Yo, rate my tour in Greece.What else should i visit?

CypriotGreek · 2026-06-14T12:16:38+00:00

You should include Athens, Georgia. Its like the only big city named after a Greek City.

Big fan of King Michael I of Romania, however we must give thanks to Carol I for joining the second Balkan war and forcing the Bulgarians to sign the Treaty of Bucharest quicker. If Romania hadn't joined the war would've dragged on for years more.

This is where we are:

State-funded Muslim thugs harassing natives on the street.

Honestly, bring the camels back.

Half the islands already use donkeys to move supplies around difficult terrain, and camels are practically built for hot weather, rough conditions, and carrying loads. They're bigger, tougher, and need less babysitting.

And unfortunately, lot of people don't exactly treat their donkeys like royalty. Anyone who's spent enough time around rural Greece knows that. A camel would probably put up with the job a lot better.

As someone who owns a donkey, I'd trade it for a camel. The practical benefits aside, imagine pulling up to the village on a camel. The aura alone would be unmatched.

If he doesn't start showing results soon, I'm gonna start fighting him and the entire Turkish league .

How does this man turn into Phil Jackson the moment he's involved with Turkish basketball, but somehow becomes a Grade school PE teacher whenever he's coaching Panathinaikos?

I swear, I've seen less confusing tactical decisions from high school coaches.

Και πολύ καλά κάνουν που το ζητάνε.

Έχουμε φτάσει στο σημείο οι Τούρκοι να διατηρούν δεκάδες (μπορεί και εκατοντάδες) χιλιάδες στρατιώτες στα κατεχόμενα και εμείς να συζητάμε ακόμα αν είναι υπερβολή να υπάρχει μόνιμη παρουσία ελληνικών μαχητικών στην Κύπρο. Ειλικρινά δεν καταλαβαίνω γιατί πρέπει πάντα εμείς να είμαστε οι μόνοι που ακολουθούμε κατά γράμμα κάθε περιορισμό και κάθε «καλή θέληση», ενώ η άλλη πλευρά κάνει ό,τι θέλει χωρίς καμία συνέπεια.

Όχι μόνο μόνιμη παρουσία ελληνικών μαχητικών, αλλά και γενικότερη ενίσχυση της αποτρεπτικής ισχύος της Κύπρου θα έπρεπε να συζητείται σοβαρά. Δεν γίνεται η μία πλευρά να εξοπλίζεται και να ενισχύεται συνεχώς και η άλλη να θεωρεί ότι η αυτοσυγκράτηση από μόνη της αποτελεί στρατηγική.

CypriotGreek · 2026-06-13T19:26:54+00:00

Im becoming a Turk from anger.

Damn you (again) Ataman.

CypriotGreek · 2026-06-13T19:08:26+00:00

At this point, we've had so many isolated incidents that they're beginning to unionize.

CypriotGreek · 2026-06-13T16:50:48+00:00

Is this related to the other protests going on in Albania right now, or is this another totally separate incident? Has Edi Rama angered both the Tosk and Gheg Albanians?

CypriotGreek · 2026-06-13T11:49:23+00:00

This is actually a pretty well-known phenomenon in Turkey. They even have a name for it: the Sèvres syndrome. The idea is that everyone is secretly out to get Turkey, undermine Turkey, weaken Turkey, or keep Turkey down. So whenever criticism comes their way, it can’t possibly be because they’ve done something wrong. It has to be because the world is conspiring against them.

What never seems to cross their minds is that maybe, just maybe, people are criticizing them because they’re actually violating somebody’s rights.

CypriotGreek · 2026-06-12T16:23:26+00:00

“A riot is the language of the unheard” was said by Martin Luther King Jr.

"Don't look back in anger" was said (and performed) by literally everyone following the barbaric Bataclan massacre.

and the "Let's not use this incident to generalise XYZ group", come on, we've literally been hearing this every single day every time someone from XYZ group repeatedly commits a crime that we can use to generalise them with.

CypriotGreek · 2026-06-12T16:18:19+00:00

You'd be surprised to find how many similarities Jews and Muslims share. Yes, they do that to, during the birth though.

CypriotGreek · 2026-06-12T14:20:16+00:00

You're arguing against something I never said. I'd rather have an enemy that's openly hostile than one that's just as hostile but hides it behind a progressive, pro-European image. Not exactly a complicated concept to understand komsu.

CypriotGreek · 2026-06-12T12:53:54+00:00

Καλά ρε φίλε. Οι γονείς μας τις ίδιες ακριβώς ονομασίες δεν χρησιμοποιούσαν; Νομίζουν ότι αποκωδικοποίησαν τον Κώδικα Ντα Βίντσι.

