Politics Balkanian disagreements.

the earth is boiling at Balkans,
the smell of sulfur before burn is expanding,
Lets hope almighty Ηφαιστος sieze his vulcan smith,
and Zeus prevent what is coming, with justice,
 
Well I said that Earth is boiling at Balkans,

but nobody notice it,

I hope this video awakens many Balkan people.



MY ANSWER IS

NO MORE DEPLETED URANIUM AT BALKANS.

Zeus and Justice???

He is the one who left the his first lover Metis: goddes of the wisdom and second justice goddess Themis. I don't think that justice or wisdom is Zeus's first priority.

What is fair to my eyes, is different to what is fair to your eyes,
and different to a third person eye,
that is why we made laws, and specialists the judges,
but the judge must bring justice with the same meter at every simmilar case,
if not, he is not a judge, he is hoax,
and do not worry,
Gods do what ever they like, and play with us,
as many judges or inspector do,
but at the end the thunder strikes,

except modern days,
cause today justice is ill, She is 'green',
but Nemesis is black ;)

The point is that everybody talking about justice-law etc. but the world is still full of cause.

As you said, laws and judges should bring justice

but,

Prometheus is chained

Baldr is Dead...

so some of us carry the crimes of others,
while other of us run free and put more weight to innocent.
but when thunder strikes, then we remember Zeus, and we all say, divine punishment.
 
drums of war start again at Balkans,
 
.... Believe me, I have at times wished I never posted that paper on the genetics of the Peloponnesus, but having done so, I had to monitor it.

I tried, as I always try, to analyze it logically, which included seeing its omissions, and tried, again, as I always do, to stop people from turning the thread into a free for all where old ethnic hatreds, propaganda, and an endless recitation of past injustices totally derailed what should have been a discussion of genetic data.

Some of our Albanian members obviously aren't happy about that. That's fine, but to turn that into accusations of racism, and to accuse me of opinions I've never expressed is way over the line. A few of our Greek members over-stepped the bounds too, and I presume they also aren't happy about it, although they've been civil. .....
I give Angela HIGH PRAISE for posting the Pelop article. It has a personal connection to me (maternal side), but beyond that, it is clearly germane to this website, and is useful for anyone wanting to be knowledgeable about that region, and broader.

If there is criticism of Angela, it is she was TOO tolerant of the Albanian nonsense on the Pelop paper. She warned a lot but only rarely took action. The result (I haven't been back in about a month - perhaps she has cleaned up some of the extraneous Albanian crap) is a thread that is tedious for serious people to get through and learn something. And, she allowed at least one post -from an 'Italian' & commenting on it hotly brought me a penalty - providing a 'quote' that was clearly exactly opposite to what the study revealed. She is forgiven though my penalty continues through March 2018. Now this situation isn't unique with Angela. Being a moderator is a thankless job, except when there is that rare jewel of insight I suppose.

Here is the broader point for which I do not have a solution. My view is that posts can get too big. And if extraneous topics, even playful ones, are included, much less venal agitprop, then the serious user will wade forever trying to get to the truth of contradictory assertions etc. Perhaps if the rule is that for a new topic, like the Pelop paper, users must post exclusively and directly on that topic for say 200 comments. "The author says THIS, but alt-author says THAT" And, one cannot repetitively cite the same author/article,etc, as if crap repeated gets any better. Okay, then on a NEW post, users can post up to 400 comments on related or tangential comments.

I saw where one post was apparently re-opened - some Macedonian thing that Albanians and FYROM idiots are ranting while swiping at the Greeks. It is over 700 comments. Should never have been re-opened. Force a new post. For any closed post there should be upfront marker that this is the case.

EDIT add-on: Ethnicity ought to be REQUIRED. And not 'citizen of the world' nonsense, but a forced choice (from a list) of 'ethnicity - primary' or 'ethnicity identified'. Plus should be a major penalty for falsifying ethnicity and country. Also, if the site tools allow, could have a suspend process where a user is given 24-48 hours to amend a comment before it is auto-deleted. Might be useful for the repetitive citation issue.

I'll end by saying - not that this has any weight - that Angela is very valuable to this site.

It's not correct to call people here idiots.
You know what is ridiculous in this situation? You Greeks call everything that has been written by the medieval chronicles, the historians, both modern and antiquity ones, as well as the international ones even the Greek ones as crap. For you there is only this latest genetic study, which has been considered full of flaws even by members of this forum. And you want to rewrite the history of Greece and the Greeks with this study? But we are talking about Greece here not one of those tribes in the Amazonia forests, we are talking about one of the best-documented countries in human history. And what about the other countries and nations? Are we going to drop to the toilet all that the historians have written until now?

P. S.
If I'm not wrong, are you suggesting censoring what people say here?
 
Well Syria war will expand for sure,either central balkans, either Cyprus/S Aegean

Field 6 of Cyprus EEZ is a casus beli from yesterday
 
Skopia have a yuge(sic) problem. Folks aren't doing well there. I wonder how much time this country can survive.
 
The trigger will not be from Syria. I do not see any reason from that. If I were to bet I would say either from Skopia, or Turkey.

BEFORE I began looking up youtube.com music videos for Greek music, the only 'Albanians' I knew of were John Belushi and his brother, Jim Belushi, both US comedians, and Orthodox Christians. AFTER I began looking up youtube.com music videos for Greek music, the only 'Albanians' I WANT to know of are John Belushi and his brother, Jim Belushi, both US comedians, and Orthodox Christians. Why? Because of the unnecessary comments made in the youtube.com videos.

