You people have shown your true colours one more time. It wouldn't matter if Ghandi was President of Cyprus, you'd still be at war with him.

Just goes to prove that this entire problem is a simple case of invasion and occupation and nothing more. The taunting invaders are to be expected and ignored.


That kind of works both ways DT, if the problem is not Denktash, then its Talat, if its not Talat, then its Erdogan, if its not him then its Buyukanit, if not him then its the Turkish "expansion policy" and so forth.

There just has to be a sinister Turkish cause behind everything.


Why does Turkey have such a big army?

Hellenic MEMES : there are a few you missed Phoenix, Fighting, buggery, rape, theft. May be a few hundred years old but they did exist. Spartans were very proud of their reputation.

more prattle,

all this stuff goes beyond "Greek" or "Turk", or should I say "Hellene" or "Ottoman", you guys don't do your homework, i take the issue of Cyprus more importantly, i do my part to encourge dialog from which I can learn. this serves me, it is not all "fun" and it is with every effort i make Not Hurtful. The humour here is a little stale.

i am sorry, because i know you can do better.

Probably OP is most tolerant since she is still here, but more about memes, for the masses is needed from her, bring more quarry they are hungry.

Repulsewarrior, lets see!

"Useful idiot"

The term "useful idiot" is used to describe a person who is naïve, foolish, or in willful denial, and is being used for political manipulation by a terrorist group or government,

The term can be attributed to Lenin as "Useful idiots of the West", to describe those Western reporters who endorsed the Soviet Union and its policies.

Indeed any form of behaviour can be attributed to memes ... with only some forms of behaviour clearly linked to genes.

Bold words indeed ..... do you have any evidence to substantiate your "opinion"?

I'll give you a clue:

[b]Darwin wars
.... The succession of more or less destructive intellectual superstitions following the 19th-century crisis of faith is clear. First Marx, then Freud and now Darwin has been nominated as the patriarch of an all-encompassing system explaining human life and history. The latest, Darwinian phase is most characteristically expressed by the discipline of evolutionary psychology (EP), which insists that, because we are animals, our behaviour can be understood only as the result of evolution by natural selection.

One of the most famous of these extrapolations was the idea of the meme, tentatively advanced by Dawkins, but now at the doctrinal centre of a large number of academic attempts to make hard science out of sociology. The meme is a theoretical unit of cultural transmission - a short skirt or a pop tune would be a meme. It can be seen as an attempt to scientise the human realm by extending the reductive concept of the atom or the gene to cultural processes.

In the finest essay of Alas, Poor Darwin - "Why Memes?" - the philosopher Mary Midgley quietly and amiably takes this absurdity apart, primarily by asking why on earth culture should be so reducible. She also notes the inhumanity involved in seeing ourselves, as does the meme prophet Susan Blackmore, as "meme machines" - ...[/b]
