At a time when Banks are squabbling over interest rates to be charged to Greece in it's debt restructuring. When the Germans are insisting that Greek loan funds are spent on purchasing their Military equipment. When Angela Merkel is casting doubt as to Greece's ability to pull out of recession.

Two French Doctors of Philosophy, Thierry Formet and Martin Steffens, have published an joint article in todays French newspaper Le Figaro, regarding Greece's 2500 year legacy to Europe.

Translated excerpts (from Typos Newspaper) include:

"Europe is after all the name of the Princess of Phoenicia."

"The Academies were named after the first Institution of knowledge, in Plato's garden Academia in Athens."

"Secondary and High Schools bear the name of that given by Aristotle in his, High School."

"Our children still today learn of Geometry and the theories of Pythagoras and Thales."

"Our Doctors are governed by the oath of Hippocrates."

"Art, Literature, Mythology, techniques of all kinds."

"The catalog of benefits we have derived from Greece is long."

"The banks have begun to threaten the lives of us all and are becoming the enemy of the people. It is time to honor our immense debt to Greece, worthy of those institutions bequeathed to us.
This debt cannot be paid in money alone."

I will just add: Philosophy, Architecture, great Medical discoveries, the tutor of Einstein, Greece's sacrifice in WW2, the Olympics and of course, Democracy itself, to that long list.

Thank you very much our Dear French Friends.

It is not important zak those who value Greece's legacy, who use democracy philosophy debate and all those things Greece has given. They also know the true value of Greece.
France has recently given an opinion on Turkish contribution to society.

But aren't we living in a society which puts a monetary value on everything?
People protect their intellectual property rights and charge fees to everyone that uses their theories.
Patents are used to protect, designs theories and ideas.
Copyrights are used to protect theatre plays films designs and publications. The courts are used for any infringements of these rights.
How much is Greece owed over these years for use of all these valu9es systems, theories and ideas the world has taken for granted
Our systems of schooling science and Arts. Even our language and thoughts.
Why should not Greece be paid by those who use its methods of schooling, mathematics, theatre, architecture and system of democracy. How many billions will be made from the Olympics this year?
Greece's legacy is a part of everyday life in the civilised world.
These French philosophers appreciate this.
It's about time Greece took its cut with interest.

Don't worry yourself, you will not have to pay a penny to Greece for use of its culture, Democracy, philosophy, or any other civilised system, since you have never used any part of it.

You just owe Greece for the use of Greek cities,and compensation for setting fire to its forests.
The Armenians for Genocide and Cyprus for ethnic cleansing murder,colonisation and theft.
You don't have to pay for use of these values as they were inventions of Turkey.

You might want to charge Germany for use of your invention.

Your obsession with Hitler is fascinating. That explains your behavior towards Turks, wishing them death, your behavior towards the president of your adoptive country, accusing him of ignorance and stupidity and your general opinion on human beings. In your little head you must think that you are smart, humane and because you are of Greek decent, the envy of the world.

You are another pathetic, hypocritical fool who very much reminds me of the killers of abortion doctors claiming they are pro life.
They kill people to protect life. They ignore the needs of born children but worry plenty of the unborn. The same with you fools. You hate living people, like your neighbors the Palestinians, suffering and dying for years and you ignore their cause and side with Israel. You ignore their plead for human rights and peace because you would rather kiss Israel's ass in search of gas. You buried your own compatriots, the TCs alive and ignored the screams of families and their children.

Cowards who are terrified of Turkey and look for ways to hurt its feelings by poking it with legislation of crimes committed during the Ottoman Empire. Turkey will always outsmart you because they look after their interests unlike you fools who waste your lives searching for vendictive ways to hurt Turkey's reputation.

STop with the crap because we all know why you support the Armenians, we all know how you operate and most importantly stop claiming civilization or intelligence. If you had any of that, you would behave like a human being and stop wishing death on innocent civilians and accusing President Obama of ignorance and stupidity. Soon you will be claiming he is also a ten year old,too stupid to understand a genius like yourself.

If you really believe that it was the Greeks who introduced homosexuality to the world then it only goes to show how limited and shallow your pool of knowledge and education really is. A thing which you obviously and constantly demonstrate by each subsequent post. In plain words, you are a douche.

Homosexuality has been part of nature even before humans ever existed. It is a common phenomenon observed in nature and it serves a greater purpose in the mechanics of the survival of the species. By "sacrificing" the procreational capabilities(or rather chances, since physically it is possible to procreate) of an individual being , that being dedicates itself to the needs of the whole, be it herd or human society.

List of animals displaying homosexual behavior: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animals_...

Where humans are concerned, the psyche overcomplicates the biological mechanism mentioned above. The psyche of each individual has both a feminine and a masculine nature, the same goes with the brain's left and right hemisphere.

The native American indians, who were considered as "savages", had the most proper and wise traditional approach to homosexuality, like almost all ancient peoples before christianity and islam.

"Native Americans have often held intersex, androgynous people, feminine males and masculine females in high respect. The most common term to define such persons today is to refer to them as "two-spirit" people, but in the past feminine males were sometimes referred to as "berdache" by early French explorers in North America, who adapted a Persian word "bardaj", meaning an intimate male friend."

"Rather than emphasising the homosexuality of these persons, however, many Native Americans focused on their spiritual gifts. American Indian traditionalists, even today, tend to see a person's basic character as a reflection of their spirit. Since everything that exists is thought to come from the spirit world, androgynous or transgender persons are seen as doubly blessed, having both the spirit of a man and the spirit of a woman. Thus, they are honoured for having two spirits, and are seen as more spiritually gifted than the typical masculine male or feminine female.

Therefore, many Native American religions, rather than stigmatising such persons, often looked to them as religious leaders and teachers. Quite similar religious traditions existed among the native peoples of Siberia and many parts of Central and southeast Asia. Since the ancestors of Native Americans migrated from Siberia over 20,000 years ago, and since reports of highly respected androgynous persons have been noted among indigenous Americans from Alaska to Chile, androgyny seems to be quite ancient among humans."

But I suppose with you being a cognitively challenged individual and simply put, a retard, this post might as well be a total waste of time.

Are you feeling rather compulsive and obsessive? Financial issues could be a problem,, especially if they appear to threaten your sense of emotional security. Don't let jealousy or envy make you do things that will set other people against you.
