It's like in Britain nobody calls it by its proper title of "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" because it's stupidly long and people know what you're on about when you refer to Britain.
When I say Britain instead of "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" it doesn't change anything about the history of the country, it's just an easier way of saying where I live, lol!
After reading up on the whole situation I can see where you're coming from. I'm sure that FYROM and Greece can come to a compromise eventually.
Simple example: People from F.Y.R.O.M want to be named Macedonia because according to what they say, Alexander the Great (I hope we all know who he is so I'm not going to explain his background) was
from the same origin as them. Now, if you read a few history books or just look it up on the net you'll find that they appeared during the 6th century B.C while Alexander the Great lived during the 4th century B.C !!!! So unless Alexander the Great was "immortal" there is no way something like that happened!
I mean come on... they don't even have logical reasons. There proofs are make-believe. So since its not proven I personally don't accept F.Y.R.O.M people calling themselves Macedonians. Its our history! Our country's past! They can't throw that away and decide to take what's ours!
Again I don't mean to offend anyone its simply what I believe. Sorry if it comes over as really one-sided or arrogant or whatever but its my honest point of view.
