didnot really know where to put this one...
it seems that one of the things we learned in school concerning the time of the ottoman empire: i.e. children going to the church in the night to get some education is a myth. :cry:

i always get this weird feeling, when i know sth for the whole of my life and suddenly i realise that this is not the case , or at least this might not be the case. it makes you wonder, how many more "truths" are there in those history books , that i am willing to fight for ?
did you ever had this feeling of loosing on of those certainties? ... besides the time when you learned that santa was papa |

When it comes to history, I remind myself one simple thing: Whether you're reading a book, watching a documentary or listening to someone about a historical event, what you're reading/watching/listening is just a perception. |

I did not know where to open this topic, so I decided to open it here because it is not directly related to Cyprus problem but is more general but have implications on Cyprus problem.
Quite frankly I am getting bored of the same lines going on and on over the Cyprus forum about Cyprus Problem. That is why I guess I jumped into discussion with Birkibrisli, and Khan about nation vs. individual or state vs. individual. I guess I am hungry for some sort of intellectual discussion other than the old Cyprus Problem.
Take a break. Trust me when we come back it still will be there.
Please debate frankly and for everybody's sake please do not relate it to Cyprus Problem directly so we do not have another slug fest.
-------
The issue is Collectivism VS. Individualism
The issue is J.J. Rousseau VS. H.D. Thoreau
The issue is state, nation, society, community, VS. individual
The issue is where do we draw the line between collective behavior (in the form of submitting to the will of larger civic unit like state, nation, community) vs. individual behavior (self-sufficiency, self-interest, self-preservation). |
