Armenian Cypriot doesn't have to be Greek. His culture is compatible with the Greek culture. He is Armenian Cypriot and I am Greek Cypriot. I'm sure he would acknowledge that the majority of the island are Greek though.

So despite the existence of Armenian Cypriots, Maronite Cypriots, Choirokitian Cypriots, and Turkish Cypriots, you insist that Cyprus is a Greek island???

... 'ere what about the Charlie CYs.. and the OZ CYs and others...???

Whilst the Rest of the World have come together as the Family of Humanity for the Games, to celebrate our our Oneness and Sameness, here is a picture of the Black-Shirts, the golden dawn, controlling who "deserves" something to eat and who doesn't, based on their "racial purity".

Thank Goodness 90+% of the Good People of Greece had the sense to tell them to feck off at the last elections, however the neo-Nazi, Hitler-loving fascists may take some comfort from the support of a few of the rabid nationalists here on CF.

Here's a picky, it's one small step from this to the Nazi Death Camps...

File, i dont agree with this "Golden Dawn" party in Greece. Nevertheless, the way you portray them as..." Here's a picky, it's one small step from this to the Nazi Death Camps"... is comical. A man who relies on scientific method to prove an idea, uses false propaganda and hype to portray Greece as falling into the clutches of radical right wingers just because they handed out some "donuts" and coffee. So when can we expect goosestepping Greeks in Athens, with large crowds of Greeks watching them, while dunking their free donuts in their free coffee?.. Me thinks "Betty Boop" should give you a good neck massage to calm your nerves a bit....

Donuts!!!! They're flipping doughnuts reh!!! ...

The picky and the comment demonstrates a starting point, a particularly nasty starting point, but it doesn't stay there if the Blackshirts aren't condemned in the strongest terms and condemned now. Give these Pure Blood neo-Nazis an inch and they'll take a mile (to say the least).

Haven't we learnt anything from history...???

We use either "Donuts" or your way "Doughnuts"(Krispy Kreme hot glazed are the best file...and i do dunk them..dont know if you have them there at " Betty Boop" land)...


We live in a different world today. People all over are more aware of the "unnatural act" of racism. Back in those days "1930's"...there was accepted colonialism, segregation, apartheid and other forms of racism. Greece probably suffered more then anyone at the hands of the german Nazis and the thought of the right wing junta in Greece is still fresh in everyones minds. A party winning 7-8% doesnt make them a threat to anyone its their right as citizens of Greece to express themselves. From what i understand they have lost a few percentage points since being in the Greek Parliament. What country in the world doesnt have its 3 or 4 % who spew their bullsh$%t?

...interesting, because Golden Dawn can be taken as proof, that Greece has a thriving Democracy, given that it can govern with so many expressions of thinking within its electorate toward bettering the Universal Principals the People of Greece, as Greeks, demonstrate in their Goodwill.

illegal immigrants are not the only issue, frankly since i've had to think about it, i've discovered the power of Greek to this day, in that learning it means Freedom; if Golden Dawn was wise they could demonstrate their conviction toward this thinking, being Nationalists, and given that there are Greeks all over the world, their anger should be directed toward the EU, it is likely their problem isn't it, if so many are in transit, so to speak trapped in Greece.

...i appreciate bill's concern, i will take the time to thank him again, as many say Greece is far away, or, thank-providence that i am not a Greek; weird eh, think about it.

if you are Greek, and you ignore "Greeks", chances are you have a Problem, because likely to you, all Turks are "Turks".

I think the clue is in "majority" and "native". Both those apply to the Greek population.

...then the question becomes how these People: secure a Heritance that thrives, is Cypriot, and demonstrates the Universal Principals all Mankind emulates by recognising and respecting the collective they have, as well as what collective Cyprus has.

Bicommunal, (and now) Bizonal are good words to put a definition to under the circumstamces, it allows, for Cyprus, Freedom. it would allow for its Citizens Liberty as Persons too. of course this collective will has the Right to a Country no different to any other, a Greek State because of its history, etc., but as usual Mankind has turned to Greeks, toward the power of their thinking for something beyond what exists already, with practical actions suiting them that demonstrate the goodness in Tolerance and Inclusion.

i don't know Greece, but...

...nothing makes me happier here, meeting men black, from Africa who speak Greek. they are mariners, construction workers and nurses in my world; this is Canada, and i know them personally. what is sweet, their Freedom from this ability, and something old in this new country to bind us. if they are scorned in Greece it is a pity, because Greeks are better than this; Greek is a diaspora that covers the world.

...illegal immigration is wrong, in many cases even this misery is better than where they were.

only one day? don't they give food daily, perpetually?
...good press? or what?

It's not about racism, but taking care of your family. The Greek taxpayers cannot afford to waste money on illegal immigrants, when they cannot take care of their own children.

Maybe all illegal immigrants should be relocated to Canada. I don't think the Canadian government will agree to take them though.

Canada is day and night from Greece. Canada with the exception of the Native America is made of of immigrants from every nation of the world. Canada has more immigrants coming into its country in a month then Greece has had in a decade. The difference is Canada doesn't have a bunch of xenophobic wannabe Nazis running around telling people to go back to there nation.

Canada was built by immigrants. Its cultural background is the one built by immigrants. Initially immigrants of the same or similar background and descent (European). Same with the US and Australia. This is not the case with Greece. Greece can not afford and it does not want and has no reason to restructure its social and cultural background on Muslim/Asian/African standards and principles. Let those who which it do it in their own countries. If Greeks don't want it no one is entitled to criticize them for that.
