You are categorizing people according to race/nationality which is the same as categorizing them according to their skin colour, gender or hair distribution :P


Nothing wrong with that , people have a race that they derived from and people classify other people by the race that they belong to or are attached to. A Scotsman , Englishman , Welshman , Cypriot , Turkish Black or Asian , Arab or Jew , what is wrong with that , a perfectly natural human tendency to put people into the categories they see them as belonging to .


People should be judged as individuals anot according to what race they come from...

You can catgorise them, but not judge them by race...



Totally agree!!

I think you may be right Carleen. Some people will just not listen to reason and make comments without fully thinking them through. Some people are really defensive too, even with the most innocent of comments.

It really is not worth rising to it.

Exactly. I want to be judged for the person I am not where I come from.

We came to Cyprus for a better life and it is just not the place for us.

We will remain the open minded decent people, as most are on this forum. To attack English people is saying it is ok to attack the Cypriots and that in not right either.

I feel really sorry for some people after reading some of the posts. The tables will turn as they say. They cannot get an enjoyment from attacking people surely.

pole was for you and its clearly stated that its not for all english. because you stay in south you are judging everything one sided without going and searching for the other side or listening the other side. You trying to support GCs even arguing that Turkish is not the language of Cyprus. You telling many sad people you see around but you cant see the real situation. Only you trying to judge everything how your husband orders you. If its me i will do my search at my own by listening the 2 sides if you are so interested with the Cyprus problem

Yes Carleen. Turkish is A language of Cyprus, but you don't see any English or Armenian writing on the money do you? :wink:
