Me and people like me who grew up with the rhetoric etc...?

 

As usual, you are talking straight out of your ass my angry friend.

 

You don´t know a thing about me, where I grew up, or how I was raised under what rhetorics.

 

There is no personal attack here. Just my personal sentiments about what an authentic clown you are.

 

Now go on. Rant a little more. Amuse us further.

So you have decided (again ) to stage a personal attack, rather than talking about the subjects I post..Eh?

 

First of all, I am not worried a tiny bit about my Turkishness..

 

Well you and people like you who grew up with the rhetorics such as ´One Turk equals to the world´ and believed in it by heart, would have different understanding of Turkishness than I do and that does not surprise me at all..

 

And about people and their Turkishness..

Well..What can I say..

Lets put it this way:

People kill Hrant Dink, they claim they are ´real Turks´ 

People kill Ugur Mumcu, they claim they are ´real Turks´ 

People take kurds from their homes and put a bullet into their necks, they claim they are ´real Turks´..

People take kids to the courts they claim they are ´real Turks´

I wonder, is it just Turkish men that have a preoccupation with Turkishness? {#lang_emotions_unsure}

I think it is more the foreigners who seem to have a preoccupation with Turkishness.

 

The word Turkishness is not really part of my vocab as a Turk. I don´t know about other Turks though. As far as I am concerned, Turkishness is a bogus mosnomer which doesn´t mean jack...

 

Does Americanness or Britness mean anything?

 

Should people be taken to courth for being un-Turkish or not fulfilling their share of this so-called Turkishness?

 

I think not.

Well it seems like, they are obsessed with my Turkishness here. lol

It has always been a common thing  between Turks to accuse others being less Turk..

Specially the ones, I mentioned in an earlier post.. I mean racists, fascists..

Feel free not to read them.

 

Whether lecturing or not, there is at least some content to my posts. Regarding those other posts made by certain individuals on a regular basis, where there is a lack  of content, but a multitude of venom-spewing, I surely do lecture whether anyone likes it or not.

 If I say what else has content too, I get warned for insulting but I´m sure your imagination is good enough to think of some yourself.

I actually don´t understand what you mean by this.

 

What I am saying is that I don´t particularly care whether you find my tone arrogant or lecturing. If you care to read my past posts and replies to others, you would notice that I do put the effort to provide content and the evidence to support my arguments.

 

From time to time, I do take excursions into crudity like anyone else on this forum. what´s your point?

I think not.

 

 

 

 I was thinking more regarding the discussions here on TC and men as opposed to women.

 

As for being taken to court, how can anyone measure Turkishness?  I would say it can´t be measured, in which case taking someone to court would seem inappropriate. 

 

I presume the court cases result because of breach of article 301.  From what I read, it was introduced in 2005.  Was there anything in place before then? 

 

I can´t see how breaching article 301 makes a Turk  "un-Turkish", there are so many facets to a person´s culture and national identity. 

 

Hmm. . . I wonder what would happen if 301 was repealed . . .
