I've said it before on the forums, and I WILL say it again now. Some of the nicest people that I have ever met are Americans. Every one of them has been polite and witty, always with a good story to tell.

Do you really believe its that simple Pantheman to "get over it"? Love isn't a switch that you can flip love/getoverit. Its feelings & its emotions, something we can't control.

Hazza, i'm not really interested in GGs love life, but for gods sake, if he ain't with her any more, i would have thought that the cyprus forum would be the last place she'll want to be.

People must move on. End of.

Ladies and gentleman, what some of you (Pantheman) fail to understand is that the U.S. did not become the world's superpower by repressing its political and economic interests for sheer altruism. It is far from utopian. It is, in fact, however, a political entity, and like any political entity on the face of the earth, it pursues matters in its own best interest.

Additionally, what some of you (Pantheman) fail to understand is that, despite the death and destruction the U.S. has caused in its time, it is equally responsible for proportionate acts of life-saving philanthropy, too numerous for me to list here.

Further, I'll take souvla and sheftalia over hotdogs and hamburgers on any 4th of July. There's no comparison, and every freekin' American in my neighborhood knows this is true.

Lastly, how does one with heartfelt connections to both the U.S. and Cyprus reconcile the U.S.'s role in the partition of Cyprus? It's irreconcilable. In other words, for those of you who may not believe it (Pantheman), one need not be a nonAmerican to be in discord with U.S. poltical policy.

Well (filitsa mou) i hear what you are saying, but (filitsa) it does stop me from hating the US. In case you (filitsa) didn't realise it still my country that is under an illegal occupation and you (filitsa) must remember we can't go home.

I couldn't give a rats bottom about their self interests as that doesn't make it alright. Surely you (filitsa) can see the damage being done to the world by the US. Its not even safe to shopping any more. As they, your (filitsa) buddies have really open a can of worms now. They were just lucky where GCs are concerned that they don't do suicide bombings. Otherwise they would have a shit load more trouble.

So, please, lay off the bulshit and don't insult my intelligence with your usual american crap. I know about self interest, just look at afganistan, iraq, lebanon, yugolsavia it says it all about US self interest.

The US should take a closer look at its own backyard, homeless, drugs, prostitution, gangs etc etc. Get those things sorted and then lets measure how good they are. Until then wrap up.

And lastly, if the US wants to do something positive for cyprus, it can start by telling turkey to get out, condem them publically, stop giving them arms, money other forms of aid, it can demand turkey obey the numerous UN resolutions etc etc. but this ain't never gonna happen because of US self interest, they need turkey more than they need cyprus.

So please i ask you don't put sult on our wounds by spouting such rubbish.

Heres a little brain teaser for you (filitsa) and anyone else for that matter, Whats the difference between UN resolution 1441 against iraq and the numerous resolutions against turkey ?

Answer; The US wants to be in iraq where all the oil is, potatoes not good enough. That sums up the US very nicely.

have a nice day. I rest my case.

Well I 'm pleased that Pantheman has at last realized the infinitesimal importance to the USA of Cyprus and how significant Turkey is to their interests. Some of us have realized that International alliances are primarily based on our nations self interests , it is regretted that our own people and to a larger extend our government , have failed and continue to fail in recognizing the fundamental doctrine in promoting and attaining the utmost benefits for our nation. America is the superpower in the world , and it is the USA's refusal to recognise the "TRNC" that prevents the legal acceptance internationally of the "TRNC" .No other power , the EU included , will refuse to succumb to a call by the USA for recognition. It is a hard battle for those Cypriots in the States , Britain and other parts of the world fighting to prevent such an even happening. Faced with such immense anti American feelings by our Cypriot compatriots we must concentrate our efforts in dispelling the fallacious views constantly promoted by those inflicted with the dreadful decease of "americanicodaxtilo " , along with such countries as Iran , Bangladesh , Syria , Pakistan Afghanistan and many more progressive !! nations.

oh now wait a second here Pantheman--let me get this one straight. you want the USA to pull out of iraq, and leave them alone, along with afghanistan and iran, blah blah blah. you condemn those actions, but if we come over to kick some turkish butt out or cyprus, it'll change how you feel about us?
that's about the funniest, most hypocritical thing i have read yet in this forum. thanks for the laughs.

Don't you understand what you read, you silly mare.

I never said come out of anywhere, or kick anyone elses butt, idiot.

I was making a comparison between what the US choses to do when it suits itself. They don't have to kick turkeys butt (i bet they couldn't do it any way - but thats another story), but to condemn them, sanctions against them, anything that the UN resolutions call for. Oh Yes, i forgot, its the god damn yanks that run that show too, so no f chance there.

Now was that simple enough for you ?

God, can we just agree to disagree on this one, cos its getting really boring now?
