Oh I´ll tell you what they want.

 

FIRST THEY WANT TO F**K YOU.

THEN THEY WANT TO LICK YOU.

THEN THEY WANT TO TAKE YOUR MONEY AND SEND YOU ON YOUR WAY *starts crying* LIKE A DAMN LOVE LETTER. Thats what.

 

Wow ... that´s pretty bitter, and a pretty critical generalization of a whole nation.  I know that all Turks are not like that, and many westerners and other europeans ARE just like that.  There are good and bad everywhere ... {#emotions_dlg.rant}

Quoting upsy_daisy

 

 

You said this in your previous post:

Actually this is not like this for me, my family and my neighbourhood, but still the tabus are existing.

And now you say ths:

Well, actually those are not a problematic things for my neighbourhood(my family, friends etc...)

 

The thing that i have difficulty in understanding with your posts is that why you need to underline those words...Don´t you like your culture? Do you think you are wise and modern but those who still follow such traditions are fools and they still live in dark age or what? What is wrong with, for instance,showing respect to your dad by not sitting leg over leg in front of him? I am 100% sure when you are in front of a man of higher rank, you don´t even dare to sit, but just standing on your feet, the buttons of your jacket are buttoned up, not knowing where to put your hands bla bla bla...Is your dad is less respected than a mayor, for example, a public prosecutor or something like that?

 

Just one thing, if this is the thing you care more about the posts, then please we should not come together again... with talking...

 

This was even not the least thing you should understand...

 

Maybe you should have understood, i can not tell more because we dont use to apply such things around me, not because we are wiser or i hate my culture-though there are some points i dislike in order to be objective....- just we were brought up in a different environment...

 

And please leave it to me, how i show my respect to my parents At least you can do this for me...

 

Have a nice day

{#emotions_dlg.flowers} (daises for suigeneris since he is alergic to them and think we bring shame to this site while doing that-that mean be agree with comments whic he won´t be agree {#emotions_dlg.shame} )

 

That is what some (some= huge number ) turkish men expects. but as others said not all same, not all wants this.

Rest of them wants you took them abroad, they can work there, get citizenship dump you and bring their wife and kids You see, we all not that bad {#emotions_dlg.angel}...

one thing irritates me. isnt there any consideration for foreigners?

doesnt any signle turk come up with an idea of tolerance?

e.g. a foreign person doesnt know the customs thus behaves the way s/he behaves?

 

when a foreigner comes to my country I know she or he hasnt got a clue of customs, so I dont expect anything. nobody expects anything. we just know that they are foreigners. we are there to help them, to make sure that they feel home.

 

i mean what an arrogance to expect your guest to know the rules and stupid customs (yes, very stupid idiotic customs) and then to get angry if not followed?
