 post good news! you are very welcome to do it. We will be all happy to read them. Only person who is ready to be offended will be offended. Reaction to any event or situation is your choice. Choice depends on you.

Don´t feel offended - do smth different, do what you consider correct.

When could we expect good and positives news from you?

Probably not in the near future. one of the reason is Because I read from Turkish newspapers in Turkish and I am not able to translate properly turkish to english. I dont read Turkish news sites in english because they are not satisfied. they publish old news that happened two week before. and those news are not overall about the subject.
second reason is I am not full time member of this site. I only come this site if a homework submitted.
third reason we are not in a propaganda race. if I would post news or stories, I would be balanced. I would post facts mostly. I wouldnt repeat minor stories to avoid a major one.

 we say that those who can find ability, those who cann´t - excuses.

more deeds, less words! it is nice chance to start doing what you haven´t before? Practice is great teacher, really. With your attitude you would find really interesting, important and outstanding news and topics, because you are not light-weight person...

 gencturk...of course you are free to not talk to Ms. War but wouldn´t it be better to debate these things?  That is what a forum is for.  I don´t alway agree with everyone, but that doesn´t mean I stop posting.  I think you present your side of the arguement well, although I don´t always agree.

Quoting WarTrain

This is actually the root of the problem on this website.  You Turks are only happy when we talk about your warm hospitality, wonderful food, music etc. but feel quite happy about criticising the "west", whereas we are quite used to everyone (including ourselves) insulting our countries.

This actually not unique to Turks; Aussies hate Brits and everything not belonging to Australia, Belgians, the French, Germans, the Brits are all that way. Therefore, it is wrong to point your fingers at Turks only. That doesn´t mean however, it is good or acceptable... Red necks sometimes have too much weight in the overal picture of a nation. That´s why we can´t have good regimes, properly running democracies, less crime and more freedom.

 

This last incident reminds me of the darker days of the regime in Turkey. Back in the 80´s police violance was something we were accustomed to. Loathing people with loathing intentions turned an entire decade into a nightmare. What we need is  better educated people; can we get it anytime soon? Well, that would be out of question...  We endured very difficult times in the past, we will certainly face more of it because ignorance has prevailed.
