Uz They are being emotional in their responses and we all know how solid of an opinion is one based on emotions lol I agree. Unfortunately many of our people in the Balkans are emotional basket cases. It is one of our shortcomings among many positive traits

We should try to avoid critisizing.
Letting go of what we have been taught so dearly to keep sacred for thousands of years, is a difficult task, and ultimatly, a test.

Emotion is a trait of a human being.

There's positive and negative emotions.
There's emotions that can motivate and give determination, and there's emotions that can be self-destructive and control you.

Whatever. I still prefer being an emotional person, not some kind of calculating machine, driven by logic.

Nothing is wrong with having emotions. Its apart of what makes us human.
But when making decisions that will effect mass's of people, using emotions as the prime motivator can only lead to bloodshed. Only a logical/constructive plan can succeed.

Now...what are we talking about? Getting closer to a girl or exterminating millions of people because they are different that us?

You will always get the confusion here. Try to get used to it. And...don't expect many people to admit when they were wrong

lol. I am not here to "win" any arguments. I am more interested in the sharing of ideas, concidering the amount of diversity we have in this forum.
Information and views that come from a new or different perspective, should not be ignore right away. It should be concidered for at least a second. There is nothing more valuable than knowledge, especially when it is foreign.

What do you mean by foreign? Another balkan country or some other source?

Well say for example a westerner who has been to the Balkans, and speaks on behalf of his observations, without even knowing the history.

For such cases, ask Pazar. He is used to giving references from people who speak on Balkan languages and dialects without knowing a single one of them, like some german geologist who is the ultimate source for pazar in terms of linguistics.

So, I don't know how true this is or not, I think I can find sources for it though.
Most of the so called ancient Greek stories or plays I don't remember which, were in fact stolen from Africans. The Greeks apparently were good at translating them and then adapting them to their own culture.
So then... this union.... and language should really connect to Africa and lets say Swahili... you could have a proper national costume for once. Not those bloody skull caps and skirts u keep bickering belongs to each other!
Anyhow... You were all part of the Ottoman empire for 500 bloody years ... u had a common language haha.. and today a common history. In fact u don't realise but u are mature now... and aware that unions r no good, a common culture wont work... just try to live happy in ur own countries...

A union can work. Only a few factors need to be concidered.
This thread isn't mainly speaking about "knowledge", I wanted to bring up the situation in the Balkans as is, what it is today. We all have resources that can be shared equally amongst our nations. We don't have to dependant on anybody.
The Turks needed to expand for a reason. Times haven't changed much since then.
