Reply to Jesse Jackson a real saint among men in Current Events JoeUser Forums

hallo, I am a complete outsider of what goes on in the united states. I am a coloured German living in Cyprus. I left Germany because there is this racial discrimination, too. But it happens very refined. One actually can live with it. Nevertheless I chose Cyprus. Although my father is supposed to be an American, I have not dared or tried to visit the united states. I know, it is a place like any other, but I am afraid, that a past of

positive thinking in Life JoeUser Forums

Positive thinking! What is positive thinking? Is it telling people not which mistakes to make? Or is it telling them which mistakes they have done? Is it positive to talk about mistakes at all? Or isn't it better not to mention mistakes, but only refer to the good and correct that has been uttered by others or done? Of course, some of you wi

Cyprus in International JoeUser Forums

One more impression on Cyprus of a foreigner - one more advice! I as a German (I prefer to talk of myself as a European) would like to say at first: Germans have a problem with foreigners in their country and the same could be said about foreigners on Germans. Hitler tried to re-create something like the pure-German-race. Every historian, though, wil

Cyprus - let's deadlock: civil society and its problems in International JoeUser Forums

Let’ s Deadlock! Yesterday, Wednesday, I had this Poem in my back, which I will present to you below, and I thought that it is not suitable to confront you with nothing more than such as a contribution or article. Since I did not really have a another topic, I decided to go for a walk through the quarter behind the Kyrenia Gate. While I was walking I thought

The Kurds in International JoeUser Forums

Kurds Today is Sunday. The state president of Greece visits the Republic of Cyprus - a state visit. First I wanted to go to the presidential Palace in Nicosia (South), to see what, who, how, when - but I decided otherwise spontaneously. It was that after having done the early morning Qi Qong exercises, something inside of me said: ‘go to Kyrenia, swim in

Le Pen's visit - prophet of remaining division in Cyprus in International JoeUser Forums

Le Pen – ‘Prophet’ of a coming temporarily division! Mr. Le Pen will visit the island of the Cypriots on the 01. of November. In his suitcase he will have, I believe: hate against everything that is related to Turkey and Turks. There will be some welcoming him and some, like some organizations of the civil society (KISA etc), that will show him, I h

... Ataturkism ..., but ... in Politics JoeUser Forums

... Ataturkism ..., but ... We all know, Ataturk is somehow a national symbol for the majority of Turks in Turkey and is therefore more or less what Stalin is or seems to be for Georgians in Georgia. The people mainly approve of Ataturks achievements, maybe not quite comparable in intense with the approval of the Georgians for Stalin, but at least a little bit comparable with them and maybe even more than a little bit. Ataturkism can be called an ideology, a way to look at the

Reply to JACKSON JOINS ISLAM in Current Events JoeUser Forums

hi! the question is easy to answer: Jackson the alleged molester aligned with the Farrakhan is worse. The latter by the way is not quite comparable with Hitler. It is because he does not have enough political power to prove such comparison to be appropriate. My guess is: he would not succeed in doing so, even if he had the power,cause he might not have such negativ intention: after all he is out to save the world, I believe, since he clouds himself with religious, islamic, contents.!<br

T Erdogan will have to decide soon! in Welcome JoeUser Forums

Yesterday evening (16.12.03) on TRT3 again there was word about the so called south- east problem in Turkey, which, concerning Baykal, the leader of the opposite party, was addressed in a wrong fashion by the prime minister, Tayyip Erdogan, when he was visiting the European Summit. What was said by Tayyip Erdogan was that there are still things to be done to make life better for the people living in the region. But having said so he relativated right after by saying that as well in ohter parts
