We can´t all be Trudy can we? Who knows whose way is right. Unless we communicate we cannot understand one another. If you read your own message once more, you too will realize it contains personal attacks. I would like to apoligize to you should you feel attacked by me in the past. We all three must be setting an excellent example to how far from perfection we humanbeings are. More than often, we write those long messages in the hope of defending a right cause. I know some people don´t even read them. I guess they irritate some others who prefer simplicity over sophistication. Well, I don´t chose your way but I don´t want you to peek fun at mine either.

At the end of the day, there is still a type of person, a European who detests any foreign elements in their society and put the blame for all the calamities in their society on those people. In this country too there are people who defend that Turkey would be hundred times better, if it was possible to send the Kurds somewhere else. The simple answer to this question is we can´t and you can´t either. So, let us not talk about an option which is not available to us within the human boundaries.

Excellent post Trudy. When you take your time and write down what you geniunely think about a contraversial subject such as this one, you avoid raising all those question marks in readers´s minds.

The formerly broad spectrum of the political scene has become converged over the recent years. Being against people of different ethnic origins (talking about legal citizens here) would be considered in the domain of a nationalist party. If someone is entitled to your citizenship, you have little to affect his/her cultural preferences. We have millions of Kurds living in this country. They are our legal citizens. No matter how culturally different they may be, we cannot just wish them leave the country. We must also take into account the nationalist sentiment within the country. When you start complaining of the Kurdish culture, you encourage over patriotic people whose slogan is either love this country or leave it.

These people belong to a patriarchal community which is very resistant to change. In this country, we are looking into years of education, an agricultural revolution, large scale incentive schemes to cure the problem a bit.

Thanks. Then let me clarify, I do not think Trudy is a racist. I just criticize her opinions about other religions, ethnic groups etc. 

 It is not a big secret that I am quite open to provocations. I shouldn´t be like that but I am. Somethings are not easy to change when you have come of a certain age. I do have a habit of guessing or maybe judgeing what lies behind what. I have met tons of people from all nationalities and I am aware of the way their reasoning works. You can´t be oblivious to all this racist stuff going on all around the Internet.

That the Danes wishing and all Danish country from their politicians are in the news. Our nationalists on the other hand desire an all Turkish Turkey. A while ago this was openly declared in the logo of a mainstream newspaper. If you are looking for more examples, hundreds more can easily be found.

I am personally sensitive about racism and find many of the world nations including Jews, Arabs, Poles, Finns, Spaniards, the French to be unnecessarily prejudiced about our nationalities or races.

I did not call Trudy a racist, I may have conditionally implied that which does not amount to a direct accusation. Logically, if she has a problem with the minorities in her country she could indeed vote for an extremist right wing party.

Strange. I find her to be one of the best looking actresses ever ( along with Jessica Lange) but I did not recognize this one.

At least, the reliability of my taste has been confirmed.

Thanks.

I agree with you Catwoman. Alpman has a superior vocal technique. She is also a Jazz singer and it shows.

Nilüfer on the other hand has a very sweet voice. This is a little bit like the rivalry between Callas and Tebaldi. Callas had what we can call as a nude voice that sang with staggering precision and authority. Tebaldi on the other hand had an angel´s voice and perfect precision. What one had was offset by what she lacked and vice versa.

Trudy. Answer me with ideas if you can.

Read my posts first (now that undertanding what you read is one of your strengths).

Then please answer them.

You seem to be  taking  every little opportunity to teach me a lesson when there is obviously not much that you can...

Just remember how you have unnecessarily labeled me so far (only the ones I remember):

that I have long toes

that I lack  sense of humour

that I am a misagonist..

What is next?

You know everything about  Turks don´t you. You don´t even have to actually know me...

Sense of humour as usual?

Who was this chick?

Time to get another PC.
