How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

Is it really worth logging on just to post aimless one-liners like the above? :?

That definitely came in handy once when I unleashed an animal cruelty campaign... Image


.... I do recall! :lol: ..... was it against "devil"?

No, it was members that singled out Cyprus as an animal "hell" while overlooking their own country's deeds so I had to give them a bit of a crash course on reality...


This is the one I was thinking of:

Well that's when members should step in and complain.

What you dont mention however is the fact that even "credible sources of evidence" can also contradict eachother, depending on the authors background, interpretation etc.

Again, if you suspect something is being twisted by all means jump in and say so... that's what debates are all about.

How many times have we seen what appears to be a credible source give biased information only to see at the end of the document the authors surname is greek/turkish.

That would be a good enough reason to voice your complain.

In addition, most articles tend to skew toward the popluar opinion of the time so you can never really have a right or wrong answer to any question, you can always find conflicting views from credible sources....

I love those scenarios... it becomes a battle royal to prove that your credible source is more credible than your opponent’s! :)

Truth of the matter is if people want peace playing the blame game and pointing fingers isnt going to get you there.

For me the most important thing is that people be informed of facts and any myths busted so that they can then make informed decisions because I’m confident that the acquisition of truth encourages the desire for peace.

Credible evidence= any lies that support Greek case on Cyprus.

DO you have any evidence to back that statement up?

Asking Bilako to support anything he states as a fact with evidence is tantamount to asking a year old to explain the isosceles triangle .

eye witness statements are credible evidence in a court of law.

Right, so does this forum look like a court of law to you?

They are only admissible when sworn in, and subject to punishment for perjury ....

A forum is about discussion without that fear; so that opinions with the use of oratory can hold sway too ....
