in harmony
A mouth cruel as death

She rides a fantasy she hasnЎЇt tested yet
She looks in every mirror to check her silhouette
The turning heads
The honking horns
Gave proof to her
Since she was born
That love is her game

She loves me, Miss Argentina
Though she hides behind her smile
She runs free, Miss Argentina
Dripping blood
With lots of style

She loves to stay in bed and watch the movies play
She wants a husband who will worship and obey
The moods that she enjoys like childrenЎЇsЎЇ games and football toys
She laughs without shame

She likes the military and the Rolling Stones
Her little brother has a T-shirt from Ramones
SheЎЇs shy and sensitive and doesnЎЇt know the tougher games
But boy can she love

SheЎЇs easy, Miss Argentina
A masterpiece without a frame
She runs free, Miss Argentina
But Venus is a dangerous game

She saves my spirit with a humanistic light
SheЎЇs greedy, lazy and impossible to like
She dresses sexually
And sheЎЇs afraid of many things
Like being alone

SheЎЇs back with mother now
SheЎЇs over twenty-five
I tried to keep her, but she buried me alive
In love and birth and jealousy
And every emotion totally freed
Screaming at once

But she loves me, Miss Argentina
While she hides behind her smile
She runs free, Miss Argentina
Dripping blood with lots of style
SheЎЇs lovely, Miss Argentina
A masterpiece without a frame
SheЎЇs easy, Miss Argentina
But Venus is a dangerous game

c'est un chanson maginifique a mon avis. un des meillieurs que j'ai jamais ecouter

Let's see some proof of this Catholic conspiracy against Orthodox Serbia. An analysis of the pressure exerted by the Republic of Eire on the American government perhaps, or the Italian government, or the Spanish government. Or the vast military forces of the Duchy of Luxembourg running rampant in Montenegro. Papal assassins conducting hits on Serbs in the Voivodina...

Your political analysis is on a par with the rest of your thought- something shambling to a pallid semblance of life amidst the detritus at the bottom of the dustbin of history.

Mary, I don't think the Greeks differentiate between Roman Catholic and Protestants. As paiktis has said before, there is a general anti-latin feeling in Greece that stems from the Fourth Crusade in 1204 that sacked Constantinople. This is a wrong for which the Pope recently apologized. However, we still are not forgiven.

As I said before, I don't think the rift between the East and West can be healed unless the West does something dramatic. What I have suggested before is that the West choose an Orthodox Patriarch as the next Pope. This would end the Schism.

Shouldn't an 800 year old religious grudge be forgotten.

Is there anyone the Greeks( and i mean piaktis here) don't have a grudge against

So you are saying that there are more than 150,000 murders in the U.S. every year? Well, that's (barely) within an order of magnitude, which is as close to reality as any of your statements so far.
