Quoting WarTrain

It was very bad yes, but a conspiracy? lol

 

They were slow to react and indecisive and I hope they were disciplined.  However, if you go around looking at sites like 911truth.org, then you will start to believe conspiracy theories I suppose.

 

Shall I find you similar wacky sites about the big muslim plots to take over the world?

 

Believe it or not, the US DO MAKE BIG MISTAKES!!!! lol

 

 Why shouldn´t I look at those sites? Maybe they have some point, and I prefer to consider every possibility than believing in what is offered to me to believe. US do make big mistakes but it is not very imaginary thing to believe that it can be the narrator of such a monstreous plan. we often think too simple and that´s the problem.

And where did you get your information, from the US controlled media?

Quoting mltm

 BTW just because I´m a bit interested in ethnics,you know maybe, there´re different theories about Zazas being kurd, being turk or being a different ethnicity in its own.

 

 This is what I meant in another post.. an ethnic identity is not necessarily based upon origin or kinship. It is often created in what fits people most or what they prefer to belong to.

 

I should read some more work from Martin van Bruinessen, he is a Dutch ´Kurdolog´, and is really a specialist on the topic of Kurdish peoples. I attended a few seminars of him about Kurds in Turkey. It was really english. I think his books must be available in English, if not in Turkish as well.

 Typically people who buy into this theory also believe in 1950 when people claimed that aliens from outerspace where demanding we stop nucleaur testing.  People will go to any length to draw attention.  {#lang_emotions_puking}

Quoting Trudy

So now I´m discriminating you? Whoehahaha! You are not so open minded but you are definitively funny.

 

I disagree. Sui is one of few people here who even can discuss these issues rationally. He has his views and that does not make him ´not so open minded´!

Quoting mltm

 I hope one day someone whom you´d take more serious as well will warn you to open up your eyes a bit more as you do it for others. Do not burden your head in the sand, otherwise people will regard you as the famous american blonde who thinks that Europe is a country.

 

 Loved that one

Quoting libralady

I was reading this thread before lunch and was quite impressed with the debate.  I think when I left it was about 7 pages or something like that.  I come back an hour and a bit later and it has turned from an interesting debate to an all out war and slanging match.  How can anyone make their mind up when there is such mud slinging going on? {#lang_emotions_you_crazy}

 

 +1

 

It became the famous ´I am right - Nooo, IIII am right´ debate.. speculating a little over words, whether we can or cannot speak of ´kurds´ ´turks´ ´them´ ´us´ in a debate. There is a lot in words yes, but sometimes you can say too much as well..

 

It has become boring and too full of personal comments. Please continue to discuss whatever you think would be the sollution,ethnicity, racism and nationality, but continuing personal comments and posts specifically about PKK (let alone supporting it), will result in this thread to be locked.

 

Now please continue this interesting debate

 Me too. I have read that Sui is been called a racist as well during this debate if I remember well, I find that rather unfair and quite ill-informed.

I would like to protest against this quite wrong and ugly stereotype. Please... challenge your own stereotyping as well (not referring here only to my love mltm, but in general). There are stupid and ignorant people in every country, US is not unique. And there are lots of intelligent and very brilliant people in the US as well. Using such stereotypes is, I think, quite wrong.

(for some reason I cannot type outside ´your´ box, I guess we do belong together CW )

 

Anyway, yes it is a quite wrong and ugly stereotype, but to be honest I think that is why she used it.  At least that is how I read it.
