I can feel an animation coming on

cyprusgrump, obviously you can be kind and decent, I am surprised that you cannot grasp the point that all the attributes of acceptable behaviour are contained in the doctrines of every nation, therefore, like it or not, if you are kind and decent you must be following such doctrines.
Whether or not we agree with those of differing views, each of them are subject to similar guidelines.
Ignorance and insult are outside the accepted codes of good conduct, therefore it should be avoided if one wishes to be seen as kind and decent.

Stout you are doing admirably trying to philosophise with some of the forumers . . . Congratulations! I wish I had more time to join in too.

Your style reminds me of dear Eliko, whom I miss and I think when he returns, the two of you will have some high-brow exchanges which I shall get the popcorn ready for . . .

Phoenix, thank you for your compliment, I must say I am a little disappointed with the reception I have received from some of the members, I am new to this forum (all forums in fact), my children bought me this P.C. for Christmas and encouraged me to join.
I am beginning to realize that I may be victim to a plot perpetrated by them to drive me mad, I fear they may succeed in their objective as I am developing Quixotic tendencies due to my obsession with fighting lost causes.
I would have dearly loved to have participated in an intelligent debate which would have culminated in resolving some issues, however, from what I have seen, that does not appear to be the intention of those who are exchanging their views.
My children have derived a certain amount of pleasure in observing the topics I have been involved in, they think it is money well spent.
Little do they know that I am planning to turn the tables on them next Christmas, at which time I will endeavour to supply them with gifts that will drive them mad (more so than they are already that is).

Thank you Stout your appology is accepted, can we just agree to disagree and be friends ?

Delighted my dear. X.

My daughter takes riding lessons, she constantly badgers me for a pony, I think I will present her with a close comparison to Rozinante.
As to the boys, who knows ?.

Me too Stout,

Please do not leave the forum, I do not like fighting either.

We all if truth be told have unresolved issues, I wanted to leave Cyprus with a will that I would return and see a much loved friend who I left behind. That cannot be now as that friend of 15 years dies of cancer. Money was extracted from us via con merchants. so I am hurting too.

I wish you health happiness and luck

That all depends on how much contact you have had with them, a booze cruise to Calais perhaps ?

As for my rudeness ? before you accuse me I suggest you take a long hard look at your self, What sort of comics do you read , the beano perhaps. I staggers me that you are Obsessed with religeion in any form or is it just a a method of stirring up ill will for your own amusement, .

My comments about Jehovah witnesses was not meant to offend at all, and if ANY Jehovah Witnesses who are on this website are offended then I appologise .

However I suspect that this is just mischief making on your part.

Perhaps you will pick a fight or diagree with anyone on whatever subject is picked.

I was brought up to respect the feelings of others , how about you ? you it seems could not give a stuff about anyone else, You have certainly offended me on many occasions and I have no doubt many other people.

Are you British ? if not where do you come from. The French people I know are a delight and have been totally helpful since we have lived here, I have NEVER in 3 years heard any French Person being rude to any Brit or any other nationality for that matter.
it is a shame that you find the French and this particular "rost beuf" distasteful as I was going to invite you around for dinner should you ever decided to visit this beautiful part of Europe.

I started this thread because I was fed up with the constant banging on of your Muslim friends on the other link and you seem to have carried it over here Why? what was wrong with the other link ?

Erm Cheshire Cat. Stout is not far wrong with his experience with the French. I love the French Countryside and even have relatives in France who I go to visit on a regular basis. The majority of French I have met have been ignorant and have shown a real dislike of the English people. This sort of attitude I have seen in Paris, Bordeaux, Nancy, Lyons and where my friends live near Avignon. There is no escaping the fact that the French as a whole do not like us very much and some have even spit in our direction.
They often refuse to answer you even when you try to speak French to the best of your ability and can be deliberately obstructive.
You seem to have been lucky in your acquaintance with the French and good for you but for me, if I did not have to go to France to visit my friends I am afraid their animosity towards the British as a whole would deter me from going.
One Frenchman even had a go at me because the English language had been chosen (that week as it happens) as the international language to be used for all aircraft. It seems that the French would like French to be the international language. He thought I would not understand him!! He certainly found out to his cost that I understood him perfectly and his biased and unwholesome descriptions of the English.

Thank you so much for your kind wishes and may I offer you my condolences for the loss of your friend ?.
Happy New Year to you and yours. Andy. X

Rawk,

If I have misjudged him then I can only appologise, but why when he was told that we were not interested did he persist. I even moved to another "channel" and others followed and he followed here too.

We all all entitled as I have kept saying to our own beliefs, however no one wants any religeion bunged down their throats, no matter which religeon it is.

[Cheshire Cat]

It is awful Sweetie pie that you have had such a bad experience, the places you mention are all Major cities, we could say the same about London, Birmingham,Limassol,Nicosia.
Are you taking turns to have a pop at me, ? who is next Pheonix.

I have not criticised Cyprus where you live, why criticise my chosen home.?

I lived a long time over in Cyprus 18 years in fact and I can tell you stories that you probably would not believe.

But have I, No !! because I respect your rights to live where you want to live. why can you not respect my choices.

I could have walked away from Cyprus and said everyone was horrible after all that my family was put through, If you would like to supply me with your email address I will send to you articles that were written in the local press in CYPRUS about the awful things that happened.

If you hate France, fine, you are allowed to if you hate me, fine I do not care. But make sure your facts are un biased.

I will not stay where I am not wanted. So I guess this forum is not right for me.
