ok, ok Buktop. You don't want to touch on what Meto said. You might be in shock and disbelief aswell.

Let me ask you something else in all seriousness.

Where do you stand on this negotiation issue?
Should we stop these negotiations?

To tell you the truth, I don't believe you can call what we are doing "negotiations". Talking isn't really detrimental when you consider the current administration knows they will be assassinated if they go through with any sort of name change. That's what I call "checks and balances"

So your answer is keep this charade going and you disagree with the AMHRC/MHRMI initiation backed by every Macedonian except those UMD supporters?

[Bij]

Immigrants or emigrants?

No offense, but don't put words in my mouth.

Like I inferred in my previous post (in case you didn't read it), "there are many paths to the top of the mountain, but the view is always the same"

When you don't give a direct answer, people are going to read into your response as avoiding admiting something that is against the main stream.

Just a yes or no answer which is nothing but a personal opinion which i will respect.

Should we stop the negotiations

YES
NO

YES
NO

A yes or no answer is only deserved when considering a simple issue. I gave you an answer, you misinterpreted it, and I responded.

If you don't understand my answer, then you do not understand a great deal about the issue of which you are arguing.

[Soldier of Macedon]

Though I would usually be able to offer you an answer, I will decline and refer you to my previous post.

I expected as much, so much for your signature:

"I'm happy to answer any question and I don't hide from that"

[Bill77]

Why would you be against the majority of Macedonians that want this bullshit charade to end?

Why is defending Meto more important than our history and future?

Don't you have a mind of your own rather than waiting for Meto to announce the negotiations should end and jump on board with the Main stream views?

We have ethnic Serbs living in ROM calling for halt to the negotiations and we should never negotiate our name. How can they be more patriotic than Meto and yourself?

[Bij]

Can someone answer my question?

[Bratot]

Can someone answer my question?

Immigrant = doselenik

Emigrant = iselenik

What was your point about?

Immigrant is a person who migrates to another country, usually for permanent residence.

Emigrant is a person who emigrates, as from his or her native country or region.

No point, I was asking. Thanks

Скопје, 16 август 2010 (МИА) - Не сме дел од кампањата на иселениците кои неодамна побараа прекин на преговорите со Грција, но сметаме дека името на Република Македонија е Република Македонија и ние го поддржуваме тоа име, изјави Мето Коловски, претседател на Обединетата македонска дијаспора (ОМД), иселеничка организација од САД кој предводи делегација од 18 советници на американски конгресмени.

Taken from maknews...I guess this is the Macedonian original version, so he apparently used the word emigrant and not immigrant, Bij. And yes emigrant, for some reason, sounds a bit better to my ears. (And now I am just waiting for my own personal forum-groupie to tell me to stay the hell out of internal Macedonian matters;o))

[Soldier of Macedon]

Your objective comment is welcome, just don't get too stuck into it

[slovenec zrinski]

I am actually not going to comment much about it at all as the issue about UMD is a real hornets nest that one should do the best staying out of
I do have my opinion (of course) but it is better to sit on the fence and watch this unfold to its bitter end
