To these ignorant clowns, the only reason why we, the "more educated Turks" may appear as "close-minded militaristic patriots" is perhaps because that is the image we portray on purpose.
OMG why was this NOT DELETED immediately!  ......

In fact, it´s interesting to see all the mods, with the exeption of the language forum, are female,
I beg to differ! 
TheJanissary has today volunteered to become moderator of the Lounge

This only goes to prove my point that objections are not about what is said, but WHO is saying it. Both Alameda and Canli are the biggest objectors to "insults" and yet when the insults come from a different direction (maybe towards those who they object to) then they find it perfectly acceptable.
It works exactly the same way in the other direction too - with other mods finding posts acceptable if they are posted by "allies".
The interesting thing is that I am frequently called a hypocrite for one moment agreeing with a person and then the next, disagreeing - how DARE I suddenly agree with Canli on a post, or Libralady or Alameda?!!! Perhaps that is because I respond to the POST not the person? I am no angel, but you people sure do take the biscuit
Well there is a difference between provokateurs and those who respond. Once provoked, all bets are off. I´m reminded of the picadores and the banderilleros, but at least the matador doesn´t act surprised when he gets gored by the bull.
You may not agree with my ideas, that is your right. When it becomes personal, it is quite a different matter.

If you pardon my saying so, your posts are extremely provocative...

World´s First Flight of Flying Car .
The Terrafugia Transition drove down the runway and the world´s ´ first flying car ´ made its debut as it took off and flew through the skies, before landing safely at the New York State airstrip , paving the way for personal flight transport ..... suddenly in control of a two seater four wheel car , which can drive at highway speeds and be stored in your typical garage . Other flying cars have been demonstrated before, but this is the first proven model with foldable wings which allows it to seamlessly transfer from air to road . Meanwhile refueling involves no more than driving into the nearest forecourt and filling up with unleaded petrol .
The car_plane will cost around $ 194 ,000
