No, for the same reason Turkey shouldn't join. They are not Europeans. They shouldn't participate in european sports events either, but I guess it's too late for that...

I don't agree 100%. Churches are empty of young people, but only a few describe themselves as atheist. They do when they are at their teen years, but after the age of 20 I have met very few people who don't believe in God. I think that the majority of teenagers just call themselves atheist just...

Greeks are everywhere! LOL

In Greece smoking is banned in all public indoor places but you will always find people smoking illegally

What Cambria Red said is very true. Autosomal DNA is used to tell one's ancestry and Greek autosomal DNA studies prove that we are Europeans and of course cluster with them and not with Africans or Asians. This sum of Dienekes is very interesting, although most of you have probably read it...

Stereotypes have always existed. Everyone thinks that Northern Europeans, like Swedes, are almost totaly blond, but as adults they are about 50%. Spanish and Portuguese are always told that they look like Latin Americans and that they have African dna, Greeks are supposed to be dark mixed with...

I agree. As I said in my post above I haven't seen any people with true black here in Greece or Italy, except for immigrants from Middle East. But even they are not maily black haired. Many are actually dark brown

It seems we are the only ones, cause this thread has been here for quite some time... For a while my vote was the only one :grin:

Who is she? She looks likes me! I got scared for a second, I thought it was my pic! :laughing: Only I have more oval face and blue eyes (hers look like blue-gray in the pic). I don't think any European has real black hair. Very dark brown yes but not black. The only true black haired Greeks...

These facts make me tend towards the idea that IQ is related to race. But I haven't seen any conclusive research, so I tend to not be 100% sure. I'm fairly certain though that environment can significantly affect IQ.

Then it makes more sense that Greece seems to have the same coloring as Western Europe while it has similar Y-DNA with Albania and Serbia, who have the lowest Neanderthal admixture according to the map.

Well in order to have fair eyes you need to get the gene from both parents since fair eyes are caused by recessive genes. If the Italian parent doesn't have the gene for lets say blue eyes then even if the French parent has very light eyes the kids will not have blue eyes. So if the kids get to...

That is really cool! I always order one when I go out for drinks and most of my friends also drink it ever since I told them to try it. Glad to support the brewery your brother works at! :D The price here is around 7.5-8.5 euros for the bottle of 500ml if you order it at a bar since it's...

@Elias2 How can you have a decent conversation with such a person? It is obvious there is no logic in his posts... We have posted and repeated so many researches that prove that Greeks are not mixed with Turks, that Greeks cluster with the rest of Europeans and have been the same people since...

I hope we will get out of this situation soon, but I see the government making mistakes on how they are handling the situation. The IMF is asking us to increase the annual income so what our government does is increasing VAT. The problem is that since they have already decreased the salaries...
