So DT, you want me to give you an account of what my son wears at the football matches he watches but you do not want to reciprocate and give us an idea of what you wear. Isn't this a bit one sided?

My son does not have a complex with flags and nations DT. Like me he is a citizen of the world.

I'm glad to hear that bananiot. I just wanted to make a point about asking stupid questions. I do not care what your son wears in a football match and neither should you.

I'm glad someone in the family has his head screwed on right.

Are you denying that Cyprus is Greek?

Is Rhodes or any other Greek island with some Turkish or other minority Greek? Is Bulgaria with 12% Turkish minority Bulgarian? Is Asia Minor with 20% Kurds (and a Greek minority) Turkish?

Who decides what a territory really is? Isn't it its history and its population?

If Cyprus with 3500 years of Greek history and a Greek majority of 82% is not Greek, then how can Asia Minor with 80% Turks and 20% Kurds, where the Turks have only 600 years of history on it, be Turkish?

If Cyprus is not Greek that necessarily means that Asia Minor is not Turkish.

The only thing that stopped Cyprus from being part of the Greek state like most other Greek islands is the force and blackmail applied by foreigners (UK/Turkey) against the native Cypriot people.

So now I ask you: What gives a territory its identity? Its history and the identity of the overwhelming majority of its native people, or what some power can impose on it by force?

If it is the second, then will you also say that Tibet is Chinese, that the occupied part of Cyprus is Turkish, and that everything the Nazis occupied during WWII was German? And if that is the case according to you, shouldn't the oppressed revolt and fight for their freedom instead of just accepting whatever is imposed on them?

So Bannaiot, can you have any arguments to disprove what I say? Or you will just resort to empty slogans and no arguments again?

DT, you first.

[DT.]

I have my views which may differ from what Piratis is saying but I believe the question is directed at you. I'll happily post before if you want me to hold your hand through this and are afraid to answer for yourself. Its up to you.

[Bananiot]

Just, you first, without the sauce.

don't be afraid Bananiot. The man asked you a question if you don't want to answer tell him and I'll help you out.

[Bananiot]

You soon changed your tune
