"United" :? How so? The EU is enough for me, for now (perhaps eventually an Earthly Union).

I mean united as an island; as a people.

Agreed ... but why did you think otherwise from what I said above?

Why is the fact Cyprus is part of the Hellenic World at odds with that? It's like saying the UK is part of the Occidental world .... nothing divisive about that.

How is accepting Cyprus being part of the Hellenic world ... as are other EU members .... lowering our sights?

Hellenic is not static. Hellenic is not archaic. It is the moral compass by which the civilised world calibrates its future goals.

If that's the case then certain bastions of the Hellenic world need to clean up their act somewhat before I consider using it as a moral compass. I don't want to end up in hell.

These are the kind of fanatic absurdities Cyprus has had to wade through for decades; and this coming from a female in, wait for it… 2009! :roll:

That’s right people… the 21st century! So you can only imagine what Cyprus must’ve been like pre-74, with so many people’s minds infested with preconditioned mythological superiority perceptions! Image

Oracle, between the ages of 6 and 9 was the (school) period when I experienced this thing you call “Hellenism”, and despite my very young age I had an overwhelming feeling inside that something was so terribly wrong… :?

Some of the posts you sometimes make send me right back in time; a time I’m still struggling to forget… :(
