2.) When I meant Macedon, I referred to the Greek region. I always refer to the place within Greece when I say Macedon, & nothing outside, nothing else. The zone is technically a part of Greece. As said: Macedonia is part of  Northern Greece, together with  Thrace and sometimes  Thessaly and  Epirus. "

It's not a zone of its own, & shouldn't be treated as such. It does not lie in between Greece & FYROM. It's a part of Greece, & most of the ancient kingdom lies within the modern one. Ripping its roots away from Greece & considering it as a separate kingdom altogether...let's just say that the Greeks would do stuff the Leonidas way when that happens...Greece is mad about FYROM being such a ripoff. I mean, no one likes it when people steal from them.

Here's how you can probably relate to that (no offense guys, but I'm just speaking the truth here): China is taking our the Kalayaan island group & all islands west of us as part of their territory. Now, mate, us Filipinos view the islands west of the main archipelago as our own. Do we view them as separate islands altogether? Do we just let the Chinese claim the land, mate? Oh hell no, we don't, mate, we don't. Everyone from the fishermen to the folk further inland all know the truth: the islands are ours. Now, just replace China with FYROM, the islands with the Macedonian region, & the Philippines with Greece. Now, I hope you get how the Greeks feel about getting their stuff touched or thought of in that manner. No matter how small the deal seems to be, the affected will fight so fiercely just to shatter the false rumors & misconceptions as well as fight off those who try to shake the claim off of their stuff. Yeah, you can say I feel for the Greeks, especially since even my idol Alexander & his legacy, being symbols of Macedon, are part of the Macedon dispute, so it's a big deal for me, alright. That's my idol being juggled around in the argument. There, I hope relating that case to our own similar problem will do that. And if that can't get you to grasp what exactly am I fighting for, I don't know what will. Actually, there is a region called Macedonia in the middle of Greece, FYROM, Bulgaria, Albania, Serbia, and Kosovo. According to Wikipedia, the region is the once Kingdom of Macedonia before each state turned independent. Just like how you can say Prussia was a group of Germanic country (like Germany, Poland, Denmark, Switzerland, etc.), and the fact that Austria and Hungary was one kingdom before. And calling them "ripoffs" is kinda racist. It does not really have to go here. It's just like seeing there are Buddhist temples in a Christian region of Visayas, without even knowing that the region itself was once a part of the Shrivijayan Empire, which was a Buddhist empire, right before the Spaniards came.

And about the Kalayaan Islands, I'm full neutral. I mean there is no need to rant to them. Y should all remember that most of out goods are "Made in China". Most of the worlds most useful influences are from China. Remember paper, compass, gunpowder, The Art of War, it's from them. If there would be war between China and us (not only us, Japan, Vietnam, etc), all supplies will be cut off. And nobody wants that. Even America! When that happen, my father will lose a job. He is an online teacher teaching Chinese how to speak English. Well at the same time, I also disagree with China. They just took our islands like that, and not allowing us to fish there. They made hangars. Just hangars! Not allowing us to fish! Why not share you know? Like make business with this issue. I hope our president will resolve this issue peacefully for both our nations.

I hope not of my Chinese of fellow Pinoy wiki-mates are offended. Just a little peace talk. That's all. Sana mag saalang-alang tayo lahat. (I hope we accept this and move on.)

Kids, how do you react to Draken finally meeting his mother after 6 years?
