Now, I don't see any reputable source about Greek Cypriots selling their land to foreigners to buy expensive cars. And in any case, at least they will pay any taxes to the state, and at least we still have a functional economy with an excellent credit rating and we will not be responsible for the devaluation of the Euro!

Oh really?

Yes really!

Did you forget that four years ago Greece had a development rate of 4% and the economy was in perfect shape? Were there no tax evaders then?

4 years ago, many tin pot nations achieved economic growth of 4% or greater! Should we take off 2% for cooking the books?

What you so conveniently forget my little turncoat is that Greece spends BILLIONS every year for the defense of both Greece and Cyprus.

We've seen it in 74 and we've seen it from 1974-2010....

I still like the real Hellene patriots, who still have some respect for their state and Cyprus, but they are so few in this day and age according to the Guardian article!

Tell me again, how many fighters Cyprus has? How come she doesn't need any?

We don't need them because our armed forces are geared up to defend the remaining RoC territory under our control and also for a quick advance against occupation forces(if and when the time is right). Fighters are a liability as they will consume too many resources we don't have.

One thing is for sure, we can never rely on your "Greekos" for anything!

Would you like me to tell you what your economy would be like if you had to pay all your bills yourself? Shut up and go grow a brain

Yeh right Groucho. Are you insinuating that Greece is paying our bills or spending billions to liberate Cyprus? If so, what the hell are you waiting for?

[alexISS]

Paphitis, if you keep this up I'll have no option but to dig out some of your older posts that will ridicule you beyond repair. Three months ago, if anyone would post the crap you post now, you'd be all over him.

You're a turncoat. Nothing more.

Go to hell

I have always considered and always will that the wealthy Greeks are the scum of the earth. You can not possibly meet a worst individual than a stuck up Greek rich who looks down on their fellow humans , hardly any of them are known for their generosity to charity , some do , and they have an insatiable appetite for material goods . I don't like them mate , have met them and socialized with them and they are not at all my type.

Ha! Your description fits the average (not rich) Cypriot PERFECTLY!
Have you met many Greek villagers who sold all their land to foreigners so that they could show off driving a used Mercedes?

Who the f*ck do you think you are? Coming here to insult Cypriots. Shouldn't you be on strike or something?

I think your comment is out of order as AlexISS was replying to Miltiades' racist anti-Greek rant.

No, milti was ranting against stuck up, wealthy Greeks (those who have helped bring Greece to its knees with their tax-evading corruption) whereas AlexISS was having a go at the average Cypriot - and here on a Cyprus Forum. I don't take kindly to that.

So, you are saying all wealthy Greeks are Tax-evaders?

And, that Greek Cypriots selling their land to foreigners for buying cars is fine? So, no one had better comment on how stupid that practice is!

No, we are discussing the tax evading behavior of most Greek leeches which have bought Greece to its knees. This forum is about facts, and your article from the Guardian seems to support our discussion about corrupt Greekos and their tax evading antics.

The journalist's report is hardly only about "facts" Paphitis but minced with the usual British Hellenophobia. It says a lot about you that you would question other sources for credibility but not when you think you can score some kudos by cheap kicks at Greece in your (overt) attempt to appear intellectual.

Are you denying that Greece is in financial disarray? Are you denying the fact that rich Greek investors are laundering 10 Billion Euros to Cyprus in order to avoid the Greek Governments crack down on tax?

How stupid are you?

Worse than this happened at the start of the credit crunch in the UK. Nobody stereotyped every wealthy Brit as a Tax evader.

Whilst some Brits do minimize their tax and even evade it, it is not as wide spread as Greek tax evasion! We see the intricate tax avoiding schemes Greeks get up to in Australia as well as all the dodgy compo claims. Did you know that Australia at one stage jailed nearly half of all practicing Greek doctors only a few years ago and cancelled their qualifications for a period? They did it because Greeks were actually responsible for defrauding the Government of Billions of dollars in social security benefits!

Now, I don't see any reputable source about Greek Cypriots selling their land to foreigners to buy expensive cars. And in any case, at least they will pay any taxes to the state, and at least we still have a functional economy with an excellent credit rating and we will not be responsible for the devaluation of the Euro!

Long may good economic conditions continue.

Good on you!

But unlike you, I don't beat Cyprus to gain leverage for Greece, nor beat Greece to gain leverage for Cyprus.

No, I am beating on Greece to gain leverage for my country, and that is what a patriotic Cypriot should do!

They are BOTH one as far as our culture, history and future goes and the movement of all that money to Cyprus is evidence of how close the Greeks feel Cyprus is and how safe it is. This should tell you something of the loyalty of Greeks to Cyprus and their confidence in its future.

What rubbish!

If Cyprus had tax laws like those in the UK or Australia, then those funds will be on their way to the Cayman Islands as quick as a flash!

