Quoting KeithL:

I'm failing to see the similiarities here. I am very tolerent by nature. I have nothing against kurds, but the PKK is a terrorist organization and they need to be destroyed. Now. For all our safety.


KeithL, what do you mean you are tolerant towards Kurds? Aren't they people too? There is not supposed to be a question about "whether to be tolerant towards Kurds or not". Of course, I absolutely agree about terrorism - that needs to be stopped ASAP, I'm just not sure if more violence will take care of that. Didn't seem to work in the past in most places and 99% of victims will be innocent people from both sides! Do you really want that??? This idea kind of reminds me of the attitude of president Bush and half of the Americans after 9/11. Violence as a justified means to solve conflicts? Nobody will ever benefit from that. You need to look at the roots of the problem for all our safety.

I am tolerent of all people, including my own. In general. I said this to indicate I am not rascist against any people based on the nature of ethnicity.
The PKK situation is so much different then 9/11 events that you compare. 9/11 was about America interfering with foreign policy in other parts of the world. The situation with the PKK is closer to foreign invasion. This is about land, not ideals. And to say violence never solved anything, I strongly disagree. What about the French Revolution, American Revolution, American Civil War, Turkish War of Independence, Word War II? War isn't pretty, but sometimes its necessary.
I ask you this Catwoman. What does the PKK want that you feel can be negotiated?

for the attention of Mrs Catwoman and Mr Keithl, "The Kurdish people are the real one of Turkish ethnical family clans, they are Turks...So, Turk Kurdish people and terrorist organization are different things.Terrorist organization is a humanity crime".

i don't believe theres an ethnicity problem in our country,just some economical&socical problems which came since the long years,just big mistakes of goverments about administring to country.there r big contradictions on different areas of our country,some places having high life conditions while other big parts surviving in very bad conditions.Sure our lovely country has some problems,but thats never abouth ethnicity or belief differences,but some foxy politicians using this differences for their political worries just for keep their chairs warm.so time to be more together more then ever and time to be more tolerated or loving each other for more peacfull and light tomorrows...

So whats the problem? They can vote, work, own homes....
I am not going to argue with you what a "real turk" is.
But the kurds in turkey have the same rules and rights as the rest of the people in Turkey.

This is true, but Ataturk would not tolerate a foreign invader, which is what the PKK is.

Quoting Deli_kizin:

Quoting mltm:

Who deleted my message?
There was nothing wrong in it, they were just the realities. Is it banned to talk about the reality of the kurdish separatist terror group PKK?



Yes actually I wondered the same.. There was nothing wrong with your message.


As mod, can't you see message that have been deleted? Why don't you just put it back



What I wonder is if catwoman has anything to say about it, for the post in question addressed catwoman, and one of her posts on the thread. (I don't mean it might have been deleted by catwoman.) To tell the truth, the post partially targeted catwoman's personality.
