Thread: Plane crash in Poland

First, let me offer my condolences to the Polish members of this site and through them to all the Polish nation which is about all that we can do in the face of of such a tragic incident.

 

I frequently travel by plane. Though  it can´t be said I  have a phobia, I often think about the possibilities that involve environmental factors and human errors. I usually don´t feel at ease before the plane successfuly takes off or the wheels safely touch the ground. Many an accident happened because of a little something that happened without anyone noticing. Though most of them were absolutely avoidable, such mistakes do happen on and off often causing big tragedies. 

 

What has happened cannot possibly be undone. Poland must now find a way to make up for the damage this unexpected incident has caused. It is time to be strong and constructive.

Ok, so it’s not really a problem but I have a question. I can log into TC using my iPhone (when I click into the log on area my keyboard opens) but I cannot respond to PM’s or post any messages to threads.

 

Is there something different about the field that you type into in the log in area and the ones you enter posts into that keeps the keyboard function from opening on the iPhone?  {#emotions_dlg.unsure}

 

OK. Send me an Iphone so I can reconstruct the problem...

 

 

P.S. Just joking.



Thread: What do Turkish people expect from foreigners?

On the street where I live, women walk in g-strings and there are hookers and transvestites hunting at night. There are quite a few locations in Istanbul where this is a common sight. Usually these streets are sandwiched by the districts of middle income group. Not far away, there are the streets of poor working class-people and the streets they live in closely resemble the villages and towns of Eastern Anatolia they originated from.

 

These people built their homes on land illegaly seized from public property.  With so many houses built like this, they soon form a neighborhood and gradually become large illegal districts where hundreds of thousands of people live bereft from public services such as water and electricity (both of which are often stolen from public property).

 

In Turkey, illegal housing shows a mad increase before elections. Politicians and municipalities offer ownership certificates in those newly formed districts. These are the times when land mafia makes it big in a completely tax free environment. These mafia type organizations pave the road for crime, violence and bigotry in these surroundings.

 

Naturally, these people live as aliens to the host culture. Having said that, this host culture is actually formed by older generations of emigrants. It is hard to find a family living in Istanbul since five or six generation ago. That means the present city culture of Istanbul has hardly been an amalgamation of the past and present. Instead, it is a consequence of a wide scale pillaging of its propery and amassing of its domestic culture by villagers who have become both the perpetrators and the victims of this cultural slaughter.

There is also Ülkü Tamer who is both a poet, writer and a translator. He made translations from the likes of Yevtushenko.

 

What do you think about Yevtushenko?

Get out of my sight!
I´ll obey you right away!
Get out of my heart!
My heart will too.

Get out of my memory!
No!
Our brains shall not heed
Like shadows falling taller from afar
farther shall span the circle of grief that surrounds you
No matter how far my soul escapes
With its thick veil of grief, it will darken your memory

For I laughed and cried with you
Everywhere, everytime
I will always be with you

For I have left a piece of myself in all these places

Suppose I missed that one by teaschip.

She asks about whatever happened with a plan popped up in my mind ages ago. One night filled with a yearning for those old university years when people would go on vacations in large groups, this thought popped in my mind: a journey to Cappadocia with friends from Turkish Class.

 

I believe I am more of a dreamer than Daydreamer. I tend to forget basic facts when dealing with people hence, I am prone to be misunderstood. The result this time: cougar food.

Why do you think there are cougars in this world....it has nothing to do with maturity.  Yes, matter of fact I´m still waiting for vinyard to give me a tour of Turkey.  I wonder whatever happen with that plan..{#emotions_dlg.confused}

The thing is that, vineyards, I must be Nazi then, I tend to think exact the same way.

Although I dont think God created two races. God created two human beings.

 

But if you open your eyes, this is is the exact picture of the world. and its a fact. I accept and admit it.

 

Under the circumstances, you must not feel sour if I dub thee a neo-Nazi.

 

Although I would prefer you to make steps forward in your perception of the world...

You are welcome to enter any thread here as you have always been. You just made a generalization about Russians and Idealists (Romantics actually). This was in line with your previous remarks and I still feel my answer is consistent with your general discourse and that you would really benefit from reading that book which may help you make positive transfer from negative thinking.

oh no, now I regret I started this with you. {#emotions_dlg.head_bang}  never go to poems section,  {#emotions_dlg.head_bang}never go to poems section! {#emotions_dlg.head_bang}  this is a lesson.
