Let me tell you a joke. In the aftermath of the great war, three Albanians who had newly emigrated to Turkey were walking around in Istanbul. They knew only three phrases in Turkish: biz, on para and ha mori hay hay meaning alright. At night, they come by a well in the bottom of which a corpse was lying. A policeman appears and asks them about the dead man.

-Cop: Who killed this person?

-Albanians: Biz!

-Cop: Why did you kill him?

-Albanians: 10 para.

-Cop: Bastards, so you killed this guy for ten cents. Hold your hands up you are arrested.

And the Albanians say, Ha mori hay hay and they follow him.

Your dialogues with people are more or less like that. There is no hope of communicating with you.

A decent person would not write the things you wrote in your post. I have a simple policy, I don´t say the words, I wouldn´t say when I am face to face with a person. I think it is a bit coward and unmanly to bark from a distance but the Internet is a good hide out for cowards isn´t it?

There is no doubt, some of us suck in many respects.

Discussing preferences about skin color? What a superficial way to evaluate people. Throughout my life, I have never thought about the skin color of the people I get in touch with. Boasting of fair complexion, singing the virtues of a darker skin... What is the use of all of this?

Read this:

"On September 11, 2008, Saudi Arabia´s top judge Sheikh Saleh al-Luhaidan called for the owners of TV stations broadcasting what he called "immoral" TV programs to be killed. In what amounted to a fatwa, Luhaidan said, "It is lawful to kill... the apostles of depravation... if their evil cannot be easily removed through simple sanctions." The Sheikh, who heads the Kingdom´s Supreme Judicial Council, made his remarks last Thursday on a radio program in response to a caller who asked about Islam´s view on satellite TV channels that broadcast "bad programs" during Ramadan. The remarks were then rebroadcast by the Saudi-owned satellite TV station Al-Arabiya. "What does the owner of these networks think, when he provides seduction, obscenity and vulgarity?" said Luhaidan. "Those calling for corrupt beliefs, certainly it´s permissible to kill them."

These days newspaper headlines say the US is preparing to sell $60b worth of military equipment. The US is known to have been a keen protector of the regime in Saudi Arabia and boasts intimate trade links with the countriy´s Royal family. Saudi Arabia is rich but it is run by sheria at the hands of radical Islamists offering simply no freedom to any life style other than that of Islam. Israel is not objecting to the deal either. They have no problem fostering this regime. No talk of barbarism or lack of human rights. What can we say? They are paying for the privilege.

I´ve found this a bit freaky. If finger nails turn him on, why would you go and see a doctor?

J;esus was a Jew who thought usury was wrong. Did people heed his words  the entire modern day economy would shape up a lot more differently. Today, there are Christians divided into sects living a life what they call Christian and I think this whole thing is the biggest defamation ever done to a person. It has simply nothing to do with what Jesus wanted to teach.

Anyone who calls himself or herself a follower of Jesus Christ must open up his heart to compassion, a compassion of people dead or alive without seeking reciprocity. Those who love Jesus know the meaning of sacrifice and decency. I am an agnostic and I consider both Mohammad and Jesus as ordinary persons just like you and me. I would however buy Jesus´ cause and admire the way he wanted to convert his people. Unfortunately, both prophets are failures from a spiritual point of view because the moral values they wanted to spread did not last, and remained in the ashes of history.

Jesus was crucified in this world by people like us, people in whose mindsets government, economy and social stability are preferable to any virtue. Wars are still being fought for this reason and that was also the reason why Jews collaborated with their greatest enemies -the Romans, for the elimination of another Jew who they say, had never committed a single sin but tried to make people better individuals with all his power.

I understand that you don´t like the persons I quote from. After all, one of them is a proven womanizer with a decadent life style and the other is a right wing extremist. Nevertheless, they have a point with the things they said. Furthemore, this subject is a bit like a taboo for the venerable world leaders who can´t risk offending the big brother.

Anyway, would you explain your own idea about Truman´s role in the bombings and whether he committed a war crime by targeting all the people (civilians) in two cities? Do you think nuking large cities in order to debilitate the enemy can be considered an ethical option.

I am crystal clear about this. If I was in his shoes, I would NEVER EVER take an inhuman decision like that and I firmly believe the perpetrators of this despicable historical act deserve to be damned forever.

Interestingly, the right wing French politician Le Pen considers Harry Truman and his government as a bunch of war criminals just like I did before. He says: "If we talk about war criminals, aren´t those who bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki also war criminals?" he asked, referring to the US nuclear attacks on the two cities on August 6 and 9.

I sometimes walk around in my boxer at home. I also wear a pair of 3D glasses and look like a techno nerd. Did I mention? I speak five languages.

So far, people have been voting for charismatic and good looking leaders. I think people secretly dislike high IQ leaders. They prefer politicians who talk the way they can understand. Intelligent people tend to be aloof and they put a distance between themselves and society. I would like to see a US leader who can win the hearts of the people all over the world with his excellent human qualities. That is a proven way that leads to stardom for a political leader. Remember Ghandi.
