Paphos People

Just remember Spencer, everybody is entitled to the own thoughts & opinions, we may not like it ourselves but it something we have to put up with now & then
As for this man, maybe he should have kept his own thoughts & opinions to himself unless he thought your neighbour might be of the same mind too, tho I don't see how if your neighbour knew they were Asian when he rented the property to them, some strange folk around

What a dinosaur.
His name wasn't Alf Garnett was it ?

Personally I'm all for confronting ignorance wherever it's encountered - a lot of older people in particular still have attitudes ingrained in them that they can regurgitate without a full understanding of the implications, and I think discourse and education (rather than violence!) is the way forward.



Not sure I'm reading this right - are you suggesting blatant racism is OK as long as you keep it between like-minded folk??

Spence - it is spelt "Disgusted"

Hi Chis

oops sorry. I never even noticed that, come to think of it, you were the only one who did

Hope the passport comes through soon.

No matter what colour you are green or pink, or purple we are all humans and should look after each other, but if you step out of line, then we should come down on people like a ton of bricks.

I know certain people here in the uk do take the Mickey out of our system and the British government let's them get away with it. I think this is why so many people turn against these people, and hate start to set in. But remember they are not all like these people, some are very kind, and work very hard, and pay into the system.

Just my thoughts

p.s did that make any sense

I am sure that many of us noticed, but felt it impolite to comment on other peoples efforts at spelling in an informal forum - we are none of us perfect.

Fortunately, Spence and I know each other, and I knew he would take in the spirit it was intended i.e. as an aid with added humour on an informal basis, rather than a Cyprusliving style put down - so I felt totally comfortable correcting him.................and when I need lessons on being polite I'll be sure to come looking on CL for details !!

My only concern is that anyone should invade your privacy without your consent and maybe present their views in a manner unacceptable to you.

Irrespective of his views (you can form your own opinion), a level of common decency and consideration for those present is a good idea.

It is important that people can discuss their views, and it is up to the recipient whether he wishes to listen to them or react to them, or how to react to them. The UK is slowly becoming a country where views and free speech is being sanitised and agenda driven, so it is more important than ever that people talk about all issues and not just thise which seem very nice..

Panayamou! Fancy that, moving to another country and then having the ignorance and cheek to complain when you see someone of different origin from yourself! he should have stayed wherever it was he came from although maybe he ate that much on his hols that the rock is too small!

I hope he falls asleep in the sun and burns his head

Emma, I agree broadly with the first part of your post, however in the interests of fairness, you should now give him the opportunity to wish nasty things to happen to you!!

I wonder if he is a PP.

No I'm not suggesting that, what I was trying to say is, the bigot who complained may have thought that the neighbour maybe a bigot like himself & get a response by bring the problem up, as I know that sometimes when people are confronted, they clam up & agree to anything, which is probably what the bigot wanted.. he obviously didn't realise the neighbour knew they were Asians & didn't mind renting his property to them... me, I would have just told him to wind his neck in & go away very politely

Tanny,
He could wish bad things on me all he wants, but one thing he cannot make me is an ignorant bigot so whatever happens i will never be as bad as him!!

Dignity is very much a personal issue, and the importance of it from one person to another varies. If its high on your agenda, and you retain it, then you have taken your own high ground, Bravo.

Hey this is heavy for a Thursday morning..
