and if you want to compare pasts, I admit Greece has been through the gutter recently (recently, in historical terms)

but I look at Jews and I feel a bit better
but JUST a bit.

Wow, what a trollfest!

Paiktis reminds me of the father from "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." He:

1) Loves to point out that various English words come from Greek roots (but can't seem to use them properly)
2) Is utterly convinced that Greek history and culture is superior to all others
3) Ignores any and all proof the the contrary

It's moderately amusing, as was the movie. You know, Paiktis kinda reminds me of Fez in a way...

And the hoardes just keep on coming

US: the gutter

Empathia: the ability to "feel" another's emotions

Empathy in egnlish: screwed up meaning and means something like hatred?

Bereta_Eder · December 6, 2002, 16:55

And Greek history and culture IS superior than all others

what kind of surveys say that it isn't?

I even posted the definition in English for you and still get it wrong.

In English it means the same, the ability to feel another's emotions.

For all the talk, you're the one looking more like the product of U.S. public schools...

Bereta_Eder · December 6, 2002, 16:57

ah! ah! no personal insluts

comparing me with the product of US schools certaintly is

I don't know what "insluts" are, but they certainly do sound personal...

a mere typo

in no way an automatic connection when i see your handle

Rabid nationalism at its best.

Greek history and culture certainly goes back a long way and has had great influence on the world, but there are other contenders out there, you know. It's pretty arrogant to flatly state that yours is the best. There are some Chinese folks who may disagree, for instance.

Tell me again how "Kimono" comes from Greek, Paiktis.

Bereta_Eder · December 6, 2002, 17:13

That's chinese. or is it japonese?

make sure to wacth Rocky III too to findout about Russia

DaShi · December 6, 2002, 17:15

You used that one already.

Bereta_Eder · December 6, 2002, 17:15

And the Chinese have every reason to disagree they are a great civilization.

I was talking about what you call the "west" though.

Bereta_Eder · December 6, 2002, 17:16

DaSHi you're quite the stalker

DaShi · December 6, 2002, 17:18

Bereta_Eder · December 6, 2002, 17:26

About education, I wonder howmany americans can speak a foreign language

You certaintly have improved MY foreign language and for that I thank you though

DaShi · December 6, 2002, 17:29

You're welcome, it's a hobby of mine.

Arrian · December 6, 2002, 17:38

Paiktis, my references to "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" are not meant to imply that the movie is an education documentary about Greeks & Greek Culture, but rather that you are a caricature. A living, breathing stereotype.

If, for instance, I was confronted with an American ubernationalist nutcase, I would probably make reference to the SAC General in "Dr. Strangelove."

Bereta_Eder · December 6, 2002, 17:50

tch..

I'm SO unappreciated...

Bereta_Eder · December 6, 2002, 17:51

Truth is I dont troll. Not really. A handful of people have grudges about me so if I say something they take a pot shot at me - and get more of the same.
but thats their problem

most others of what you see here are friends and all is fun intended

but dont tell me about dr.strangelove "stereotypes"
50% of americans support torture and thats not a movie...

mhh someone from Scandinavia Definatly..
UK, France and Germany tend to block themselves way too often, and the scandinavian economy hasnt got as big Problems as MainEurope.

I'd approve to coem the President form a Country which pays more Into EU than it gets out.

And the opportunities for humor whenever he had to stand toe to toe with Bush would be endless. Euros are used to having their leaders wussie out when dealing with the US, so Gore would be perfect.

And them maybe after you had your fill of him, we could stop hearing how much better off the US would be if he had won.

And think of all the priceless Bush/Gore shaking hands photo opportunities.

It's what the EU would deserve...
