Look I really don't think it's funny that my every word has to be analyzed into pieces so it can be used against me. There are so many definitions of culture and it's a very broad word today, so I still stand by what I said in the first place. Just take a look at past topics, those who relate to culture or anything similar are often more or less overlooked. And it wasn't a negative statement that I made obviously, it was simply an explanation as to why the author of the thread was thankful that someone replied.
Just take a look at this thread, even. People are more busy nagging than actually caring about what it was about in the first place. Does nobody have anything to say about the original topic?

Quoting AlphaF: Cultur, in its broadest sense, is the ability to be aware. If your awareness allows you to believe innocent carpenters are happily building an ark on Mt. Ararat......so be it ! |
Is says they are volunteer carpenters, and what's wrong with wanting more focus on climate changes?
I'm not a big fan of Greenpeace but it seems like a nice cause.

I am sure Greenpeace will be so appreciative that you think their attempts to gain awareness and action to prevent global distruction are "nice"! And, pray tell, why are you not a "big fan"?

I'm not a "big fan" of them because of their sometimes blunt methods, but I'm not an expert on the subject whatsoever - however I also think it's irrellevant which organization instituted that because the subject of global warming etc. is an important matter in our time.

I think it is an interesting article and don't understand why people get off bashing another here. As I understand it, this is supposed to be a site to learn, and Turkish issues are of primary importance.
Please stop with the personal attacks.
I have noticed Azade the target of more than one of them. Please stop these personal attacks and let us incorporate some of that beautiful and wonderful Turkish grace and hospitality I'm sure we all love into our posts.

How dull! I am all for "peace and love" posts, but dont ask me to say nothing if I disagree with an opinion. If you don't like the discussion forum, stick to the lessons

Well I find it ridiculous for others to bash "people" on this site for taking up for broad-overgeneralizations by other "people" on this site!
I am part of that "people" group that has been classified as not interested in "culture". I have seen extremely long and on-going forums for poetry, music, literature, political, cultural and yes even religious ones go on for days...So I cannot understand why those LONG discussions aren't considered when making stereotypical statements that aren't even true.
Nobody is bashing or picking apart a single person here. Just that one cannot generalize about a mass group and expect that everyone is going to agree with that...
That is the beauty and downfall of this site. We are all individuals and each one has an opinion and a view point. As long as there is general respect, which is debateable as well, people should expect their everyword to be analyzed and debated!
