They gave up having the power to control their economy when they adopted the Euro... Corruption,mismanagement and cronyism has sunk them to new lows... Hopefully... something positive will come out of this... Not the whole economy. They gave up the responsibility over their monetary policy, a responsibility which was overtaken by ECB, true. But they still controlled their fiscal policy. Now even that responsibility is shifting from Greece's hands over to supranational institutions because of your gvmt's mismanagement.

Yes, the Alb forum had some witty members, as did the Greek forum (Apollo, BR). Yes, I'm still waiting, after 8 years on Illyria, to witness a witty Serb. Still, this wasn't the point I was trying to make. I was saying that if stupidity bothered you that much, you should've made a stand and contront some of your Alb members.I begged you to do this many times over; instead, you acted like the Kosovarë president: smiling, as if you were some kind of wiseguy; an elderly man who understood the rebellious nature of the youth. It was all BS. You shouldn't have discriminated between nationalities. Stupid as stupid, it deserves to be put in place. You misunderstand me; stupidity might've been a problem earlier as well, but it didn't bother me as much as things were more balanced. But now it's become overwhelming. It just so happened to be the Serbs who accounte for this flooding. Not to mention the relentless hatred.

Thats because people have been keeping tabs on Greece... How many times did Albania go bankrupt? Oh wait no one gives a chit... ;D Not to mention all the wars... and our loving neighbors.... Leave it to a Greek to make bankruptcy a matter of status:D And trust me, nobody gives a chit about Greece either. This bailout is really to bail German & French banks who'd otherwise be sitting on worthless loans. That's all it is ,, otherwise Greece would be the European Argentina by now. Having said this, who knows, maybe the Greeks do learn smth this time. Or perhaps it doesn't matter. The reason bcs whichever lane downwards Greece takes, the end result will be a further shift of power from the Greek authorities to either ECB or IMF. Which means Greece will have little say on the matter of its own economy. And it's not like I am joyous Canari, bcs in Greece I fearfully see our own future bcs the same type of mentality prevails. Same goes for much of the Balkans and the Mediterranean for that matter. Croatia is due for EU accession and they face the same issues Greece did and does, namely government deficits and debts on one hand, and no true industry on the other hand with sectors such as tourism being the main sources of revenue ,,

Many Alb members in these forums were on the brighter side of the divide. We might've contributed to some of the stupidity on these boards, but we balanced it out with the intellectual input. The Serbian forum on the other hand seems helplessly unbalanced. Maybe I'm biased but they all appear as unimpressive shades of the same brown messy sh!t.
And if they're just 3-4 Serbs, they certainly seem more numerous .. hence my use of the term "flood".

I believe the Port of Salonika is up for sale. Given that 47% of its traffic is to/from R.Macedonia, it could end up being ours.....I will then confidently say 'Solun e nash' ;D Laugh now while you still can...out of this rubble will emerge a new Greece with a new agenda... History tells a different story. Since its independence in the 1830s Greece has gone bankrupt five times, and would've gone bankrupt a sixth time if it weren't for the fact that it is a member of the European Union. Greece seems to be stuck in some repetitive behaviour.

What "Kosovar" flooding? Were we Albs from Kosova ever more than 3-4 individuals? And what's happening now with the Serbs is unprecedented for these forums - even the Greek forum at its lowest with axristo was more refined. Not to mention my primary battle was with the Serbs and Greeks, that's where my focus lay, just like you with the Bulgarians and Wallachians.

If there are any of you still around, how have you been guys? Not really around anymore, at times I visit the forums to see if there's anything interesting .. but it's usually the same old crap in circulation. So my visits are becoming very infrequent and rare. Now the Serbs have flooded the forums and there's little to no intellectual substance left as a result ,, most threads are reduced to a level that should be beneath anyone above the age of 18 .. granted this element was always present in these forums, but it was balanced out by the inputs of some of the more refined and intellectual participants. Now, the sanity of these forums has been marginalized and things aren't balanced anymore. So I see little reason to continue my activities. The extent to which I come back and visit the forums is to see how my compatriots are doing.

I can tell this much... the Ottomans toned down their brute force as the decades went by. At first the Ottoman goal was to completely eliminate Serb identity from the Balkans, this went on for some time. Raping, kidnapping, slavery etc... was common throughout the Balkan region. I don't agree that Bosnian are "whiter" than Serbs. The only "dark" Serbs I have met were actually from Bosnia/Sandzak area, and some even very south. Belgrade Serbs in general are white, and most can fit into many other European categories. Many people come to the conclusion that Serbs have been ruled by the Ottomans for 500 years and because of this, by default they carry Turk-dna. This assumption is weak, because we tend to not take into account the many Rebel villages/towns/cities who were completely un-controlable by the Ottomans. Serbia was conquered, but that was only less than half the battle, the people weren't turning in themselves that easily. The Ottomans never tried to eliminate Serbian identity.. get your facts straight.

So which would you prefer, ex-Muslim Donnie: Christianity, Islam, or Judaism? Ive never been an "ex-Muslim", unless you consider a secular celebrating of Bajram once a year and eating baklava once a while as central pillars of Islam. My upbringing has been a very secular one; neither of my parents consider themselves Muslim. I consume both alcohol and pork .. the former acceptable to some extent in most Muslims' eyes, the second smth unforgivable. And I prefer none of the above. They're all equally intolerant and exclusive of others in their own way.

