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!!!
WHAT MORE IS THERE TO SAY........GAMOTO!!!
