well, i am greek, but not living there, and after they became european champions and hosted the olympic games they got the attention of the world, so tell me how do you think of this country? ever been there? you like our girls? fuck greece? whatever... tell us |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't really know anything about it. i study a lot of classical philosophy but i guess that doesn't have much to do with greece of today. |

The government is fucking disgusting the way it promised to spread the wealth of the games around and properly fucked over the businesses and people in the towns and cities surrounding Athens. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Uh, it's like, hot and stuff. |

I like your Kebabs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
well, actually this year the government changed... the socialists stopped having the power and the more conservative party got it... there is some corruption though. dont know much about what happened during the olympic games... |
||||||||

I think of Greece as sunny and a bit ramshackle. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it is called gyros, not kebap :) |

My girlfriend is greek. I like Greece but I think that, from what she's told me about Greek attitudes and the educational system and politics and so on, that the Greeks are a bit fucked up (no offense!) but then isn't everyone? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah the souvlakis are nice. (depends where) as for the games, they would have never happened was it not for a very rich greek bod and his money. the state was acting like shit before they had even secured the games. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this is all greek to me. |

well, we like our country, and some of us are somehow too proud.. if germans would be like that you would call them nazis, for greeks it is patriotism... we are proud of the weather, the culture, the food, the girls we have, and easily say there is no country which has better as we have... that's why i dont really like to make friendships with greeks, many are like that... with education i dont know what you mean, probably that the school is not enough and everyone wanna study in greece, so the pupils have lot of pressure and they go after school to another school to learn more and more... it fuck them up, actually |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I fail to see how you can be proud of something you have no control over or participation in, like the weather... |
||||||||
|
|

well from what I have heard from Greeks the national education system is crap and lacks disipline and therefore most students end up handing over large wads of cash to private schools for extra tuition. I'm lucky to have found a Greek who has fallen in love with France but it's true that many Greeks I met at university where very nationalistic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, that's true what you say, i totally agree. It is easy to provocate Greeks somehow. i mean, i dont go to greek places like greek cafes or discos, as every greek in our town do... i dont have greek friends except one, everyone else has majority greek friends... i am vegetarian, what for greeks is also not usual at all.. they think if you dont eat meat you will die soon... i dont listen to the crap greek music singing about love in a cheesy style... but i am proud being greek, not for the people but for other things :) |
||||||||

good point on that german thing. i had a german boy in my class 2 years ago and he said it was impossible to be proud of being german; he would just be called a nazi or something. but there are nations who are overly proud imo, like italians for example. but it's fun to see that kind of nations lose something, like a football match for instance (it would of course be the ref's fault if they were to lose). |

Any nation that gives its name as a synonym for sodomy to phone booth-based prostitution marketing is alright by me. |

How can I not like Greece, they invented the best song ever. That one one guitar or banjoy thing that speeds up from slow to insanely fast and everyone starts off dancing slowly and get faster and faster until wooooooaahhhhhhhhhh! too fast. Yeah I like that song. |

||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Cheers is that the name??? Lol the Greek restaurant near me plays that every time, the place goes mentalllllllllll I swear. One of my mates downloaded it and burnt it onto CD and played it in the college common room... again the place went mental. :) |
||||||||

|
|
I'm Greek too. Well half anyway:) |
||||||||
|

||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, that's a pity, i went to greek school in my town, and made my highschooldegree in greek but i didnt want to go to greece for studies and i stayed here to make my studies |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like Greece, I would like to live there but my misses has lived there and she doesn't want our son growing up in such a masogonist society. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
they're easy going, taking it easy and slow...like every other balkan nation :) i was surprised to see good looking girls actually...i've always imagined they'd look different. i hardly know anything about greece...athens seem to be a beautiful city. the only thing that bothers me when it comes to greece are the tourists. |
||||||||
|

|
How do I think about Greece? Using my brain! Titter! mmm bouzouki, plate-smashing, taramasalata, hairy men |
||||||||

|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

||||||||

i lived there for a bit when i was little, i loved it, we lived on serifos. we found our in greece, discarded only days old. my parents met in greece, on ios, years before i was born. i have very fond memories of the islands and would love to go back. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Bollocks! You haven't been to Greece! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't believe a word of it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i can prove it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
finding discarded kittens, fond memories?! Yeah, right... and I've got a pocket full of hens teeth. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Are you hairy mary? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if that's directed at me, that's really me in my avatar. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, I know, I look almost exactly like Mira Calix. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my story that that's me in my avatar is more believable than that pile of crap. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sorry, I was doing a Partridge quote and asking that pretend greek person to proove his hairy greekness. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what, i promise, he was abandoned in a field when we lived somewhere near athens, i could ask my parents the name of the locale, anyways he was thrown into this field in a garbage bag. i know you dont really disbelieve and are just pretending. FAKERS |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how is that Partridge radio set, btw? is the extra cd worth it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh! nice! now WE are the fakers! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||

|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

Greece is a paradise on earth appart from Athens..... The islands and all are trully fantastic and full of history that you can feel..... For the european cup... well... a bit of luck and some good defence.... lucky for them the brits were eliminated..... And the Olympics... Well waow for that.... amazing security that we are still under by the way.... (gotta be carefull for weed deals)... and it went thru very easily with loads of success and world records..... Now for the Greeks.... i can't stand them pricks most of the time... im not generalizing.... but some and a lot of 'em are very rude and with no respect for what so ever... no wonder it's one of the most poluted cities in europe. Once in a while you encounter the nice and caring dude... appart from that... The traffic drives you mad... like you can't escape.... It's very furstrating and stressfull.... The food is TOO oily... the weather is uplifting, it's about the only thing that is.... And the cats and dogs wondering about hungry and with injuries makes it sad...... O dear.... i hope i'll get out of here soon enough.... And in another way... i miss it (a little) when im away..... so it has it's attractiv and despizing bits... like all cities i guess |
