Oceanside50, those are excuses like the ones that football teams give after they lose a game. If we were the stronger side and we lost that war just because of those specific circumstances then why didn't we take the lost ground back in the subsequent months or years?

We could have a "rematch" any time we wanted but we didn't dare because we knew that the result wouldn't be any different and that we would end up losing even more.

[Get Real!]

Get Real, the small professional army doesn't need to hire additional privates. Most of those "monimoi" shouldn't have a rank higher than a private and should be turned into privates if they want to keep their jobs. So no additional expenses in my proposal. Such an army will not be able to achieve anything more or anything less than what we have now but it will be much cheaper.

Malakies sto tetragono!

Nikitas, I am not a "defeatist" I am just being realistic. We have already being defeated militarily. Turkey is occupying 1/3rd of the island for 40 years and we say that the solution will be political. It couldn't be more clear that we were defeated and that we accepted the defeat. Now if we don't wake up and recover our economy then we will also be defeated politically and have some Turkish solution imposed on us.

What's the economy going to do for you fool? I thought Turkey is invincible...

It seems to me most of you prefer to keep your eyes closed and dream about the impossible, than opening your eyes, facing reality and actually doing something that will prevent a second defeat for Cyprus. You are leading us straight into another defeat and you are not even aware of it, not unlike what the CNG was doing in 74.

Well that's that then so now is a good time to spread your arse cheeks...

A change in the economy in Cyprus wouldn't do much to me personally as I make almost all my earnings from abroad. In fact I could live anywhere in the world and just change where my earnings are deposited.

What you fail to understand is that Cyprus is broke and our debtors want to close the Cyprus Problem as soon as possible. We need them to keep lending us money in order to avoid a complete bankruptcy because if we were to become totally bankrupt many Cypriots would starve, let alone to have any money to support an army of any size. They are using the power they have over us to force on us a solution that will serve the interests of Turkey, not ours.

What Cyprus needs to do is to stop wasting money in a useless army, and concentrate its efforts in the political and legal "battlefields" where we are not as weak and where we could be stronger if we had a decent economy.

Our debtors have NOTHING to do with the CyProb but if you insist I'll go along with it for a laugh...

But you said we are bankrupt and our debtors are in a hurry so we haven't got time for any of that!

Ah well... I've got my arse cheeks wide open and waiting for the Turkish salami.

Paphitis, in Cyprus the navy is for the pussies who use "meso" to get there. It seems to be the same in Australia if they took somebody like you. And then there all those who use "meso" to get in offices, near their homes etc. And lets not forget all those with "psychological" issues who never serve.

Are well you see, I only lasted 8 weeks in the Navy before I was moved on.

Obviously, my "meson" didn't stack up.

They don't have meson in the military in Australia. To avoid discrimination, everyone is treated like shit equally!

Oh, the Navy in Australia is Blue Water, so you can expect long deployments for months at a time.

Well then, I have a very practical solution for you!

Move abroad because you're totally useless! No more CNG for you and no liability to the CNG because that is what you are!

Everyone wins!

[Atheist]

I am very useful to Cyprus as I pay 1000s of euros in taxes every year. If I left I would be as useless to Cyprus as you are

Liability are the people in the army who take money and provide absolutely nothing. The job of an army is to provide security and protect the borders of a country and our army is not able to provide any of that. It is absolutely worthless.

I would feel much safer without an army since the only thing they can do is harm, such as coups, or having ammunition blow up and destroy our power stations. Not only the army has always been useless but they are a huge liability which has caused zero problems to Turkey but many problems to the Cypriot people.

Respect. Atheist for President. GR for Archbishop.

There you go Atheist, congratulations you won your first TC medal, now go F yourself, take your money and go live in Turkey. We don't need cowards in Cyprus.

Of course you show respect to a wanker calling your shots.

Lighten up B. Nothing he, you or I say will have an impact on the outcome of this long running problem. My father has always believed the GC's will one day achieve their ultimate goal and eliminate every single TC and that my friend will be end of the Cyprus problem. I dismissed it for many years but now I am beginning to believe my dad has a very valid point.
