[stfunoob707]

normally i don't like to be reminded of george bush but that was quick and so damn applicable i couldn't help but laugh

I can see you are not familiar with the local History here-These crimes have been ongoing up to today-They are not thousands of years old-Forced assimilations are still going on and yet the world does not recognise this and on top of that we are blamed for committing crimes against them today-This is not fair-It is like blaming the victim and letting the criminal go free-It is not justice-All we want is for them to recognise their forced assimilations of Greeks living there

[5hitter]

An interesting ancestral combination-One that has hated and fought each other for centuries-The Celts though did not do anything to the Anglo-Saxons-Anyway, I will disagree with you about judgement and again you are missing the point which is historical justice and objectivity-The slavs have been blaming us for crimes-We have not done anything to them to be apologetic-We want the world to recognise their crimes against us-Is it wrong for the Jews to blame the nazi's or Armenians the turks?

@5hitter Wow I am not even going to reply to most of what you have written you have gone completely off the rail. What I will say though is that you probably should stop judging a nation on it's actions thousands of years ago, especially when said actions were commonplace at the time. Btw I am not a slav, I am of Anglo and Celtic descent so speak from the point of view of a person who's ancestors forcefully displaced, raped, pillaged and if they were lucky assimilated my other ancestors

[5hitter]

@SuperSilkyJohnson-Stating the truth is not twisting facts-Read History-Justifying the theft of other people's History, lands,murder and then forced assimilation should not be taken lightly and what is worse it is Greece that is looked as the bad guy here-Then why does the continue criticising nazism and communism then if they accept this-Its hypocrisy- I have not read what you think of the forced assimilation of the Greeks in vardarska but you defend and praise the slavs actions-Are you a slav?

[SuperSilkyJohnson]

@fares57 lol, the world is strange

[SuperSilkyJohnson]

@5hitter Way to twist the facts. Cultrally slavs had a huge impact on macedonia and the whole balklans for that matter. Unless of course your speaking gentically, in which case it is not really known how much of an influence the slavs had. Of course it doesn't really matter anyway as a nation's identity is tied to it's culture and not it's genetics.

[5hitter]

What do the slavs have anything to do with the Ancient macedonians? They are thiefs of Greece's History

[5hitter]

Both are the same-Modern day Macedonians are the hundreds of thousands of Greeks who are the true descandants of the Ancient Macedonians, forced to adopt slavic names by their slavic occupiers-The supposedly 'civilised' West does not recognise and ignores this fact while it recognises only the slavs and gave them the name Macedonia despite Greece having a state called Macedonia-an unworthy act from so called allies and friendsThe area was called Vardarska-a slavic name for thousands of years-

[SuperSilkyJohnson]

@5hitter Mordern day macedonians or ancient macedonians?

[MrKristijan97]

Alexander is MAcedonian :)
