σχόλιο ενός Αντρέα .........
"Hey...
I am a public service worker (albeit unfortunately not permanent, which is a pity, cause it kind of sucks not to have a steady job), and I'm not a thief, although I can't exactly blame people who "steal" because they can't survive otherwise. I don't drink ouzo (the french "pastis" neither actually, because I can't stand the smell of aniseed and I can't stand whisky either, because I got really drunk when I was 17 and threw up like hell, pretty nasty scene, you should have been there!), break plates (cause what's the point!!!???!!! who the fuck does that since, like, the 50's???!!!???) but I occasionaly do say "opa" in my daily life when I trip on a rock while walking or when I make an error. Oh, and I do know a few Giorgos, Giannis, and Nikos from Greece, and apart from the ones I know well I'm not at all sure the others are really really nice, cause for all I know they might be fascist assholes chasing immigrants, beating up their wives or be bosses exploiting other people, but then there must certainly also be nice people with these names that I don't know. My country (well, where I was born basically) is supposed to be a democracy, although this is not really true. Actually, despite what you might hear here and there, there have been much more democratic societies a long time ago, before our world was divided into classes, but let's say that what is today called "democracy" indeed draws some elements from what existed mainly in ancient Athens (and not Greece in general you illiterate moron, let aside the existence of slaves, next thing you'll tell us that Alexander the great was a democrat!).
I speak greek and 3 other languages (well, ok, my german is pretty basic, but then I do have some understanding of Italian and Spanish) and indeed many people from greece speak some foreign languages, as do the portuguese (I speak out of personal experience, they're pretty amazing!). I could certainly sew my country's flag on my backpack, because I've been living alone since some time so I had to learn some sewing (it's actually really useful, you can repair your favourite clothes and wear them as if nothing ever happened!) but I don't see any point in that and honestly I can't say much more on this point, because I don't really see the point in advertising where I was born. "It invented the west"???? What kind of crap do you have in your head???? I can't even ridicule this kind of shit!!! I don't even understand the meaning of "hellenism", so I'll also skip this phrase.
We already said that the "democratic" system of the western world aspires to some elements of the state organization in ancient Athens, let's not repeat ourselves. I don't owe anyone any money today, neither does the vast majority of the population of the earth, if anything the banks and our bosses all owe money to all of us. The meaning of "Agora", you IDIOT, is COMPLETELY different than "free market"! You're supposed to speak the freakin' laguage, what are you, a moron??? And if you can critique me today, it is because people in the past gave their lives fighting against the various forms of oppression (many of which survive today).
(Here it's not that bad actually, let's use the original

I believe in freedom, so I protest (although I'm pretty sure you swear when the center of Athens is closed because some people are actually fighting for their rights). I believe in the joy of life, I have the right to, there's nothing wrong with that (oh shit, it's getting awful again, here comes the crap...). I can swim in the waters of over 6000 islands, including Sardenia and Corsica, because I took some swimming lessons when I was about 6, that really paid off! Greece is quite pretty indeed, the weather's nice and all and there are interesting places to visit, although I'd also really like to visit India, China, Cuba and so on and my family is not sacred at all, but I do love them a lot indeed (and that's all I'll say cause it's none of your business knowing more!).
You call me "greek", indeed that's kind of different than the greek word (which is ellinas - ellinida for women) but then, if you asked me at work if I'm "hellene", I think I'd not understand and kindly ask you to repeat (this actualy concerns you calling me "heleeene", there's the alternative of actually pronouncing it like the name "Helen", a case in which I'd probably just tell you that I'm not called Helen. For the history, for all I'm concerned you might as well call me "Susan" as long as we understand each other).
My name is Andreas and I am... Shit, I can't think of sth funny to end this, anyhow, I basically can't even believe I sat down to do this, but ok, I can't stand this sort of crap, we all have our obsessions!
Thank you, thank you...
PS: Had a good laugh? I sure hope so! Aaahhh, how nice, I crack myself up...! Now think of the 20% Marine LePen got in the french elections..."
