[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 5239856, member: 2844"]I agree, that is part of the reason why we have the current situation, and it is very worrying. But that is also a result of isolation, as well as centuries old frustration over not feeling accepted by Central and Western Europe. They want revenge, which is always wrong, and will backfire. I noticed that with Greeks here and in Australia as well, and some Italians have it too. They forget that terms like Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome refer to a time long ago, not to their present day achievements.:playful: It is also based on faulty historic records, and lack of real knowedge of what was going on outside their boundaries. Your own country, for instance, has a history that is just as impressive, as does Western Europe. Beautiful culture and intellectual achievements from all over the world are there for anyone to see, but only if they are willing to take off their cultural blinkers.;)[/QUOTE]
