Is the real Cyprus Problem Selfishness

Postby YFred » Sun Mar 01, 2009 3:55 pm

Richard Dawkins coined the term selfish gene as a way of expressing the gene-centred view of evolution, which holds that evolution is best viewed as acting on genes and that selection at the level of organisms or populations almost never overrides selection based on genes. An organism is expected to evolve to maximize its inclusive fitness—the number of copies of its genes passed on globally (rather than by a particular individual). As a result, populations will tend towards an evolutionarily stable strategy.

As this has not happened in Cyprus, was Richard Dawkins right or did he miss an obvious conclusion. Is there a selfish gene responsible for Selfishness, Greed, Racism and Violent Behavoir? Was Oliver stone right with his idea of Natural Born Killers?

Are the worst aspects of human behaviour inhereted or are they nurtured?

Is there not a truly selfish gene that we can tweek and remove all ills of the world including Cyprus so our children can have a better future together?

I'd like to see the source from which you paraphrase the above gobbledygook ...

You ARE going down that route only this time you THINK you can LOCK the Greek Cypriots into getting your way but it’s not going to work because Greek Cypriot dominance is now 100 times more powerful than in the 50s and 60s.

So even if they were to accept your upper house, lower house, middle house, and any other house you want… what bloody difference does it make when someone like Shiakolas can wave his wallet from a mile away and buy anyone he wants? Your politicians will fall to pieces at GC financial muscle… there’s just too much of a gap between the communities for them not to have complete dominance.

If the above is common thought in RoC, I beg to differ.

No it's just desperate horseshit trying to scare you. Therefore, don't generalise! People like Shacolas act for their own financial benefit and don't give a shit about greek dominance or whatever.

I am not scared. TC's will be in one place so they will be able to defend themselves better, not like 63 and They have Turkish Guaranty to protect them.

The real worry is that this mentality is prevelant in the main media, appeals to the uninitated and will lead to partition.

Agreed! :roll:

Remove the Turkish Guaranty and ask the TCs if they want partition or not in a referendum. If the result is not Partition, min 95% of the vote I will change my name to Nigoly and convert back to Christianity.

The Turkish Guaranty is absolutely vital for the TCs. With it we will have peace, without it, its partition.
Your choice. That is not my personal preference; it is fact of the wishes of all TC's.

Understand what you are saying.
I want you to live with me. But if I get mad at you and start kicking the shit out of you, I don’t want that big man over there to come to your aid.

Its laughable if it wasn’t so serious.

You little sod. Don't play tricks like that, making it look like that I wrote that.
