The rest believe what the TV news says, even less reliable expecially when the Cyprus Eurovision Song Contest entry is shown in it's entirety before news of the Chinese earthquake and the Burma typhoon (Myanmar if you like)!



Sadly, this is just the way of news agencies all over the world. In the UK we always get the stories about 'a brave British soldier was killed in Iraq today' but never the ones about 'British forces sprayed 50 Iraqi's with bullets today'. Whenever there's something unpleasant going on they just cover it up with stories about local farmers growing huge vegetables, sporting events, the royal family or children playing with fluffy bunnies.

Your radar needs realigning! The one thing I am definitely not is an enemy to the Cypriots.

I am however someone who can see the good and the bad and don't tell me there isn't any bad.

Miltiades,

I did add Etc...........!


I do not deny the bad .... only that there is only bad in "one" against "all".

Eliko is going to love you.....

We will see how you fair in your seeing bad equally in everyone, and not just the chosen few :wink:

Halil lives at Northern Cyprus since 1957 and it was a Turkish Cypriot village . Halil is a Turkish Cypriot and be proud of , what he is !!!


Halil I'm just saying what you wrote back when. I do not have the quote in front of me and I'm not going to search it. Perhaps you meant for it to sound something different than it came across, but I remember even DT questioning your statement at that time.

No one doubts you being a Turkish Cypriot and being proud of it either. I was trying to make some points to Bananiot.

But here is another quote you made, which was "the AP gave you everything that you wanted so that you can be your own efendi in the north".

Is this one also wrong.??


This one is correct . still i am supporting the Annan plan or plans similar to annan.
it is true i would like to rule myself not someone can see me as minority.

Bananiots or DT knows me better than you .
With DT we talk many things and we discuss without blaming eachother .

İf you don't understand what i am saying you got to prove it and search for it .what you do is only ''Çamur at , izi galsın '' i don't give misinformation as you do Kikapu . How come every land in north belongs to Greek Cypriots and They are stolen land . Nothing we have .....
when the people says like this , you wanting me to shut my mouth . İ will not . İ will tell them all about the TC's villages at north before 74 and i will tell them how we were at enclave before 74 and what kind of the changes we did have after 74 . Which is very important for me , which you don't see it .
Doesn't mean we dont have to try to find better solution in Cyprus . İf i was thinking the way we are living is good enough , i will not say yes.
There is a differences between you and me , i am thing BBF solution in Cyprus .This is my choice . i do have respect to others ideas too . you should have mine too . İ belive this kind of the system will be better for Cypriots and i can see this system gets good support from most of the countries too .

I see the bad, but often realise that it is not worth commenting on as the one with the bad is unable to see that he/she is being bad. Whatever you tell them.

As I enjoy a lively debate, I will often take the opposite view to what I believe, just to stimulate discussion. However with some people this is pointless because all you get is the same old rhetoric.

Fortunately on this forum most people seem reasonably well informed, but that doesn't stop them from being blinkered. At least there is something worth talking about. The normal situation is that people are not informed, except by the BS they are given by there freinds and relatives, which makes a discussion very difficult! Too many people do not dig further in order to form their own opinion, they just take on someone elses.

GR, I expect nothing, I am free of ambitions. I am free! I was born a proletariat, I will die a proletariat. I am free of nationalism and full of internationalism. I am a citizen of the world ...


Shame you dont know much about the world away from the shores of Cyprus. You've shown that over and over again.

Bananiot you are here to seek attention by going against the grain of the Greek Cypriot cause, with your niche being that you are apparently Greek Cypriot. For the sake of silly politics you are willing to abandon Cypriot human rights in Cyprus.

Are you a Buddha? Maybe a Messiah? :?

From where did you receive such assured insight; I would like some ....

Still searching! :roll:

Oracle,

This insight is to be found at the bottom of a glass of KEO (or 5).

No Halil, I do not give misinformation. Perhaps you do not remember what you wrote in the past, but don't blame others for remembering what they read.

No one said that there are no TC land in the North. There are TC land all over Cyprus, but you cannot deny that large majority of the land in the north belongs to the GC's, or do you think this is also a misinformation.??

Living in a country with different ethnic groups does not make one the masters and the others foreigners or minority in meaning second class citizens. We have 4 ethnic Swiss living in Switzerland ranging from 1%, 10%, 20% and 69%. Even the foreigners do not feel like second class as immigrants. This has to do with True Democracy and not undemocratic process. Every ones civil and Human rights are respected and are all treated same under the laws of Switzerland. The same can be done in Cyprus without division and partition.

I'm not against BBF if you read anything that I have written. I'm against BBF AP 2004 style that only creates more problems than it solves. You kind of AP got 76% "NO" from the GC's, therefore AP was not the solution, was it Halil.?? What one wishes and wants and what is a reality are two different things. I'm looking for the long term peace settlement between the GC's and the TC's and not short term "victory" by one community over the other.

Just like you, I want the best for the TC's, but it cannot come at the expense of others, otherwise we have not gained anything but problems later on. I do not respect "hidden agendas" by anyone who are only interested in wining one over the other community. I do not want this to be done by the GC's against the TC's and I do not this done by the TC's to the GC's. We need to have fresh and honest discussions during these settlement talks to get the results what most Cypriots can live with, otherwise it is only a matter of time before the war comes.

Excellent! ... Only because you did not mention that Turkish one :wink:

(I can't stand either type though).

OK we have either established that you are genuinely non-partisan ... or very clever :wink: (or I am too stupid and tired and distracted to fathom further for today).

Good luck and welcome. :lol:

Oracle,

The Turkish one is not bad, but KEO is superior. Mind you Nigerian Star is pretty good, although it is a long time since I drank any.

You can keep the American stuff, in any decent beer drinking country they would have been humane and shot the horse that produced it!

Thanks for the welcome, I hope neither of us comes to regret it.