Furthermore, Greece gave up on its Hellenic culture long ago.

Now, as to whether Tax evasion is one of the Seven deadly sins then we can discuss that at length in another thread.

Tax evasion occurs in most countries, but tax evasion is not as wide spread or as intricate as it is in Greece. And if they are that greedy to piss on their country and bring it to its knees, then I piss on them and all you "Greekos" who are defending these unpatriotic "Greekos" from destroying the nation's ability to provide services and infrastructure.

I also don't appreciate how you defend someone coming here, on a Cypriot Forum and slandering all Cypriots!

Since you had to butt in, I was pointing out that an original sin (Miltiades' racism) was being countered and as such was defending another's right (AlexISS') to counter wrongs (Miltiades).

I believe it was others that butted in, as I was the one who began the conversation to begin with, but I don't blame you for your female attention span!

I will let Miltiades to answer the rest! But I am not racist against those Patriotic Greeks who respect their nation and Cyprus! Not at all!

That "someone" was not just "coming here" to slander Cypriots as he has been here long before you putting many Turkophills to rights and defending Cyprus, strongly!

Good on him!

As a Greek, I wouldn't expect anything less!

Paphitis, you really take the biscuit!

Only because you put yourself forward as a intellectual and yet have absolutely no understanding as to what it is I am saying!

Grow up!

Go to hell

I am a"turncoat" when countering "Greek" defeatism.

http://www.cyprus-forum.com/viewtopic.php?t=28451

I also don't take too kindly to Cypriot defeatism either, such as that which is so abundant within the current tin pot Christofias administration.

Long live the patriotic EDEK, for their stance on the Cyprus issue!

[alexISS]

Yes Paphitis, you're a turncoat.

Not so long ago, you declared yourself to be a Greek and a Cypriot.
Now that the Greek crisis has hit the news, you decide to become, in your own words, a "Choirokitian now".
Don't even try to deny it, because that's the only thing that's changed in the last few months, when your amazing metamorphosis took place

In other words, now that being Greek doesn't sound as good as it used to, you just denounce your Greekness and problem solved.

Turncoat. Fits you perfectly

[Paphitis]

Yes Paphitis, you're a turncoat.

A "turncoat from what exactly Groucho?

Not so long ago, you declared yourself to be a Greek and a Cypriot.
Now that the Greek crisis has hit the news, you decide to become, in your own words, a "Choirokitian now".

I am just a Cypriot and an Aussie! Pure and simple.

And if being a Cypriot means being a Choirokitian just to get away from you incompetent "Hellenes", then so be it!

I am also a Hellene Cypriot, and have also made the switch from being DIKOtian to EDEKian, until Garoyian get's his act together. I am a turncoat against stupidity!

Don't even try to deny it, because that's the only thing that's changed in the last few months, when your amazing metamorphosis took place

Look at my AVATAR! I subscribe to a different kind of Hellenism (and Cypriotism) than you do Groucho. What's it to you anyway!

In other words, now that being Greek doesn't sound as good as it used to, you just denounce your Greekness and problem solved.

Turncoat. Fits you perfectly

Being a Hellene Cypriot still sounds good to me, but I won't harp on about it if it harms Cyprus in any way, because I am CYPRIOT most of all, and that is all that matters, as a matter of fact!

Once again, look at my AVATAR. It has Hellenism and Cypriotism written all over it Groucho!

Now piss off!

[alexISS]

You pathetic excuse of a human being...
I know exactly the kind of "Hellenism" you and your kind subscribe to.

From now on I'll stop dealing with you seriously.

Btw, here's a newspiece on your beloved EDEK, a press release on the day that the Greek Archbishop passed away
http://www.sigmalive.com/news/local/9018

Οπως καταλήγει η ανακοίνωση ''ο θάνατος του Αρχιεπισκόπου Χριστόδουλου είναι απώλεια, τόσο για την εκκλησία της Ελλάδας, όσο και για το σύνολο του Ελληνισμού''

As much as I hate EDEK lowering their patriotic standards to give its condolences to a traitor of true Hellenism, I am going to have to excuse it as an action of altruistic charity towards a human that has passed on.

The Ancient Greeks were also famous for their altruism, but the modern day Greeks only know how to avoid tax obligations!

[alexISS]

Oh my God, you've been possessed by GetReal, and that fact alone shows how weak you are.

As if the "Groucho"s weren't enough, now you imitate him in his patented behavior: imagining "excuses" to justify acts of the ones you admire that are not compatible with your new found pseudo-ideology. I remember him "excusing" Papadopoulos' speeches on Hellenism as some kind of a "lip service" that he didn't actually subscribe to...

So pathetic...

[alexISS]

Hey Paphiti,

Doesn't it bother you that most educated priests can read and understand ancient Greek perfectly, while to you it looks like Chinese?
