Back to the crux of this: The fact remains that those of Greek decent are passionate and prideful people and if you engage them in debate they are likely to respond in an intense way. GKF does this. That is why although I dislike how he has responded to me in a nasty way at times I don't flat out hate the man.
When reading this I come to think of the "nature vs. nurture"-thing. I don't think it is a question of your genes, but a question of the cultures you origin from and the families that raise you. If you put a Greek baby in an Swedish, German, Japanese, whatever family you wouldn't have the same temper problem you speak of.
That's at least my opinion. Sorry for keeping this discussion alive. 
Damn it. Why can't I help myself.
Okay, another good post, and it is, but it kind of falls out of bounds of the current "debate" - but, also substantiates my POV all the same (like traits of like people).
I mean, I meant this all as harmless observations, and I think those that take offense are just being sheep to the PC crap we listen to these days...as there is NOTHING insensitive of my comments. I'm even talking about FRIENDS I had made in periods of time of the years...that I am commenting on. Interestingly enough I have emailed two people on this topic and am asking them to read it and give their opinions. I will see what they say and post their comments.
Maybe it will wake up Jimi and a few others who are trashing me over some very benign comments - realistic comments - and inoffensive comments (unless you WANT them to be offensive, well then, thats on YOU).
But, eh, whatever...Knicks playing well, back to them.
