Yet again a thread gets hijacked to the Cyprus Problem. Have you sad people (oops nearly swore there) nothing else to talk about.

The argument that when one results to using the F word is because he has lost the debate and unable to master appropriate vocabulary to put an argument forward , is no longer entirely valid. Bad language interpretation has drastically changed over the last 20 or so years. I believe that swearing in the presence of children and ladies is quite wrong but amongst mature adults can be quite entertaining !!
Anyone watches the F programme with that f..ng millionaire chef ? I find it rather amusing but then I have no children at home and the only lady , well she is my wife !!

Simply becuase it is not I that occupy your home and property. If you show me who they are I might even join you.

I will NOT become abusive to all the Greek nation simply because my house is occupied by refugees from the North. I would not insult them either. I would definitely insult those responsible for the evnts which led to all this, and yes I do have sympathy for your losses, and at the same time I would hope that you appreciate our losses also. And you better believe it.

Hey I think I was always polite with you. ;) It is about the gray wolves of the forum I am talking about. I think you know who they are!

Tell me the time and date and I'll be there. Drinking beer is my favourite pastime but if we can have entertainment too so much the better. It will beat karaoke :lol:

Many of us of both ethnic origins have lost the use of lands or property & I would not want to argue any sentiments that have been expressed in that regard. I am however somewhat intrigued as to what the best way forward is & to that end, given the flag below your name, may I respectfully ask if you are Greek or Cypriot as I do have my own theories as to why it appears that meaningfull dialogue is something each side is fully capable of but not with each other.
If it helps I am a Greek speaking Cypriot.
Best regards.

Miltiades, I think it will be very fun if your nick name is Malakopitouras. You agree? :P ;)

[quote]i do understand the frustration and the anger under sensitive topic Simon...but this is just a forum....take a breath...calm down....go for a walk and then come back to post....re-read your post before you submit it and the forum will be better...the thing with those people who tend to insult each other etc...is how Lana said it ....lack of knowledge, lost the game, lack of arguments... [/quote]


Lena, to say that this is 'just a forum' is meaningless. It doesn't matter what it is; the nature of the Cyprus problem is one that inspires passion, anger, sadness, frustration, indignation etc, and will inevitably lead to insults in certain situations. Whether it is right or not depends on the circumstances (i.e. call a spade a spade. People like 'Paaul' are just thieves and deserve to be called so). Of course, when engaging in debates it would be preferable for insults to be set aside, but nobody is perfect and to think it will ever completely stop is simply wishful thinking.

The thread is "Bad Language" i.e. swearing. Most threads in this forum eventually end up in both sides hurling abuse at each other - its a bit pointless but at least we let off steam and get our points across. Bad language is a different matter, its unnecessary, it's usually a sign of a poor education and inability to express ones views coherently.
