I must apologise for not taking notice of the older and wiser members of this forum who advised me to ignore Get Real. In future I will listen to what they have to say.

Danky , as you get older , just as I did and hopefully will continue to do so , you learn somethings that only age can teach you .You begin to appreciate so much that as a youngster you took for granted , thinks like the birds , wild life , sceneries , human kindness , human weaknesses and human stupidity . How on earth can anyone with half a brain justify the act of a deranged lunatic who blows himself up on a bus , in a mosque, in a market , at a funeral procession murdering innocent men women and children , unknown to the savage who had his brain filled with so much shit that he / she believed that their vile act was holy !!!!
Some on this forum justify or equate such obscene disgusting murderous acts.
They are on this very forum.
Over the years I have had numerous heated exchanges with a number of forumers , not least the one and only our very own incomparable GR.
Ignore him if you can , I most ceratinly do not ignore him I just feel that in time he may remove his blinkers and see the light.

Miltiades ... maybe those people ("deranged lunatics") don't have the hope of wealth, good fortune and the peaceful, privileged existence you enjoy in carefree Britain.

Miltiades, you missed out on the two most important things in life which explains why you’re such a delusional nincompoop…

1. The birch
2. A tertiary education.

Now, I don’t ever see you enrolling in a college or university because you haven’t even completed your secondary school, but the birch we can still arrange because there’s no reason why an old dog like you can’t learn new tricks with the right encouragement…

O, I have always been impressed by the sharpness of your wit and the transparency of your intellect but alas not the forebearing of your common sense.

Oh dear, it really upsets me to see this squabbling between forumers (save it for the mainlanders and carpetbaggers) , can't you agree to disagree and show a little (misguided?) respect for each other's point of view. Milti was simply expressing his affection and appreciation of the medical profession, there was no need to pick holes in his post and throw it back at him. For the record, I disagree with his view of the US and Israel. I strongly disapprove of suicide bombing but I understand their sense of impotence and desperation against an armour plated foe.

Generally I agree with about 75% of what Milti says, I see no point in giving him a kicking over the other 25%.

I did , I did go to school , 3 years in all , which Mr Plonker is 3 years precisely more than you did !!

You have to face up to it sonny boy , you are no match for Milti , I can ...drink you under the table any time , excluding Sundays !!

Over the last 7 and a half years I have have had the unenviable task of having to find my self in situations where demanding circumstances forced me to become disparagingly analytical of the medical profession and in particular the front troops as it were , nurses , Doctors on duty etc.
I can honestly say with first hand experience both here in the UK and in Limassol that the level of professionalism and care have been superb.
A small percentage of my personal experience was gained in Limassol at the Polyclinic but in particular the Doctor who looked after my wife , Dr Demitris , up to that time , about 5 years ago now , I knew very little of the true professionalism and dedication of the Cypriot medical professionals.

Last Friday , on visiting my wife at the Royal Marsden Hospital , I met a young Doctor who was so caring and so patient with my wife's persistent questioning I couldnt help admiring the way he handled some rather difficult questions from my wife who after fighting cancer for the last 7 and half year has become a hardened "" interrogator "" , her defence mechanism as I decided it is.
I looked at the name badge of the young doctor and wandered as to the origin of his name Dr.Panai .
He spoke fluent English without the slightest trace of an accent.
I couldnt help my curiosity and wanted to ask where his name originated from. Before I had a chance to do so he lowered his voice , turned to me and said , are You Greek Sir ? No I replied, I'm a G/C !!
Milate Ellinika he asked . But of course I replied !!
I saw Dr Panayioti on Saturday and Sunday.

Earlier on this evening on arriving at the hospital and entering my wife's room , a doctor was in attendance , before I could say anything he looked at me and said , Yia sou Yianni , your wife told me me about you , I'm Dr. Demetris !! Not the one from Cyprus I hasten to add , this Doctor came from Larissa !!

The moral of the story , thank God , even though he doesn't exist , for the West and our dedication to life and the sanctity of life , our commitment to taking care of the less fortunate amongst us , our dedication and perseverance in constantly researching in order to discover treatments to help alleviate decease and suffering , something that the father of medicine hundreds of years ago must have had in mind in devising the great medical oath .
To think that people blow themselves up causing death and horrific injuries , unimaginable.
Long Live The West !

What a succinct and perceptive post, Miltiades. Everyone knows that doctors and nurses outside the 'Western world' show no compassion or empathy with the patient. Only healthcare workers in The West have these qualities. And those nasty 'Third World' doctors refuse to use the most advanced treatments available in The West, always giving that pathetic excuse that apparently they can't afford it. They know nothing about dedication and perseverance. As for sanctity of life, people outside The West have no respect for this, and feel no remorse or grief when their patients or relatives die. The real moral of your story is that you have a deeply disturbed view of humanity.

Yup, the birch in conjunction with a proper education would’ve done wonders... even for Miltiades!

Our stance against all things illegal is paramount as Cypriots seeking justice, for we cannot pick and choose which violations of international law are valid!

Yup, I'm educated to my eyeballs, and was regularly subjected to corporal punishment at school, and look at how wise and sane I am!

But Miltiades needs to take of his West-tinted spectacles.........
