<p>ou this is painful for debate...</p>
<p>Galatassaray is from Turkey. And Greeks don't like Turkey when it comes to football (actually they generally don't like each other..with Cyprus and everything)</p>
<p>awwwww.. i'm so sorry...

<p>

So not true Rister. I have tons of friends from Turkey, and in spite the variances between the two countries, I hold no hatred for Turkey. On the contrary, some of my best friends are from there, and we meet annually in the summer when they come to Greece.</p>
<p>Rafael Nadal is the best...</p>
<p>Maria Sharapova is a loser</p>
<p>Serena Williams is the best...</p>
<p>Roger Federer is not modest...</p>
<p>and tiger woods is amazing....</p>
<p>Ronaldinho is better than Ronaldo...</p>
<p>the American soccer team sucks...</p>
<p>people say that I am mean, but then they want to be my friend? People are weird....</p>
<p>A real live athletics correspondent in our thread!
Fascinating...</p>
<p>Venus Williams cannot beat Serena Williams...</p>
<p>the book Little Prince is overrated...</p>
<p>the movie Harry Potter is much worse than the book...</p>
<p>Spiderman 3 was purported to be a disappointment....</p>
<p>Little Prince: I doubt it. Have you tried analyzing it? (i'm a lit fan u were right!)
Harry Potter: I second that one
Spiderman 3: Really?? Cuz we were gonna go this weekend. Should we skip it??</p>
<p>Little Prince: spent 3 weeks analyzing the book in French class --> I liked the last page the best!
Spiderman 3: not as good as the first or the second one</p>
<p>Perhaps cuz it was french???
I have found many books to be less amusing to read in English than in Greek.
And I too have misjudged books due to that.</p>
