Poor us:)
Luckely we have Greece!
But something tells me that I've seen these pictures or similer to them in your country too:) Specailly the donkeys, since they are your symbol of homecoming!
Please read carefully, maybe you will learn something: "The pic from Macedonia shows a rich harvest and got nothing to do with poverty"!
Greetings from Macedonia

p.s. Totally Blunt well said, you just nail them:)

Ok, so what? Are you trying to feel superior or what? What kind of sadist pleasure are you getting exactly by being sarcastic (oh no no poor peoples). As if Greece is any better, we will soon end up begging in the streets ourselves the way things are going. The problem is that we always have this inferiority complex wherever we go and we scream it out loud, so why don't we take a mirror and look at our own issues (unemployment rates, stray animals, cost of food constantly rising, how we are intolerant to immigrants despite the fact that we gave birth to democracy) and so much more? Why to be such a meanie? There is no need for this disgrace.

Does your question have a point? Or you are only looking for attention?

If you really want to help your poor neighbors, then get off your a$$ and do something besides posting pics on the internet.

Being poor is nothing to be ashamed of. If you think in Greece a few years back we weren't much better.
But being poor and stupid (or even worse try to steal the history of your neighbors), thats something to be ashamed of

1. The picture you name Albania won't open.
2. The pic from Macedonia shows a rich harvest and got nothing to do with poverty.
3. The pic from Bulgaria again has no connection to poverty. You think donkeys exist in only "poor" countries?
4. The first pic from Turkey is just an ordinary street. The second isn't from Turkey.

You're welcome. It is always a pleasure to help.

Do you think these things make you seem better? Do you think that making fun of poverty is good?
Besides, the image from Fyrom is something you could easily see in Greece.
The image from Bulgaria is something I wish you could still see in Greece.
The images from Turkey only show the big differences that this country has, and thaat is an inetrnal problem, because if you see the palaces on the Bosporus at the same time, you can't believe it is the same country.
As for Albania, it is at the state we were 60-70 years ago. It is in our hand to help them advance.
And if you think that calling someone an Arab is insulting, think better: Arabs invented algebra, chemistry, the number 0, a breakthrough in maths (I am sure you have seen this number a lot on your tests at school).

Being poor is not something bad or shameful.
Being retarted like you is....

Also,Turkey or Turkiye and not some Arab republic is in the G20,if you know what this mean..

Endevide .

First pic - Albania - kids having fun on a hot day in summer.
2nd Pic FYROM - Hardly poverty judging by the abundance of fruit and the size of the kid's belly!
3rd Bulgaria - Does not show poverty - just an older way of farming (can be seen in Greece/Italy/Spain ... most places)
4th Turkey - Typical back street (tells us nothing)
5th - not Turkey

My dear "rich" friends - It's better to have a rich soul than to be rich.
And one more thing “Who, being loved, is poor?”

Just Another Macedonian

I think the problem of Greeks is that they have poor minds, not poor neighbors.

A good start is to leave them in peace, that would help.
Vergina, you've stolen my thoughts! 100% agree with you!

They are really poor, but I thing (because of the smile on their faces) that they are happy!
But I understand you my greek friend. We should take that smile off their faces. Only superior nations like us can smile, everybody else should cry
