Not only that. VP has discovered the (one and only) truth and it's only a matter of time for poor old us to get there, but we will, eventually... We can't be that dumb! :wink:

Just wait another 30 years and you might just understand, you will still be arguing the same issues over and over again. When will you admit the solution you seek is not possible and that recognised partition will be the only alternative?????

That might well happen one day. It might not. I, unlike you, do not claim to have seen the light. I don't know what might happen, and you don't know either. So lose the 'some day you'll understand' attitude - it's insulting.

As for why I insist on what you see as a lost cause, consider how it was possible before '55. A few bigots and a series of circumstances brought us here, but our common history proves that impossible is nothing. You gave up, and that's fine by me, but I'm not going to be that easy.

Why, do you enjoy banging your head against a wall? Dont you want an end to the "Cyprus Issue"where GCs & TCs dont feel threatened by each others motives and lack of trust, if this means partition then im all for it. The solution Cypriots dream of is nowhere to be found, its utopia and with our attitude and prejudices unobtainable.

PS didnt intend to insult anyone, its just my Viewpoint on things.
