Anarchists chant pro-terrorist slogans at Athens rally

[Bereta_Eder]

and you had the facts about marches in the US wrong as well. figures.

[DinoDoc]

Doesn't Greece have laws about vandalism or do they go out the window when political rallies are going on?

[Bereta_Eder]

Doesnt LA ring a bell when it comes to vandalism? or the riots at seattle?

dont you have laws for that?

or do you compare them with writing slogans on some walls?

you americans sure aint very fast witted.

True, but they had their own views. Early Americans viewed Rome as more stable and a better model than Athens (Bear in mind most of Greece was never democratic)

In anycase to compare your country with Rome is ridiculous to say the least.

Why? Our legions prop up regimes we like (hence November 17) and overthrow ones we don't like (Too many to count). Our culture permeates virtually every other country in the world (You are communicating in English, on a website about an American product, using Internet protocols developed by Americans). We are the new Rome, a modern republic where the rule of law is superior to the whims of the mob.

you have a crimerate that makes you equal to latin america. no social security and around 38 million living below poverty homeless and dying.

Okay, how about this? Crimes are committed by people around the world, it's hardly an American problem. Social Security is one of the largest items on the American budget, in spite of the fact that it's not in the Constitution. And the poverty line is changed routinely, moving up to reflect that Americans have very high standards of living, even among the poor (hence, cg and Albert Speer for example is able to use technology that the majority of people in the world would never conceive of using.)

you are the hell Europe tries not to be and has succeded so far.

Europe? You mean that place where the Balkans are? Oh yes, because I remember just a couple years ago all that ethnic cleansing that was taking place out in Indiana between different nationalist ethnic groups that had to be cut stopped by the use of European air power. Right, sure, whatever.

to state that america is a well organized and civilized no less society is laughable at best.

unless you compare yourself with uganda.

Wow, a well reasoned and rational argument supported by impeachable evidence. I just can't argue with your astounding logic, my dear little Hellene.

I've been to marches in the US. I don't have my facts wrong at all.

[Imran Siddiqui]

They are scared of them... you know, mob mentality. They aren't are civil as we are in the states, Bill. You know that .

[Bereta_Eder]

yes america does prop up murderous regimes. that why people are amuzed when you cry about osama and the payback you received.

crime at your tortured country is inhumane and there is no comparison with europe


your "culture" is regarded as trash everywhere and is good just for passing 2 hours when you have nothing else to do

to compare yourself with rome is laughable and testimony to your incredible sillyness.

[Bereta_Eder]

and apparebntly you had teh facts about the marches in US wrong. being in one doesn automatically endow you with complete knowledge of the laws, nomatter how suprising this must seem to you.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Our culture is trash, yet everyone gobbles it up. Who is worse, the one who puts out the trash, or the people that beg for it?

Do you were blue jeans, paiktis? Have you ever eaten at McDonalds or an American hamburger place?

My, my, what trash you are .

[Bereta_Eder]

yes i wear european jeans.

yes i have eaten at mcdonalds

and they are trash.

compared with everything you got from europe i'd say your own contributions have been clearly... mediocre? (to put it mildly)

[chequita guevara]

Stupid nationalists.

[chequita guevara]

No disagreement.

I just compared it with the Balkans. There is not ethnic cleansing in the United States. Besides, I live in the United States. Many other posters live here also. How many of us complain about living in a "tortured country?"

your "culture" is regarded as trash everywhere and is good just for passing 2 hours when you have nothing else to do

It's regarded as trash here also. What's your point? My point was that Greeks still watch American films more than we watch Greek films. The same holds true for music, TV, et al. Americans don't care about anything Greeks have produced that isn't ancient.

to compare yourself with rome is laughable and testimony to your incredible sillyness.

Why? I offered evidence showing how we are like Rome. You offered no meaningful arguments to contradict me.

[Bereta_Eder]

then you should not complain when terrorists kill your people since you obviously regard it as just punishment.


there is no ethnic cleansing in the US but there are more dead from its inhuman violence over the years. besides the balkans isnt my country (another surprise maybe) the amount of violence in the US is simply breathtaking, yet you seem to have been accustomed to it not to make such a big impression.

i'm glad you acknowledge your "culture" is trash. ours isnt the fact that you dont see more of our films is a matter that concerns you, solely

america cannot compared with rome unless by dumb witted americans to explain why would be a waste of internet space

Fine. Demonstrate to me how I'm wrong. Are Americans not allowed to protest? I was at a protest, and my friends have been to protests. We must have all been dreaming the whole thing though, because somebody who lives in Greece tells me I don't know anything about America.

I never said we made good contributions. Rome didn't really. Mostly they just copied the Greeks. However our system of government (indirect democracy with access limited to the rich and powerful) is based on the Roman model.

You still haven't done anything except dance around and ignore my arguments.
