Reflektime mbi tokën e gjyshit tim shqiptar

[white_snake]

FreeByrd, there is an Albanian syaing 'Mikun respektoje, por ne qosh te konakut qenrro vet', meaning, respect your guest but still maintain your position as the head of the family, implying that there is a limit to everything.

If you read my posts carefully, I have stated that some (not all of them) of the details in Stanger's article weren't true. Now they can not be made true only because Stanger said them.
Thats what I was debating on and I still hold that position.

Now you come and tell me that we are loughable, and tell me that we don't honour our hospitality because we refuse to be branded as 'mountain people, primitive, warlike people'. Please, listen to your self.

Than you go and metion 'besa' as if to say that you know and understand our culture, way of living and traditions but it is used totally out of context. Do you really know what 'besa' means???

I understand that you apparently, think alot of Allison Stanger and her work, and that's your choice, but when you want to agrue someone else's case make sure you know what you are talking about and you are well informed. Such information to be obtained from different resources so that you can weight the results and make up your mind on whats most likely to be right.

Reading the rest of your post is just ridicolous, you make it sound like it's journalists who rule the world. If you think that's true, I got some sad news for you, POLITICS and politicians, they f*ck all of us up, they will only listen to journalists and people like you and me when they feel like it and when it suits them.

Just to clear your head, I am not being vedictive, I spotted untruthfull details in Stanger's article and I pointed them out, call me inhospitable if you want, but I can't help but stand up for my self (after all I belong to the Albanian comunity so some of the stuff mentioned is indirectly applied to me as well as the other 5 million Albanians).

I felt ofended by the brands and epithets that you used while comparing us to Kurds. And I don't appreciate much the fact that our nation is compared to another nation (reasons explained in my debates with Diella1). Also not very impressed with the way you are carrying on this debate as you have no knowledge of our country, I believe all you know about albania has been read in magasines and newspapers. And on these basis, I don't think much of you.

Freebyrd if you understood "Besa" you would not use that word so carelessly. It leads me to believe that you used it as ill will. In fact that last paragraph there was a lot of animosity for no particular reason at all.

Don't act high and mighty because you are not. That superiority complex you have going on, bring it down a notch or two. As we discussed before, differences of opinions will always be present, you cannot expect everyone to agree with you. If you felt attacked by me or anyone else here, it is because you yourself spoke with a condescending tone and continue to do so.

Sincerely,

It's Déjà vu. Four years ago Patriot fans watched helplessly as Eli Manning marched the Giants down the field to win the Super Bowl in the last two minutes. History repeated itself yesterday. Another Super Bowl in the trenches but no payback, only double the pain.

We thank you for the condolences.

Congratulations.
