You liberals are very dour lot!

oh so you're making a complaint to the mods of this board about the turkish language.in case you've forgotten this board is about cyprus of which there are turks living so why cant they have some slogans in there native tongue...........this board is not just for you and your one sided opinion's its about debate and if you don't have have people other than gc's on here then there will be no debate...how boring....

This forum never ceases to amaze me. For every subject the majority of you have to get in your "Turkish jokes", that somehow, we are inferior to you.

Theresa, that is true, but I still think that Greek men on the whole are much more attractive then Turkish men.
Don't you agree??

What a joke, how can you categorise an entire race of people ?

It is so heart-warming, Turkish Cypriots using a Greek Cypriot hospital. I wonder when they last paid their taxes?
While you’re at the hospital, have your eyes tested. I have never seen a Turk or Turkish Cypriot that looked remotely Greek.

When you've quite finished your dig at Turkish Cypriots, people have assumed me to be Greek on numerous occasions.

Cream of some young guy?

Typical attitude of personal attacks when things don't go your way.

It seems no-one else apart from pumpernickle and cypezokyli will stand up to the ultra-nationalism of the chucklebrothers "Michael & Simon" on this forum.

Did these people perchance wear dark glasses, have a white stick, and a labrador dog at the end of a leash?

To the Moderator I am making a formal complaint. Why do you allow these slogans in the Turkish “language” to be exhibited on this forum? I thought the lingua franca was English.

I don’t think removing Turkish slogans from this forum will stifle debate. There are many Greek Cypriots here that seem to do a fine job of promoting the Turkish cause.

Yes there are many Turks in Cyprus, especially the ones that dress in khaki and have a taste for butchery. Do they warble that old favourite "It's a shame that fate turned out this way." As they stick the bayonet in some poor soul.

I still prefer my own version. It's a shame that your face turned out this way."

So sleep easy, your pro Turkish anti Greek views will be given a fair airing.

So I repeat, Turkish language slogans should be expunged from this site.

so tell me where i'm pro turk and anti greek ....and what the **** has my face got to do with anything.cor you really are anti every-body that is'nt greek cypriot are'nt you..

[Piratis]

I didn't have time to read the whole thread but one quick reply to cypezokyli.

Have you taken any linguistic courses cypezokyli? I did. And believe me, language is a living thing, it never stays the same.

In Cyprus we speak Greek for more than 3000 years, and our culture is predominately Greek. If you go to Greek islands like Crete, Rhodos etc, you will notice that they also speak a different dialect, which in fact is closer to the Cypriot dialect than the one of mainland Greece.

There is no reason to try to fake history to make Greek Cypriots less Greek than any other Greek. This is stupid.

What is wise is to understand that people with different language, culture etc can live together peacefully without any kind of discrimination. We don't have to make everybody the same "plain Cypriot" to have peace. In fact our diversity and our differences can enrich our island and they shouldn't be used as an excuse for conflict.

so tell me where i'm pro turk and anti greek ....and what the **** has my face got to do with anything.cor you really are anti every-body that is'nt greek cypriot are'nt you..

You have a very high opinion of yourself. Why on earth would you think I am talking about you? Are you pro Turkish and anti Greek?

Incidentally do you have the retention span of a goldfish? Read the previous threads and you might not have to resort to expletives.

[pumpernickle]

Piratus, it is "In Cyprus we have spoken greek for more than 3000 years' not 'we speak greek for 3000 years'.

Otherwise what you are saying is, there is a time cap on how long cypriots speak greek for. it is 3000 years. After that they'll suddenly all start speaking Urdu and dancing round camp fires sacrificing small children to the God of Odin.

Watch your grammar Piratus, you are supposed to be setting an example.

I don't want to sound pedantic but what Piratis actually said was:

In Cyprus we speak Greek for more than 3000 years, and our culture is predominately Greek

Which implies that there is no time cap on the time Cypriots speak Greek for.

[pumpernickle]

Incorrect.

The moderator has used th Present Simple tense. Which means that he is saying greeks generally as a matter of course, speak greek for 3,000 years....thus implying that after the 3,000 years is done, the greeks will presumably stop speaking bubble and start waffling in some other inane langauge no one can understand.

all the while, Greeks from Greece will be saying: "well i couldnt fackin understand what they were saying before, never mind now, the peasants."

Don't you agree??

Oh yes, I mean look at Papadopulous, the man's an oil painting. Eat your heart out Brad Pitt.

On a serious note. If I was to line up 10 Cypriot (5 TC's and 5 GC's) I would bet my bottom dollar that you could not pick out one from the other. So what Michael says holds no water.
