Fantastic speech by Mara

[Frank]

we despise our diaspora

Macedonians felling that way towards us I have many occasions debated on this Forum and have either been told by some to stop it, change my attitude and approach, stop the negativity or just plain get lost.

[Risto the Great]

If both Mango and Vangelovski are correct, it will be more of a case that Macedonians are too stupid to reconcile their superiority complex with the reality of Macedonia's capitulations.

I find people who appear to suffer from a superiority complex in fact are covering up many many feelings of inadequacy.

[Vangelovski]

I'll have to disagree. I would argue that, quite to the contrary, we Macedonians have a superiority complex. We think we are the people with the oldest civilization in the world, we regularly dismiss foreign opinion and/or advice and again, we despise our diaspora.

If that was the case, the Macedonian people would not have accepted the Interim Accord and the Framework Agreement with all their consequences. Nor would Macedonian leaders be acting like vassal fools, tripping over themselves to please their masters. Macedonians, and in particular their politicians, despise the diaspora because they despise the diaspora telling them the truth on the matter.

I think you missed the point of what she was saying.

Im just hypothetically guessing if this women has that much passion for her country who knows what she could do on a bigger stage like in politics.

[mango]

Corruption, treason and incompetence are part of the problem. They are accepted by the majority of Macedonians because of their slave mentality/inferiority complex.

[The LION will ROAR]

As I mention before on a another thread..
My Brother-Inlaw who's a priest in Macedonia said to me that until the older generation of Macedonians are gone from power and the young generation come in..then we might see a future for Macedonia..

[Vangelovski]

Nice video but IMHO she misses the great picture: we do not suffer because of our inferiority complex and because we are small. We suffer because of corruption, bad judiciary, treason, incompetence. We are probably the only country in the world that despises its diaspora.

Great speech, it is so true what she said "how do we expect other people to like us when we don't even like each other?" the unity among the Macedonian people is terrible and it desperately needs to change for the better. Mara has just set a new standard that all Macedonians need to achieve.

[Prolet]

Great Speech, Well Done Mara

[Big Bad Sven]

Tanya was right, Macedonia's streets are full of garbage - we cannot simply pretend the garbage does not exist and boast about our greatness, as Mara suggests. That would only lead to another equally incapacitating problem. We need to actually clean it up and stop dumping it! A changed minset put into action, not just a changed mindset.

So true, what pissed me off was seeing macedonians throwing their rubbish into lake Ohrid and also their cigarettes into Sv Naum. If we cant even respect and look after our most important and unique places then there are some serious problems.

Macedonians need a reality check and to get with the times and stop polluting and start looking after our beautiful land.

[Big Bad Sven]

She did a good job.
.... and she is quite hot. Nice combination.

hahah yeah so true mate, she is a babe

A beautiful patriotic Macedonian girl with a bit of fight in her, she's already my dream girl

[Big Bad Sven]

Wow very impressive.

Its great to see a young Macedonian so interested in Macedonian affairs and the improvement of our people and land. Macedonia needs more switched on and enthusiastic people like her.

She is a very good public speaker, talks with a lot of power and gets strait to the point.

Seeing this gives me a lot of hope about the future of Macedonia (republic).
