Quoting E.T.K.O: Imperialistic US kittens first . |
I thought it was polite to let Turkish nationalists go first, not to make them feel inferior just because the Ottoman imperialism is over..

Quoting AlphaF: People actually pay to listen to some of my ideas you so easily disrespect here... |
does it include this one too?
Quoting AlphaF: I can understand what you have, to make your Turkish friends happy: It can not have anything to do with your intellect.
Have a ball! |
so people really pay to hear this kind of opinion from you... what an "intellectual" crowd they must be.
Quoting AlphaF: AlphaF is a Turk, with international qualities and qualifications.
No one here can judge how far he can represent Turks in general...
|
do not think so highly of yourself, the only person who ever gave credit to the fact that you have international qualities and qualifications to represent Turks is yourself. i guess YOU are YOUR biggest fan. as far as i know all kinds of AlphaFs' are banned in my country.

Taksim on New Years Eve
I feel I have to post this alternative portrail of events in Taksim Square as opposed to the original post and the ensuing arguments and battle that commenced and errupted like a volcano. With accusations flying left right and centre, everyone knowing best and no-one actually there to witness the event.
I was once informed that the Zaman newspaper was no more than a pornographic paper, and regarded at the same level as the tabloid press i.e our Sun, Daily Mirror. They breed sensationalism by reporting untruths and exagerating events.
If you read down this report it says that ONE tourist woman from Australia was molested in the crowd and an IRANIAN man has been arrested for it. She hid in the pharmacy with her friends.
Now you can believe what ever you like, but I like to fall somewhere in the middle and tend not to hold too much stock on any reports, as they are always going to be slanted one way or the other, depending on the writers point of view.
So it seems that everyone jumps to the conclusion it was a Turk, (may be an easy excuse to accuse an Iranin), but I am saying that it is not right to be so judgemental before you know all the facts.
And as the New Year celebrations were actually cancelled in Taksim, this was an impromtu gathering - not that it makes any difference.

Thanks for the info. However, I am curious - why do "ensuing arguments and battles" bother you so much? It is a serious question.

I watched it on the telly (I think it was in kanal D and It was the presenter was Ali Kirca)
There should not be any denial about it.
It was so obvious.
I am so ashamed of it.

Unfortunately, you were misinfomed because Zaman is a highly circulated serious and conservative newspaper.

Quoting AEnigma III: Quoting SERA_2005: Quoting kaddersokak: Quoting SERA_2005: Quoting AEnigma III: Turkish warmth and hospitality? |
What is your problem exactly,if you don't like Turkey or Turkish people what exactly are you here for! All you do is try to argue against things and be negative.Just seems kind of pointless thats all. |
Sorry, but if you were one of the girls in the photo, you would not talk like that. |
I am not promoting the incident in the slightest i am simply raising a separate issue with Aenigma which excuse me for saying say so doesnt really concern you. |
Sera stop being so deeply offended when anything negative is said about your boyfriend's country but not at all offended when it is about your own country! I have many Turkish friends. We are just arguing light-heartedly - how come Turks understand it but you dont?
You say to Kaddersokak that your comment does not concern him/her. Why does MY comment concern YOU |
I didnt at any point say that i was offended i would apreciate it if you could stop attemping to talk for me.I was just asking you why you persist with this constant arguing towards anyone who doesnt 100% agree with everything you say.This is isnt called Aenigma class! Maybe its time you realised that people have things to say which you might not like but that doesnt stop people saying them no matter how many times you try and belittle them.And as for your comment on 'concern' my post on this occasion did not concern Kaddersokak because it was not addressed to him/her.If you look back you will see it was directed at you no one else.

Sera if you were not offended, then why did you comment on my post? How can you say that I was arguing - I wasn't arguing with anything - I made a comment about the post. Who exactly was I arguing with when I made that comment? The only person arguing was YOU

This perception is entirely of your own making. I love to debate with people who have different opinions. Did I belittle you? Are you so easily belittled?
