Thanks for the update BigMak

Vangelovski, Ordan Andreevski is in charge and he has done a good job so far, i remember asking you what you thought was best for the UMD to be effective in Australia and you told me they should stick to fund raising, how come you dont agree with them opening up an office in Canberra? How do you expect them to lobby with the MP's?? Metodija raised a good point that we should be focusing on Australia recognizing our constitutional name, if they can do it in Canada and USA why cant we do it in New Zealand and Australia??

Prolet,

Are you from Melbourne?

I said UMD should stick to CHARITABLE fund-raising...and leave political issues to those capable of taking a patriotic stand.

What role did Meto have in the US and Canadian recognition of Macedonia's name again?

[Prolet]

Osiris, i never said that it was because of the UMD that we got name recognition in North America. Do you support the UMD opening up an office in Canberra to tackle the name issue?

[Vangelovski]

Prolet,

I think its safe to say that 99 per cent of the members here do not support UMD fullstop. Are you playing some sort of a game or do you seriously have gold-fish syndrome?

Proletche, you never cease to amaze me.

In an ideal world, they would only be geographic identifiers, but, this is actually a serious issue that needs to be addressed and overcome.

Vangelovski, Why are you putting all your hate towards the UMD on me? You dont like the UMD thats fine, its your choice but dont pin this down on me. I asked you what the best way was to gain name recognition from Australia and you were not interested, you dont want an office opened in Canberra. The UMD are pushing for name recognition in Australia so they have my support lets see what they can do about it, to me this is an extremely important issue.

AMHRC are also pushing for name recognition so this is exactly what we need, lets hope every Mak Organization has this at the top of their agenda.

'Kevin Rudd',

just shut up now, you are starting to be embarrasing. I actually think you are two people, one of you guys is a smart arse shit stirrer, the second is an absolute dimwit. I have more intellectual discussion with my five year old daughter.

Stop your nonsense and head up UMD Australia already, write for the Australian UMD Weekly, work out your plan of attack at the Swanston Street Starbucks, and resolve the name issue - once you have worked out what you want to call us!

And stop your dodgy infatuation with the boy wonder, it really is scary.

By the way, Kev, are you an Egejec, a Vardarec, a Pirinec, a Skopian, a Northern/Democratic Macedonian, and how are things in your neck of the woods? What's the situation on the ground there? How many of you are there? What did you think of Slavo-Makedonski's speech? We should unite? United we can! We are Macedoanians.

You are a goose.

[Grotius]

By the way, I apologise to everybody else for the above.

Meto's speech was a complete and waste of time for me, nothing new nothing old and personally I don't really care what a 70 year old may have heard or not have heard in the audience as they are not the future of the Macedonian Diaspora

Its very disappointing that the average age was 70

The young generation would have been there in droves it it had free beer and spirits together with entertainment from the local strip club

Just another UMD membership drive nothing else

The Macedonian youths were all at the "ozi serb' functions belly dancing to disgusting serbian turbo folk. Dont you know that macedonian music is boring and out of date, and artificial and fake serbian turbo folk is the future?

From my minimal experience with the Perth "macos" most of them have a self hating mind set going on.

[osiris]

no i dont oppose umd opening an office anywhere in the world if it helps our cause.

but i do oppose a macedonian organisation taking money from people who have vested interests in macedonia and its future.

prolet what are umds achievements to date that make you think they can achieve so much in australia.
