...yes, GG, it is not about "Greeks" or "Turks", this subject. It is about respect, not even as Cypriots, but as living creatures, and the power to choose.

Acts, not words.


.... hello RW, they do not understand Cypriot hospitality.

The extension of Human warmth as you say when an opportunity arises to end another impasse.

We have a task to alter the hatred that permeates from the acts of our oppressors.

As in the words of the great Kierkegaard:

"The task must be made difficult, for only the difficult inspires the noble-hearted".



oh, i understand "cypriot hospitatlity" better than you think i do.....

RW was referring to Bubbles' and Zan's comments ... you were mentioned along the way as being invited (go back a few posts) .... and RW may have assumed Bubbles was speaking for you too (as you were having exchanges with RW earlier) ....

Hey! Firstly I have not been on the forum much these past few days (I do have a life!) and just where is the venom? Good humour, yes, but venom never! Besides, if I really thought that Oracle's offer was genuine I would consider it with pleasure. :) Though in all honestly, I have my doubts! :(

I have lived amongst Cypriots long enough to accept their gracious hospitality thank you very much!
I took your invite - rightly or wrongly - with a pinch of salt as that is how I thought you intended it! I apologise if I am wrong but the words leopard, change and spots did spring to mind! :wink:

The offer was made because you stated you had never been on a turtle watch ... I have easy access and wished to thank you for posting the telephone numbers.

Such absurdity has come to pass since, that Heracles would have given up on his labours .... :roll:

Doubt and worry no longer ... you do not have the necessary qualities to appreciate a turtle watch.

"venom" i speak about the general conversation amongst us, not necessarily in this topic.

...take the invite, grain of salt, leopards spots, or not.

we must act, because as beings we have this choice, alone, in spite of others, or what is past; fear is an enemy to change, which must be embraced. Fear is not "external", and change we find within ourselves.

So I am buggered then? How did my qualities change in such a short space of time? :? I feel hurt! :(
