From previous views expressed by your elf,

Schnauzer has an elf? Where can I get one?

Schnauzer

You are undoubtedly an educated person and an honourable one too.

One only post please to back up your rather absurd and quite laughable statement.

Since you have mentioned my 'Honour', I am obliged to answer truthfully that the object of my raising this topic (copied from that which was written 3 years ago 31st August 2010) was merely a ploy to test YOUR response to the resurrection of it.

You passed with flying colours and I look forward to many polite and meaningful (non political) exchanges in the future.

Incidentally, I cannot recall many occasions where I have actually 'Debated' politics, NOT one of my favourite subjects I assure you, I have always relied upon actual experiences to bolster my views and NEVER relied upon the 'Wisdom' of politicians in an attempt to form MY opinions based upon nor influenced by THEIRS.

I do hope I have explained my position and I trust you are in good spirits,

Kindest Regards..........................Schnauzer. (don't forget the 'c')

This thread should be titled as follows:

"Award of Merit" to GR! - for agreeing with my political views!

Which "political views" are those? The ones when you believe you are "Greek" or the ones when you think you represent "Cypriots" - maybe even "Choirokitians" - or the ones where you are simply a "native Australian"?

Wherever I lay my hat ...

I think you misunderstood.

I was referring to the political views if Shnauzer and Get Real who both seem to agree on most things and seem to have some deep feelings and opinions about certain countries hence this "award of merit".

I am very much an Australian, but I would go further and say that I am a person of the world. Fortunate to travel to many places, and the more I do, the more I understand and know that the world is a wonderful place and am fortunate to have met really great people of many nations.

It is true that I was born and grew up in Australia. Unfortunately, there are only 2 countries, maybe 3 where I would like to raise my family. But I do have a genuine concern for Cyprus and I speak for myself not all Cypriots. That is why I sometimes read this forum. I also have a genuine concern for Greece and can identify with both Cyprus and Greece very well, but I sadly can't live in neither no matter how much I would like to. I may seem to come across harsh at times, but don't let that mislead you. I could come across harsh because I feel, like many Greeks, that it is needed for better days because to this date things have not been so good.

[Paphitis]

Shnauzer,

welcome back!

Your thread is flawed for a number of reasons. Firstly, Get Real is not the only person to provide factual analysis on this forum and defend values and opinions in a tenacious fashion. There are many more who do the same. But he IS a person that expresses his disdain of those countries mentioned above. You could say that some is warranted, but this is not the case every single time. But since he agrees with your village Cypriot mentality of criticizing the US, Israel et al even when the analysis is flawed or criticism is not deserved, then that is a reflection on both you just like it is when someone sees it fit to open threads about a mythical Jew from London, who did certain things to warrant him being thrown overboard in the Thames with cement boots.

Then, you shamelessly attribute the "The Sun" to all those that do not wish to jump on your band wagon. Well, that is most ridiculous because in this day and age, most younger people get their news online from alternative sources such as Al Jazeera, The Onion, Huffington Post etc. Murdoch is just one facet, but the internet has allowed millions to gain a very informed analysis of what is occurring around the world and they are intelligent enough to form opinions one way or the other. But effectively, you are saying that those that do not agree with your analysis and opinions are automatically "Sun" readers. Well, that is OK Schnauzer, but since we are playing that game, then allow me to say that both you and Get Real should stick to reading Women's Weekly and that both of you should stay out of politics because it is not a game where either one of you can come along and mouth off just because you don't like America or view them as "evil". You need to have clever and factual analysis, and where warranted your credibility increases when you are both capable of also attributing some credit to the many good things they may be responsible for. For example, many Afghans do in fact appreciate the good that has been achieved in parts of Afghanistan by getting rid of the Taliban. Life has and is still improving for regular Afghan citizens without the Taliban and those Afghans are most appreciative. This of course is highly subjective, but it does not absolve anyone from analyzing the situation on the ground in a fair manner.

Basically, since Miltiades is absent, let me just say:

THAT YOU ARE ALL A BUNCH OF PLONKERS who believe politics is like a football match.

You talk about America this and America that. Amerikanothaktilo and so forth. Some of you talk about the Brits in the same fashion. Israel too.

But all of you have no right to be playing Russian Roulette and just so that we are clear, I hold your generations personally responsible for the current occupation in Cyprus, and my generations and others that follow have to try and clean up the messy legacy YOUR generations left behind all because you are all too bloody stupid (Makarios + AKEL) to keep your personal feelings out of politics and behave in a manner that has just one sole purpose in the interests of the RoC.

IDIOTS, the lot of you!

Paphitis, thank you for your welcome and may I add my thanks for your straightforward appraisal of my political views?.

I am quite comfortable to accept that what you have written is precisely the same as that which you would say to me were we to meet, such a quality is creditable and is worthy of respect.

I must now re-assess my own contributory style since you have (and I would not question your sincerity) highlighted certain
negative 'Traits' in my posts which are of great concern to me.

I would question your impression that I am 'Racist' or 'Anti-semitic' and must inform you that I am neither, nor am I in any manner 'Xenophobic' (although I readily accept that I AM prone to clear the air of any ethnic or other differences should there be just cause to so do) I am obliged to adopt such stances from time to time in order to perform my given tasks.

As to 'Politics', I very seldom engage in any 'In-Depth' exchanges on the subject since I am far too HONEST (imho) to do so, I find the subject (particulary relevent to Cyprus) to be a complete waste of time since, whatever views WE may have about what is best for the country, it's future has already been thoroughly researched and decided and WE SHOULD ALL KNOW IT regardless of whatever snippets of information the 'Powers that be' allow to filter through, hence my reference to 'The Sun' and your interpretation of such that it tarnishes the perception of the masses. (which in theory I think it does 'en bloc').

I cannot dismiss your overall perception of that which I have written in the past, some of my contributions were merely an attempt to inject a little 'Levity' (never 'Brevity') into periods where matters 'On Forum' were becoming rather stressed, I am surprised at the reception some of them have received, I can only account for such by assuming that 'sense of humour' is the culprit.

I do have to endure periods of time where I live rather a reclusive lifestyle, perhaps such existence is responsible for any of the shortcomings you have indicated BUT, my observations/opinions/views are the product of what I have seen felt and experienced first hand, they are NEVER based on information gleaned from the media and furthermore, my expressions are my own, NEVER plaguarised from another source in the hope that the wisdom (or not) be attributed to myself.

Thank you once again 'Paphitis' and my compliments to any other member who feels as he has stated.

Footnote:- I am disappointed in that you found it necessary to end your thoughtful/fair comments with a 'Milti Special'.

Fair enough Shnauzer.

I don't believe you have any shortcomings and even if I did, who cares? I also don't think you are racist but sometimes you could come across as racist. I can to and I probably am racist. But then I seem to come across the most amazing human beings from those races and things seem to balance out.

I must remember to moderate my responses!

[Get Real!]

Special thanks to my admirers Paphitis, Milti, Oracle, and DT who have come forward to pay their respects and offer their gratitude in their own special way.

I’m really touched guys…

Glad Miltiades is still around.

Greetings to all.
