An ancient country plagued with political instability and war in the 19th and 20th centuries, only to have its southern most territory annexed by Greece. Its name, flag and history has recently come under intense scrutiny by Greece in an attempt to take Macedonian culture as their own.

The BEST country in thw world and home of the great ledgend Alexander The Great!!! People think that Macos and Greeks are the same but they are not. Greeks think they are better then Macos and Macos think they are better then Greeks.

well jim if only you and your fag friend from Peloponesia would read a book that wasn't writen by a greek, you'd learn a lot of things. like for example, alexander the great really didn't like you greeks, why do you think 95% of the greeks in his army were mercenaries.
I am a real Macedonian, decendant of Alexander the Great Macedonian, not greek. and i UNLIKE most other greeks have stopped listening to my dad for questions about history, and have actually read a couple books on it.

Macedonia is an identity, that hold out to this day the pressure from all people around Macedonian land. Bulgarians adopted the language (they spoked Bulgarian witch is now forgotten).Greeks abuse the great heart of Alexander the Macedonian and the fact that he spread the Hellenic language, instead of his own Macedonian language.Macedonia lives in the hearts of Macedonians and there is no power that can change that.
Today's Macedonian language, in the Republic of Macedonia,(also in Bulgaria, Serbia and all slav countries)have Antic Macedonian root- Old Macedonian language.
This fact is described in the work of prof. Aristotel Tentov

I’m not sure why this topic seems so controversial. In fact it probably really isn’t, it’s only the bitter, self righteous, intolerant Greeks that insist on living in the past. What do they insist on? Well, they insist that the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) is in reality Greek. The definition of what is “Greek” is entirely subjective of course, but no matter let’s overlook that blatant idiosyncrasy for now.
Regardless of the fallacies in their own argument, there is no substantiation behind it. For one, they base their theory on the lineage of Alexander the Great. This is preposterous, for at the time his father was Phillip, King of Macedonia (not of Greece, mind you), and his mother was a Greek whore that his father took for himself. Furthermore, Alexander was crowned as King of Macedonia, at which point he promptly invaded and took over Greece. Now then, why would someone invade their own country? Precisely, they wouldn’t. Thus, argument 1 is negated: Alexander the Great was Macedonian. Second, the theory that he spread “the Greek culture” is more ridiculous than the first argument. There is about as much a distinct “Greek culture” as there is a distinct “Columbian culture” or a “Zimbabwean culture”. It was a Mediterranean way of life that everyone in the region enjoyed, not just the self righteous Greeks, who persistently call the lifestyle “Greek”. It was representative of all the Balkans, and by that token Alexander the Great did not spread “Greek culture”, but rather Mediterranean culture.
Lastly, and most obtuse, is the argument that the land that FYROM occupies is really part of Greece. Well, what evidence is there for that argument? If it should be a part of Greece, then it most certainly would be. Land is acquired by working for it, not by complaining to the world community that some land should be yours. There is no divine mandate that dictates what lands belong to who. Did the lands in present day France always belong to the French? Or, did the lands of England always belong to British? Or even the lands of Germany, always to the Germans? No, of course not! There were disputes over those lands, and most often blood was spilt. They all belonged to a myriad of different tribes before any stability came about. Sorry Greeks, but this is a harsh world; Macedonia exists because, partially, your weakness and inability to control your own lands. Survival of the fittest as they call it; bitch and moan all you like but unless the hand of God comes down and grants Macedonia to Greece on a silver platter, the lands of Macedonia will forever more remain sovereign.
Now, to the man who insulted the people of Macedonian descent of being “pathetic slav retards”, I would like he himself to retort with at least half a sound of an argument as that which you see right here. Now, I am not often very outspoken, but I simply cannot stand to see such ignorance being blabbed about. There is a very fine line gents, between nationalism and bigotry. I trust you remember that. So, next time you would like to express your dogmatic complaints please follow some logical, coherent conventions if you please.
