What does the rest of the world think?

Eilithios! You can't even speak Greek, and barely speak or write English. You should have went to Ford (sic) instead of getting an inner-city education in whatever shithole college you claim to have went to(sic).

Shut up half breed. I used to like you when I thought you were one of us. And I still do but you're like the Greek Freak. Not 100%. You're like a wigger in America. Very flattering to blacks.

There are lots of Greeks in America who can't speak Greek. I think it's funny my sister in law and her mother all my life, why don't you speak Greek, why don't you speak Greek! How many ******* times are you going to ask that question you stupid *****? So finally I asked Yaya "how come you can't speak English?"

Each generation, we lose it. We are now 100% Americans. I didn't have the luxury you did to have lived there. That would be like me bragging to an Irish American that they can't speak Irish, and I can, because I lived in ******* Ireland for 5 years. BFD dude. So you lived in Greece and you now wish you were Greek. So badly. I get it. Don't be ashamed of your Muttness you half breed. LOL.v You and the greek freek can learn all you want about Greece. Won't make you 100% Greek and that matters.

You know what I ask Yaya whenever her 4 grandkids are around? How come they can't speak Greek Yaya? Then the kids get mad and say "we speak better than you" And that's when I remind them they get to go to Greece every summer. If they don't speak Greek, there's something wrong with them.

I'll admit it. Learning math, a foreign language, computers, those things I'm just not smart at. That's why I went into sales. Dumb charismatic good looking men go into sales. No one is tough, good looking and smart. At best pick 2. I am 2 of those things.

Now put some vootyro on that and eat it, poosti.

I am Greek and I have the passport and national ID to prove it. Oh yeah and I can speak the language, but then you can hardly speak English. You should have went (sic) Greek school when you were a kid.

EVERYONE blames my parents for not sending us to Greek School. And we did but the priest or someone was mean and my mom pulled us out. My parents were super sensitive and got their feelings hurt everywhere they went. Everyone offended them. We are realizing that about them now. And my dad is super cheap. I get why, and I won't get into it because it will bore you, but he has acted like he came up through the Great Depression. Save, save, save. Cheap mother ******. But he was able to amass $800,000 in net worth and he only really worked/saved for 20 years. My mom also saved/worked for 20 years. Combined, they did alright I'd say. Neither went to college.

Everyone also can't believe they never sent us to Greek Camp. I mean come on! That's an experience every Greek in my community has. I even took my nephews to it one year and it looks like the kind of place you would have very fond memories. Exactly what you would expect a summer camp to be with the lake and cabins and woods.

But seriously for a minute. I know hundreds of Greek words. So why do I not understand what people are saying when they first rattle off a Greek sentence? I've probably heard what they said repeated 10,000 times in my life. Still I'm like, "what the **** did you just say?"

This is an example of nature or nurture. It's both. I'm certainly not gifted when it comes to learning a second language. Obviously. But it's also my parents fault. What the ****? You CAN'T teach your kids Greek? I should not be embarrassed, they should.

No you are not Greek. My cousin loves to say she's Greek but her mom is Greek. Her father is not. Real Greeks would know the difference after asking you a couple questions. They would be impressed at your imitation of a Greek though. So would I.

Her son loves to say he's Greek. No he is not. He is 1/4th Greek.

At what point does someone stop being Greek?

When they cannot speak the language.

Sorry dude but I can always learn how to speak Greek. My brother met a very traditional Greek woman with a strict family. They would have NEVER allowed her to marry a mutt like you. And they didn't like it that he didn't speak very well. Guess what? He learned! Now he's fluent.

But you can never be a real Greek. NEVER. Even though you speak it well and are very proud of the Greek blood pulsing through your vanes. Sorry it's tainted blood.

Right now my family is going through this. My oldest nephew is dating a light skinned mavrouli. It's really bothering the other side of the family and my brother. They really want him to marry a Greek. So think about that. Greeks have a hard time when one of their marries an outsider.

My uncle said if the church found out his son was getting married the first thing they would ask is "is he marrying one of ours?"

I'm not Dear Abby and you're not Greek.

No, YOU are not 100% Greek. Let's do a ******* DNA test.

They are doing well in regards to being able to achieve a voting result of 15-25%, with 60% of the votes coming from former East-Germany
Their main problem is that they have absolutely no governmental experience and lack of any professional economic or political leadership.
And the Germans are very well aware of this.

Tesla isn't the worlds biggest EV maker - that would be China's BYD, almost double the production and sales of Tesla.

I wasn't sure - but wasn't surprised either about Trumps win

Nope - not me, the moment the Democrats nominated a colored women with very little experience - I had placed my bets onto Trump
won around US$ 800.

Not my intension to insult Americans - but Germans are far more realistic and way less conservative and naive as Americans, when it comes to politics - aside from considerable general interest in politics, the main reason being that "intentional Fake statements" by politicians or the Media are facing courts and one's political or publishing career is over.

So you can't simply "Openly Lie" your way through politics in Germany

Far-Right Party Heads For Its Strongest Result Yet In Germany's Election​

Alternative for Germany is also fielding its first candidate to lead the country.

Even though it’s highly unlikely to take a share of power soon, it has become a factor that other politicians can’t ignore and helped shape Germany’s debate on migration.

This is how Trump got started. At first everyone laughed. No way he would win.

The far-right party first entered Germany’s national parliament eight years ago on the back of discontent with the arrival of large numbers of migrants in the mid-2010s, and curbing migration remains its signature theme. But the party has proven adept at harnessing discontent with other issues: Germany’s move away from fossil fuels, restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic and support for Ukraine after Russia’s full-scale invasion nearly three years ago.

So don't think this can't happen in Germany AGAIN! You probably have the same number of liberals in Germany as we have here in America. And what about the people in Germany who don't vote now but will vote for this new party? This is what happened here in America.

24% of German's don't vote. This new conservative power will get them to vote. And a lot of people will leave the liberal party. Watch.

Perfect response to a thread about what the rest of the world thinks. Who Cares? Bingo!

Why shouldn't people be proud to be white? There's a hell of a lot of accomplishment going back to the ancient Greeks as well as some things not to be as proud of as with any race.

Because that is silly. In the modern world, even the concept of a 'nation' becomes somewhat obscure. To say nothing about racial divisions and being proud out of that.

If we are talking about the Greeks specifically, they have almost the same relation to the Ancient Greek culture as do the modern-day Egyptian to the Ancient Egypt's one.

Seriously?!

You've got a lot to learn and I don't have the time or the inclination to teach you, but that was certainly an absurd statement.

Strange that the ancient Greeks created an incredible civilization, but Greece today is complete mess.

Thanks, but I don't need your lessons. Some gene pool and common alphabet are maybe the only things you can be proud of.

Thanks, you don't need to. Greeks aren't the same Greeks as they were. Their gene pool was significantly altered. But even that doesn't all that matter. Your grand-grandparents may have been great people that did much for their community, but that has only distant and quite relative bearing to what you are today. If you are a lazy sucker with no talents who tries to exploit his grandparents' past, well, you still are a lazy sucker who ..

Talk to Sealyfag. I'm only half Greek even though unlike him I speak the language, have lived there for about 22 years and have citizenship.

I don't care about him. If he is still proud to be white, then he is a lost cause. And I have nothing about Greece, actually. I think it is a great country to live, if you don't depend on their economy, of course.
