I'm not really sure if I'll be able to handle the sight of the burned forest. :S Even when seeing forests that I've never walked on and just passed them by with the car, but that were burned to ashes, I couldn't stop myself from crying. How did you take it yourself? :S

i think my comments say it all. it was as if you could hear something with life inside it screaming. the fire spread rapidly like cancer at the floor of the forest. a turtle was standing like lost in the middle of the ashes. & i haven't seen the completely destroyed part yet...

it's time to stop this uglyness. we greeks fancy to say that we're children of the alexander the great (i don't agree but i want to make a point ). let's prove that we're also great. it's time to stop blaming the others or feeling sad & let's do something for our health.

totally agree but if we have the gene of pericles, sokrates, aristotle etc (as everybody claims ) then we ought to behave properly. but after all we're all b@st@rds, aren't we! now i hear that somebody put the fire...

You know though, ancient Greeks were fools themselves! They are the ones that gave konio (or however it is called in English

conium (or hemlock ) is the right word. so what you imply is that we haven't changed even though more than 2000 years have passed. what a lovely thought!

Except from the genes that are passed down from each generation to the next, which are obviously not clear Greek genes anymore after all those years under the Turks etc, there is our history, our customs, our common language and things that all of us Greeks share and pass down to our children. Those are not a small factor in what kind of a human someone will grow into. The genes fade after 7 generations, but the customs never do as long as there are humans to keep them alive.
