#1 Someone needs to have a heart-to-heart talk with the Greeks. Worked up about the name? Ridiculous.

#2 Guess what the reply would be to the patrons in Mexico City if they whined about one of the states of the U.S. named New Mexico.

#4 Ok they let the Greek have that cheese name (Feta was it?), so let the Macedonians call themselves Macedonians. Itâs not they are going to move the border fence and swallow up the Greek Macedonia province. Greregum Phomong6307 Hit the nail on the head with the Mexico/New Mexico analogy. Maybe the Greeks can name the Province Kato' Macedonia? It basically means "Down Macedonia". Aris, just being helpful not spiteful and please correct my translation if wrong.

#6 Someone needs to have a heart-to-heart talk with the Greeks.

Like having a heart-to-heart talk with he who shall not be named? Get real. There's a reason why they're the bottom of the Balkans.
