You have the belittlers, those who belittle others in order to protect their own poor sense of self and because of their own fear of being demeaned. There is something truly revealing about their low self-esteem. When you break the words up into “don’t be littleâ€, you see that the prescription has to be applied to thy self, before you can be in a place to lift up the self of another. Until they seek counseling to help free themselves from their defensive behavior, they will continue to cast shadows on the presence of those with whom they defensively interact with.
Then you have the communicaters, those who think they sound smarter when they use big words. The truth of the matter is that smart communicators use words that they understand and their readers are likely to understand. The purpose is to communicate, if the person reading your writing doesn’t understand what you are trying to say, it defeats the purpose.

Then you have people like me, who log on everyday to try to memorize a new word or two. Of course this is a futile effort because I get caught up in the latest posts about East Vs. West, Men Vs. Woman, Religion Vs. Ethics....I am only human and can't help tunning into the latest gossip. It is almost like when you encounter an accident on the highway...you can't help but look. I offer a new "type" of personality here on TLC...the Hopelessly Sucked In!! Gunaydin Class!

I wasn't referring to you in anyway Elisabeth. Your opinions must actually have more weight here than ours because this is a site for the learners of Turkish language and it directly appeals to you for that reason.
You are of course free to say whatever you want to. For example, what do you think about Turkish males? Your husband is a Turk. Does he oppress you? Is it nice to make generalizations the way catwoman and femme made. What is your own experience like?

Oh Elisabeth, You named it perfectly. I was learning grammar, and some new words, but got sucked into the distractions too. It is very distracting.

I know you weren't referring to me directly but since you asked what I feel about Turkish males, specifically my husband, I will tell you. My husband and I have a very normal relationship. He helps me cook, clean, take care of my son, I have never been oppressed. Of course in my opinion there is a HUGE difference between a well educated man and a very poor man who is despirate to change his destiny. I think many of the opinions about Turkish men are formed because of many women who encounter the latter. I have not lived their experiences, so I try not to judge other peoples opinions. I do, however, agree or disagree and say why. In doing so, I have been both agreed with or deeply critisized. I also realize when I am critisized that these people have not lived my experience so I try not to be overly sensitive about it.
Perception changes reality and vice versa...

Good. Do you find Turks a bit aggressive and barbarous because most of them are muslims? Could they have some genetic flaws as Femme_fatal asserted or do you think Turkish males including your husband are extremely indulgent in porn as catwoman claims?
