Quoting femme_fatal:

mrx,
thats it, when islamists and others attacked catwoman, you seemed enjoying it and didnt ask to close the thread? when they spoke things that may fit your mentality it was ok.
now when some clever turks spoke up, and you want it to be closed? strange, you think so?

now im pretty sure you posted the video with some purpose, always acting as innocent as angel. i dont trust you.

i ask admins not to close the thread.

really not easy to believe why this big anger femme,i respect to all,even if they are thinking different then me,and i never enjoyed when things gone wrong,but really not easy to belive how you can creat such a big discussion after an innocent video,and how you can blame me with not to be innocent?without don't know me,but seems you in a big rage with somethings,and trying to revenge for somethings??

It is very sad that a few harmless photos on YouTube can provoke such unreasonable behaviour. Opinions will differ but does that mean everyone is wrong?

Is it not about time this thread was locked??


simply, dont read!



Simply, I will do as I please, thank you.

That's just it, as others pointed out, this is not really an inncocent, 'harmless' video.

Quoting leander:

1-Only a small percentage of turkish people live in rural areas.
Vast majority of Turks live in cities.Only Istanbuls population reached 25 million which is more than 1/3 of Turkey...add other cities to that in which tens of millions of people live...So how come some people claim only people who live in rural areas,farmers are the only representatives of turkish "culture"?


According to the State Statistical Institute (DIE) 35 percent of the Turkish population lives in villages. There are only five cities with the population of one million and over: İstanbul, Ankara, İzmir, Bursa, Adana

People are putting huge words in their mouths "ISLAMIST! PROPAGANDA!" - are you even aware of the meaning of these harsh words? Maybe the current political situation in Turkey is making you jump at the slightest reminder of your cultural heritage but there's no reason to attack the rest of us who's more acceptive and appreciative of cultural differences.
What's the big harm in elder women in a village setting? They are an important part of Turkey's heritage and there's nothing suspecious about it.
This is just going way too far. If you're afraid of anyone slightly köylü then go around for crying out loud.
I for one have much respect for these women because of their obvious strength and knowledge on life.

I feel very sorry for you MrX67. I believe that for whatever reason this video brought up deep meaning for alot of people in very different ways. I truly do believe that for you, you only wanted to share this video which touched you. So sad that it turned into this. Just respect that others have their opinions and know that you had no sneaky intentions..... I believe you

I've just watched the video,and I quite liked the first part,showing traditional Turkish women in their dress,but it sort of got a bit weird in the middle showing women from Paris?or some other European capital,what was that all about?are they saying that the head-dress in Paris is available/wanted by the women of rural villages in Turkey?hahaha good one,or is it some poor attempt at showing the differences between a Republic and a Democracy?like they are botheredall a bit odd.
When the film changed in the middle I thought it was an advert for some small time Birmingham indian clothing boutique
I've been reading the posts and I can't see what all the fuss is about,so someone posts a badly edited political film to youtube and?There is a lot worse crap on youtube in my opinion.
Anyway I enjoyed the first bit they also look similar to the women in Chile and South America I wonder if there has been some social/cultural connection at some point in the past?
I think you are all nuts for trying to debate the bones off some little film clip
I might send one in showing factories pumping millions of litres of crap and chemicals into our seas and air,I wonder if that would get the same respect as this little clip?

qdemir - where did you find these statistics? I'd like to see how it was 20-30 years ago if there are any records of it

I canoot understand what are you talking about?
Do you know history?
Türkiye is the first country in the world to allow woman to vote in the the world history.
Anatolian Women have been electing prime minister, minister, deputy, governor, president of law court, general manager, director, professor...
They are engineer, doctor, teacher, expert, officer, merchant, businesswoman...and housewife...
