If it weren't for the Greeks, there would not be this argument over who is Macedonian and who is Greek.

If it weren't for the Greeks...

... the 2004 Olympics would undoubtedly become a stunningly well-organized, secure and memorable sports event. Everything finished on time, public transports and housing of the highest standard, and the organizers prepared for every eventuality during the games.

I doubt anyone cares. I personally will strive to be at the islands at the time. Wouldn't want to have a bomb on my head in the best case scenario or die of frustration in my car at the worst case.

As far as I am concerned the Olympics have been ****ed up since they were again born in a modern version by the frenchies and the greckos in Athens. Dope, multinationals and girls with clits as big as a penis from all the steroids. There's nothing of the ancient Greek ideals in modern Olympics.

As for Greece taking up the Olympics? What for? What has happened is that it was an excellent opportunity for foreign companies to grasp a huge amount of the Greek GDP for "providing security" (lol) and a good deal of the international press (mainly american and australian - but the latter simply because of small penis syndromes) writing bad reviews untill their multinationals grabbed the security contracts and then everything is great. Nice show monkeys, for all sides involved. (that means "us" "you" "them" and the little furry dragon)
On the internal front, a power whore has basically hijacked the Olympics, has the government doing bows in front of her, has all her lackeys getting paid millions and then asks for volunteers? Greece is the smallest and most weak financially country to ever get the Olympics. What for? To prove that we are Greeks? Come on... It was a great profeteering adventure for those who planned it. Well enjoy it and I'll be enjoying my frape at the seaside checking the babes out. Maybe I'll even make some records of my own

Oh, Greeks!!! I thought it said Geeks.

Still, same thing. Only geeks would bother organizing large sporting events and creating games with an insane amount of rules... Such as all the games I watch.

bah! it was the aztecs that came up with games like basketball. And from those games came other ball games created by americans like american football. And that is the best sport of all. The greeks had nothing to do with that.

Ummm... I believe it was the Mayan's who first played basketball, not the Aztecs. I could be wrong, but when I was down on the Yucatan last summer that's what I was told.

They still play it down there, it's odd to see.

I talked to a local at a bar one night who plays it for the tourist to watch and he told me plenty of horror stories. I think there were about 2 deaths and 12 injuries since he has been playing, and he had only been playing for about a year! And the injuries were awful, shattered hips, missing eyes, etc... Told me that when he first started he couldn't sleep on his sides for weeks.

The Greeks didn't do **** for the modern Olympics. If it hadn't been for the ancient Greeks the name would simply have been different. It was a Frenchman who started the modern Olympics.
