Finde den Beitrag von Fabien so nett, dass er ein eigenes Thema verdient!!! (über einige Dinge lässt sich natürlich streiten.............!!)
Why Am I proud to be Greek.
- Because we are European Champions in Soccer
- Because we are European Champions in Basketball
- Because Paparizou (singer) made us Eurovision
Champions - Because we buy whole watermelons and not in slices
- Because we buy whole lambs and not in pieces
- Because when we buy feta we buy at least a kilo and
not 150gr. - Because nights in Greece finish in the morning
- Because we take our coffee slowly and not in `shots"
- Because flirting is our national hobby
- Because we are world champions in sex
- Because we always moan about the public sector and
everyone seeks to get a job in it - Because we go out almost every night even if we are
penniless - Beacuse we respect our Grandmothers more than our
wives - Because we know how to spend better than we know how
to save - Because although we look like we are of Middle
Eastern Descent we are not - Because we never visit others empty-handed
- Because there is no way to explain to foreigners
what "kapsoura" is... (burning desire for someone) - Because we do not share the cost of petrol with
those we take in our cars - Because we always make it, albeit in the last moment
- Because for the sake of a woman we would wage war
for 10 years (Trojan war) - Because we are everywhere around the planet
- Because we love and hate with passion
- Because the word "filotimo" (a synonym of honor,
helping someone because it is the right thing to do)
doesn`t exist in any other language - Because whenever foreigners cannot find a word, they
bloody steal one of ours - Because we spend our bad and low times with our
friends and family, not with therapists and
counsellors - Because Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle were Hellenic
and we still quote from them - Because we invented theatre
- Because we gave birth to Democracy
- Because we discovered logic
- Because we jumpstarted science
- Because we are proud of our culture, not of our wars
- Because Jesus Christ`s best friends where Greek`s
- Because when others were discovering meat, we already
had cholesterol - Because when we were building the Parthenon, the
others were still sleeping under trees - Because when others created wars, we created Games
to stop wars - Because we have a distinction between Eros (falling
in love) & Agapi (innocent love), while we feel both
passionately - Because it took me 10 minutes to explain to
foreigners what "Ethos" means - Because we don`t use ketchup or mayonnaise with
our food - it tastes damn good anyway! - Because we tossed our ancient alphabet to the Romans
and our medieval alphabet to the Slavs - Because we get angry quickly but forget all about it
even quicker - Because we are not ashamed to cry
- Because we dance when we are sad and party when we
are happy - Because we work to live and we do not live to work
- Because 97% of the stars` names are Hellenic
- Because we always talk about getting in a diet after
we had our meal - Because a woman with a big arse is just as sexy as
the woman with the small one - Because although we know danger well, we dare
- Because when you shout "brother" in the streets,
everyone turns around - Because "Greeks do not fight like heroes, heroes fight
like Greeks" (Winston Churchill, 1941) - Because we speak loudly and laugh even louder!!!
