"Skopjan" is a hateful, vulgar term used by Greeks to refer to Macedonians. When a Greek calls a Macedonian a "Skopjan", he is denying ones identity with hateful intent!!!! Jim Karygiannis used this term with hateful intent towards all Macedonians!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Excelcan (talk • contribs) 03:50, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

From the Canadian Criminal Code.

Criminal Code of Canada


Sections 318 and 319 of the Criminal Code make it a criminal offence to:

advocate genocide

publicly incite hatred

wilfully promote hatred against an "identifiable group."


An identifiable group is defined as any section of the public distinguished by:

colour

race

religion

ethnic origin Hatred directed against others groups (such as women, or gays and lesbians) is not punishable under sections 318 and 319.


The Criminal Code provisions are intended to prohibit the public distribution of hate propaganda. Private speech is not covered by the provisions.

[edit] NPOV

An anonymous poster wrote:

This article sounds like it was written by a Karygiannis official!

Then, I wrote:

What specifically do you have a problem with? I tried to *avoid* anything that would sound POV when I wrote my contributions to the piece.

(Btw, I considered adding the fact that Karygiannis won a Hill Times "worst MP" poll a few years ago, but I couldn't find a weblink.) CJCurrie 20:36, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Does anyone else think the article is biased, in its current form? If not, I plan to remove the NPOV notice in a few days. CJCurrie 29 June 2005 21:03 (UTC)

[edit] The Truth About Jim...

Anyone having any information regarding this MP please feel free to post. [unsigned]

Or better yet, don't. This is board for discussing the encyclopedia article, not a place to air personal grievances. CJCurrie 03:04, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Macedonia again

I hope that this edit isn't a sign of things to come on this page. The Manual of Style for Macedonian naming conventions is (i) only a proposed guideline, (ii) focused on general on-wiki naming conventions, and (iii) has nothing whatsoever to do with JK's use of a disputed term. In fact, I see that the MOS makes no comment on whether or not "Skopjan" should be considered offensive. CJCurrie (talk) 00:26, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
