Damn LJ, who pissed in your Corn Flakes this morning? You’re getting a bit tetchy.

The kid was going into hyper(bolic)-space – I thought I’d do some burnouts and join him.
I can crazy with the best of them.

I’m also getting lazy; if I go for the jugular straight off it’ll save me a coupla moves later.

I understand your frustration, LuckyJohn. At the same time, I wouldn’t have pegged you as the type to slander homosexuality in order to make a point.

Maybe LJ works for the MPAA?  Just kidding…

I wouldn’t have pegged you as the type to slander homosexuality in order to make a point.

Whatever works, I guess. As one might figure, I’m no politician. Besides, LJ’s occasional (inconsistent) brashness adds a little variety to the mix. We can’t all be eloquent and well-reasoned

Whatever works does sound more flexible than blind principle, which can be restrictive but i myself havnt been able to fully eliminated all yet, particularly w/o full assesment of situation

I guess it just took me a bit off guard, especially since AGG doesn’t seem like someone to get especially bothered by. But then, I can’t speak for others.

Sadie: I wouldn’t have pegged you as the type to slander homosexuality in order to make a point.

I wouldn’t normally but nations where the majority of men (and many of their women) wear moustaches are especially sensitive about their masculinity - I was looking for a button; homosexuality in ancient Greece was an accepted part of Kultcha - it wasn’t frowned on like the Roman church programmed xianity to believe; I did think about going there; I too would have picked me up on it.

Bahamat:
Lol, I honestly have NO idea what you are
trying to say. I only got that about “freedom
of speach"(?).

Les:
Allow me to use 1 of your posts:
“The irony is almost too much to bear.”

Patness:
No man, you are wrong. The aricle is about
banning ANY type of electronic gaming:
“The Greek parliament took the unusual—and
highly reactive—step of banning anyone from
playing or owning any form of electronic
games...”, something which is not true and
memoric (and me) tried to explain (and THAT was
memoric’s argument, if you didn’t get it).
For the rest you are right, I didn’t check the
rest of the site and maybe I should. But I
wasn’t supposed to be here either. I don’t
even remember what I was looking for when I
ended up here

zilch:
Now you got it right!
I didn’t mean it the way it sounds. “...don’t
EVER try that again!” was more like a joke.
Afterall my english are not THAT good either…

LuckyJohn19:
LOL man, what are you talking about???
What gays have to do with anything we
talked about here (Greeks, English,
Australian or whoever)? Anyway, can
you get us 1 OFFICIAL, historically
based proof (a link, a book e.t.c.)
that Πλάτωνας was gay and then we can
discuss that too. The rest of what you
said means nothing (at least to me),
they are only dirty words from
a “dirty” man(?).
P.S. Πλάτωνας, Αριστοτέλης, Σωκράτης
and so many more were men that offered SO
many things to humanity that neither
me, nor you, not anyone are worthy to
judge them EVEN IF they were gay.

Well, that was all from me, you probably won’t
see me anymore since that discussion seems
to lead nowhere. I’m sorry if I offended anyone
and I forgive everyone that might have
offended Greeks (yea, you too LuckyJohn19.
I guess it’s not your fault that you are that sick).

Afterall, "Πας μη Έλλην βάρβαρος".

(Sorry for the looong text )

Er, sorry guys for the stupidity of the particular two Greeks above. We cannot claim being stupid-free Anyway, the government acted like fools causing problems to internet cafe owners till the situation got normal again; all because of a populist journalist who thought illegal gambling was the greatest of our problems. Don’t ask me why would anyone feel the need to defend that.

The response of AnotherGreekGuy (and his misquoting) shows that his mindset could use some improving. In that regard LJ19 was successful. Moustache wearing has been out of fashion since a couple decades btw. Have a nice day everyone.

P.S. Ziltch, don’t be discouraged. Wahrscheinlich kennt er gar kein Deutsch, oder?

I don’t know why it registered me as German btw

I don’t know why it registered me as German btw

Stop using an onion router

I’m not discouraged, Alex.  I probably won’t ever get much further in Greek than “Ένα ελληνικό καφέ παρακαλώ”, but it’s amazing how much friendlier people are when you make the effort to say a few words in their language.  We might be going back to Corfu this summer- if we do, I’ll try to pick up a couple more phrases.

I’ll try to pick up a couple more phrases

“Do you want to come back to my place, bouncy-bouncy?”

elwed- the ΛΕΞΙΚΟ-LEXICON didn’t list “bouncy"- maybe Greeks aren’t bouncy-

Θέλετε να επιστρέψετε στη θέση μου, αναπήδηση αναπήδησης

It actually says (if Babelfish is correct) ‘Bounce’. Perhaps Greeks Bounce, but are not in themselves very bouncy?

Only on the internet- discussion of culture and politics transformed into crudety (no vegetable jokes please).

