When someone in Greece says such things openly and express their love towards their country, flag, language and nationality, they are accused of being fascists. I only say that being proud of your country, respecting its symbols and constitution, defending right from wrong is something all of us should learn to do. Everyone has the right to believe in whatever they want, everyone has the right to love their country, but everyone also has the obligation to respect the legislation and national symbols of the grounds they are walking on.
It seems lately that people who show any pride in their country are being called fascists and I have to wonder if they really know what it means? Might it be a case where ignorance breeds contempt?
I agree that everyone has the right to believe in what they want. I take offense when people try to force me to swallow their crazy pill because they think their beliefs are greater than mine.
I would never go to a friend's home, much less a different country, and disrespect their customs, beliefs or property.
