OMG! pantheman that was just uncalled for mate, calm down....that was harsh, and very rude!

[pitsilos]

i was nearly robbed at venus beach as i was on the phone. an african american comes up to me while on the phone talking and demands my wallet...i turn my head at him in disbelief as i was talking on the phone, ripped the handset of the phone and clobbered his fucking head a few times...then the bastard runs away... what an asshole and a rude bastard, he could have waited till i got off the phone before he asked for my wallet...

The first is the “honorable” social problems such as…

My child is sick, I’m unemployed, my wife is expecting again, my partner left me, etc

…and then we have the “dishonorable” socials problems such as…

I’m an alcoholic, I’m a drug user, I’ve got a gambling problem, I’m bankrupt, etc.

What about when it is the second and the person lies that it is the first and promises 10% profits on top of it? Would you feel ok if some person was lying to you to get money for alcohol, drugs and gambling? And do you think such problems are solved by giving them money? Lying to get money is bad! He could just say the truth about the reason he wanted the money and then let people decide if they want to give him money or not.

Well due to prejudice it’s expected that someone would hide any problems from the second group if they had them. If someone were to say…“please help me because I’ve acquired a debt from gambling!” what kind of response do you think they’d get from the public?

The small amounts we offered are a very short-term emergency “solution” but I like to think that the 40 odd minutes I had spent listening and talking will be a small psycological step in the right direction towards a long term solution.

Like Get Real I too helped Fanos out.

Before GR got there I had been talking to Fanos for about 15 - 20 minutes. The conversation we had is private so i will not air that here. However I will say that Fanos did not try and hide things that were unpleasant from me and seemed to be very genuine in his situation. We have all made mistakes in our lives - crikey I've made some fecking beauties - and it is people who have helped me when I have been in bad times of my life that have made me get up and on with my life.

Time will tell with Fanos as it always does..however to me the chance to help someone should not be overshadowed by the odd occasion you may meet a rip off merchant..it would be a very sad world if we all retreated into that hole.

[Get Real!]

To those campaigning against this…

We’ve heard you out so thanks for your contribution on this matter. Now I trust you’ll allow the mature adult forum members to decide for themselves AND show a little respect for another member’s private life.

A big thank you.

Regards, GR.

what a shame a man in need can not ask for help. hey, at least he's not out picking pockets or robbing banks. oh, i forgot, there is NO Crime in Cyprus.
it is my understandng that Cyprus is a tiny tiny country, with a very small population. we have at least 6 times more people just living in NYC. so if some guy wants to ask for a temporary loan, don't you think it would be pretty stupid of him not to make good on it? he has, after all, already met with serveral forum members who were generous enough to help him out. if he wanted to pull a scam, wouldn't he get his butt kicked? OH, Forgive me!--i forgot--there is NO Crime in Cyprus.

how sad, i find it, that some people can't part with a few pounds (or whatever your currency is called, depending on where you live) to help out someone in need. i guess these people need all thier money to buy stool softeners.

Yes GG you are quite right, compared to NYC there is no Crime in cyprus. Even with your increased population the GDP of crime in NYC compared to cyprus even after normalising the figures for population differences means there is none to talk about. THE USA invented crime and now export it, idiot.

No place is 100% crime free, but you would just like to slag off cyprus at every chance you get. Whats with you and cyprus anyway? You are not cypriot of any kind, oh yes i remember, you once got your arse screwed by a GC and suddenly you can lay claim to the island and it inhabitants.

Go feck yourself and get youself another guy from somewhere else so you can insult his mother country. Better still get a god damn american so you can insult the yanks as much as you like, that way we can all join in.

You are as sad as they come, get a life and leave cyprus out of it.

Your attack on me is totally uncalled for pantheman. you want to call americans stupid, and here i am to learn more about YOUR culture, and you call me an idiot.
look who's talking!
how ignorant you are to say that the USA invented crime, but i am not about to argue this as it is not what the thread is about. it's not all about me, you know. this one is about Fanos.
i will accept your apologies. i know it must be hard when you can't even afford your own stool softners and the shit just builds up inside you.

[GorillaGal]

come to think of it Pantheman, no need to apologize. you can't help it if you were inbred.

GG, youy are so funny got feck your self, you must be bloody joking.

And for those who think i have over reacted, just go a read GG previous posts on cyprus not one good thing to say. Go learn some elses culture and insult them intead.

I've said my piece. You get no apologes from me.

[GorillaGal]

you are so fuill of shit, pantheman, you can't even see straight anymore. after you've had your colonic, go on and re-read my posts, and you will see the only insults i have are to people like you that are so down on the USA. yes, we are not perfect, but neither are you.

Ignore him GG , he is suffering from the "American finger " syndrome so prevalent in Cyprus and Greece.
Long Live America.
