First of all though, I was only 11 when the intercommunal strife started and you are hardly in a position to blame my generation. However, if you really need to blame a generation you can go ahead and blame the generation of Papadopoulos, Lissarides, Yiorgadjis who were the warlords at the time, all sporting private armies that had a permanent order. Kill as many Turkish Cypriots as you can for they are preventing the union of Cyprus with our motherland.
Then. I suppose that if you were a German skinhead (nationalist) you would be calling Poland to give back to Germany places like Gdansk and Prussia at large, for the criminal mistakes were made by Hitler and the present Germans had nothing to do with 1940. Perhaps you would be calling France to hand over Strassburg, if you were Le Pen but as you probably know, these extreme nationalist have not even began to think like you.
I know, it is a cruel world, but this is how it works.
Bananiot with all due respect I'm not the academic that has lived a life of theory and schools. Us in the real world of practise do not see a plan on paper and theorise about how good it is. Us practical people can actually visualise and add the human factor (also known as the fuckup factor) giving us a better idea of what can work and what can't. In theory you believe in a united Cyprus....in practise all your efforts are leading us into a dangerous permanent partition.
I'll quote Kikapu again and warn you that any unfair solution imposed/dumped on the GC's will come back and bite Cyprus in the ass again.
Your willingness to agree to everything and portray yourself as the liberal academic who understands this world better than the poor plebs and slobs that live here is sickening. Your arrogance proves one thing, that you are not comfortable and feel insecure in that skin you try to project otherwise your desires for a solution would flow subtly just like Bir's and Kikapu's. You on the other hand have a need to displace your opponent beforehand with characterisations such as skinhead, nationalist, fanatic and generally a non-travelled imbecile as you so politely tried to label me before.
This isn't a classroom, this is the real world and young professionals like myself are the backbone of this world. Stop preaching, shut up and listen you might learn something other than how to order from a taverna in Turkish.
