I don't care for Kiwifruit, Malapapa.

A 'TRNC' loving New Zealander, who professes not to like kiwi fruit? You just do it all for effect, don't you?

Dear Oracle, I will speak on behalf of my close TC friend, she is the only TC I know personally as a friend who does integrate, she is 28 and is learning Greek... and wishes to have the Cypriot flag only... She also wishes for the Turkish army to leave and for the true Cypriots to once again be living along side each other... If only others could see the future through the same glasses, it would be be very refreshing indeed...

Well that's what I would hope Phill. But last time we had a discussion on the shooting of Solomou for trying to lower the Turkish flag, it surmised that a size-able number of TCs would not condemn the shooting. Now, Expat suggested, that not only would they not condemn this atrocity, but perhaps would do similar (unspecified) should any GCs insult the "trnc" flag. This would then be a TC against GC situation, for the sake of a flag.

Oracle, firstly, I did NOT say they would kill, but what would you do to a person who - right in front of you - tried to desecrate a Greek flag or a RoCy flag? There have been cases here in USA when annoyed citizens attacked people for trying to destroy a USA flag.

wrong expat...personally, I do not give a flying fuck...their choice...

It reminds me of a case where 3 tourists, climbed up a pole and stole one of the biggest ozzie flags in Melbourne...cut it in 3 pcs and stuffed each piece in the back pack...they all got caught and believe it or not we didn't put them against thet wall for execution...they faced justice in court...not for cutting it but for stealing it...they got a suspended sentence and thrown out of the country...

you cannot justify murder for a cloth...

You make me sick Oracle, you spend every day thinking of ways to scratch wounds and spark conflict, hate, discrimination then you have the nerve to call others racist. You have made 16900 posts(!) and none of them says anything helpful or peaceful.

What do you expect? She acts for and behalf of Greece; a country that has never respected the independence of Cyprus just like Turkey!

Shut up fool, stop kissing Turkish arse it's embarrassing!

Oh snap, I gave away my nationality? Damn it.. tell me, what gave me away? I bet it the word peaceful, am I right?

Vexilidolotry makes such a circumstance not unusual, I'm afraid. Various countries do have the death penalty for desecrating their national flags, and other countries have lengthy sentences. NZ is one of the lighter cases: The Flags, Emblems, and Names Protection Act makes the burning of a NZ flag punishable by a fine.

yeah and they are third world countries were usually human rights do not exist...like turkey for example...

I would like to see a court convicting a maori for burning a flag...have you got any examples you can post here?...or you wasting our time with bullshit...it's fucking laughable...it's one thing having legislation and another endorsing it...but you have managed to put NZ in the same shit hole as the 3rd world countries...well done expat...

in OZ we eat the animal on our coat of arms ffs...

PS...whats your take on this expat...do you endorse the taking of a human life for burning/mishandling/shreading a flag?

With my interest in Vexillology, I do not take kindly to any desecration of national flags. A person who does that should expect a negative reaction from onlookers or the establishment. As to taking a life, well... you're trying to push me into a stance that you can immediately compare to that shhoting of a Greek Cypriot who was climbing up a flagpole after crossing the buffer zone in order to tear down a TRNC flag. If I say no, then you'll say that I have to call the shooting murder. If I say yes, then you'll brand me a nationalist maniac fror endorsing such an action.
The fact that a person was killed is regrettable, but countering that was the fact that that person was repeatedly warned that he would be shot if he did not desist from his efforts. That person's actions were foolish, and the fact that he was shot was as a result of his foolishness.
