lol? Greece is one of the world's worst jokes when it comes to thinking. They were great once 2000 years ago. Now they're lazy, corrupt, produce little of worth, and to drive the dagger home, have an unhealthy dose of unearned pride, which conspires to stop them fixing their manifest errors and incapacities. Greece needs more American thinking and less Greek thinking, not the other way around. For real.

Not sure if it's the Greek/German thing or if he's just uncomfortable with women having considerable professional accomplishments.

In there you will see exactly why the version of Christianity experienced in Greece in the right family is one of the most profoundly loving experiences a young person can have. It proves very friendly to science and rational thinking. It promotes endless confidence in the power of the individual human spirit.

My upbringing makes me more Christian (without believing in all but the basic principles that secure a place for love in your heart for your fellow human beings), more Greek, more internationalist, more pro mankind, more pro science and more American than most people in all these categories.

You do not know what you are missing and that includes most Greeks too sadly... I can die this very moment and declare thank you to the universe for all this that happened exactly that way.


One of these days you may finally realize and many others what exactly is the true value of having had exactly my kind of upbringing in one of the most amazing cultures and families a person can ever hope. If my kind of science ever makes it to describe nature the right way it will be only because of that upbringing.

I can be thousands of miles away from Greece and be even more Greek than ever before and even more American at the same time than most here.

In my kind of America your 2 world trade center towers are now standing higher, more brilliant and beautiful than before in the same place and they have the victims' memorial at the top up there in the sky, higher than all that is no more ever stood, giving barbarians a new target. This is the kind of America you are all missing. There is no Iraq war in that storyline. Only the kind of victory that everyone can see in your skyline. That was the America that went to the moon and can still be reclaimed with a little bit more Greek values in your thinking. Merkel cannot even come anywhere near that in her thinking precisely because of her different upbringing. She lacks the imagination for a better Europe and even a better Germany in that Europe because in ethical unity there is more ultimate strength.
The problem you are failing to see is that, if you just change the details to fit their lives, most people in the entire history of the world feel exactly the same way.

I like the part where he claims the Greeks would never get involved in endless wars in the Middle-East.

What's Pittsburgh's legacy to the world, other than Jonas Salk, Mister Rogers and the Banana Split?

Where I can meet Taylor Swift so that I can become her next 3 month boyfriend.
Failing that, winning Powerball numbers, tia.

Apparently you are a piece of $hit racist arent you if this is how you see me or the people there in general given the bs of recent politics there?

Jokes?

Then how do you explain the rank 12 in recent International Math Olympics especially given the small population and above all other EU countries (UK is out lol)

https://www.imo-official.org/year_co...aspx?year=2017

Merkel Credentials lol.

Are you even sure Merkel remembers how to do Calculus 3 (just for fun lol) or even understands General Relativity? Can she solve some interesting Geometry problems even? I dont think that this is what happens and you then go to politics the way she did in the place she did it.

Look how you even talked about the people in a lecture at Stanford. Wow what pathetic way to describe people that may not be "beautiful" looking. Is that how serious people judge others?

How did you arrive at that by the way? Is that some new age logic in work?

Didnt i say she has done a better job that most recent US presidents for her people? Are you so troll hood committed in spewing imaginary insults?

You said her objectively impressive credentials were a joke simply because she happened to have been born in Eastern Germany. It's an amazing display of cultural chauvinism and bigotry.

I'm sure she's rusty but otherwise quite competent.

At a basic level, yes. Quantum chemists don't normally study relativity theory in much detail (odd you aren't aware of this?).

And by the way i really didnt want to see myself calling you that but the last 2 times you spoke of groups of people are similar to how racists speak about others in a generalized group sense.

My history in this board is definitely not one in line with the way you described people of my original country or the anticipation of my educational depth. I have 2 countries i have lived by the way and i care for both systems.

It is relevant if you wanted to compare as someone decided to do. I only responded to such baseless comparisons of different fields with what seems very plausible given her recent years lack of imagination about doing things much better which definitely a deeper mathematical and theoretical background education makes a lot more likely. I have taken quantum chemistry though if you want to take things there and can still do just fine perturbation theory in such systems.


I never said her credentials are a joke by the way. Wtf is going on with you? Are you serious? Where did you read that? Making things up again as always.


All i said was about communism. It doesnt mean that you dont get great people born inside communist systems, of course not. They are compromised in my experience though by a perverse pressure in such systems for cynicism and not clean ethically opportunistic behavior when taken away from communism in new opportunities. That is because so much has been taken from them early on. This is a criticism for what communism does to people not the people intrinsically. They could recover of course. It destroys the spirit and kills optimism. It destroys also family structure. Again study sex industry in all these countries. Merkel is not at all an optimistic creative or ethical person the way she has behaved very often and her finance minister Wolfgang Schäuble is even worse.They have undermined European unification.

Again this is not a criticism for people from such countries. I will refuse to anticipate anything like that from them met randomly and only confirm/enhance my observations if they prove them right. I was only referring to the claim her upbringing was so great.

Pittsburgh has never gone to war with Turkey, because even our mentally disabled people are far too wise to do such a thing and even our least bright citizen would have brokered a peaceful resolution. The rolling hills and rivers surrounding our fair city are filled with diverse wildlife because we listened to the first daughter of our city, Rachel Carson. Our universities and museums are world-class in both the arts (Point Park University) and the sciences (Carnegie University) because of our great benefactor, Andrew Carnegie. We have renowned literary geniuses such as August Wilson. We have more bars per capita than any other region in the mighty US of A. We have more bridges than the sad swampland known as Venice. We have, as has been mentioned, the great humanist known as Mr. Rogers. Michael Keaton ("I'm Batman") is from Pittsburgh. ****ing Mike Ditka is a product of Pittsburgh and he managed to conquer Chicago without any blood being spilled. Joe Montana? From Pittsburgh. Joe Namath? From Pittsburgh. We are so kind that we allow people turning left to go first when the light goes green! We make the Boy Scouts seem like douchebags and we don't expect a ****ing patch for acting like a ****ing human being.

We also produced more steel during WWII than all of the Axis powers combined. If it weren't for us, the rest of you would be speaking German. Kind and still ****ing won the ****ing war for you weak-spirited lot.*

I've grown tired, but if you wish, I can add more evidence of the superiority of the Pittsburgher to the rest of humanity once I have rested.

I'm approximately 2000x times more suitable to understand the world and what it really needs from a leader as you (and the rest of you pretenders to the throne) are because I ****ing am Pittsburgh.

*not to disparage the Brits. You all can take carpet bombing on the chin and still stand somewhat upright.

No i dont. This is the new generation. The one that can still give the finger to crisis. Good luck to them in a dirty world that is worth fighting for though.

There is only one reason to leave Greece. Because the planet is more important. But your heart will never leave it. To be Greek is to love the planet first and all mankind and expect the best from it. This is what i was taught by my experience.