Are tomatos vegetables?

i didn’t read what people have been posting so far, i just saw “greece sucks” and i was like fuck yeah!! it does suck!! so id like to give my 2 cents if i may...well, im a half greek, half canadian male with light brown hair and brown eyes..(dad is greek mom is canadian).. iv lived in greece since i was 7. i spent 3 years in toronto canada from the ages 20-23.. i am now 26.. and the funny thing is!!!… im still seen as a foreigner in this rotten country… the people here are very fucking racist and will judge you just by the colour of your hair, skin tone and accent, its incredible… if you dont have black hair and dark skin in this country, you’re pretty much an albanian in every fucker, and bitches eyes. (so non dark, black haired men, dont expect to get any sex from greek girls if you so happen to visit in the summer, stick to the english, german,sweedish and slavic ones. bless them...if it werent for them, and my 3 years spent in toronto canada, i would 100% be a vicious rapist of greek women only)...now, to get back to my point, to be an albanian in greece is somewhat like what being a black person must of been like back in americas infamous days of slavery. they get the worst jobs, worst houses, worst reputation ect.. i remember when greece won the 2004 european cup and everyone was celebrating down town in the streets of athens, there were lots of albanians there too who were celebrating for the greeks victory… nice gesture right??? well the greeks saw fit to return the favor to our albanian friends by roaring out “ den tha gineis ellinas pote albane!!!!” which translates into “ you will never become a greek albanian”. they roard more saying about foreigners in general too.. seeing all of this happening that night reminded me of my years in toronto. i remembered, the danforth which im sure all greeks know by now. danforth is a big part of down town toronto that was developed for the greeks who had left their shitty country in hope of better luck. there, greeks would find products from their native land, resturaunts, clubs with lame greek music, and just about everything you would find in greece.. that is how greeks are welcomed abroad by civilized people, no spray paint saying “foreigners get out” there.... do you see the difference?? big difference in how greeks welcome foreiners, WOULDNT YOU SAY??? . the rage and disgust i felt for my half greek blood that night was unreal.. another funny thing about this ass backward culture is that, these slimy backstabbing fucking greeks depend on tourism as their number 1 source of income, so why is it then that they are xenophobes, and racists. all over athens you can see “ foreigners get out” and a bunch of other “welcome signs” written with spray paint.. if thats not biting the hand that feeds, then what the fuck is??.... another thing that really pisses me off is that, well, when i lived in toronto for 3 years, i used to get pussy frequently guys.. the girls liked me, my brown hair and my fair skin there… and in the summer times i get sex from tourists who also complement my looks!!.. greek girls though, want nothing to do with me or any of my foreign friends!! ( one is british, 2 australians, a german, 2 yugoslavians and a dude from the dominican republic)...so my question is, why the fuck are you foreign women so crazy about greek men?? these guys are fucking shallow losers that live with their parents till they get married at 40! useless fuckers!! they lie so much to you ladies and you swallow it all up! and ask for more… they act so romantic and kind around you but then they laugh about fucking some stupid foreign bitch in the ass with their sexually depraved friends. apart from that greek women want NOTHING to do with foreign men so why the fuck let things be so unbalanced?? its in your hands to change that… just remember that… well , i can go on forever about this shitty country… i got some stuff out today… and i must admit that i do feel a little better. thanks for making this “greeks suck” column man… i dont know what this lame ass country did to piss you off, but know one thing.. greeks are glad you had a bad experience in greece, because they dont want to see your foreign ass in their country again.. thats just the way the dogs are…

“A half greek guy” let me see if I got it right. You have a bad opinion about Greeks and Greece alltogether because you couldn’t get any girl to have sex with? And because of the opinion that Greeks have about Albanians who are responsible for the 80% of the crimes (maybe more) in Greece? Well if this is so then άντε γαμήσου και εσύ και οι φίλοι σου και ναι, δεν θέλουμε να ξαναδούμε τον ανοιχτόχρωμο κώλο σου εδώ. Επίσης μη θεωρείς τον εαυτό σου Έλληνα, αυτή είναι μια τιμή που την έχουν μόνο όσοι έχουν 2 γονείς Έλληνες, ψηφίζουν και/ή μένουν Ελλάδα. So you are the lame and don’t think that we didn’t understand that you have nothing to do with Greece. You pretend to be Greek (or half Greek or whatever) just to make your mud-talk seem more reliable(?). We have nothing with foreigners, tourists or whoever, as long as they don’t do shity things (like getting drunk all the time and smashing foreign property, a scenery repeated every summer in all of our islands). And to end this pointless discussion, do you want to come to Greece? Do so. Don’t you want it? Then don’t come. As for the rest, opinions are like asses, everyone has one…

[Insert joke about how most of that was Greek to me here.]

Hey LuckyJohn (the overstatement of the century,being an Aussie and calling yourself “lucky"),
What´s happening “mate”? Is it that you realised all of the sudden that you desent from British outcasts & prisoners,does it bother you that much that we gave civilisation to the whole of the world (even to sheep hearders like you),could it be that being “down-under”,far from the culture of Europe,gives you a headache,or that your society has become too lagerlout-like, or is it simply lack of sex?
“Beware of the Greeks faring gifts!” (specially “big ones” for you,you ignorant!)

Well guys whatever you say about Greece is only the half sad truth!The rest of it has been given by memoric’s words!He unfortunately represents the 70% of the Greek population known with the code name Ellinares who don’t have manners and they think that this shit hole that happens to be my country too is something so important that all the nations ought to recognise just because the ancient Greeks (who don’t have the slightest similarity to the modern ones) achieved what they achieved.And by the way Les that law was one of the correct things to happen in this 3rd world country with the totally retarded people..but be sure that it will be forgotten soon
