  • Modern Greeks have invented nothing!

    In fact they have: The superiority of destroying other people's identity.

    The assimilation of thousands of Macedonians as well as other nations to Greek in the early 19th century.

    But hang on have they stoped? NO

    Greece is still continuing on wiping out the Macedonian identity.

    SHAME ON GREECE!

  • @TheMakGreat in fact i had an error. It was late 19th and 20th century and to this very day.

  • Stop appropraiting the Macedonian ancient history to the Hellenic

    You are Greeks which have no ethnic connection to the City States (Hellada)

    Your name was given by the Romans also your national flag is not your idea you have stolen it from the British East Indies Company that operated in 1700's

    Remamber your state was created 1830 by the Great Powers Germany, France, Britain in order to drive out the yoke Ottoman Empire but what they did not predict is you luck of ability running your own state

  • In ancient Greece most of "the People" were slaves. So, was it really democracy? No. There has never been a country that caters to the true will of its People. Our true will has never been defined. It's always been maligned. It's never been expressed. It's always been repressed.

  • Greek's may have invented sex...but it took Italian's to introduce it to women :)

  • @lilricci93 there were no italians at that time dear... search them after Greeks from Troy went in Lazio and created Rome...:)

  • @tour1stas Hahahaaaaa Do you think there were Greeks in BC or a country called Greece?

    Let me tell you the truth there was not such thing as Greeks or Greece what there was, were City States it is after the Roman conquest Romans named the territory as Greko as we know it Greece today. The land was consisting of the City States without the Macedonian and Tracian region.

    In 1913 Greece occupied part of Macedonia and exiled and assimilated the Macedonian population which were majority

  • @TheMakGreat ok history lessons:Our country name is Hellas, the word 'greek' is wrong. Greeks or greece is a actually bad word for us. It was called Hellas since 400 BC (Aristoteles and Dimosthenis used this word at that time) and it meant all the land, cities etc that are today what you call Greece. These city states you mention had the same language, same gods etc and were one nation since then. There never was a macedonian population. There were Hellens, Slavs which came in the 6th century.

  • @TheMakGreat History cannot change man, get used to it. You are not a macedonian nation because there was never such nation and will never be. You have no language (you speak Bulgarian dialect), 20 years history, not even a national hero... they are all bulgarians, serbs or 'greeks' that you stole from those nations history to feed school books. You can search as much as you can but you wont find anything.

  • @TheMakGreat You have no national existance, you are just a country that has Albanians, Serbs, Bulgarians and 'greeks' who your state propaganda want to be called macedonian!!

    HAHAHAHA... now that is funny :).. anyway I don't mind to be honest I just feel pity about all of you that your politician lie (as our do for other shit) and make you believe those stupid things.. what I told you is just to make you think better. You can call yourself macedonian as much as you want I really dont mind. :)

  • Comment removed

  • @TheMakGreat which simply shows that from 1300 BC all those separate state cities had at least 3 names to describe them all!

  • Whether the so called ancient democracy in the City States did not exist or if it did exist then today Greeks have no ethnical connection with the people of the CIty States. WHy?

    Because if they did have connection Greece would not have been insolvent, i.e financially dead.

  • @TheMakGreat Greeks have been strugling financially because of the wars.Greece was completely distoried many times..The fact that the country still exists and the love of greeks for greece shows the connection between ancient and modern greeks.And that love is why Greece is still Greek...

  • Comment removed

  • Hahahaa finally confession from the modern historians about inventing ancient Greeks.

  • Modern Greeks have invented nothing. As far as ancient Greece is concerned they did not even existed, what existed were City States, the name Greek came lot later during the Roman Empire. Greece state was created in the 1800's. As far as I know they have not invented anything and have financially straggled since its beginning.

  • @TheMsMkd rofl go back to your cave you dirty ape

  • @TheMsMkd I am surprised that you don't respect ancient greece and ancient greek civilization, the fact that dimocracy started there and that revolutions through history are based on greek ideas?Ever heard about Plato?Democritus?Hippocrates?A­rchimedes?as for greeks today: Panayiotis Michael Zavos , george papanikolaou , constantin caratheodory ,Dimitrios nanopoulos...And about the existance of ancient greece just check a history book and you will see how wrong you are

  • Funniest moment @1:37. She got the accent down right....I am still laughing.

  • If it is true ancient Greece invented democracy, it is no mistaken that moden Greeks invented propaganda, lies and more lies.

