It never ceases to amaze me that there are so many radicals in the world who believe that the killing of innocent people is the way to have their voices heard.
In America, we just are days away from the 5th anniversay of the attack on the World Trade Center and other American targets. We still live with the horror of that day, but we did not let it stop us.
As millions of others do, in countries who have been targeted by terrorist far longer than we have, we continue live our lives.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all affected by this horrible attack.

Thank you for those who posted about the bombings in Turkey. I have been really busy with school work lately that I haven't been watching the news. But today I was able to check turkishclass and this particular thread caught my attention.

I hope the bombings stop and everything returns to normal. My prayers are with the victims of the bomb blasts.

Do you think the reality is what you see? Then you are one of the TV watchers and believe whatever you hear on the TV. An example;
Years ago I was in Marmaris and there were 3 bombings each 5 minutes. Guess what? The only broadcasting was there is BBC ! Right 3 minutes after the bombings.
Another point is "Police catched the bombers. They were Greeks with a tshirt on them written "Hellas"
On the news it said "PKK has the responsibility of the attacks. But in fact they were Greeks who wanted to ruin Turkish tourism and get all the tourists from Turkey to greece. And yes they did it. Everybody knew it in Marmaris. I guess the government also knew it thats why there were many bomb attacks in Greek islands about a week later . One of the turkish newspaper had a headline "Who might have done it!" Like kidding.
Anyway I was watching the beauty of Marmaris and Rhodes too which is very close to Marmaris and thought to myself "why do people want to make these heavens "a hell" The both sides of the Aege is so beautiful . well if i knew the reason i could be a politician or something lese. Luckily I am still a human.
Yes I believe this time PKK has the responsibility of the attacks but more important thing is "Who and why encourage this illegal terror group? Who is behind them? Then we can find the right answers. I believe these unhumanised people had order from others .... Is it being paranoia? Then we cant understand each other.
The things I wrote here not to the Turkish learners actually. Just telling you what Turks believe "including me"
I wish a world without any arms, weapons, nuclear power" and wish a world where people live in peace and harmony.
Wish you all the best

My prayers are with the victims and their families.
It is sad that many people in this world don't understand that they will not take anything with them on their final jorney.Why they don't stop killing innocent people and start loving each other? It is horrible to hear this kind of news. Isn't that enough that natural disasters kill people? There are enough places and resourses for all.

Quoting teo:

I, like you, never believe what's in the news. There is always a whole different reality behind the headlines.
Like you said, they blamed PKK but the real guilty ones were those greeks.

It's like every fire in Greece, for example. I remember years ago, listening in the news that Turks were setting fires in our most touristic places, to take the tourists away from Greece. The reality was that the guilty ones were not the Turks. They were all those greeks (i call them hawks) who wanted to build luxury villas and new resorts in the burnt forests.

I could give hundreds of examples. About almost everything I hear. But I guess you know already. Nothing is as it appears to be.

I watched a video yesterday, that drove me furious. It was an american broadcaster, explaining that all the pics and the videos taken from Lebanon during the recent war, were fake! MADE UP! And that there was no real terror or desaster there. Oh come on! Is there a single person in this world who would believe that? Well... probably there are and they are many. I don't. And to avoid getting more furious and sad each day, I chose to switch the TV off, long ago. It's only a useless piece of furniture in my living room.

I have brains and I love to use them. Brains and TV unfortunately, don't go together

In any case, it's sad and horrible, that innocent people are killed, injured or harmed to serve the interests of a bunch or creeps around the world.
