I am sure you have noticed that I was trying to avoid writing anything as response this..
But lets cut the crap here..
Janis is talking about me here and we had this argument before and somehow we keep getting the same thing again and again(He was not very successful earlier in my view, god knows why he thinks he will be this time)
Lets start:
-National anthem. I remember saying that music our national anthem ´might have been taken´ somewhere from the west from a song called ´Carmen Silva´.
By saying this, do you think i am disrespecting our national anthem?
I have also critizised the words in our national anthem by saying that it contains some racist words..
This is the first two section we keep singing 30 times a week :
Fear not! For the crimson flag that proudly ripples in this glorious twilight, shall not fade,
Before the last fiery hearth that is ablaze within my nation is extinguished.
For That is the star of my nation, and it will forever shine;
It is mine; and solely belongs to my valiant nation.
Frown not, I beseech you, oh thou coy crescent,
But smile upon my heroic race! Why the anger, why the rage? ¹
This blood of ours which we shed for you shall not be blessed otherwise;
For Freedom is the absolute right of my God-worshiping nation.
I am saying what I said before again!!
By saying this, do you think i am disrespecting our national anthem?
If some people think so, and raging with anger because of me saying that thenm too bad for them..
They can say whatever they like!! I did not care what they said previously, there is no indication from my part that I will take them more seriously this time..
-Ataturk..
Ataturk was not a god..Trying to think Ataturk was a god, itself is an insult to Ataturk..
He could be considered as a dictator in ´his time´ with today´s values..But so what?
He was a great politician as well as a one of the greatest soldier Turks have ever seen..As every soul in this world lies at some stage in life, I am sure he lied too..But so?
But he was a person for god´s sake..
"What he has done can NOT be shadowed" him being a dictator or he lied..
He was not a pagan god..
By saying this, do you think I am disrespecting Ataturk?
If some people think so and jumping up and down with anger because of me saying that, then, sorry but they will keep jumping up and down, higher and higher!!!
-And about respecting the dead people; because he died etc..
I have every single right to ´not to feel sorry´ about a person who died and I have every right to ´not to respect´ a person because he died..
As I said you can accuse me about it as much as you can accuse ´a Chilian not feeling sorry because of Pinochet died´.
And I made it claer about it in the relevant thread when I said, I can bring you the list about what murders he was associated with´.
Anyway..
The truth is, I am getting increasingly annoyed about the fact that people keep answering me with the swearings only.
It is tiring and annoying.
