"Zeitgeist" ...... refers to the ethos or spirit of a group of people, that expresses a view or lifestyle practised at a particular period of socio-cultural progression.

The Zeitgeist of the Cypriots is encompassed in their strong sense of duty, in looking after their own.

It has worked well.

With the influx of "retired" foreigners; idle time to fill ... we are being told that's not good enough!

"Absolve responsibility to a Charity."
"Round up some orphans, some elderly, some neglected pets and let's assign them to a Charity."

Come on lazy Cypriots ... you've been doing things your way here for 10,000 years ... but Johny Foreigner is here to change things to how we do them back home!

So why is your Zeitgeist better than Cypriot Zeitgeist?

Oracle,
I've just had a thought! Wouldn't it be wonderful if all the nasty foreigners in Cyprus changed over to Cypriot zeitgeist.
Just imagine a world where there is no animal cruelty and to see all those nice furry pets munching on lanate lollipops, no racism, no exploitation of foreign domestic helpers, no corruption, no litter, and no bitterness because there would be need for foreigners to criticise anything. And, to top it all drivers would actually stop at red lights and be polite.

Whilst you continue with your digs at the natives ...... you conveniently forget that you did not leave a Utopia behind.

Cruelty is big business in the UK.

...... and now it's exported!

And Oracle would heave a huge sigh of relief after finding those leaflets on old peoples homes in her sons room!!!!

It will bring a smile to your face to know that I believe in Euthanasia ....

Hahahahahahaha! Love it...You start off by saying that the Brits are bad for not looking after their own and then you tell us your preferred alternative is to kill those that do not measure up to your ideals......What a mixed up set of ideas you have lady......I wonder what the rest of the Cypriots think of that one.......No more little old ladies dressed in black walking about...Just queuing at the Oracle Clinic of Hogans Run fame, to be murdered!!!

Zan,
Hope the leaflets don't relate to the old folks home in Polemi, Paphos. I've heard horrible things about the place from more than one source

Don't here quite so much about those here do we?

Why would that be any different here?

You see BB .. you seem to think the Laws of Nature work in different ways in Cyprus to the UK or indeed anywhere else.

How many British posters have come on here to specifically praise some administrative practice of Cyprus?

The only praise we here is for something like the weather ... safe! Because it has nothing to do with Cypriots but is a Planetary aspect.

So you and a few others here, condemn the Cypriots, for neglecting pets etc. ...

But that's not enough, there is also condemnation for caring too much about elders and children, and we should not spend so much time caring for them and then we would have more time for our pets.....

So, slowly, the Cypriots change their way of life to this more sophisticated mode of abandoning elders, orphans to "Homes".

And then when the inevitable happens ...... such as administrative breakdown, you have the audacity to yet again post about the malfunctioning of these Institutes in Cyprus.

Regarding your above post highlighting the bad practice of this home in Polemi ...
When I point out your hypocrisy your ONLY defence is that you only hear about the bad ones in the UK.

Why do you not accept, that may also be the case in Cyprus?

I am not asking anyone "to see the other side" or to not be "unbiased" ... these thing are difficult for the average person ...

All I am asking is not to deliberately see things for the worse just because you want to feel better about yourself, maybe harbouring a little guilt for leaving your own culture behind ......

[miltiades]

Of all the words to describe the Cypriot culture and the way of life you chose a German word , Hitler I believed loved this word and used it constantly when wanting to rid Germany of the Jewish zeitgeist and gays !!
No nation on earth can claim to be perfect in all aspects of living. The West can justifiably claim that it has in place laws and governing racism , religious freedoms , the right to vote , freedom of speech a welfare system in most countries and institutions that take care of the old and the infirm , as well as caring for people it also cares for the welfare of animals and birds.
In Cyprus we have the inbred disposition of taking care of our family , alas not of our animals or indeed our immediate ambience , clear for all to see in their every day life.
The influx of Brits has added considerably to the wellbeing of the locals and more so to the welfare of animals and to the surroundings in general. English care for , not only as the G/Cs do the interior of houses , but also the surrounding areas , animals and birds are seen as wonderful creatures not a bloody meal on the table.
As a Cypriot I would like to thank all those Brits who have and still do contribute so much to cultural life in Cyprus , may I also kindly request that they write to Mr Brown reminding him that he hasn't paid his bloody rent for more than 40 years !!! As a matter of fact these "rent" money is put aside year on year and has reached the sum , I believe of some hundreds of millions of pounds. Lets have it Mr Brown we can use it to build a few more hospitals , children's and old peoples homes , sanctuaries for animals and many other worthwhile causes not forgetting the Cancer Associations throughout Cyprus.
On a personal level I would like to congratulate my son in law and my daughter who are about to make me very very happy with my second grandchild , any minute now.!!!! Cyprus here I come

[Oracle]

Miltiades.....

I could have chosen an English word ..... LIFESTYLE ... instead of a snazzier German one.

I provided a definition at the start of the thread so that anyone such as yourself, is quite clear on what I mean ...

Next time I'll provide reading glasses too

Anyway ....

Many congratulations in anticipation of your new grandchild...

And in true Cypriot Zeitgeist ... I cannot resist predicting the sex ...

It will be a boy .... no doubt .... 100% sure.
