On second thoughts I don't feel bad about it after reading some of their stuff..,at least they don't try to portray it as someone else's or theirs.... millions would read these words that visit the Museum .... and find out that there were the Greeks and there was the rift raft...around us..... chipping away at us like they still do today..... thank God for a third party to slap it in thier faces like they should.... ooh yeah..nearly forgot after checking out their site...I didn't see anywhere the words "Romanian or Romanians... WTF.... where were these cavemen hiding out? During the Bronze Age (around 3200 – 1100 BC), a number of cultures flourished on the islands of the Cyclades, in Crete and on the Greek mainland. They were mainly farmers, but trade across the sea, particularly in raw materials such as obsidian (volcanic glass) and metals, was growing.
The collapse of Mycenaean civilisation around 1100 BC brought about a period of isolation known as the Dark Age. But by around 800 BC the revival had begun as trade with the wider world increased, arts, crafts and writing re-emerged and city-states (poleis) developed.
By around 500 BC ‘rule by the people’, or democracy, had emerged in the city of Athens. Following the defeat of a Persian invasion in 480-479 BC, mainland Greece and Athens in particular entered into a golden age. In drama and philosophy, literature, art and architecture Athens was second to none. The city’s empire stretched from the western Mediterranean to the Black Sea, creating enormous wealth. This paid for one of the biggest public building projects ever seen in Greece, which included the Parthenon.
Every fourth year between 776 BC and AD 395, the Olympic Games, held in honour of the god Zeus, the supreme god of Greek mythology, attracted people from across Greece. Crowds watched sports such as running, discus-throwing and the long-jump. Ancient Greece also played a vital role in the early history of coinage. As well as making some of the world’s earliest coins, they were the first to use them extensively in trade.
Following the death of Alexander and the division of his empire, the Hellenistic period (323-31 BC) saw Greek power and culture extended across the Middle East and as far as the Indus Valley. When Rome absorbed the Greek world into its vast empire, Greek ideas, art and culture greatly influenced the Romans.
The British Museum collection includes objects from across the entire Greek world, ranging in date from the beginning of pre-history to early Christianity in the Byzantine era. I love the British

The Brits have always been good explorers, historians, and patrons of art. You are correct in your assumption to say that they promote your image. If they and others would not have put so much effort in gaining and treasuring those artifacts, your past would not have gotten the glorious image it holds today.
Instead of thanking them, what do you do? You spit on them! You spit on Lord Byron!

Lord Byron was half Greek.... we love him... Sure you do...he was in the Greek way. He was also suffering from the emotional strain of his friendship with Loukas Chalandritsanos, a Greek boy, whom he had brought as a page from Cephalonia and to whom he addressed his final poems. englishhistory.net/byron/life.html

What a crock of chit.... Albanians don't care who Byron slept with or passionately loved. We just know that the British have his portrait in Albanian Suliote Outfit. portrait of Byron in Albanian dress by Thomas Phillips, 1835 Another funny thing about Byron, look who he hired to protect him from greeks...lolol February 5, Byron learns the Greek government is unable to support a corps of 3000 for the expedition against Lepanto. The Greeks had assumed he would pay the support of the full corps. Byron hires ten Germans as a bodyguard.www.rc.umd.edu/reference/chronologies/byronchronology/1823.htmlThe Brits and Byron thought Greeks to be quite pathetic in their honor system and ability to keep their word to him and their cause for freedom. lolol..even OReilly implies Tenet's treason...hehehe!! And OReilly would just lay down his life for bush..lolololol, only not for tenet.. pfft!! Ps to canaris, you should really develop a vocabulary. Your Greek friends will think 'chit' is the correct spelling...lolololol!!!

Why do trolls do it? I believe that most trolls are sad people, living their lonely lives vicariously through those they see as strong and successful. Disrupting a stable newsgroup gives the illusion of power, just as for a few, stalking a strong person allows them to think they are strong, too. For trolls, any response is 'recognition'; they are unable to distinguish between irritation and admiration; their ego grows directly in proportion to the response, regardless of the form or content of that response. Trolls, rather surprisingly, dispute this, claiming that it's a game or joke; this merely confirms the diagnosis; how sad do you have to be to find such mind-numbingly trivial timewasting to be funny? www.flayme.com/troll/

Try to write the real word and see what gets printed.

Seriously, I made a point about you developing a vocabulary, so your Greeks won't mistake it's spelling in case they need to use the word. Also, why would I use that word when dung or feces or excrement or dregs succintly describes the putrefaction in nationalists who continue to deny what everyone knows to be the truth.

I support England's stand on this. Civilization belongs to the civilized. Then nothing should be belonging to England, including her sovereignty.

I love the British Canaris, you change with the weather, man. I think Greece could present her heritage heaps better than some criminals from London. After all, they act like the "exhibitionist burglars" who are proud of the valuable items that they stole, and ironically, they still make money out of heritage that do not belong to England by any means. It is nothing that can be appreciated, really.

You can not evade that.

I also dispute the rest of what you said, altough that doesn't mean it's not true for others. There can be more than one reason why one decides to start trolling a discussion board and altough all reason lead to the ego, as you successfully point it out, I believe it often has little to do with power, influence, or control. It may be the initial reason, when one first starts trolling, but after several years, most troll mature in their trolling and will find more sophisticated reasons and methods to continue their ventures.

I support England's stand on this. Civilization belongs to the civilized. What is civilization and civilized to you Jerry? So the British are considered civilized? Lets see we have; 1)The British are civilized. 2)The British occupied foreign lands and killed millions. 3)Thus the killing of millions and occupation of land = Civilized Oh yeah very "civilized"
