Quoting aenigma x: Quoting CANLI: Quoting aenigma x: Yet... you say "maybe there are SOME logical Western people"....in a vague, disbelieving way?
|
Well,not a disbelieving way really,but as a percentage,im afraid aenigma,the logical Western people are still some,regarding to the whole. |
Well I guess its your prerogative to judge people in any way you like. I assume you carried out a survey of all "western" (God, I hate that word) people to form this percentage?
Personally, if I meet someone new I don't make assumptions about them based on their nationality. I judge people by what they say and do. As INDIVIDUALS.
Still... each to their own... |
aenigma,its not an argumet dear,and no need for a survay nor assumptions.
You have democracy there dear,you choose your governments,so that indicates the logical Western people still SOME,right ?

Hmmmm. So if I took your reasoning, Canli,I would assume that all Turkish people agree that headscarfs should be banned in schools and universities, even though Turkey is 90% muslim?

Quoting aenigma x: Qdemir I was wrong! I made the mistake in thinking you were in support of the other Turkish posts here, when in fact it was just your obsession with teasing Catwoman  !
I do apologise and retract my comments to you. 
I am now going to commence reading of your 621 posts as punishment........  |
YES. I do support some of the other Turkish posts here, and also support some of the other users' posts. I DO support any argument or comment that (I think) says the truth irrespective to the nationality of the user.
What has catwoman got to do with the dialogue between you and me. Have I said or implied anything referring to catwoman? I never talk about the third parties as it is one of the pillars of my way of life. If I would like to reply any comment or argument by catwoman I just do it.
I don't have such an obsession with teasing neither catwoman nor anyone else, including YOU.

Sorry again Qdemir  . I was just doing what you asked me to
I checked your posts and notice that you spend a lot of time arguing and teasing Catwoman. I can only judge by what I see....

I think the most damaging part is that catwoman deleted her posts that crossed the line. Its easy now to say what she meant to say because its not here to be judged any longer.
Believe me, I criticisize something about Istanbul every day. The traffic, the air pollution, the hills, the traffic.... But making comments to criticize Ataturk is different. This would be similar to being on a Christian discussion board and damning Jesus.

Keith I didn's see Catwoman's post about Ataturk, but I do know that she has great admiration for him, as do I. Are you sure her post wasn't misunderstood?

A correction: 'I don't have... (not you)'
That's true I do often argue with catwoman. However, it is not an obsession.

I read her post, and I read it the same way as Akin and Aslı. I read it as a statement, not a sarcastic question. Furthermore, if it wasn't so damaging, why did she delete it rather than leave it and explain it?

Again, this site is about promoting Turkey and she is a site administrator. Even her quote stating that the raeson Turks shouldn't get VISA's is because "they don't go home" might be a little inapropriate for a person in her position.

It is a site about learning the Turkish language and discussing Turkey and its culture Keith. If you want to go to a "promotional" site, try the Turkish Tourist site.
The question kept arising about reciprocal arrangements with people residing in eachother's countries. We were just stating the reasons WHY those visa's are in place. Whether I agree with them or not is irrevelent.
