For more than a year you have taken this forum on a free tour of your mind/brain and you then top that off with a lovely cherry by claiming we know nothing about you? 
Btw, I know all about those annual Greeko community parties they conduct in the diaspora... they start off with a couple of speeches and then everybody wakes up to feast themselves stupid, and last some of the people who can still stand do a few rounds on the dancefloor, and finally you then all go to bed... 
Hmm, yeah that should liberate Cyprus! |
What an absolute tripe of a post , is there no end to your denigrating view of anyone other than you. Your defamatory views on any one older than you , bet you also consider your self gods gift to humanity . Your dare to vilify 300 thousand plus Cypriots in the diaspora some of whom are dedicated to bring a just solution to our nation as mere piss takers who" feast themselves stupid ??" and then do what ? go to bed !!!
GR , we call for Turkish troops out of Cyprus , we do nor excel the virtue of war we do not call for mercenaries and we consider the T/Cs to be our brothers and sisters. Cyprus isn't your exclusive island it belongs to us as well , and in case you haven't realized it also belongs to the T/Cs , and in a few years to come to a few other races as well.
You no doubt might want to get them out , well you have the support of Blackwater !!!! |

To the Arabic News readers I appeal , please read the following:
Life Under Saddam Hussein
Past Repression and Atrocities by Saddam Hussein's Regime
Life Under
Saddam Hussein
Escaping from Iraq
A Brutal Regime
For over 20 years, the greatest threat to Iraqis has been Saddam Hussein's regime -- he has killed, tortured, raped and terrorized the Iraqi people and his neighbors for over two decades.
When Iraq is free, past crimes against humanity and war crimes committed against Iraqis, will be accounted for, in a post-conflict Iraqi-led process. The United States, members of the coalition and international community will work with the Iraqi people to build a strong and credible judicial process to address these abuses.
Under Saddam's regime many hundreds of thousands of people have died as a result of his actions - the vast majority of them Muslims.
According to a 2001 Amnesty International report, "victims of torture in Iraq are subjected to a wide range of forms of torture, including the gouging out of eyes, severe beatings and electric shocks... some victims have died as a result and many have been left with permanent physical and psychological damage."
Saddam has had approximately 40 of his own relatives murdered.
Allegations of prostitution used to intimidate opponents of the regime, have been used by the regime to justify the barbaric beheading of women.
Documented chemical attacks by the regime, from 1983 to 1988, resulted in some 30,000 Iraqi and Iranian deaths.
Human Rights Watch estimates that Saddam's 1987-1988 campaign of terror against the Kurds killed at least 50,000 and possibly as many as 100,000 Kurds. o The Iraqi regime used chemical agents to include mustard gas and nerve agents in attacks against at least 40 Kurdish villages between 1987-1988. The largest was the attack on Halabja which resulted in approximately 5,000 deaths. o 2,000 Kurdish villages were destroyed during the campaign of terror.
Iraq's 13 million Shi'a Muslims, the majority of Iraq's population of approximately 22 million, face severe restrictions on their religious practice, including a ban on communal Friday prayer, and restriction on funeral processions.
According to Human Rights Watch, "senior Arab diplomats told the London-based Arabic daily newspaper al-Hayat in October [1991] that Iraqi leaders were privately acknowledging that 250,000 people were killed during the uprisings, with most of the casualties in the south." Refugees International reports that the "Oppressive government policies have led to the internal displacement of 900,000 Iraqis, primarily Kurds who have fled to the north to escape Saddam Hussein's Arabization campaigns (which involve forcing Kurds to renounce their Kurdish identity or lose their property) and Marsh Arabs, who fled the government's campaign to dry up the southern marshes for agricultural use. More than 200,000 Iraqis continue to live as refugees in Iran."
The U.S. Committee for Refugees, in 2002, estimated that nearly 100,000 Kurds, Assyrians and Turkomans had previously been expelled, by the regime, from the "central-government-controlled Kirkuk and surrounding districts in the oil-rich region bordering the Kurdish controlled north."
"Over the past five years, 400,000 Iraqi children under the age of five died of malnutrition and disease, preventively, but died because of the nature of the regime under which they are living." (Prime Minister Tony Blair, March 27, 2003) o Under the oil-for-food program, the international community sought to make available to the Iraqi people adequate supplies of food and medicine, but the regime blocked sufficient access for international workers to ensure proper distribution of these supplies. o Since the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom, coalition forces have discovered military warehouses filled with food supplies meant for the Iraqi people that had been diverted by Iraqi military forces.
The Iraqi regime has repeatedly refused visits by human rights monitors. From 1992 until 2002, Saddam prevented the UN Special Rapporteur from visiting Iraq.
The UN Special Rapporteur's September 2001, report criticized the regime for "the sheer number of executions," the number of "extrajudicial executions on political grounds," and "the absence of a due process of the law."
Executions: Saddam Hussein's regime has carried out frequent summary executions, including: o 4,000 prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison in 1984 o 3,000 prisoners at the Mahjar prison from 1993-1998 o 2,500 prisoners were executed between 1997-1999 in a "prison cleansing campaign" o 122 political prisoners were executed at Abu Ghraib prison in February/March 2000 o 23 political prisoners were executed at Abu Ghraib prison in October 2001 o At least 130 Iraqi women were beheaded between June 2000 and April 2001

I can see how thoroughly indoctrinated and biased you are .I m pleased I'm not on your side and happy that
a plonker such as you is not representative of the Cypriot people. You are using the word grandpa as a derogatory insult , your insolence is beyond redemption since it is clearly a contemptuously expressed opinion of some one that HAS made it to 61 and HAS made it to Grandpa "status" .The offensiveness intended in your remarks is discarded and although replied to , I wish to assure you that punks like you I have had on numerous occasions for breakfast and spat them out. |

miltiades, your fondness for leaning towards insult at every opportunity will probably amaze anyone who reads your post above, how did you manage to ignore the pictures of that innocent victim of your counterpart's aggression, without even making reference to it ?.
I think you should be ashamed of yourself, I certainly would not be capable of such callous indifference Sir.

All of this brutality; all of this violence; all of these atrocities; have been committed by ISRAEL. And they did it with OUR AMERICAN WEAPONS AND OUR TAX MONEY!
All those military rifles: American made M-16's
All the helicopter gun ships: American Apaches & Cobras
All the fighter jets: American F-15's and F-16's
Between outright "aid", military assistance, and loan guarantees, we American taxpayers give Israel between $3 and $6 Billion every year. They use our "aid" to wage this warfare on Arabs.
Is there any wonder why the Arabs fight back? Is there any wonder why Arabs have begun attacking the US itself?
If YOUR family had been brutalized in these ways, would YOU fight back? By fighting back, would YOU be called a "terrorist?" |
Along with the pictures GR posted...pretty much explains it all.... |

turkish_cypriot, I fear there is only one man capable of countering your comments in this instance, miltiades is his name, he is a formidable force in this forum and will no doubt deal with you in due course.
My own view is, well spoken mate !.  |
