 Yes, i think so for "Armenian" word. People use "Armenian seed" as an insult. It is widespread. 332.000 results in google prove me. But you see what you want to see. You blame other nations easily. You don´t care if they use "Turk" as an insult widespread or not. I blame all nations and all people. You make an exception for Turks. Why? I like Turks. I feel as one. They saved my ancestors from Russian genocide. I am very grateful. But i should always speak the truth. I advise you to do so.

 

You should blame yourself as well, you accused si++ not saying the truth, what lie he told here simply? You should point it out. As many said here, Turks are not angels, no exception, so what your point? Its just tried to be proven here, Turks are not much welcomes in many countries because of prejudices and added it is not comparable to any other nation, and thats mostly depends on the opinions of people who are in contact with foreigners, and observations. If you dont believe, go and check some surveys in some foreign universities about "what nation of people do you want to meet?", of course Turks got the less votes because of our bad reputation which is spreaded by some propogands. Go and try to live in abroad, you will realize how is it, if you are a Turk of course...

Some Turks use "çingene(gypsy)" word as an insult too. It is accepted saying "çingene" is an insult like saying "nigger". Instead of "çingene" sensible people use "roman" For example some says "Çingeneler gibi kavga ediyorunuz [ You argue like gypsies ] " It is an insult. Don´t you agree?

 

 

This is valid for many nations, no need to be mentioned especially for Turks, go and say Serb "gypsy", see what response you got...

 Si++ says it is not widespread to use "Armenian" as an insult. This is not true. I blame all nations and people. I don´t blame only Turks. But si++ tries to make an exception for Turks. This is not true also. Turks also insult other nations. What don´t you understand?

Yes thats correct, we dont use "Armenian" as an insult, we use "ermeni dölü" as an insult, but many use word "Turk" as an insult according to si++

You can open youtube on any topic and find crazy people who hate it. I´m sure you can also find a youtube video on anything else that´s hated. People rant about how much they hate cheese on the internet, and below will be a list of people who agree with it, and also hate cheese. That doesn´t mean that everybody hates cheese.

 

Yes, there are enough people that don´t like Muslims. Just like there are enough people who don´t like Christians. Check youtube for videos of those Christian infidels and see the remarks under there! That doesn´t mean that all non-Christians hate Christians. Youtube and internet forums are not a right reflection of reality. Otherwise, when my friends and I would be walking down the street we would all be attacked for being Hindu/Muslim/Jewish/Christian girls. There is ALWAYS somebody out there who hates you but rolling around in that victim role, saying that everybody hates you never ever helped anybody.

 

I was wondering, is there perhaps a famous Turk who did something good for the dialogue between people? Between religions or ethnic groups? I heard the word gypsy being used as a curse word many times in Turkey, so perhaps there´s a famous Turks who stands up for a dialogue and making people see that no, gypsies won´t steal your baby for money (yes, somebody said this to me once).

 This proves my theory. "All people has egoist natures" Most of people thinks their nation is the best on the world.

Yes thats correct, we dont use "Armenian" as an insult, we use "ermeni dölü" as an insult, but many use word "Turk" as an insult according to si++

 

 Are you joking? "Armenian" word makes "Armenian seed" an insult. We don´t use "döl(seed)" as an insult. Oh my god. I can´t believe you. I will never argue a thing with you. "People see what they want to see". This is my last post about this matter. I proved every word i said. You are bending logic. Have a nice day.

Yeah we dont use only " döl" as an insult, we used two words to make it insult "ermeni dölü", is it so hard to understand? The word "ermeni" is used for "Armenians" the people who live in Armenia...
