BTW, Jimmy please check the thread "very interesting", there are things that I'd like to hear your opinions...

Ummm... am I missing something? I believe I am the last poster in that thread?!?!?! Unless you want my opinion on what I wrote...?

Maybe you meant another thread...?

I sense from the tone of the messages I have read on this forum that it would take more than a political solution to solve the Cyprus problem. We cannot rely on a political solution to solve the Cyprus problem, we need reconciliation as well.

Rather than arguing about how evil Papadopoulos is or how fat Denktas is, and waiting for them to make the move, we should ask ourselves, What can ordinary people do without their leaders to solve the Cyprus problem?

Dear Alasya,

Why dont we for example start with abolishing the old idea of "Greek to Greek" where GCs simply refuse to do business with TCs unless they are really forced to do so.

I have so many friends with businesses that for example complain that they have applied to GC newspapers for advertising their products, with paying the price for the advertisement of course, but simply were turned down because they were TCs.

And you know there's no English equivalent of that word(Sunnet).

Dear Insan,

The word for sunnet is “circumcision”. And contrary to the popular belief in Turkish society it is Jews, and many Catholics in the west gets it done. The tradition of “sunnet” is not just Islam but actually comes all the way from Jewish roots. That is why we are required to do it, because Islam comes from the same roots as Judaism.

dont worry Saint Jimmy, it doesn`t take long, and they draw a red line before they cut it, just to make sure they dont severe any nerves or arteries.

Yes, well, I think that's a bit too descriptive to suit me

Geez, what would it take... ok, how's this? 76% of me says NO

This is what is meant by inter-communal trade. You should write to the EU commission and make them aware of this.

Is that not prejudism at its worse, and how can we trust gc when your media refuses to accept our business.

Dude, I'm not really sure about the legal aspect, but I have the impression that if they do accept the ads, they can face prosecution. TC companies (those not registered at the RoP Registrar, I presume) are considered illegal in the RoP. So, I guess your complaints should be aimed at the government of the RoP.

RoP

Does that mean republic of papadopulos

RoP

Guess so, cuz those who oppose him would be much more co-operative and helpful to TCs
