My heart ached when I saw them in Istanbul





According to a National Geographic article of December 1914, most of the street porters were Kurds or Asia Miner Turks. Another National Geographic article from May 1915 says that the hamals had strong organized unions entirely controlled by the Kurds. Hamals proceed at a steady pace and carry everything from crates of chickens to up right pianos on their backs.

I guess they don't have moving equipment or forklifts..my goodness what back breaking work. I hope these men have good chiropracters.

Teaschip, these poor fellows, just image the consequences to their backs when they reach a certain age.

Do these men do this everyday? I also have made an observation in which I may get some flack for. But I have noticed with Turkish men they age sooner it appears. I just wonder with all the hours they work, this surely would cause someone to age quicker. Especially carrying all that weight.

I notice more lines around the eyes than anything. Even men in their 20"s. Yes, smoking and the sun doesn't help either.

everybody do their own jobs. carrier carries luggages, doctor cares patients, footballer plays soccer, porn stars have sex in the films(as i do), singer sings songs, writer writes novels, butcher sales meats, plumber repairs faucet etc... that's why, it's no use crying to the other people who have hard occupations. if you do your best in your job, that's okay, and everybody would show respect to you and it's one of the big virtues in life i think. foto piacevoli.

ognuno fa i loro propri lavori. l'elemento portante trasporta i bagagli, pazienti di cure del medico, calcio dei giochi del footballer, stelle del porn ha sesso nelle pellicole (come), cantante canta le canzoni, produttore scrive i romanzi, le carni di vendite del macellaio, il rubinetto ecc di riparazioni dell'idraulico… ecco perché, è uso che grida all'altra gente che ha occupazioni dure. se fate il vostro la cosa migliore nel vostro lavoro, quello è giusto ed ognuno mostrerebbe che il rispetto a voi e ad esso è una delle virtù grandi nella vita penso. piacevoli di foto.
serio su quello?
lol lol

----it's no use crying to the other people who have hard occupations.



Sure, everybody should get respect for the job they do, when they do it well. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't try to make working-standards of people who have a difficult job a bit better or more comfortable.

Obviously it's no use to just cry, but to raise awareness and think about it, there is nothing wrong with that. We don't all have a lovely job surrounded by naked women in a comfy bed! (or are you in gay or trannyporn ) Just know that my respect for you will be totally gone in case your porn-productions are part of the many many women-traffic connections and pornproducers who force women into these business.

Deli, richtig. Sein Versuch gelang ihm allerdings nicht so recht. Aller Anfang ist schwer. Verzeih, wenn ich jetzt etwas kritisch reagiere: sein Deutsch war mehr oder weniger ein echtes Kauderwelsch.
