Full stop. * Because we are direct * Because we never report people who cheat * Because we always have a solution to problems, even if usually, indirect or illegal * Because we have tendencies to extremity * Because our parents do not forget that we exist when we reach 18 * Because when we want to sunbathe, we go to the beach, we don't crawl on grass or jump into fountains, or go to solariums * Because we confront every difficulty with humor * Because the Olympic games were born here * Because with our (Olympic) light, we unite the world and pass the message of peace * Because our sky is blue, not gray * Because we have the cleanest seas on the planet * Because 40% of Oxford dictionary is made up with Greek words * Because we are a poor country with very rich citizens * Because we know what "Kefi" (propensity to fun) means * Because we like to spend money and eat fish while they are still fresh * Because Homer wrote Iliad 3500 years ago and Hollywood, with all its SFX couldn't do a better job now. * Because in Greece nobody is hungry * Because in Greece nobody is homeless * Because we grow hallucigenic weed without biological engineering!! * Because our "model for life" has many curves * Because we wear sandals without socks * Because we get paid on Friday and we end up owing money by Monday morning * Because we gave the oath "freedom or death" * Because we have a small, poor country full of people with big hearts - thanks to www.myspace.com/magesticman for this list.
