I would like to propose a toast to "freedom of speech committee". Now we are all free to question validity of this remark.

 

P.S. I have already promised to find the book where the quotation was made from but it will take time.

Quoting mltm

Quoting vineyards

I wish all the religions went down the sink

Allegedly quoted from K. Atatürk

 

 I had deleted this claim without source but it was undeleted by the freedom of speech committee.

 

Such a claim without source is not accepted. Show the source, show a reliable source, show us who claimed this.

 

haha

 

http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Mustafa_Kemal_Atatürk

I have no religion, and at times I wish all religions at the bottom of the sea. He is a weak ruler who needs religion to uphold his government; it is as if he would catch his people in a trap. My people are going to learn the principles of democracy, the dictates of truth and the teachings of science. Superstition must go. Let them worship as they will; every man can follow his own conscience, provided it does not interfere with sane reason or bid him against the liberty of his fellow-men.

  • Quoted in Atatürk: The Biography of the founder of Modern Turkey, by Andrew Mango; "In a book published in 1928, Grace Ellison quotes [Atatürk], presumably in 1926-27", Grace Ellison Turkey Today (London: Hutchinson, 1928)
page no 463 lol

Accoırding to here Atatürk has a religion and he belives in Islam. If you can translate them in egnlish for others, it would be good.

 

And is it ok to quote whatever as long as we give its source?It can be any bulls***. If it is ok, in the coming days I´ll quote a lof of things just for the sake of freedom of speech.

You cannot just put forward such a claim and tell that I´ll try to find the source to this claim. Then find the source first.

 The wrong thing is you handsom you know lol

I like playing games as much as you do. I am as stubborn as you can ever imagine.

I´m interested in psychology and my ability of empathy is quite good. I know the things that you enjoy, I know your tactics. I am not going to give up and leave the site being defeated by your games under the cover of "freedom of speech". To your L O L s I have my L O L s, and in the future to your links I will have my links. I know my subjects.

So mltm, let´s see.. you asked for sources, you were given sources...now you take exception to the sources?  Last time I checked you had not been made and administrator.  You don´t get to make up the rules as you go. 

You seem to have a personal issue here with several members of this site and frankly you are looking a bit fanatical lately.  You can´t seem to make up your mind as to what you want!
