  • @gymratg88 stop making up bullshit...honestly. Greek and Italian are two different cultures. How do you imitate Italian-Americans when most of them act like every other American?

  • Its not fair to say Italian food is better than greek food because Italian food is the best in the world, better than any country. World renowned and enjoyed. Just like Italian fashion. Greek food is still great tho, hot girls too :)

  • @SuperJetAirliner Sick of this copy bullshit, the only thing Romans copied from Greeks was sculpture. Romans were far superior to Greeks in everything bar philosophy. Greeks: Get of you filthy pedastool, clean the dust off it, because the Romans shaped the West far more than the Greeks did. And I said in another comment, the Greeks were influenced by Egyptians and Persians. Foolish people.

  • @no1ismetallica Greece was never an empire. Check your facts.

  • @SuperJetAirliner Pita or Pizza, the etymological origins is beside the point. It is a completely different food. When I see comments like this I say to myself, Greeks are and have always been jealous of the impact the Roman empire had. That goes for the popularity of Italians too. Italians have always been more popular than anybody else in Europe, because geographically it is the core of the West. Westerners, as we know them today are originally Roman and Italian. Greeks, get off your pedastool

  • @GamariusMarius I am sick of this bullshit. The very first attempt at construction of an alphabet was by the Persians. They first utilised consonants, then the cretians, Crete, established the vowel system that was adopted by Hellene Greece. When the Roman republic was in its infancy they further developed the combination of vowel and consonant system. Over time as with anything, language becomes more sophisticated. FYI %70 of the English language as it is used in speech is Latin.

  • @R10freestyle THAT'S RIGHT ! "PIZZA" ACTUALLY MEANS

    ~ P ~ I ~ T ~ A ~ WHICH IS THE GREEK PIE ! ! ! !

    WHEN THE GREEKS USED TO WORK AT THEIR FIELDS

    OUT OF "NAPOLI" WHICH IS A GREEK NAME TOO,

    N E A - P O L I S = NEW CITY IN GREEK,

    THEY USED TO CARRY WITH THEM IN BAGS

    ~ P - I ~ T ~ A ~ AND SAY TO EACH OTHER "COME ON TIME FOR A BREAK LET'S EAT OUR PITA"

    ITALIANS WHO USED TO HEAR "PITA PITA"

    TASTED IT ONCE, THEY LIKED IT AND THEY COPPIED

    THE RECIPEE AND THEN CALLED IT "PIZZA"
