Sewage baby, for sure hehehe...I love cuddling..:biggrin:
Bowyn I'll elaborate..
Macedonia as a geographical region was colonized by greeks, in their good years before the Lord Jesus Christ allmighty. Alexander the Great took this little realm of greek macedonians and turned it into his big ass empire...in the middle ages slavs came to the balkans, and their states take up much of macedonia currently, with a bit of it remaining in the Greek state. It was all good when Greece bordered Yugoslavia, but then the slavs within the macedonian region separated themselves from the government in Belgrade and took the name of Macedonia...Greeks feel that taking up the name of a greek historical region to call a slavic country is offensive at the least...so, they roared and roared and currently the UN has Macedonia under the name of Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (F.Y.R.O.M) No one is to call the country as plainly Macedonia (although everyone does it for simplicity off the record, in official documents, you have to put FYROM )...so this has the Greeks somewhat calmed..
Now that knowledge has been bestowed upon thee, should FYROM remain as FYROM or do we piss off Greeks by officialy dubbing them as Macedonia?
