[quote:Nick the Greek 18692266:MV8xMDI4NTA1XzMyMDAwMTM1XzkyNDJERDI4] Actually, FYRoM was never a part of Alexander the Greats ancient-Greek Kingdom of Macedon...the Macedonian-name was simply applied to an extended and enlarged latin-Roman administered geographic-region, centuries after Alexanders death. The Slavic speaking peoples of FYRoM have no right to use that Greek-Hellenic name to describe their new Slavic country, nationality, language and ethnicity. FYRoM's ex-Yugoslavs want to use a Greek-Hellenic name to describe themselves ethnically and racially, culturally and linguistically, when in reality they have no real or earthly connections to the ancient-lands where Alexander the Great was born...and that is a fact. It's not enough for the Slavic speaking peoples of FYRoM to base their much covetted Macedonian-Identity on an acquired name centuries after it was first used by the Greeks. Just because a bunch of exogenous nomadic wanderers trekked on Imperial Greco-Roman soil and decided to settle in the Byzantine Eastern-Roman Empire at the top-end of the 6th Centuty AD, where they set-up camp pitched their tents, piss on the grass and called it home...does not make them Macedonians. It's not enough for the Slavs of FYRoM to base their Identity on an acquired name...speacially as that name was acquired long after it was first used by the Greeks. Macedonians have always been Greeks and Greeks have always lived in Macedonia. FYRoM should show some respect to the peoples that still use that ancient and archaic, regional-tribal Greek-Hellenic name. Macedonians are Northern-Greeks Not Southern-Slavs...Go tell the ex-Yugoslavs of FYRoM! [/quote]
