THIS WAS THE BEST! BEEEEST! LOVE YOU GREECE!

[spanier24]

@Pegasos4 I was born in Volos. My father is Greek, my mother is german.

[Pegasos4]

@spanier24

you are never greek, spanier!

[ChristosM1]

@spanier24 I didn't say anything about conspiracies....just about hypocrisy by them.

The economy of the continent will not be saved by this plan, that's the only sure.

Good bye to you too.

[spanier24]

@ChristosM1 Obviously you dont know the history. For you it is easier to think that everything is a big conspiration against us. For you, everything outside Greece are monsters and pure evil. Good, keep on thinking in ghosts, but in Europe there is people working and trying to save the economy of the continent. Good bye.

[ChristosM1]

@spanier24 Please, don't tell me now that the "Union" didn't know back then if Greece used real or fake data.....they knew it but they wanted as many countries as possible in euro.

[spanier24]

@DespinaKouros I speak english here, cause english is the language of the comments in this video. Europe has spent lots of money in Greece, a land that entered the Union by hiding the real data of the economy. I love my country, but its wrong to say that Europe wants to buy us.

[DespinaKouros]

@spanier24 don't you speak Greek?Anyway,friend,NOBODY'S trying to save us!Their trying to buy us cheap and keep having us under control! And that goes for the rest of the members of this parody called "European Union"!South is suffocating in high debts and North is flourishing!Obviously you really didn't pay much attention to my previous message!Both Greek and European politicians are guilty of treachery,treason, and lies! What happens in Greece right now is called GENOCIDE!

[preysolidus]

collasping castle of card is europe,and if you thing german he wants to help us sorry but you dreamig.we will se all what will be happen in few years 1-2.

[spanier24]

@DespinaKouros Sorry, but you are wrong. I'm greek, but I growed up in Germany. The only collapsing castle of cards is Greece. Cant you see it? Meanwhile, Germany tries to save us.

[DespinaKouros]

@spanier24 you are German and you speak about corruption?Man,you made me laugh!!! Before talking about Greece's corruption just consider which GERMAN companies were bribing the Greek (and not only) political system so Germany can take every public work in Greece including weapons and artilery!You know what?You hate Greeks because they showed to Europe that the "King Germany" is naked!!!Your time is near!You'll collapse like a castle of playing cards!!!

[PsychotronicWar]

Ελλάδα μην ξεχνάς (για αυτά που τραβάς): ΚΑΙ ΟΙ ΤΕΛΕΥΤΑΙΟΙ ΕΣΟΝΤΑΙ ΠΡΩΤΟΙ...

[spanier24]

@EffLabels Yes, and Europe will bring money back to the corrupt Greece.

[EffLabels]

@spanier24 Greece will bring democracy back to the dictatorship Europe has become

[EffLabels]

This is AMAZING. over 3000 years of history in a couple of minutes.lol

Just watching this restores my faith and love for Greece. Bravo!

[sigitas0805]

@vabilas28 Yes, and I have big emotions, when see gods of Ancient Greece.

[sigitas0805]

Oldest greek gods- it's wonderful. Where now is Zeus, Areus, Aphrodite, Athena and all gods?
