to be honest i think its rather twisted and sickening that a child at her age is already being brought up to hate another nation for reasons way beyond her comprehension, and this kind of upbringing is probably at the very root of the problem in cyprus, wether its in the south or in the north....

Actually shahmaran, what is really twisted and sickening is for you to pretend that you can't appreciate that it is perfectly normal for an intelligent five year Cypriot kid, raised in a perfectly normal, loving environment in Cyprus, to perceive war as consisting of fighting between Greeks and Turks.

well its my 1st post here and i really dont want to start on the wrong side, but i just found it shocking that the imemdiate idea of an enemy from a five year old happen to be Turks... (or maybe not so shocking)

What is there to love in those that kicked you out of your home? The root of the problem is the occupation the hate is the result! You can't expect the result to end before the cause.

[shahmaran]

sotos i dont really want to go over the whole story again but i believe the hate came long BEFORE the occupation, the occupation was there to stop the violence no?

i think the cause would be discrimination and the kind of sweeping statements like the on you have just posted, that girl has not lost her home nor has she killed anyone from the north so there is no need for this reciprocal hate to continue any further through out the new generations, once this has been established then we will find that it would only make sense for cyprus to be one united island with a lovely multicultural population living in peace...

Yeah, just like Hitler invaded the Sudetenland only to end Czech ‘atrocities’ against the Sudeten Germans. (Really, your avarage German did actually honestly believe the news stories in the Nazi press of German Sudeten Women and Children supposedly been Mowed Down by Czech Armored Cars or being attacked by Poison Gas in Aussig).

oh im sorry i didnt realize that Talat and that fucking Erdogan were on some secret campain to wipe out the greeks and make the perfect human race out of us, but u clearly have some very good inside connections that keep you up to date with govermental secret missions LOL...i think if the Turks did wanted to wipe you out they would have done it long time ago since they had the chance for over half a millenia or so dont your think?
