EOKA book, a question

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

For an ex diplomat of a nation that imposes oaths to uphold the Constitution of the USA at every administrative level it is odd that you call the war of indepdence "water under the bridge", something that no one cares very much about these days.

For a nation that won its freedom and owes it very existence to rebellion you seem unable to recognise the same rights to others. Even when the oppressor was common in both cases.

The people in this country now are ignorant and know nothing , nor care, about our history..

It just burns me bad and so sad. Checking out soon and glad I won't see the future. Only if the voters get wise and vote in someone who will take the bulls by the horns and fix the undoing of the past 6 years will it turn around.

Maybe you got it off your chest and it did you some good.

P.S. I have been a student of our civil war since 1978 and past commander for two years of my camp of the Union Veterans of the Civil War. The Sons of Confederate Veterans are probably still 5 times larger then the SUV. I proudly wear the Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal, the highest award the United Daughters of the Confederacy can award to an outsider. I portray a Union Regimental Chaplain when reenacting at Civil War days on some weekends. If needed, I can do a CSA impression. It's an addiction for many after we get into it..

Off now to a picnic by Mt. Shasta.

Actually it is just south of Mt. Shasta at
Dunsmuir,CA, 14 acres by the river with many picnic tables, trees, gardens, etc. not used much due to location on old hwy to the Oregon. Beautiful

We will also visit Castle Craggs on the way back. Dunsmuir is small, was where you picked up or drop off a steam engine on the RR to and from Oregon, Mtns to the north for 150 miles..

There are dictionaries that tell you the meaning of the word "Large" is "something big". And then when you look up the meaning of the word "Big" it tells you it is "something large".

It might give you a definition, but 'meaning' requires a little more. Knowing Greek will give you a better insight into meaning through historical use.

A dictionary is only as good as those who write it.

Sotos can’t be saved… I’m sure he appreciates you trying but it’s hopeless. :lol:




Sorry chaps but I agree Sotos can't be saved . WHAT A ARROGANT WANKER

Sotos is like a back-end PHP script... it communicates only with machines, is tireless and ongoing, most predictable and repetitive, and totally uncompromising and unconfigurable. :lol:
