Let's get back to the substance : the history of expropriations, land grabs and dispossessions is as bloody as it is widespread. Some seize land and throw residents off directly, others do it by proxy. Some enjoy the expropriations immediately, others in a generation or two. Does the passage of time between dispossession of one and enjoyment by another make any difference to the violence of the act ?
Yes the British dispossessed the aboriginals, but it is the current generations of immigrants - Greek Cypriots like Boomerang included - who enjoy the benefits. The Turkish army dispossessed Greek Cypriots and it is British and German etc homebuyers who enjoy the benefits. Does the fact that the Australian aboriginals were dispossessed over a couple centuries (and continue to be dispossessed today) make a difference to their loss ? If you Boomerang want to put a time-break on land dispossessions then tell us what it should be and why.
There is nothing particularly different and certainly not unique what has happened in Cyprus and it may be instructive to us what has happened in other parts of the world and how they have been resolved.
So long as people cling to the absurd notion that the Cyprus experience is unique and unparalleled then we're screwed and beyond help.
Usually copperline turns to stupidity trying to justify himself...as you can see from the above...
So let me get this straight copperline…you wanna go on comparing what happened 200 odd years ago with the last 34 years…just so you excuse the illegalities…hmmm what a defence….I got an idea coppoerline…why not tell the “turkey=fascists state” when Downer becomes the new envoy to remind him of this, or to make defence case with the UN…
I can see your plead…
copperline..."turkey=fascist state" did nothing wrong
downer….”turkey=fascist state” did nothing wrong?
copperline….But Mr Downer, what we “turkey=fascist state” did is nothing more than what the British did 200 odd years ago in Australia
downer…I see, still thinking 15th century mentality
copperline…what do you mean?..what year is it?
downer…no boy we came out of the dark ages a long time ago, better get yourself a torch
coppeline…a torch, what’s that?…
downer…ohh this is gonna be a long evening…better turn on the lights
copperline…what’s that Mr Downer?
downer…ohh boy…it’s a light switch…I bet you haven’t seen a toilet either
copperline…a toilet?...what is that?
downer….its like a bowl and has water inside, and then you flush
copperline….do you drink out of it?..and what is flush?
downer….no you shit and piss in it...then you push a magic button and everything disappears...
copperline…what’s wrong with shitting and pissing in the open?...I still don't get what is flush...
downer….no, no, no…these days we are civilised…we do it sitting down and in private and then we wipe our bum when we finish...then we flush...
copperline…wiping bums?...flushing?...interesting…how does that work?
Well you get an idea where copperline is going with his argument…
The question I asked you before and you did not answer, why not have a go this time and we will take it from there…
1…are you a a law student in "turkey=fascist state"
Or
2…a 2 bit defence lawyer educated in "turkey=fascist state"…
