Do you mean like the way they teach young Turks to slit the throats of their sisters in case their uncle rapes them to preserve the family "honor"? Or how they teach you the burn-the-Patriarch-mock-up techinque? Save it, you WISH your miserably failing educating system was anything close to the Greek one. Now go protest with the rest of your gray wolves pack because a bunch of girls wearing headscarves are about to dissolve your precious kemalist secular state. Pathetic....
good point , alexiss. this was my point in one of the otehr threads. no one knows the things phoenix has seen or experienced in her life to cause this dislike of turks, but it's not up to me to judge. i have better things to do with my life than worry about what other people do with theirs. i think CY would be alot better off if everyone worried more about themselves and thier families rather than their neightbors or even forum members think or do.
GG, I have to ask if your 'love' that you keep telling us about is GC, TC or just Cypriot? I ask as I think he may well be GC, hence your response.
It does not matter what you have seen and done in your life, there is no excuse for racism. Points of view are better received if done without the obvious hatred and total disregard for the readers

my love is a GC, and i find him to be a bit racist in some attitudes, although i know he has friends that are TC. he spent alot of time in the USA, which i am sure has taught him some tolerance. however, his family was displaced in 1974, and i think it is somewhat understandable.
and yes, i agree all racism is inexcusable. but one also has to understand where it comes from.
but may i ask you--Bubbles-- you are not a cypriot, are you? greek or turkish?
No, I am not Cypriot, GC, TC, Greek or Turkish gori mou. English and proud of it - something else I get attacked for, but hey! It is Sunday, maybe people will be kind today. What do you reckon?