  • @TheMakGreat " I f it is true ancient Greece invented democracy .."

    zong...

    you lost it by the "hello!"

    yes it is truth .. monkeydonian ;-)

  • Maria wants my Souvlaki . She has the best Greek booty I've ever seen : ))))

  • Greeks invented democracy, Americans invented video games. You decide for yourself what's more important.

  • fuck Greeks. Wanna be Greek, go to Greece and help pull it out of the mess it's in

  • I'M TELLING YOU THE GREEKS ARE EVERYWHERE!! I AM GREEK TOO!!

  • U also invented hitler and the genocide. Racist video.

  • @SomeUser9753 at least Hitler ran his economy better than any Greek

  • @alanbstard4 I don't know this for sure but I can tell, Greeks don't run economies they run the world. At leat that's what they believe, like Onasis and all this crazy stuff u know, Greeks u know. That chick wants a good fuck. Greeks are american puppets they failed like a culture.

  • @alanbstard4 Greeks never stop being Greek. They should have that referendum as they are a free country, but it is their own fault they are a failed State under EU economics. They should never have entered it

    They are not industrious

  • I agree, heritage is a fanatical dupe and divides people. WASPS in America are women rights activists solely. Probably a whole different group all together. Arent groups fun? Nice talking to you.

  • what is this video for anyway?? don't tell me this is to show the importance of voting,big value of democracy, cause ancient greeks would dig themselves out of their graves to chase these guys if they saw this.....

  • Sorries folks, Italians ares betters, Two words, Renaissance biatch.

  • @weatherkop e bitch renaissance by the way were started by byzantine greek intelligent community :)),,read books bitch!!! greeks again and yea,again,,this is not my fault that greeks did everything,,

  • @papcyrill e bitch? Riiiiight.... The Byzantine empire were hardly exclusive to Greece, friend. The contributions of Greeks lay dormant waiting to be organized and expanded upon by the actual Renaissance. There was probably a lot of wine and semen all over the notes,lol. Next time you go to the doctor, ask them to use philosophy and politics to diagnose you.

  • @weatherkop Have you seen the Jersey Shore lateley? lol Nothing to brag about

  • @EffLabels Why are you bragging about watching the show then? Your rhetorical implication only stands on half breed guidos from New Jersey, not Renaissance era Italians. In summary, all humans in any time period do embarrassing things that look ridiculous to others.

  • @weatherkop Mate, You are the one summarising and generalizing one group as 'better' than the other. The hysterical thing is most WASPS regard Southern Europeans as inferior anyway. They dont' give a toss about the 'history' Italian, Greek, Spanish.. if your name isnt John Smith and you dont have blonde hair blue eyes and wear Lacoste, you're not getting in the country club lol

  • @EffLabels WASPS are less race conscience than others

  • @alanbstard4 You reckon? in Europe I would say it's the opposite.

  • @weatherkop just so you know renaissance didnt only occur in italy but also in netherlands and other parts of europe and it was based in the ancient greek spirit and mythology...before you speak you should do your homework and be more respectfull...btw i dont look down at italian culture on the contrary as a curator i appreciate and recognize all other cultures

  • @hrisaki84 To disassociate humans from each other breeds asinine conversations like this and wastes everyone's time. I was only adding to the pseudo intellectual, childish and ethnocentric theme that this video and the comments are all wading in.

  • who doesnt like the greeks or greece anyway??

  • Greeks didn't invent democracy. Athenians did. There's a big difference between a modern Greek and an Ancient Greek, they only share the same lands.

    That's like saying Africa is the best place on Earth because the first people came from there so technically without Africa, there would be no people, no civilization, no Ancient Greeks or Romans.. etc..

  • @SwooshParker ancient or modern, we are all Greeks. We have the same lands and the same sea, we speak the same language, we have similar traditions etc.

  • @SwooshParker i doubt there would be

    

  • @krisnsamrdarandomers So then in that case, Africa is officially the best place on Earth. We should all praise them for their hard work in creating the first people.

  • @SwooshParker well, thats your oppinion but i'm gunna say the best place on earth is LEEDS!

  • @SwooshParker You know that the 'we all came from Africa' theory has been debunked numerous times. And you are comparing people simply being somehwre due to nature, with a civilization actually being creative and sharing their creativity with the world. Two seperate things.

