Yes, I am a Serbophobe, however it is a fear phobia not a hate phobia. I fear Serbs because I see one thing they have plenty of, grudges. They have a grudge against Albanians, a grudge against Croats, a grudge against Bosnians, a grudge against Slovenes, and Montenegrins, and Macedonians, and they have a grudge against the U.S. and the West. I fear that these grudges will not go away,

Don't mess with them, they won't mess with you. That's the history of the Serbs. If you were really Albanian Orthodox, you'd have nothing to fear because even the most sociopathic Serbs don't hold a grudge against Orthodox Albanians. My guess is that you're a Catholic Albanian poser.

The gripe against Serbs isn't their innate aggresiveness, it's their seemingly involuntary and far too passionate overraction to being what they consider to be "assaulted". Stomp on a Serb's foot and they'll beat you to death with a 2x4. That is their biggest fault.

While neither me nor my family has harmed any other ethnic group at the same time we've been slaughtered at the hands of them, I don't have any "phobia" of them and have been taught to respect all people. I'm not supposed to fear them even though I personally have been subjected to hate from other Balkan ethnicities that is parralled only by the Jews of Europe during Nazi occupation or African-Americans in the front yard of Klansmen.

It's time you took the high road and disgarded your racist and superficial "phobias" (unless that truly IS an Albanian trait and I'm giving you much too much credit).

>>> Next you're gonna tell me that the Jews had it coming or the Holocaust was exagerated too, right?

Anybody with any sense can see past your romanticizing of hatred, and see where this is going. I'm sorry if the story you mentioned is true, but you dismiss the suffering of others so easliy, it is hard for me to sympathize with you. Maybe you should learn from Kosova's president, Ibrahim Rugova. His family was also killed at the hand of Serbs, but instead of talking about revenge and hatred, he decided that the only thing that could stop the bloodshed was peace and nonviolence( http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/special_report/1998/kosovo/110821.stm ). I cannot say that put in his position I would have done the same, but his Ghandhian approach was what kept the Kosovars from revolting for the better part of a decade, and was what probably won the support of the international community.
Hopefully one of these days Serbs will wake up and realize how deeply they have been indoctrinated and brainwashed, but I am not going to be holding my breath, if the last decade didn't do it, I am afraid nothing will.

And quite frankly it shouldn't make any difference whether I am Catholic or Orthodox, the only people who are interested in such differences are Serbs, because guess what, they have a grudge against Catholics as well. But I am Orthodox Albanian (my father's side of the family is all Orthodox, my mother's is Catholic, and everybody is 100% Albanian) and I feel no loyalty to you for the sole fact that we worship at the same church. My faith is not some football team, it is my personal relationship with the Almighty.

My phobia is not toward a race, it is toward a people I feel to be deeply indoctrinated with hate. My fear of Serbs is similar to my fear of Saudis. I fear them not because of who they are, but because of what they have been brought up to think and to believe.
