: My dear, not one time did I designate myself as being Greek. You jump to conclusions too fast. My problem with the post was with the tone of anger it was written. There is no attempt to understand where the family was "coming from". One thing that I have always stressed is DIVERSITY. Although we don't always agree with the culture, lifestyles, or traditions of another that doesn't mean that they are wrong and we are right. You ramble on and on about things that have no bearing on the subject. Greeks are very diverse and individual families have their taboos. Are you saying that all Greek families act this way. A little narrowed minded aren't we. By the way the Puritans came seeking religous freedom. And as you know, they vanished. Maybe too much assimilation? Καλλιοπε.
