Can't understand why you have such an adversity to beards miltiades, would it be impertinent to enquire why?.

[GorillaGal]

yeah, i think beards are sexy!
and BTW, i have a pierced nose!

[Eliko]

Oh for God's sake, don't tell miltiades that!, he's your best mate.

I think beards should be taxed quite heavily by our respective governments , also I think body piercing , both of which I personally find unattractive , should also come under the claws of the taxman.
As far as taxing beards is concerned it should be based on the length as well as the thickness and the general texture of the thing , but a substantially reduced rate should be claimable if the bearer of the beard bears no hair on his head. So here you have it , baldies pay a reduced rate ! Women would automatically be exempt unless they have body odour !
Now body piercing , I always wondered what drives an individual to put a nail through his / her belly button or through the chin.
I rest my case Im a bigot and prejudiced , but on a serious note , I have made more than 1500 posts . I have never expressed one iota of malice against my Cypriot brothers and sisters , the T/Cs .I have maintained my belief that Cyprus is and always must remain an independent nation with its own identity.
I have opposed actions that are detrimental to the prospect of our island becoming united again . I have expressed my horror at the killings of innocents regardless of the cause that the perpetrators attach themselves to. The killing of innocents is a barbaric act and the culprits are themselves savages in taking lives of innocent women and children .There is NO excuse for killing innocent people and those that come to the defence of these beasts citing flimsy reasons as to why such acts are committed are misguided.

So how do you equate your statement about 'innocents' being slaughtered against the practise of dropping bombs from 6 miles high on random targets?.

[miltiades]

Eliko , wars have existed for as long as humanity has been on this planet. In the last WW , both the Germans and the allies dropped bombs indiscriminently on towns knowing full well that such action would achieve two things. Kill innocents and destroy the infrastructure of the enemy as well as demoralise the enemy.

During the last conflict between Israel and Hezbollah many innocents were the victims of war.Israel , and I posted this you could find it , was guilty of committing atrocities against innocents in its endeavours to destroy Hezbollah who of course used civilian areas to operate from and indiscriminately fire rockets on Israel civilian targets.
Your comments are directed against America your phraseology """""the practise of dropping bombs from 6 miles high on random targets?. """ is clearly aimed at the USA and you are utterly wrong .
You say random targets , are you sufficiently informed to provide evidence that this "practice " is intentional and planned ? The American people are aware that innocents get caught up in their fight against terror and condemn such actions just as I do.
The anti-American mentally has existed in our world for years and has always provided a scapegoat for all our shortcomings. Look at the Cyprus situation. Who gets the blame , America of course .The fact that the Greek junta orchestrated the coup against Makarios , the fact that it encouraged the return of Grivas and the resurgence of EOKA B , is ignored as that insatiable thirst to blame America becomes uncontrollable.

ps , may I be impertinent and ask whether you have a beard ?

[Eliko]

How much tax would you impose on your mate 'Santa Claus' ?
Dracula had strong feelings about 'Body piercing'
I think you have painted yourself into a corner miltiades.

[Eliko]

You have already formed an opinion of my appearance sir, do you now wish me to confirm it?, satisfy yourself with your vision and add one small adjustment, my Knuckles scrape on the ground as I lumber forth.

Excuse me for rubbing a little salt in the wounds miltiades but there is a small point I would like to make about WW11, the bombers were guilty of in-discrimination in attack BUT, they were also in considerable danger of retaliatory action from the ground and air forces of their opponents, it took a degree of courage to venture into the areas of contention, sadly, this was not the case in the cowardly offensive against Iraq.
