  1. Ha! Thanks for the reminder (and the wishes). Yes, it's been 25 years! Wow! Time flies! Through good times and not-so-good times. 25 years is a long time (I'm tired just by thinking about it! 😄

    Thanks to all the members that throughout these years have shared their thoughts with the rest of the community and have kept these forums an interesting place to visit and interact.

    Well, I'll lift up my glass tonight and drink to the Forums and all the Members that have been a part of this tight knit community.

    To infinity and beyond!

    Athanasiadis and Kolovos doing great at Sheriff who stunned Real Madrid 2-1 in Champions League. Must be in contention for call up to the NT squad.

    Athanasiadis in particular had a great match.

     

    He certainly was. For those that did not get a chance to see the game and the great display by Athanasiadis, here are some highlights worth watching:

    Το καλοκαίρι του 2004, η Ελλάδα μάγεψε την Ευρώπη με την πιο αναπάντεχη νίκητης στην ιστορία του ποδοσφαίρου. Οι θεατές ανά τον κόσμο παρακολούθησαν με δυσπιστία και δέος τα αουτσάιντερ του θεσμού, μία ομάδα, η οποία χωρίς να έχει καμία απολύτως νίκη σε σημαντική διοργάνωση, κατατρόπωσε τους γίγαντες του παγκόσμιου ποδοσφαίρου και ανακηρύχθηκε πρωταθλήτρια Ευρώπης. Ο αρχιτέκτονας πίσω από αυτό τον απροσδόκητο θρίαμβοήταν ο θρυλικός Γερμανός προπονητής, ο ‘Βασιλιάς’Όττο Ρεχάγκελ. Έχοντας σημειώσει τεράστιες επιτυχίες για την χώρα του, πήρε την παράτολμη απόφαση να εγκαταλείψει την αυτοκρατορία του, για να αναλάβει την αδύναμη Ελληνική ομάδα ποδοσφαίρου. Αυτή είναι ιστορία για το πως δύο εκ διαμέτρου αντίθετες κουλτούρες ενώθηκαν, μίλησαν την ίδια γλώσσα και έγραψαν μαζί ένα νέο κεφάλαιο στην Ελληνική μυθολογία.

  4. Also, two factor authentication using handlers for Google Authenticator and Security Questions is now available to select user groups. (premium members, moderators)

    Two Factor Authentication allows members of the community to secure their accounts using an additional layer of security in addition to their normal username and password. Users will not be presented with any two factor options unless at least one of these handlers is enabled.

    Those with access will find two-factor authentication under their account settings - Security & Privacy:

  5. For security purposes the way a user logs in has changed. A user is required to log in with their email address - not their user name as it was until now.

    Allowing users to log in with a display name can represent a security weakness for our community because display names are public information and malicious users may attempt to login to multiple accounts with common passwords until they find an account for which the passwords work.

  6. ‘The greatest striker’: Gerd Müller, legendary German forward, dies aged 75. (The Guardian)

    The forward scored 68 goals in 62 appearances for West Germany, including the winning goal in the 1974 World Cup final against Holland.

    Thank you Gerd for all you did for the sport

    May his soul rest in peace.

     

  7. For argument's sake, if they were successful in ''having a go at him'', would and should they stop there? If so why? Shouldn't their 'courtesy' extend to all those that meet their 'courtesy requirements', which is 90% of those that oppose them ideologically?

    Also, I am assuming that you agree with 17 November ideologically since you endorse a hypothetical event. But endorsing the actions of 'someone else' is puzzling, especially since you set forth no conditions as long as they achieve the desired outcome. In this case: as long as somebody has a go at Dick Cheney, you wouldn't and couldn't care at all what they stand and why they did it. Does that sound about right?

    Or maybe I just totally misunderstood your statement.  (It happens sometimes)

    He's not incarcerated because of his politics--let's get this straight. He's imprisoned because he has murdered 11 people and terrorized the public.

    Yes, people need to understand this distinction. Murder is a murder is a murder no matter how you coat it.

    The problem in all of this is that if you get rid of the filibuster, than you set bad precedents.

    The filibuster has no place in a modern representative democracy. It's an archaic process in the US Senate and has been overly abused by both parties over the years. For those that don't know what 'filibuster' is (our members outside the US), here's a link: Wikipedia.

    Elections have consequences and the winning party has to govern according to the wish of the people that elected them. That's what having a majority is about. 50%+ 1 gives one the majority. The minority should have a voice and present it for discussion and consideration.

    Bipartisanship is achieved by two parties cooperating - the winning party sets the tone of discussion in the particular branch of government. The minority party brings up its arguments and own proposals for discussion and to make the public aware of where it stands. One party refusing to participate in governing - with the sole goal of accusing the other party of failing in legislating - is not what legislating and bipartisanship is about. Although it it what it has become. Which makes it the appropriate to change, the appropriate time to move forward.

    The Democratic party will have to live with the consequences of doing away with the filibuster if and when the Republican party gains majority in the Senate.
