What attributes make a good Ruler for today's Modern World?

Of course, there is somebody with all of those skills… Image

Oracle , you have indeed highlighted three virtues worthy of human admiration.
You could have all three of these rules adopted by having the courage and the wisdom , and the motivation to replace your signature !!!!


What do you have against the Dalai Lama? :?


I have nothing against His "Hollowness Highness " , your Highness !!!
Just the intro of your signature , might confuse the uninitiated who may attribute that to His Hollowness !!


Then they too, need to think :roll:

..... or at least read carefully.

VP Used to have an offensive signature , at least offensive to the G/Cs , in a magnanimus way and with wisdom he has now deleted it . I wait for
Philia , Sophia and Andreia to come to the rescue , just imagine how much good it will do to your image !!

Image is the least of my concerns ...... I am not canvassing for popularity.

Well P , let me explain , although you are using Turks as against T/Cs , you are still open to criticism by inferring that all Turks are liars , that takes in people like Deniz , Kikapu , Birkibrisly and I most certainly do not confuse "lies" with "interpretation " I don't think that your attitude towards Turks in general is conducive to the process that requires good will and co operation from all sides in order to find a solution to our Cyprob.
Trust is something we need to build and offensive signatures are certainly not the way to do it.
May I also add that having met amongst others , Halil , Iceman , MRfromGR , I have them all to be honourable Cypriots that I would gladly share my space with any of them.

Do not make excuses for those that do not tell the truth or you join them.

If you would rather turn a blind eye to the lies that Turkey upholds, that is your prerogative ... but do not ask me to do so also .... that is my prerogative.

As for what I would like them to think i.e. respect human rights and allow nations to be free ....... again I ask you: why do you have a problem with that?

I am not a sycophant Miltiades.

At least I respect Turkey enough to tell her what I think ... not flatter her with platitudes and patronise her like a child.

Be careful you do not behave like those people that did not condemn Hitler because they had a few German friends.

Respect Turks enough to tell them the Truth.
