Thank you kindly,Miltiades...
But we have to unite our beloved Cyprus first.

I promise to live to be 105... If there is a solution by then I will consider it... After that you are on your own,dear friend... :D

Zan wrote:I am not misrepresenting you Bir...You are doing that just nicely all by yourself......You need to get a more balanced view of what the WORLD is like and how the people of the EU got where they are today and how they are misusing that power on a daily basis before condemning your own.....We ran away from Cyprus for fear of being killed and or starving to death........Laws were put into place to prevent that but the so called inventors of democracy seem to use it only when it suits them and sod the rest of us. Their kind of democracy can kiss my ass.......Or real Cypriot if you like.....

I mean...Look what GR wrote as his answer to undemocratic ways of the GCs...



We are not writing well-balanced newspaper articles here,Zan...
We are talking from the heart,jumping in where we have something personal to say about a topic...You are making this mistake...you think that if i criticise our side,i must be approving everything that the other side is doing on that subject. That is not so...You are right to think that I am concentrating mostly on our mistakes. That is intentional. We need all the diversity we can get on this Forum..We will never get anywhere if we all just talked up our own side while putting down the other side all the time...We have a long way to go in accepting self-criticism...But only when we can see the faults of our own side,and can talk about them openly and honestly can we expect to see the other side's point of view...
This is essential if we are ever going to find a compromise solution...When you criticise something or someone,it does not necessarily mean you hate them or everything about them...You could be loving them with a passion and want them to better themselves or not to make mistakes...Like parents who sometimes have to criticise or punish their children...


There is a place to practice these thoughts and then there is the Cyprob....


And please...Spare me the lesson once more that you have more empathy than me.......I fully understand where the GCs are coming from....But as you do with the Turks, I do with the GCs...Tell them where they are going wrong.


Empahy is more than Understanding,Zan...But since you said "please" I will not proceed to give you a lesson on it... :) If you fully understand where the GCs are coming from,tell me why they wanted to have Enosis with Greece??? And do you think they were right???


Who are you asking about...Perhaps the everyday guy on the street..Or maybe the business men...How about the politicians......Which version would you like.......In the end..They were all wrong.



They were all wrong...Well that was nice and simple... :)
It shows you really understand where the GCs are coming from,and you have great empathy for them...We can let this matter rest now,shall we???


You ask a simple question and...........If you haven't paid much attention to all the things I have written about a thousand times then don't expect much back except the insult you give me....Now...do you want to be specific or shall we just play the guessing game you started.......It seems that you think that this question is simple??? :roll: :roll:


So you are not going to offer anything on this Bir????? :?