It is not my position to make broad generalizations about my heritage, but I would bet that other than for Greeks living in Albania, and for Orthodox Christians living there, most Greeks don't give a tinker's damn about Albania, Albanian peoples, Albanian heritage, Albanian culture, Albanian history, Albanian music, Albanian arts, Albanian science, etc. If Enver Halil Hoxha is your hero, then God (or not) bless you. For some reason, you and a few others hate Greeks. That is perfectly normal in my experience. Hate away! Revel in in your hate! Glory in your hate! Be proud of your hate of Greeks! And in your original posts, tell all about the glories of Albania, Albanian peoples, Albanian heritage, Albanian culture, Albanian history, Albanian music, Albanian arts, Albanian science, etc. Just don't shit up the Greek sites.

Yes, Greeks, Greece, Hellas, Hellenic, Hellenistic, are big deals. There is no Europe without Greece (contrary to a CBS TV foreign affairs editor - South African born). Racism is everywhere. Plenty of other 'isms' that distort truth. Getting at truth is important to fair minded people. The Pelop study is an effort in that direction. As such it deserves serious attention. It got less than that in significant ways. Yes, there is whole lot of crap that must be waded through to get to the serious comments.

My concern is that in what is purported to be the highest level of open access dialog on genetics, and such, useless commentary, discredited authors and bogus 'authorities', and so forth, are permitted to be repetitively allowed in the posts to the point that any one with a serious interest in learning - comparing and contrasting scholarship - are put off by the endless tirade of pointless materials.

I don`t know where you see the hate in my post against the greeks. What i have noticed in the previous post, are your offensive words against Albanians and other ethnic groups. Nobody have any kind of sympathy for Enver Hoxha and communism. The problem here is not Enver Hoxha. The problem is this your idiot chauvinist ideology called MegaliIdea. Look, people have no problem if you greeks want to live in a fantasy world, dreaming about the glories of the past. The problem is when you, after a brainwashing proccess, convinced in all BS that you learn and discuss in your country and in your forums, want to give an international passport to this your chauvinistic ideology. In this moment, other people start to explain to you that this world it`s a little bit different from your dream.In my opinion,this ridiculous study is just a trial against everyone who rise any doubt against this your dream. Everyone who don`t accept as real this your dream, is identified as a idiot or, like the poor old Fallmerayer, a "blood-dripping Greek-eater". Unfortunatelly, the position of the mod in this discussion about this charade that you call a study, was not correct. In this so-called study, Fallmerayer is mentioned 17 times. Many people here don`t know what exactly this scholar said, because unfortunately the moderator of this discussion didn`t allowed this. Never heard something like this.
I was searching about an author, Richard Clogg and his A concise History of Greece.
There is something interesting in the introduction:
Early Greek nationalists looked for inspiration exclusively to the classical past. When, in the1830s, the Austrian historian J. P.Fallmerayer cast doubt on one of the founding precepts of modern Greek nationalism, namely that the modern Greeks are the lineal descendants of the ancient, he aroused outrage among the intelligentsia of the fledgeling state. The first American minister to the independent state, Charles Tuckerman, an acute observer of mid-nineteenth-century Greek society, observed that the quickest way to reduce an Athenian professor to apoplexy was to mention the name of Fallmerayer.

Now, i am a very curious person. Who is this Charles Tuckerman, and what exactly he had said?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_K._Tuckerman
From the wiki page, we learn that this gentleman is a friend of greeks. He is the author of this book:

I've figured it out! Before I give you my revelation, I'll ask you why you are obsessed about an ethnic group not your own? It is a rhetorical question. If the ancient Greeks no longer exist, what is that to 'Albanians'? It is 'Albanians' in quotes for a reason.

Here's my revelation: You, and those like you, do not hate Greeks. You hate yourself! That is it. You hate the fact that in spite of having a nearly autochthonous presence in the Balkans, the Albanian claim to fame is largely serving as lackeys and mercenaries to whichever Ottoman pasha paid more, an instance or two of being a regional pasha, and the Belushi brothers. (Brother John was a genius.) No world renowned philosophy, no world renowned literature, no enlightened democracy, no pace-setting mathematics, no colonization, no lingua franca in the eastern world, no societal takeover of the Roman world, no language of the Good News. Not for the Albanians. For the Albanians, it is just lackeys, mercenaries, a regional pasha or two, and the Belushi brothers. And the first three, those Albanians gave up their Christian faith. Oh, yeah, Enver Halil Hoxha is yours. A lot to be proud of if one's expectations are very low. I would say that if you are a southern Albanian there is a good chance you are not descended from some Albanian mythic hero, but what do you know? I do not know of any, nor do I care to know.

Excuse me, but you accuse others for hate and your posts are full of hate against your neighbors, Albanians and Macedonians.
Let me give you an advice before suffering some stroke of apoplexy. Take a plastic sword, go in front of the mirror and tell to yourself: "I am a greek. I am direct descendant of one of the members of Sacred Band of Thebes, who fought like lion against the barbarians." I am sure you will feel better after this and will also help you to believe that you are a pure greek.
P. S.
Why you insist so much with this, Enver Halil Hoxha? What's the point? For example your last president Karolos Papoulias was the son of greek general Gregorios Papoulias. This greek Gregorios was the son of an Albanian muslim named Suleiman. And this muslim Albanian Suleiman was the son of Tahir Papoulias, an Albanian officer of the Ottoman army killed by a "greek" heroe named Marko Boçari.
Don't forget the sword.

Oh man

plz,
enough with that,
except if you are a member of Golden Dawn party,
even Χρυση αυγη does spend about that any more,

once a muslim you can not leave Islam, and you know it,
 
Albanians go back to whichever religion they like or simply decide to be a nonbeliever or convert to something like protestantism or Bahai a or jedi. I have my close cousins that have gone back to catholicism, i have moderate musilm cousins and atheists. No one gives a f**k what religion you are in our families. And than there are those who are bigoted and extreme in their beliefes like in any other nation.