  • @SwooshParker educate your self,,please

  • @papcyrill Don't worry, my country is highly educated, in fact, one of the most in the world. It's not difficult to know it was invented in Athens but to say an ancient Athenian is the same as a modern one is a bit of a stretch. It's not really correct to say "we invented it" when the things you share with Ancient Greeks are land and a derived language.. I'm pretty sure after all the invasions, interbreeding, and thousands of years you are no direct ancestor of the founder of democracy. 

  • @SwooshParker yes we are,,your argument just shows an envy,,nothing else,,you feel too tiny and inferior (this is your problem not mine) and you actually try to deminished us with that way!!! i doubt your education!!!

    and in the end how the fuck we are sharing the land AND the language which is the most basic factor? why dont we speak some other language after so many invansion and interbreeding?anyway i will not discuss with you about my ancestors,,yea pal my ancestors gave you everything

  • @SwooshParker what about your ancestors? where you come from?albanian? skopjian? i am pretty sure you are connected to thhese two countries,,because lies and propaganda you try to spread feels very familiar to me!!

    and yes my friend tha blackberry you canadians are so proud about,,was invented by a greek guy too!!! mark lazaridis!! powned ,,as about contribution to the world ,,canadians did nothing,,absolutely nothing!! Germans did a lot (hitler doesntt count)

  • @SwooshParker after greeks and romans only Germans contributed a lot, almost equaly ,,they can be proud,,but you,,,no,,you did nothing!! as about modern greeks,,i can present you thousand of greeks great scientists all over the world!! even the president of nasa is greek,,paptest ,,ask your mother about paptest,,it was greek guy who discovered it!! the list can be endless

  • @SwooshParker as about education ,,the guy who has favorite videos ,so you think you can dance,,and katy perry ,,i dont think is well educated ,,you are a 14 years old boy probably,and gay

  • @SwooshParker lmao just saw that you have "lets play pokemon" in your fav list!!! OMG I JUST WASTED MY TIME WITH YOU!!!

  • @papcyrill My little brother uses my account to comment on youtube.. Really?

    And if I actually did watch "let's play Pokemon" for fun.. It makes it even more embarrassing for you as you'd be even more of an idiot than you already are..

  • @SwooshParker go play pokemon,,turd

  • @papcyrill Lololololol okay terrific.. I'll go find my brother's games and play them contently while you sit at home crying because you've come to the realization that you are not an ancient Greek.

  • @SwooshParker haha i am not an ancient greek,,because we are living in modern times fag :))),,go play gay games with your brother(sister),,:))it is not about being greek..it is more about not beiing greek,,and you have so many complexes about it:),,you are actually the one who are crying about being nothing:))),,,kisses to your mother!!!

  • @SwooshParker what about your ancestors? tell us we glad to hear,,,you are albanian dosnt you?

  • haha love you all guys. you are great. proud of you and your success in America. Greetings from GREECE!

  • @jamestegart100 Why is it a competion? I have lived in both America and Greece, and they are both beautiful in their own way.

  • Now thats funny!! While you know a lot of people won't vote because they don't support this so called today's democracy you remember about greeks and all they contributed to this world..i'm just saying that i wonder if ancient greeks would consi todays political system as a democracy.i mean voting each 4 or whatever years for a man or party to govern by itself for these next years.isn't it kind of hypocritical to say vote to support democracy while its really not? sigh....

  • @Anchoret89 Ancient Greeks would tottaly not consider this thing a democracy

  • yay go Ghana!!!

  • τι μουναρα ειναι αυτη η μενουνος

  • The Greeks should be proud of their great history but remember the old saying what have you done for me recently?

    Modern Greeks should not rest on their laurels pointing to the achievements of their illustrious ancestors but seek to surpass them.

    And of course Greek women are beautiful, only such beautiful creatures could inspire the greatest art in the history of man.

  • @ImaginedWriter do you know the ottomans turks? they gave the final blows of the destruction of the rapidly growing medieval civilization of greece then was byzantium technically we are young nation

  • @polor89 The Byzantine Empire was ancient by the medieval age and completely stagnant, if it was rapidly growing and flourishing it would now have lost the old Eastern Roman Empire to a bunch of barbarians. Greece has not done anything since the imperial age of Rome.

  • @ImaginedWriter Are you refering to the country, or the people? You do know Greeks in diaspora are the second most succesful minority in the world.If you are refering to the country, the same can be said for most of Europe. What has Rome done? or Britain? (which was once a great empire.)The reality is, they DID something,even if it is no more. When one has created everything, what is left? lol I question what has America contributed besides war?

