If you are not, it just shows how easily stereotypes are born, and how we should be on our guard against them.
In just 5 posts, you figured me for a steorotypical Greek nationalist and a racist to boot. I just responded to what you yourself outlined which was a basic and repressed education system, violations of free speech and human rights. This is not what you would call a "modern country".
You missed my main point, which was one of self-criticism. I did indeed jump to the counclusion that you were a "steorotypical Greek nationalist ", and have realised my mistake. As I said, we must all be on the guard against jumping to stereotypical conclusions, something to which human psychology predisposes us.
