I appreciate the OP seemed to be attacking Cypriots, but rather than counter this with evidence to the contrary, people go off at a tangent talking about other shortcomings and other countries..why is what i do not understand.
This is how it looks:
A Cypriots poison animals.
B Yes, but British people are alcoholics
er yes, but what is the relevance!!! - and if you wish to start a thread about alcoholism, I am happy discuss this issue in Russia, where drunkenness is a national sport!
I apologize if i've offended anybody, especially Selena, it wasn't my intention. All I was trying to do was point out that you can stereotype and generalize anything, that doesn't make it true.
Although I do sympathize for her loss, I really do, I felt that I got part of the blame for something I had no part in.
YES, poisoning is a big problem in CY, but that doesn't mean every Cyp is queuing up to buy Lanate so they can poison animals in reckless abandon.
Yes, alcohol consumption is a problem in Britain, but that doesn't mean every Brit is an alcoholic.
Can you see my connection?
