Okay. Duke University talks about Pre battle speeches of Alexander, right? It talks about the speech in the Greek, Roman, and Byzantine Studies. Ergo, Alexander was either a Greek, a Roman, or a Byzantine. LOL

Yes, I had a feeling that the point you were trying to make is that you're stupid but you need not work that hard to convince me.

Please call again… :D


Oh come on! You used that one liner before! Surely you have something better stored on your word pad...go ahead, take a look. Breathlessly waiting your zinger with great anticipation. :lol: Box head.

If you ask Macedonians they will tell you they are as Greek as the Kurds are Turkish.... :wink: :)

Yet this will not stop brainless fanatical nationalists insisting that Macedonians are Greek,and,till very recently,Kurds are "Mountain" Turks.... :lol:


While you are not a fanatic. Nope, not at all. LOL Thanks Bir....you hypocrite. When Greeks say that Macedonians are Greek they are not refering to the Slavs of FY RoM

ROTFLMAO

When the "Macedonian" issue was at its height, a hapless Greek dared to say that Alexander the Great did not conquer half the world by throwing rose petals around but by massacre. He was buried, by the majority of course.

In third world countries the majority does this to you if you are in the minority and you dare to speak out your opinion. In Greece and in Cyprus and perhaps in Turkey too, I wouldn't know, there is no real, free debate of issues, because the majority quickly sticks labels on you that make it impossible for anyone to listen to your different point of view and the knock on effect of this is to have strong majority views that touch 70 and over percent (in the 90's when it came to the Macedonian issue) just because there is no real, mature debate of different opinions.
