Quoting lemon

 

 

Maybe the media stirring it up because nothing was done in this regard? There must be a reason? I dont know.

 

 Yeah, that´s exactly it. Because some part of media is stirring it up, RTE is getting angry. You can find the clues about his anger in yersu´s post.

Quoting Yersu

I don´t see anything wrong with posting this, however I think the area and the ethnicity involved should have been clearly mentioned. I have said this before in threads about honor killings, passing these off simply as "Turkish" is misleading.

 

 

Exactly !! you said this before and immediately labeled as racist as far as i remember...{#emotions_dlg.lol}

Quoting spritzer

 

prop·a·gan·da

 1.
 
information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to help or harm a person, group, movement, institution, nation, etc.
not sure but seemed to fit the bill to me when Trudy posted to very negative news articles and after which Catwoman suggested I suffered from weird turkish mentality ( nice racist comment coming form a moderator and very insulting to half the members here )to the comment about gender issues  to further insults . The only reason why this is continuing is because of people like you who feel the need to throw stones instead of making a positive comment either way. By the way welcome back you have been gone for a month from here did you get a email begging you to throw your 2 cents in for the sake of feelin important and a good little fence sitter.

 

 

 

Well aren´t you just the sweetest thing to take notice of me and think that I´ve been away but really I haven´t....I just haven´t posted.  {#emotions_dlg.lol_fast}

 

I find it strange that you would think someone emailed me and asked me to comment.......Oh wait!!!!   Is that how it works for you?  Is that why you posted about this topic?  Who was it that asked you?  Can you share the email?  Oh this is so intriguing!  {#emotions_dlg.laugh_at}

 

Now if you would be so kind, please tell me and the rest of the class.......what stones did I throw exactly?  Did I say anything about your hormone level? Hhmmmm.......No I didn´t. 

Did I accuse you trying to gain 5 minutes of fame by posting (such an odd comment by the way...)?  Nope, didn´t do that either...... 

Were you insulted because I suggested you have a spritzer (which you obviously enjoy since you named yourself after it)....................OR were you just pissed because someone else weighed in on the topic and didn´t agree with your rhetoric?  {#emotions_dlg.think}

Since the influence of mainstream media. If you dont repeat after their slogans you are a narrow-minded bigot and racist.

well trudy I am surprised they do happen considering your country has all those prostitutes lined up for the taking - what is the legal age there for sex 14?

oh my mistake  I just found this

The Netherlands

Partij voor Naastenliefde, Vrijheid en Diversiteit (Party for Neighbourly Love, Freedom, and Diversity) is a Dutch political party founded in 2006.[28] The party currently has no parliamentary representation and did not receive enough signatures to partake in the 2006 elections.[29]


 

That political party doesn´t exist. It was founded by a bunch of pedofiles, and everybody except for those pedofiles was outraged in Holland. But to be a real political party in Holland you need enough people to sign a paper for you, that they stand behind your party... ofcourse they didn´t get enough people to sign it. (As your quote acutally shows!) It´s okay for people to base their opinion of my country on news, as long as the news is actually what happened.

 

The legal age in Holland is not 14, it´s 16. But for a much older person to have sex with somebody under the age of 18 can also lead to problems. It will also not become 12... The legal age for sex is 12 though in one country that I know of, Vatican state! Yes, where the pope lives. In Turkey the legal age is 18, for the ones who want to know. What is strange, is that with parental consent, and with legal consent one can get married at the age of 16... hmmm. First two years of marriage without sex...yeah right.

 

And about the ethnicity of the people who did horrible things with little kids. I don´t think raping little kids is part of any culture or race in Turkey. Honour killings, that´s open for discussion. Women rights, open for discussion. Many issues, open for discussion. But going after infants isn´t okay in any ethnic culture in Turkey. (I wanted to say "in any culture anywhere" but I remembered people in certain countries who rape babies to be "cured" of hiv )
