I am Supporttheunderdog , not a dog.

A name expresses a person's essence and identity and the meaning of this person's life. To disclose one's name is to make oneself known to others; in a way it is to hand oneself over by becoming accessible, capable of being known more intimately and addressed personally.

I apologise. I should have said you are a Jewish dog. :wink:


Aand I keep telling you that s far as I know I am not Jewish: every time you keep saying it you just make your self look even more of a schmuck than you do already. Now wind yer neck in malaka!

why not? It is where the phrase "I AM WHO I AM" comes from - and because I am a wind-up merchant and knew full well you would come out with that tired excuse for an insult!

1. The sites I submit make references to other sites, links and sources, from where you can get more “official” and trustworthy information or find sources of such.
What would you like me to do? Submit the whole book of Arianos, or of contemporary historians for instance, to substantiate my comments about Alexander the Grate? Or to go find British, French and Russian news papers of 1940 referring to the importance of the resistance of Greece to the Axis?

2. Why don’t you show me your sources that prove mine junk and untrustworthy?

3. Don’t just tell me I am wrong. Prove me wrong. Facts.

4. Or is it that everybody should take your claims and opinions for granted?

One of the basic principals of Hellenism, my friend, was and is the rejection of DOGMAS. Proof is what we need. Proof. Don’t ask me to believe 1+1 = 5 because you say so. Prove it to me.
That was one of the reasons that led the dogmatic Christians to the murder of Hypatia. She was the guardian of the knowledge which contradicted and ridiculed the DOGMAS of her times.

We're talking about Greeks from Greece.


WRONG. This is exactly the point. When talking about Hellenism we are talking about the Ecumenical Hellenism, either of previous times or contemporary, either within Greece or in the US or the Far East etc.

And when speaking of the influence of Hellenism we do not refer to its influence on Greece and the Greeks but World Wide, previous, present and future.

I would have no problem to get into a discussion or a debate, if you like, about modern Greece and Greeks (after 1821 or 1453 or 1950 or whatever) but that should be, I think, under a different thread.

I admit that I also posted into this thread comments related not to Hellenism but to modern Greece and contemporary Greeks, but that was done as an answer to relevant challenges and especially to insults like opa-opa ouzo and such.

That bit was inherent in the "Oλα ανοιχτά" speech (read my first comment) he made before the confidence vote. Greece comes first, not his career.

Now, I suggest you expand your horizons and learn some Greek. Too late, for you, the cerebral benefits of bilingualism; but it might minimise some of your dogmatic views. :D
