Let the opening one be from me!

She approached, in an windy and cool evening at Kordon in Izmir, to me offering her chocolate in her hand and told, as she probably thought I was feeling a chill, "Eat! In(side) you will get warm!"

Leaned forward to his knees, he was as if he were reading a newspaper, only budging his lips but making hardly hearable sounds; and it was then that, for the first time in my life, being ready to cry, I realized that my father, my dear poor father, can't read, don't know even the alphabet, recognize even a single, simple letter, say, "a", which he had pronounced countlessly during his lifetime; and thus started a new period in my life from which on, till to death, I would say, when asked, "My father can't read!"

This morning woke up I, steeped tea, had a simple breakfast, and smiled at life- yes, smiled at life!

This morning I opened my computer, opened Turkish Class and before me was a new thread which I felt compelled to reply to, whilst thinking, AllTooHuman you are a gem, a jewel in the crown of TC

Just before the Iraq War started, there was a very very important debate on many stupid Turkish newspapers and TVs, as if one of the vital problems of Turkey, that whether the double-u in George W. Bush was to be pronounced or not; and it was in such a period that I came across it on the back wall of Beğendik Store in Ankara - "Dabılyusunu s*ktiğimin Bush'u!" *

* "Bush whose double-u I f*ck!"

alltoohuman, reading only some of your recent posts scarily points me in two directions... (either that brain problem you must be reading about now or you're definitely ON something... maybe Reality 101 would be an option??? whaddya think?)

[edited by admin: deleted this part because of the use of offensive language]

AllTooHuman: Then, what is the point in letting the following part remain? Could you please delete my account? I am strongly protest you!

Note to admin or the ones to have the authority to delete posts:

If you feel you must delete this one as well, please delete my user account, too. The word in question, without doubt, is not so explicit as, say, the F-words. I can on the other hand assert, according to this reference, that it is considered just as explicit as "bitch", which is used in posts here from time to time.

This word, as far as as I know, is very explicit. Deletion of a post is the subjective judgment of the moderator or admin based on the site rules.

Below are just two quotes. Please glance at this. The word is considered by some as offensive while not by other some.

"Although the word "c*nt" is synonymous with the word "p*ssy", in terms of connotation, it is more closely related to the word "bitch"."

"Many consider c*nt obscene and therefore highly offensive, though as with all verbal profanities, others regard it merely as informal but not vulgar slang."
