No! It is never too late. We still need Greece today. Greece was essential to Cyprus' entry to EU! If we told her it was too late, we would never have entered the EU, or at least would have had huge problems doing so. The junta did not represent Greece and you cannot forever blame Greece as a whole for this junta. GR needs to get over it and take a more progressive attitude. Telling Greece to get lost will not help anybody but Turkey.


You tell em Simon. I am going to open another cold one.

On top of that, I’ve also noticed that the Facebook website has like a dozen Active-X controls requesting to run upon entry! I know that because Active-X controls are forbidden from running on my main PC without my permission so I end up saying "no" about a dozen times the few times I've been there. (A pain in the arse but safe)

If you MUST join Facebook don’t post any of your personal details if you can avoid it.

I was just highlighting your contradiction. :roll:


Neo-Cypriot? Do me a favour... I've been a Cypriot all my life; my parents were Cypriots and their parents too. Go back a further generation and who knows? And the same goes for most Cypriots - whichever prefix they choose now to attach to themselves, following the 1960 constitution imposed on us by foreigners.

"Neo-Greek" might be a better description for you. As the mythology you espouse about yourself was learnt: at school; at church; at youth club; and/or from home... from parents and family members who similarly learnt it. But you certainly weren't born with the notion about yourself.

BTW, I know "neo-Cypriot" is a derogatory term used to label Cypriots who are happy to face the world without a prefix but be careful when using it to describe named individuals in print. I have taken legal advice and the term is potentially libellous, as it suggests other terms like "Neo-Nazi" and "Neo-Fascist" and the political extremism they imply.

If you want to add a prefix, and do so safely, I suggest you add the following: "Proud".


Being Greek was never imposed on us, your neo-Cypriot ideology was imposed by foreigners and you have been brainwashed with it. What I have learnt about the Greeks is from my own independent study. So aim your silly presumptions elsewhere. Perhaps you read the Cyprus Mail too much? I consider "half-hearted Greek" to be a derogatory term, so use this label against me, then I will continue calling you a neo-Cypriot. Do your worst with your libel action! :roll: What suggests the extremism is not the "neo" but the "Nazi" or the "Fascist". :roll: :roll: "Neo" just means recent or new. :roll: Where did you say you got your legal advice? I suppose when political commentators called Bush and his friends Neocons they all got sued... :lol: :lol: :lol:

I don't know about a virtual CIA coup, but at the individual basis things can get VERY DANGEROUS especially for those traveling to the US. Bush's terrorist laws are still well in place with Obama having done nothing thus far, and Guantanamo is no tropical Golfers club!

If none of the above applies then please do not vote!

You ever thought of a poll asking those non-Cypriots (and non-gGreeks and non-Turks) their views? It would be interesting to get their bent...

Relax Simon, I didn't take legal advice because of what you wrote... I don't suppose either of us can libel each other in an anonymous forum.

And I apologise for calling you a half-hearted Greek.

How do you you account for the fact that Cyprus is far more more advanced in every field from Greece. Why do you think that Cyprus was not capable , on its own merit , of meeting the entry criteria into the EU.
Bulgaria , Malta , Poland all successfully met the prerequisite criteria why not Cyprus Plonker , did we really join because of the Klamaras influence . Bollocks mate !
Malta is a much smaller island than Cyprus , whose help did they get , dont tell me , Greece !!!


Firstly, Cyprus is not far more advanced in every field! Complete bollocks plonker! Where did you get that nonsense from. Secondly, I am not referring to Cyprus meeting the criteria. I'm talking about the EU refusing to allow Cyprus into the EU without a solution to the Cyprus problem. This at one point was a serious issue. Greece threatened to veto every other accession unless Cyprus was allowed in. Understand the facts before you open your mouth plonker!
