so it's all about money?

funny, i had a job that didn't pay well, and i barely could make ends meet. then 9-11 happened, and i lost my job. but still, i found a way to help the victims. i made a small investment, in post cards, and sold them on eBay, with the proceeds going to help the victims and families. from a $20 investment, i raised over $800 for charity.

i do not think it so difficult to find one day a week to donate a few hours to help those less fortunate. hey, one day a month? 5 or 6 hours out of approximately 720 hours in a month?

god forbid if someone might find out you did something to help someone else.

You misinterpretted me, it's a combination of things, not only money. You cannot compare Cyprus to 9-11. If 9-11 happened in Cyprus you will see how people would unite. Generally the people from the NYC are renouned for the manners, but being polite/well mannared and being united as two different things.

but 9-11 wan't about killing americans. there werwe all kinds of nationalities that died that day.
and that was just an example.
do you have to wait until tehre is a national disaster to help one another?
i can't believe there is no room for improvement in CY. or if the majority of the people there think that, it is just really sad.

I was wrong, I don't think your willing to understand. I gave it you in black and white and still you persist. Most people do everything here through there own, find jobs, buy cars, houses and even finding you marital partner. If you need help go to your own, this is how it is. Other people do exist, but they also cater for their own.

Let me give you an example, my relative is getting married soon, she already has a job given to her using family ties, her house was built by her parents and guess who will babysit...... her own! This is how it is, difference is not bad, it's just different, you reponding in a negative way because you cannot comprehend it.

you are right, i cannot understand it. we are all in the same boat, so to speak.

i am glad i can't understand it.

thanks for trying though.

[GorillaGal]

so based on what Sega is saying, you need help only if it benefits your people. and there seems to be alot of animosity towardds americans for not helping out with 1974? you only want help when you want it.

yeah, whatever. i AM glad i cannot understand it at all.

and now that i sparked something by bring up '74, i will aslo say that is an example, and i will not take bites to sidetrack this thread into what america did or didn't do in '74.

I can understand many things, I do not need to believe that person/individual/race is right, all I need to do is understand them. This comes standard with education, education is all about understanding things you not necessarily agree on. It will take at least 2 days for them to sink in, as it's completely different to what you are use to. But sure enough it will sink in with or without you desire.

You're a pesistent one.

America is on one continent, far far away almost on the other side of the world where we are concerned and Cyprus is a small island on the edge of Europe (it is even disputed that it is not within European boundaries).

Anyway, how is America people our own. We are not American, Americans are not our neighbours. It's true what your saying, but the feeling are more geared towards Greece and the British forces rather than the USA.

You cannot understand it, GorillaGal, because we live in a society that ships its kids off to daycare and its elderely parents to a nursing home so it can engage in other things like climbing the corporate ladder, buying the Suburban, and vacationing in Aruba.
