what problem?

Postby pumpernickle » Mon Feb 27, 2006 10:03 pm

has anyone ever stopped to wonder that the incessant references to the Cyorus Problem" merely ingrains into the psyche the notion that there is.....a problem.

But what if there is actually no problem?

What if it's just a bunch of people who think it's a problem and want it to be a problem, but most people are actually fine thank you very much and the status quo will do all just fine. Bye.

Now stop bothering me with your petty politics and non workable ideas.

Half to them, half to the squeaks, no probs.

its all a big mess anyway, the further you go down the road of solving the 'problem'. Title deeds, who owns what, reparations, standing troop numbers, blah blah...Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Just leave it.

Finished. Done. Dusted. Enough. Gone. Bye.

Maybe the violation of humans rights? What problem?
Maybe the altering of the demographic structure of cyprus? What problem?
Could go on for ever but i prefer to return to discovery channel.

BRITISH BASES OUT OF CYPRUS
TURKISH TROOPS AND SETTLERS OUT OF CYPRUS

PROBLEM SOLVED!

ah now we get to the crux of the actual problem.


The mother of all Cyprus problems would be........ NOT having a Cyprus problem - Cypriots would be throwing themselves off mountain tops, they simply couldn't function without a Cyprob. It is after all their main world export and import as well as the reason why they are now a Facteur Major Eu player.


non non non - no cyprob = the end of EurAsian civilisation.

pumpernickle, I assume you are not a refugee so you didn't loose anything personally.
I also assume that you don't care about Cyprus and you could as easily live in the UK or in another Med. island. Did you serve your military service in Cyprus by the way?

So of course there is no problem for you since the Cyprus problem does not affect you personally nor you give a damn about Cyprus as a whole.

I'm with you on this one, pumpy. When you look around there is actually no real problem - everyone gets up in the morning, goes to work, pays taxes, takes the kids to school, goes to the supermarket etc, etc.

In fact, I've met people who've been to Cyprus on holiday numerous times and know nothing of 'the problem'...bliss...

If you were a refugee then you would know what the problem is pumpernickle.

Should we have remained in the tents for 32 years to make it easier for you to identify the problem?

Come on, you lot are the King of Whingers. The reaction of most people on visiting Cyprus is "what's all the fuss about?" - even more so now that you rejected the solution in 2004.

In the north the so-called problem is shrugged off - and these people suffered just as much as you did - they just want to get on with their lives.

A therapist might say it's time to "move on"

Go round the world where there is real bloodshed, poverty and terrible atrocities and watch their responses when you moan about your 'problem'

could not have put it better myself.

I fail to see any suffering, poverty and hardship amongst the veterans and sufferers of 1974, largely because they are either sitting in their 3 bedroom 3/4 million pound house in Golder's Green, with the Merc outside, or they are in Cyprus livin' large and fat off the profits of the 1980s tourist boom.

Get over it.

Come back when you turn into a Rwandan or a Chechnian, and have the blood of your failies indelibely stained on your net curtains.
