The notion of race/ethnicity is very much outdated.

Really? Says who?

Most people, including Cypriots and Greeks!The younger generation, which you are clearly NOT! I swear you belong in 19th century, early 20th century, when 'Aussies' were going to war for 'King and Country'....

It is the 26th of March, 2010!

Doesn't hold true where I reside at the moment, or even where I reside temporarily.

Care to substantiate that statement?

All you have to do is travel the world to see how even the Americans, Australians and Canadians have invented their own ethnicity. This ethnicity also comprises a Cypriot element!

How do you fail to notice your own contradictions?

First you claim :

The notion of race/ethnicity is very much outdated.

Then you " attempt to "support" this by saying:

... even the Americans, Australians and Canadians have invented their own

So what's it to be?

Is ethnicity "outdated" or being "invented" to this day?

Not a contradiction at all. The Americans, Australians and Canadians are the most internationalist of them all, and hence they are more 'Hellenic' than you, since they have the vision you don't, and have built a nation from all nations!

In the same way as the visionary Turks have built a "nation on Cyprus", perhaps?

And you are assisting their "nation" building on Cyprus.

How could I be? You are the one extolling the virtues of parallel "nation building" in other colonised territories.

Did the Greeks colonise Cyprus or not?

I hope so!

Are you now going to equate the rapidly-enacted atrocities of the last few centuries by imperialists, with the gradual migratory movements of people of 10 - 20,000 years ago? Or, do you have some specific "invasion" date for Greeks colonising Cyprus?

"10,000 - 20,000 years ago" .... What!!!! So the Greeks are not just neolithic but pre-neolithic. And these neolithics were, according to Oracle, not only coming to Cyprus but already Greek. Wow

Only problem is that Hellenic Colonisation occurred between 1300-1100BC, and at that time there were already Eteo-Cypriot or Aboriginal inhabitants on the island.

CopperLine, Oracle doesn't know what she is talking about. She is quite happy to apply one rule for those she deems to be "imperialists" and quite another to Ancient Greek colonisation of Cyprus.

A very stupid logic, since we all know, that Cyprus, Australia, the US, Canada would have been claimed or colonised. She, insanely expects, that once Europeans landed ion those shores, they would just simply leave because they saw some natives with their boomerangs and spears!

[Get Real!]

Let's not forget that by the time the New Testament was written, Greece had long conquered the bulk of the known world, had established medicine, mathematics, philosophy, astronomy, cosmology, drama, poetry, sculpture, architecture, etc etc. ... So they were so ingrained in every aspect of everyday life, they were naturally the least mentioned. Taken for granted as omniscient and omnipotent! .....

That's all debatable but we'll look at this in the near future.

4) I don't want to ruin other members social needs/requirements such as what was mentioned by you.

You mean like Oracle’s need to fall in love with a Turkish settler?

I defend anyone whom I believe is being treated unfairly.

How do you know GR! was being treated unfairly such as to attack someone (E) who did nothing more than browse and quote what was on your forum?

Surely the unwarranted attack was on the person (E) who inadvertently stumbled on the day the web-page actually had that message (before you deleted it). So how are you being "fair" by accusing someone (E) when you (and I) know all along he was right?

I am being fair!

You've been forgiven on account of I know you follow in my footsteps; Epiktitos was an unwary spectator to your madness; and Paphitis loves you and wants to emulate you so much he will compromise himself into all sorts of positions to protect your honour!

GR! never attacked E.

It was E that attacked G, unfairly in my view, which is why G was 'protected'.

Likewise, it was member G who attacked or was having fun at O's expense, unfairly in my view, which is why O was 'protected'.

I try to be as fair as possible, and don't hold any malice towards anyone, including you. Again, if you are treated unfairly, then I will try to stand by my own morals/standards and 'protect' you (I'm not saying you need it).

If E is attacked unfairly, then I would 'protect' him as well.

You’re both crazy… it was an obvious (typical) GR joke for a laugh, but you lot have made such a fuss over it that I’m starting to wonder if you’ve got a sense of humor! Is my talent being wasted?

Hang on - I've already received credit on account of it being a product of my delusional imagination!