  • @EffLabels Britain revolutionised science, from the theory of evolution, Newtonian mechanics, the structure of DNA, the big bang theory, economics with adam smith, industrial revolution etc...

    Italy revolutionised art inventing perspective. Greeks have done nothing comparable in recent history. And Americans got to the moon, put a pc in every home, revolutionised the internet, mobile technology etc...

  • @ImaginedWriter LOL How long ago did the Italians do that? 100's if not 1000's of years ago.You said 'recently'. Britain hasnt done anything 'recently'. I live in Britain. it's far from progressive.

    America is an immigrant country, alot of those inventions you mentioned were contibuted by Greek Americans. AOL founded by a Greek, the Pap Smear (saves people from cervical cancer) invented by a Greek, the father of Independent Cinema was Greek. China is more responsible for technology than the US

  • @ImaginedWriter Just take a look at Maria Menounos....such a hotie...i am so proud our women are beautiful

  • @ImaginedWriter well said :) i totally agree! many bad things have happened to greece through the ages making it extremely difficult for us to recover and move on every time though, and every time we took one step forward something happened and then we were three steps backwards up to zero point again, but we really need to surpass ourselves,make a huge effort and be the ones we used to...

  • mariaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • I would rather see: FUCK YEAH! instead of Heck yeah, but ok:-)

  • ta spaei!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This is great (Greek)!!!! Hilarious!

  • what on earth is this? a joke?

  • We invented democracy and now we dont live in democracy. How cool is that?

    note: we do officially, but is this really supposed to be democracy?

  • @SkywalkerGFZ How i agree with you!

  • @SkywalkerGFZ There's no democracy anywhere on the planet we live bro. There's only greed, violence and corruption. This crom a Greek that believes his country is nothing like the ancient times, I'm not a proud Greek.

  • @m0nkeypr0n ffs if democracy didnt exist u wouldnt be able to write crappy comments to utube ffs...

    proud to be greek.....not proud for our politicians now though !!

  • Heck yeah! Would be really funny if someone actually did a poll Galifianakis v Pitt.

  • That was sooooooo true! Except maybe for the hula-hoops. But then again, Bob is a sportscaster.

  • Most excellent and true!

  • "Greek American Sex Symbol Betty White" Is Betty White Greek?

  • @jsaff166 yes she is!

  • A Must See!

  • USA is A REPUBLIC...and who invented that?

    The Roman Republic was started by Lucius Iunius Brutus in 509 BC. This was the first form of a republic governing system...ultimately the GREEKS !!!

    Vote ...keep America's Constitution ALIVE !!!

  • @kkkkkkatherine Repuclic doesn't mean "democracy". the origin of the word comes from the latin "republica" that means the public things= policy in general. and of course, America is NOT a republic as "democratic state" because there is serious problem with censorship there and a totally wrong pfilosofy that American governments have the right to rule the world.

  • @summerdaysallyear --look you live in Greece- according to your info--WHY are you arguing? Have some Ouzo and relax!!

  • I love it! Very light hearted and funny!

  • Very clever! Bravo sas paidia!

    Amazing how comedy is restoring some sense of sanity to the US elections. Maybe we just need to laugh at the Tea Baggers and Fox Fear-mongers to render their brand of politics impotent and "ridikulus!".

  • i hate to remind this but chuck norris invented democracy. actually, chuck norris invented everything.

  • Watch this and learn how you too can do the Greek thing! Too funny . . .

  • OMG! This is so funny!!!

  • LOL at Tina Fey's "Trekoma!-Trekoma" at 1:10, reminds me of Yia Yia discussing politics.

  • @Moviemakerjjcasino Genius Fey is saying "drepome...drepome..."  which means I'm so ashamed!

  • "Dont let those that rule, those that promise, those that scare you, to fool you. Do not be a lost flock. Think with your own mind. Every human is a spectacular being, unique and responsible. Defend your own soul, as it is the cell of every form of freedom" Alekos Panagoulis

  • Stop fooling yourselfs. People in ancient Greece were the only ones that had democracy simply because every citizen was WELL INFORMED AND RESPONSIBLE. Nowadays people in every country are brainwahed and this so called democracy is infact a corporatocracy. The words of Pericles Aristotle Socrates etc are not valid anymore simply because they were based on their own era.