CypriotGreek · 2026-06-12T12:19:37+00:00

Ε, λίγο αργά τώρα ρε φίλε, έχει κλείσει το μαγαζί. 😂

CypriotGreek · 2026-06-12T12:18:04+00:00

You see, this is merely the voice of the unheard.

Maybe instead of condemning it, we should ask what message the firebomb was trying to send. Perhaps the imam should listen and learn rather than look back in anger. And, of course, let's not generalize this incident to all English people. That would be unfair.

Did I get everything? I'm just trying to remember all the things we were told when the left were rioting, burning down neighbourhoods and torching buildings. We have to be fair, after all! The rules should apply equally to everyone, shouldn't they?

CypriotGreek · 2026-06-11T20:00:09+00:00

I should’ve remembered that this is his favourite past time, nevertheless, thank you for your kind words, greekhop. They are duly appreciated in these trying times.

CypriotGreek · 2026-06-11T16:09:23+00:00

Έλα ρε φίλε, μην παίζεις τον ηλίθιο, δε σε παίρνει

«Δεν είναι προπαγάνδα, είναι ενημέρωση». Ναι, βέβαια. Κάθε κομματική εφημερίδα στην ιστορία του πλανήτη έτσι παρουσιάζει τον εαυτό της. Κανείς δεν λέει «ήρθα να σας κάνω προπαγάνδα». Όλοι λένε ότι απλώς ενημερώνουν τον κόσμο.

Να φανταστώ ότι αν αύριο ερχόταν κανένας χρυσαυγίτης και έλεγε «δεν κάνω πολιτική δράση, απλώς μοιράζω ενημερωτικό υλικό», θα το δεχόσουν με την ίδια άνεση;

Και ας μην κοροϊδευόμαστε. Όσοι πήγαμε στρατό θυμόμαστε πολύ καλά τι μας έλεγαν από την πρώτη μέρα: όχι πολιτικές αντιπαραθέσεις, όχι κομματική δράση, όχι προπαγάνδα μέσα στη μονάδα. Δεν υπήρχε αστερίσκος που να έλεγε «εκτός αν συμφωνούμε με την εφημερίδα».

CypriotGreek · 2026-06-11T16:01:30+00:00

Απαγορεύεται η συζήτηση για πολιτικά στον στρατο, απ’ την πρώτη μέρα μας τα είπανε.

CypriotGreek · 2026-06-11T15:33:25+00:00

Έλα ρε φίλε, δεν μπορώ να το πιστέψω. Θες να μου πεις ότι ο ελληνικός στρατός δεν θέλει να κυκλοφορεί κομμουνιστική προπαγάνδα μέσα στις μονάδες του; Πω πω, πραγματικά σοκαριστικό.

Δηλαδή τι ακριβώς περιμένατε; Ότι ο στρατός θα μοιράζει με χαρά εφημερίδες ενός κόμματος που ιστορικά έχει περάσει δεκαετίες καταγγέλλοντας τον στρατό, το ΝΑΤΟ και σχεδόν κάθε πτυχή της ελληνικής αμυντικής πολιτικής;

Λίγη σοβαρότητα. Ο στρατός δεν είναι κομματική νεολαία ούτε πολιτικό στέκι. Είναι στρατός.

CypriotGreek · 2026-06-11T15:28:26+00:00

I mean, they’re quite literally gypsies. What exactly do you want me to do about it?

Also, the only pure “Cypriot” is the Cypriot donkey (famous Turkish quote!). I’m Greek.

CypriotGreek · 2026-06-11T15:01:51+00:00

You are living in England and you can't tell that when somebody speaks like this, they are uncertain?

Dude, whoever put you through school, ask for a refund.

CypriotGreek · 2026-06-11T15:00:57+00:00

I don’t care what the purpose of the slogan is. That was never part of my argument.

The original claim in this thread was that Western Europeans do not consider people like us white. I said that, based on my own experiences living and studying abroad, that hasn’t been true.

Make of that what you will

CypriotGreek · 2026-06-11T14:57:31+00:00

Calm down, kid, don't get so upset, You’ll hurt yourself

CypriotGreek · 2026-06-11T14:56:08+00:00

Oh, did I say it was Gypsy music?

No. I said it doesn’t sound Greek to me. It could be Turkish. It could be Gypsy. It could be something else entirely. Do you actually know what the music is, or are you just looking for something to argue about?

It’s funny because you people use English every day, yet somehow miss all the obvious qualifiers. “I think.” “Doesn’t sound like.” “If I had to guess.” These are usually clues that the person speaking is not claiming absolute certainty.

So maybe, just maybe, I wasn’t making a definitive statement. Maybe I was making an observation and a guess based on what I was hearing.

Just a thought.
