So what? Finding pride in your ancestry or nationality is pretty much useless. Was it your blood that was spilt? No, so don't feel proud of things that you haven't done.


Now, I hope we can continue discussing the ancestry of the Macedonians without this debate degrading to nationalistic nonsense.
Wow, I feel attacked here. I think you misunderstood what I said. i wasn't talkin' about me nor anybody else. I was giving an example, showing pretty much what you said : that because of nationalistic beheaviour of people, finding the exact origins of great figures is a tricky matter. now read twice before shouting out loud.