There's smth intrinsically political about the three Abrahamic branches, far more so than any contemporary or historical religion. Intolerance is a central feature in them. They foster a sense of "we" and "them" that is far more emphasized than in other confessions, so to the point where it's even been encouraged to commit genocide on the "others" or heathens. Some might argue that they aren't intrinsically political, only that they've been politicized by power-hungry institutions,be they monarchs or the religious institutions themselves (the Church for example). But if one read into them, esp. Judaism and Islam, they're extremely political in their czontent in the sense that they regulate life and society down to most aspects of life .. whereas Christianity in its content is extremely apolitical in the sense that Jesus told his disciples and followers to disregard earthly matters and leave politics to the Emperor. Precisely bcs of this, Christianity was so welcomed by early political leaders, bcs from it they got divine legitimacy, it made the ordinary believers content with their lives because the true kingdom came after death, so there was no need to question the order of things.
I'm sure there are similar paralells in other confessions in other parts of the world, but Abrahamic religions in particular stand out for their expansionism and intolerance.

No problem with most southern Slavs, if only the Serbs could've continued staying in Sorbia, the rest would be welcomed.

Ok, I know this will be controversial, and I don't mean to be offensive but; (some) Albanians to me, have an appearance that looks middle eastern. I know that Albanians are definitely lighter and many look completely European but from what I can gather, the common Albanian features are ears that stick out and a particular head shape. The kind I see in some Turks and middle easterners. Example below, I was watching a news clip about Afghanistan and the Afghan man in the picture below strikes me as particularly Albanian looking. Afghan Compare him to the Albanian kid in the picture below, and they really look like they are from the same race. Albanian What do you make of Serbs like Zoran Tosic? And Brits are quite (in)famous for their pointy ears, some of whom are also brachychephalic as well; Maybe Brits are really Afghans, just like we, hence why they helped us during the war with Serbia?!

If this is the general sentiment in Brussels, I thought a Greek such as yourself would be more sympathetic to our situation. Afterall the term Greek has become something of a pejorative in Europe, associated with fiscal irresponsibility & corruption. There are many voices in Europe that make no distinction in this regard between Greek leadership and the Greek people, and who argue that the mess Greece is in is not solely confined to political irresponsibility and corruption: the root of the problem lies also in the mentality of the Greek people as a whole, with tendencies towards early retirement, laziness, tax evasions, a culture of bribes, undeserved bonuses and a lack of social responsibility, only greed which permeates all strata of society.
Personally, I don't think this is entirely true; there's a certain convenience in blaming the entire Greek society for the economic mess over there, bcs it means we don't have to feel sorry over the austerity measures placed on the people as a result of EU and IMF "recomendations". We're left to believe the Greeks were non-working and overpaid slobs living off German credit and EU handouts. This is probably true for alot of people, but probably untrue for most, as Greeks (according to stats) work more on average than most other Europeans and earn less.
We're both suffering from the ineptitude of our political and economical elite ,, why you're busting our balls for a problem you're suffering from as well is beyond me. In fact, the other EU members are even more annoyed with you ,, in our case, all they have to do is deny us entrance, whereas your problems affect the EMU and consequently the whole European Union.

Mora nje "pushim" nga forumi ,, ketu shoh s'ka ndryshuar gje, e njejta melodi si gjithnje,,, me te zhurmeshmit jane shkijet dhe me ta s'ke per cfare te flasesh ,, prandaj u largova nga ketu. Si te flasesh me zombies. Potezi me i mire deri me tani i qeverise, sepse eshte nje nxitje per zhvillimin e brendshem te prodhimtarise, dhe per Serbine eshte nje humbje e nje tregu prej 400 milion eurosh, white money, e te mos flasim per parate ne te zezen, eshte nje goditje e rende, prandaj e gjithe kjo zhurme nga ana e Serbise dhe prania e vazhdueshme e Stefanoviqit dh Bogdanoviqit ne veri. Te shpresojme qe Thaci te mos dorezohet si rrjedhoje e trysnise ,, Disa gjëra kanë ndryshuar në forum. Por më e rëndësishme është që unë jam këtu. + for the language, no grammatical error as is usually the case with google translate. It seems these forums have hit a new low ,, thats what you get when intellectual giants like Novi and Pyrros take up all space and give each other verbal blowjobs in every second thread. Even AAdmin has abandoned his own vile creation.

Kjo gje eshte nje hap i mire ,, prodhimi vendas eshte rritur per 40 perqind, dhe po lypen burime tjera te importit per te zevendesuar Serbine. Sa me shpejt qe te pamvaresohemi nga importi serb, aq me mire. Kjo i detyron edhe serbet e veriut dal-ngadale te konsumojne prodhimet vendase, qe i shtyen drejt integrimit padashje, dhe shperben kontrollin qe kane momentalisht disa harambasha serb ne veri, mafi e rendomte dhe ish-pjesetar te MUP-it etj.
