I hate to say this, but...

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

Its the generalization phenomenon at work again.
It really grinds my balls when people paint an entire population group over isolated incidents.

Have you tried taking them out of the grinder? Just a passing thought?

Listen, just the same as GC, my family also lost land and plenty of it. After 35 years whilst the GCs are allowed to go to courts and ECHR, not one TC has been allowed to do that.

Coupled with the fact that IPC is now set in the north, what are you guys complaining about. Why has the roc not set such thing up for us so we can apply to get our lands back. We must first look at ourselves before starting to criticise anyone else.

Here you are B25, tell me seriously how we can reverse this and I do not mean by writing patriotic jargon in an insignificant forum.

P.S. Where is "Cratos" viewpoint? And, why "Cratos"?

Take note greek cypriots, your economy is not good, you need every tourist pound that you can get, if you start to behave like your turkish cypriot brothers & sisters then you may attract tourists like me!



Though not condoning Rastan comments/actions here, you can easily understand how some will be put off spending any time in EU Cyprus. All for the sake of a few clueless mindless morons that just have to jump in and down the guy because he wanted to visit both sides of the green line!!! ...Bloody Pathetic!!!



He was right in one respect, EU Cyprus ''Does need tourists'', and they need them badly this year. It's no good you burying your head in the clouds here and stating you don't need the tourist income. You rely on around 40/45% of your annual income from the tourist industry, and you sure ain't gonna get that this year.... So Wake Up my friends, or the Real World will Bite you, where it hurts most....

If it's not the cost of airfares that will kill off your tourist industry, it'll be people like you lot, that can't keep their bigoted zealot minds from replying to straight forward enquires of holiday plans from potential tourists...

When your tourist industry goes all but pear shaped, ....Well then i guess you'll be looking for someone else to blame, ...Normality resumed!!!!

Oh no! I've been a bit worried that the problems in Greece and the worldwide economy problems in general might affect the Euro.

Now this - the lack of rastan's holiday spending money is sure to tip the balance - it's a financial disaster for Cyprus.

:lol:
