Anarchists chant pro-terrorist slogans at Athens rally

[Bereta_Eder]

your argument is just mentioning names such as cicero. hardly worth an explanation apart from where cicero got his ideas and what you said. that the romans copied most of it all from greeks.


the fact that you were in protests dont mean much. we are talking about how democratic your country is or isnt.

paiktis, what's with the french flag?

I would say that the terrorists viewed it as just. However, the new Rome doesn't have to tolerate justice. We will murder, rape, and pillage whoever we want. And Greece can't do a damn thing to stop us.

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)

I never said the Balkans were in your country. I said they were in Europe.

Murders happen in the US. I never said they didn't. However, few Americans live in abject fear of being murdered at any moment. Mostly criminals kill other criminals. Victims of crimes often know the person who is attacking them, and while that doesn't make it good, it means that people are able to have some control over their lives.

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

Okay. I don't really care though.

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

I'm tired of this bull****. I already gave you reasons why we're like Rome. You've given no reasons explaining why we aren't.

[Bereta_Eder]

if the US rapes and murders then it is our job to stop it. islamists use terrorism we use whatever powers the EU has.

your "arguments" about the US and Rome are laughable at best. where to start?

My argument is that America's founding fathers were more influenced by Rome than by Greece. Romans derived some ideas from Greece, but they certainly were not copied. They have a distinct flair, one you would recognize if you compared and contrasted them. America embraced the Roman views more than the Greek ones, since our founding fathers viewed democracy as dangerous and unstable.

I said Americans are free to protest. You said I was wrong. I said that I'd been to a protest. Now you're telling me that it doesn't matter?

I never said America was very democratic. I said it was intended to be a republic, with the rule of law, not a democracy. We're arguing about nothing.

He isn't interested in giving you actual reasons. He just wants to see how long you'll tolerate him spouting BS before ignoring him.

murders happen in the US is an understatement. your violence is inhuman compared to european and particular to greek standars (lowest crime rate in the EU itself). more people die from violencein a week in the US than in the WTC terrorist attacks.

Start with the fact that the US is the overwhelming power in the world, that our forces are stationed in a majority of the nations of the world, that our clearly inferior culture is exported to billions around the world, and that our economic and military strength can only be rivaled when entire continents gang up on us.

[Bereta_Eder]

greece is also a republic yet infitenly more democratic than the US. direct democracy cannot work in large populaces everyone knows that. to compare modern nation states with ancient city states is absurd at least. romans did copy although they did develop their own flair. yet to compare rome itself with the US system is again absurd.




being in a march doesn endow you with knowledge of the laws as you claimed in the beggining

Yeah, we're a savage and violent country. We **** TNT and fart napalm. We'd rape a fellow's own mother as a way of saying, "Hello." Instead of ID cards we all carry guns, and the police identify us by the heads of our fallen enemies that we lash on our belts. Frankly, I don't know why you're so eager to start a fight with such a clearly unbalanced and barbaric bunch of people. You do know what we did to Dresden, Tokyo, Berlin, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Hanoi, My Lai, and other villages, towns, and cities around the world, right?

We are the all seeing, all killing, badasses of the world. Get used to it, and quit your *****ing, paiktis.

[Bereta_Eder]

you have no power to make dictations as to how we run our lives. your laws cannot be enforced to us.

rome's did.


your military power is overstated and hugely dependnant on european cooperation. take that away and you fall like a giant on glass legs.

rome's didnt.

your culture is like a hamburger, cheap and only good for a quick snack while the real dinner remains elsewhere.

your "culture" is not exported as m,uch as you think either.

rome formed europe into one coherent entity. you cannot claim the same.


rome was the most civilized place on earth (or europe) at that time. the US is one of the least civilized countries in the west.


do you have any more arguments?

[Bereta_Eder]

i dont believe you're badasses nor very potent. you are being used to serve purposes which are not in your immideate understanding.

your place in the world, for the moment, is beneficial to us even though your country does suck (but thats your problem) and you get all the rap for it like terrorist attacks (but thats your problem as well).


youir corporations live well, your people do not. here it isnot the same.

Greece is more democratic than the United States. Your people are apparently free to vandalize property. I can't say that most Americans enjoy that liberty.

I didn't say that they were the same. I said that our system was modeled on it. It was. The founding fathers looked to Rome for inspiration when they were building our government. I hate to say it, but that's just the simple historical fact, something you would know if you studied early American history.

I never said being in a march endowed me with knowledge. However, it did endow me with personal experience. I saw what American protests are like first hand. That's a claim you simply can't make.

I know the laws of my country because I'm a (moderately) good citizen.
