Leave the politics to you , I presume you mean you ?
May I ask what has your "education " in worldly matters achieved for you "dude " !!! I have never been called a dude by anyone .
ps .Which island mentality ought I lose ?



miltiades, in my humble opinion, I think the 'Island Mentality' you should lose is the one you have developed in the island where you now reside.

Your Cypriotness sometimes shines through, pity it has been so contaminated by your adopted 'Island' :wink:

8) there has been a peaceful transition in South
africa compared to what was expected to happen by a lot of Afrikaaners/whites at the time....quite a few i met in Namibia before the end of apartheid were looking to move there because of the backlash they expected against them. And after having their cake and beating it for years who can blame them?
lets not forget either that the Dutch Afrikaans were chased out of their own country for some of their churches beliefs and their radical thinking..and they thought that blood river was a sign from god.....and yes i know that concentration camps were invented by the British.
So tell me....Mandela, Grivas, begin, ghandi, Verwoerd, smutts, shaka Zulu, seretse karma, Arafat, Makarios, Ho che min .... terrorist or freedom Fighter??
In my opinion it just depends on which side of the fence you were on at the time.....
