So Saint Paul was wrong then when he wrote that Paphiots are no good and if you come across a good one then he is not a Paphiot. Mind you, he said that after he was whipped 39 times in Paphos, so his view was a little clouded by anger. However, note that even though Paphos was under the Romans at the time, Saint Paul did not refer to Romans, he specifically mentioned Paphiots.

Is it when when expressly and unequivocally said " Anir Paphios oukesti Agathos kian ine Agathos oukesti Paphios " . Agathos , as we now know meant then as it does now , a Plonker !!
Translated to English it goes something like this " A Paphian ain't no Plonker and if a Plonker ain't a Paphian "

You know Miltiades, I had a Paphitis teacher at primary school in Famagusta, at the Mantzourio school, who gave us the same interpretation to the word agathos. Obviously he was objective and unbiased.

Miltiades ... you too are missing the point.

If he grows up with respect of Human Rights as absolute ....as Vodka is he then likely to desire someone who abuses those Rights?

Translated as: "Don't worry, by the time he reaches the age of making a decision, I will have him brainwashed to such extent that he will Never think of falling in love with a Turk/TC, NOT even in his dreams"

If by some twist of politics/morals/settlement issue, said Anatolian settler has transposed to the correct side of that equation; then I would be perfectly happy, since then only the cultural differences would prevail, and I have already stated I do not pass on my preferences to those

Correct side of equation, like converting to christian orthodoxy and him/her confessing that the CyProb started because of turks ?....

But, your preferences visibly stand for a non-turk, dear Oracle..no need to play hide-and-seek game...

I can think of a scenario in which dear Oracle (a.k.a Stella) is participating to a traditional anatolian style wedding of his son..
There lots people firing rounds of ammunition up into the air during night celebrations, and the girl brought upon the scene on a donkey-back with veils...
And the village imam opens up his hands to Allah and saying "Allaahuu Akhbar """.
And our protagonist, Oracle on standby, trying to cover up her discontent with a wide grin on her face, like some poor quality make up dangling down from the face of 80 year old woman..
And what is more, what if the bride/groom's dad happens to be a veteran of 1974 invasion and fought against GCs in Cyprus ?
Ooooh, my God !
Tarararaaa !
Ladies and gentleman, we are sorry to interrupt the transmission of this spectacular wedding due to a technical malfunction..

Precisely , just as I'm !!

On a serious note though I adore every part of our island , everything that makes our people so uniquely distinctly , our "filotimo " (self respect )
filoxenia , prosilosis pros thas ikogeniakas ipochreosis ke ektimisi pros tous sinathropus mas , siggenis ke filous. The same sentiments shared by our T/C compatriots , hospitality , a focus on family commitments and respect of our fellow humans , relations and friends . Known internationally as the Great Cypriot Hospitality applicable equally to the G/Cs , T/Cs Armenians , Maronites and others.

Yep, it's not a wedding if there aren't people driving around in the back of Toyota pickups shooting off their AK-47s... Alalalalalalalalalala!!!!

All charactistics you quoted above are Greek, but because of minded malakia- you named them Cypriot. Meltiadis: When the Greek Repuplic of Cyprus will be established i will personally change the status of Makarios in Throni with yours (status is moving to Throni)

Oracle, I believe that your son will make his choice by his own heart

Why do you assume that people choose their mates exclusively based on their hormones? (heart is just an organ, it doesn't affect the choice in any way)

How you feel about somebody is not affected just by the appearance of that person. You might be initially attracted to a person due to his or her physical appearance, but unless you are very shallow you will also base your feelings for this other person on the views, the culture of this person and many other attributes.

Personally I don't think I could have any positive feelings for somebody that supports crimes against my country and I wouldn't expect my children to do this either. If they did, then I would not be happy about it.

Beyond this, there is the question of language. I would want my grandchildren to speak Greek, and also not to be forced into any religion. Other that this I don't care what ethnicity the persons my children will choose will be.

It was merely a figure of speech, though I suppose I could have expanded a little! I was merely pointing out that I did not doubt Oracle's son being capable of making his own choices in life - it is Oracle's feelings towards this person (if a Turkish person) that I doubt.

If your child married someone with a different mother tongue, Greek should not be a problem for any future grandchildren!
Your own child and yourself would ensure that your grandchildren would be multi-lingual As the world gets 'smaller' by the day, this is surely a positive factor?

Are you saying that your grandchildren would also have to be Greek orthodox?
