I support DT's plea to get rid of the flag of both Turkey & "trnc" they perpetuated the force that came in with 1974.

Not until or if we reach a solution, even then yours will represent you and our will represent us with a new for the federal and internaitonal level.

VP, can some of us have your assurance there will be no more offensive flags in your posts?

NO

Oh dear dear.!

That was a trick question, VP and you fell right into it.!

The operative word was "offensive flags".!

So you agree, that the flag of the "trnc" is offensive.!

It's too late. You can't take back your answer now.!

It maybe be offensive to him like the "RoC" flag is offensive to me.

Yeah but, you have agreed with him that the flag of the "trnc" is offensive.............period.! There is no mention of the flag of the RoC, but only the flag in your post.!

Just one more example of you not paying attention to details. You are not as bad as YFred, but you are trying to catch him up..!

So viewpoint after all your Turkish. He is no TCs no right for him to have an opinion that does not include him in general

Could you clarify you dont make any sense.

He must have used the Greek to English Google translator.

No need for a google translate deniz

Could you clarify exactly what you mean then?

The sentences looks as if they met a frantic death. Dont make sense.

Really, Expat, really.??? Now, can you tell us what is it that the Confederate Flag represents and why the American Civil War was fought over, and once you have done that, then come back and tell us that the NAACP are bunch of "pricks".!

You are so sadly misinformed, Kookapu. The Confederate Flag has two very diverse meanings: To one group of people, it represents Southern Heritage and Pride. To another, it represents racism. Now, the United States was founded upon compromise. It was the failure to compromise that led to the Civil War. Now, the Confederate flag flying from the Southern States' capitol buildings was a knee-jerk reaction to the Civil Rights revolution of the 50's and 60's. So groups like the NAACP were right to demand its removal from the State Capitals' domes. But given that the majority of Southerners wanted the Confederate Flag to remain, it wasn't fair to them (you know: democracy), so the South Carolina legilature compromised and removed the flag from the Capital Dome, and instead transferred it to a Civil War Monument on the grounds of the capitol so that the Southern Heritage could be honored. However, the NAACP continued its boycott of South Carolina on the grounds that the Confederate Flag should NEVER be on public property. This issue has polarized the population in South Carolina. The legislature tried to compromise, but the NAACP does not want to do that, and thus are continuing the state boycott. Now do you understand, you idiot?

What I mean Viewpoint don't call yourself a TCs since your not.

[Acikgoz]

Fragnatic, are you at kindergarden?
Just because you don't like what VP says and so he's not your friend, you can't just ask him to leave the sandbox!
If he says something offensive then call him on it.

Be a good sport, play nice.

The Confederation was also a secessionist entity that was considered to be illegitimate by the rest of the United States, so in that respect there is a striking parallel with the situation in Cyprus.

[Acikgoz]

If you are looking for analogies then you must have like principles:

The NAACP fight for the rights of the persecuted ethinc minorities. GCs persecuted the rights of TCs from 1963 to 1974.

My flag represents my identity away from the continued tyranny of the RoC/

Fragnatic, are you at kindergarden?

Is that a garden full of Kinder eggs?

[Acikgoz]

Smelly eggs maybe - with kids wetting and pooping themselves, pulling each other's hair.
