Who are you going to give it to Simon ? Ask the residents, they want sod all to do with Spain, even the ex Spanish nationals.
What would Spain do anyway. I can see it now, 2000 holiday villas. Sell them to tourists, 1 year later decide to put a road through the middle of them and tell the owners to piss off.
As for independance, on what basis ? where is their income ? they would go bust in two years.

What happens to Gibraltar should be the choice of the Gibraltarians. They recently had their say. A referendum on the rock resulted in 99% wanting to remain British, and rejected any notion of even joint sovereignty. The turnout was well over 50%. You can't really get more conclusive than that. Gibraltar has been British since 1704, and the Spanish ceded it to Britain in 1713. Therefore, British it should remain.

You’re still unable to explain Turkey’s reluctance to “liberate” these Turkic people…

Read your thread again GR, but read it carefully.

I have shown to you that it is not Turkey's place to do so.

It is a bad example, just give it up man let it die and disappear amongst the gigantic pile of shite that makes up most of the CF's archive.

Don't worry people will forget it eventually and you will be cool again :lol: :lol:

You know Turks are just cowards and there’s nothing wrong with admitting it… it’s not your job to stand up for them anyway. :?

Only a coward would parade up and down showing off for 35 years and handing out medals after beating a defenseless country 100 times smaller than them selves! Image

I would accept it if you tied it to a good argument, but you didn't.

You tried to use current political events without carefully examining Turkey's real stance throughout the history of her military actions and messed up.

You could have just stuck to the part about the military parades being very pathetic and I would have still agreed with you but you did not, instead you insisted on pushing your shitty argument forward which is what I was reacting to because it was based on faulty information

Let me also remind you that there are many people on this forum who see their fight against the Turks/TC's as an act of bravery and something to be proud of.

If you are one of these people than you should not be talking.

We have fought you and Greece, as you have fought us and Turkey, and we both lost.

Good night.
