Reasons I'm proud to be Greek (just some of them):

Because whenever foreigners cannot find a word, they steal one of ours (i.e. 'politics' or 'encyclopedia' as seen on the upper left of your monitor) - (oh, I just noticed on the main page of Wikipedia - 'pedia' is a greek word also - the words 'biography', 'geography', 'history', 'mathematics', technology', 'portals', 'categories' - I'm sure I'll find many more if I continue reading)
Because Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle were Hellenic and we still quote from them
Because we invented theatre
Because we gave birth to Democracy
Because we discovered logic
Because we jumpstarted science
Because we are proud of our culture, not of our wars
Because when others were discovering meat, we already had cholesterol
Because when we were building the Parthenon, the others were still sleeping under trees or in caves
Because when others created wars, we created Games to stop wars
Because we tossed our ancient alphabet to the Romans and our medieval alphabet to the Slavs
Because 97% of the stars' names are Hellenic
Because although we know danger well, we dare
Because "Greeks do not fight like heroes, heroes fight like Greeks" (Winston Churchill, 1941)
