[Bananiot]

You never saw the original fliers DT, perhaps they were persuaded to dilute down their fascism by their more "clever" friends. However, your rush to defend them also makes a mockery of the statements by all political parties in Cyprus (bar EVROKO) against the march which has been relabeled as "against illegal workers". If it makes you feel any better, I have an issue against this too, for there are no illegal people and please stop trying to find excuses for these little fascists who just prey on the insecurities and phobias of people in order to sell their ideology to them.

There is only one way to tackle this people DT and if we have not learned anything after the second world war we must be really pathetic. The attitude "they are just a bunch of idiots" is dangerous because it relaxes society until the beast becomes too hot to handle.

May be I am exaggerating (my Xmas gift to you) but ignoring these manifestations is a much more serious mistake.

[Bananiot]

Thanks, you too. Gormiti?

[Oracle]

.... Instead of blaming the bosses who seek cheaper labour .... .

Of course if these "bosses" were "foreigners" you would think it OK that they exploit (Greek) Cypriots!

Oh poor hypocrite and blind fanatical bigot .... and misogynist that you are!

[DT.]

Thanks, you too. Gormiti?

[Bananiot]

For you DT. Please verify what I said before.

Every foreign worker = one jobless

[SKI-preo]

xenophobia kills tourism. Most of these poor immigrants are doing the crappy jobs no modern day Cypriot would do. I'm with Bananiot here- even though I think he is racist & pro -segregationist against me and I want to tie him behind of my car and and do burn outs for 500kms.

Piratis

We should not forget that it was not that long ago that Cypriots were emigrating abroad by the 1000s seeking a better life than what they had in their war-torn and impoverished island. The poor people that come to Cyprus seeking a better life should never be blamed.

However the situation is not as clear as Bananiot wants to see it. His own job was never threatened by these people. If it was, and if he had to compete with a foreigner who was willing to accept a much lower pay for the same work, then maybe he would be able to show some understand to the other side as well.

For a change I agree with Piratis (first paragraph only though) and he might like to know that me and my family was one of the 1000, (how he likes this number!) that emigrated in the early 60's. We came across no disrespect in England where the vast majority of the people were kind and helpful to us foreigners. Only the National Front (still around?) made fascist noises but found no support among the English masses.

Piratis spoils everything with his second paragraph where he is willing to give more than the benefit of the doubt to little fascists who think that their jobs are in danger from under paid foreigners. Instead of blaming the bosses who seek cheaper labour and the state that allows this to happen, he blames the foreigners who snap up jobs just to make ends meet. He also personalises things as per usual. He thinks that my views are directly related to my job! For him, it is impossible that a person may have steadfast values in life, no matter what his personal circumstances are. That is his problem, however. There is no envy here.

Once again you are trying to twist my words Bananiot. I clearly said that those people are not to be blamed.

I didn't try to put a blame on anybody because the issue is complicated.

This is the way I see it: In our world there are the very rich (less than 1% of the population), the middle and low class people of the developed countries, and then the much poorer people of the developing countries.
Globalization serves the interests of the very rich who can get richer by paying less in salaries, reducing their costs and expanding their markets. It also helps the very poor people in the developing countries who can now find jobs and receive wages which are higher than what they received before. The ones who are getting screwed by the Globalization is the middle and low class of the developed countries who will now have to either accept lower pay or stay unemployed. Nobody likes to settle for a worst kind of lifestyle and it is natural to see these people reacting.

[Bananiot]

About bloody time SKI! Do whatever you like with me as long as you are with me not simply on the basis of tourism but on the basis of human values.

[Bananiot]

I am sorry but you are very confused Piratis. Moving human populations have been the trade mark of modern man. It has nothing to do with globalisation. Try again for

it is natural to see these people reacting

smacks of fascism!
