 Mods and admins only can delete the messages,and in some certain cases only.

Ýf one can delete his own message for any reason,it would make the threads some how not logical,i mean specially at debats

And when others read them,they would feel it not logical or strange,but you can modify it as you did .

And im leaving it as it is

I of course sympathise with the guilty before proven innocent and the accused´s family.

however,

The article was apparently regarding a ´mob mentality´ in dealings with people and to ask WHY the mob of people are taking the law into their own hands.

 

The objective would therefore be to wonder why?  is it that the legal system in these parts of turkey where this is happening..has been too slow in the past for victims of child abuse or whatever the lynched person has been accused of doing?  why are the people taking the law into their own hands?

 no, they lynch everyone they suspect of crime. it is related to honor killings, and its done and very popular throughout islamic countries and maybe in south america.

what legal system? what for? who cares? we deal it our way, this way our ancestors dealt, and this way we will deal.

the blood must be shed, we need to see the blood, revenge. now, kill. and mob goes out full of anger and hatred.

this is how are dealt all the honor killings.

 

but of course, we dont pay attention to the reality, to what happent, to the victims, no. we discuss wether the title was correct or maybe people dont know what lynchings are, therefore we provide links.

then we discuss about maybe how america is bad. or maybe the system failed?

 

people, sometimes i hate you, i do hate you. there are thousands and thousands are killed daily, but you discuss if it should be a mob attack or a lynch.

or how heroic is cuba.

 

you made me angry. and i HATE you.

Don`t tell us that in America, people respect all the minorities, that`s just a cheap lie, and I know this from experience, I also know how Americans still hate Cubans just like they hate Mexicans. Not to mention about muslims and middle esatern people of course.

 

 I think you are generalizing.  In fact, I know you are.  It´s obvious you don´t like America, but to be honest most Americans are very accepting of different cultures.  You are talking about a very small percentage of people in America who are racists....but racism exists everywhere.  When I lived in Europe, I saw plenty of it.  When I stayed in Saudi when my father was stationed there, I saw hatred amoung Arabs and non-Arabs and in staying in Turkey, I have seen it.  The fact of the matter is, many more Americans than not like Barrack Obama.  Even those of us who did not vote for him are proud of his rise to power and that we have finally seemed to break at least one racial barrier.  I would be very sad to see anything bad happen to him.

 oh, and when you say the title is incorrect does solve the problem?

when you show your concern maybe then it touches people´s hearts and shake them a bit? talking about them and taking them to a light and make public think about that makes a difference. its not just a sensation, its peoples life, you just cant ignore honor killings.

but if you do ignore then you are just a cow. i cant put more simple as this.

well you are right but you will not eliminate evil from the world, no matter how angry you are. you might be able to make a small difference if you approach it well... but definitely not through alienating poeple, but only when we all come together. you are right that we need to inspire each other
