Busy little beavers, aren't they?

[mdmathis6]

what are you implying...code?

ETA only operates in Spain and targets specific agendas.
All ETA agendas are contained in the Iberian peninsula. The fight with the ETA is a family fight amongst Iberians.

What happened in Spain may just heal some family wounds.

[Iberian]

You misspelled e??a?, it should be E@?a?.

How did the Mafia get into this? leave Guido out of this.

[Iberian]

great posting?

[Destro]

only if you are a Trojan.

The Greeks got the ship from Tunisia carrying explosives to Sudan a few months ago. They are doing a good job as demonstrated here again. Let's hope the informant know more than what is being reported.

I have no doubt it is muslim money at work here. After all, Muslim terrorism has been going on in this region for hundreds of years.

[tiamat]

We all know who is responsible.

Again, I am hearing NO loud cries of denunciation from Saudi, Syria, Kuwait, Egypt.....etc.

So just don't post pics of a big wooden horse!

Then everything is cool! ;-)

RE: Greeks bearing gifts

Laocoon,

I hate to break to you, but this is one of the oldest hoaxes there is. I've seen variants on this warning come through on other listservs, one involving some kind of fruit that was supposed to kill the people who ate it, and one having to do with something called the "Midas Touch." Here are a few tipoffs that this is a hoax:

1) This "Forward this message to everyone you know" crap. If it were really meant as a warning about the Greek army, why tell anyone to post it to the Phonecians, Sumerians, and Cretans?

2) Use of exclamation points. Always a giveaway.

3) It's signed "from Poseidon." Granted he's had his problems with Odysseus but he's one of their guys, isn't he? Besides, the lack of a real header with a detailed address makes me suspicious.

4) Technically speaking, there is no way for a horse to overwrite your entire city. A horse is just an animal, after all.

Next time you get a message like this, just delete it. I appreciate your concern, but once you've been around the block a couple times you'll realize how annoying this kind of stuff is.

No rest for the weary,

Hector

.....those translation websites leave allot to be desired!.....

Indeed they do.. but it's not an easy task. Try learning Greek for example. This one seems better than many I've read. Tranlating from Greek is bound to be harder than from French or Spanish, which share much structure and even many similar words with English.

[eleni121]

Again, I am hearing NO loud cries of denunciation from Saudi, Syria, Kuwait, Egypt.....etc.

You won't except for meaningless chatter. Muslims are still grieving over their loss of "Al-Andalus". I've heard the grief and visceral anger many times from their own mouths.

The terrorists and their backers who commmited yet another atrocity are considered "liberators" in their communities.

No words can describe the horror I feel for those innocent victims who died so horribly. They were victims in the 8th century and victims again. Actions to take---I can think of a few...

Gotta be hard for you to be in NY right now, too.

Gotta be hard for you to be in NY right now, too.

Of course New Yorkers (I am not from the city) who lived through the 9-11 attacks empathize closely with victims of attacks everywhere. Let me add---decent people don't have to be in or from New York to experience the pain and anger that Muslim terrorist attacks instill anywhere and any time. The anger and revulsion caused by Muslim scumbags have become more and more common since the Muslims renewed their 20th/21st century jihad.

[tiamat]

I hear you.

I was watching Fox and chatting on-line just as 9-11 happened.

I've never seen or felt anything so awful in my life.

I eventually ended up having to use Zoloft for about 6 months because I could not get the images of that day out of my head, and if i slept at all I had night-mares about it.

I didn't used to be a prejudiced person. I have a REAL problem with Islam these days, though.

[eleni121]

Let me know if any Greek language articles need translation. I have translated professionally in the past.
I won't do a book but short articles and such I'll gladly do time permitting.

[SunkenCiv]

Next step in the Balkans -- let the Serbians run wild again. The US defended the terrorists in Kosovo and Albania, and again we get a nice thank you, just as we did in Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia.

[WhiteyAppleseed]

Other than Bulgaria being an applicant to the European Union, what is the motive for this?

[dinok]

"does anyone else use the windows translation option? i assume it showed up with my most recent upgrade. I right clicked and there it was "translate this page""

I tried that and got a page full of question marks.
Good thing I read Greek...badly, but I do read it.

You guys didn't really miss much. The original in Greek is hard to follow.
