Well, there are so many other examples to breaches in people´s privacy.  Some of the paparazis could pretty well be in jail if they did not hide behind certain so-called freedoms. The tragic death of Princess Diana is one such example. I know some celebreties are voluntarily giving out their make believe personal secrets to those sharks but as a whole to what extend the whole paparazzi business must be considered in the framework of people´s right to be informed is a question mark. 

As for Google publishing photographs of streets, there seems to be no legal restrictions applying here. It is perfectly legal to take pictures of people in their natural environments. Otherwise, neither movies nor documentaries could be shot since common people are invariably pictured while they are doing their daily tasks. It is indeed bad luck for a married person to be pictured say with his girl friend in a box office smash hit. Whether it would be a spoiler or a a revelation is another subject.

After reading your message, the most striking contribution of hers seems to be her avoiding making a negative and impolite contribution like yours.

Why don´t you write on loo walls for a change. I am sure you will find vast audience in those circles. They will prefer to read your silly posts rather than listening to the sound of their own farts. 

 What are you talking about?

It all boils down to this. You say making fun of religions is OK. I say making fun of religions is ethically wrong. It is just a matter of which ethic code we are to use. Now that they use theirs and you, yours why don´t you make a few exceptions just to win hearts. If you ask me all beliefs are incredibly funny but I would make this statement just to put the record straight about my own stance and not because I have a problem with what other people choose to believe.  As a person who read both Quran and the Bible (a version of it), I would say both the Christian society and the Muslim society lead their lives almost completely outside the rules of their religions. So what we are talking here is not merely religion but also  culture.

Culture is an integral part of a person. It is not just a choice or preference either. It is how that person cooked as a result of constant exposure to his social setting. You can´t strip a person of his culture all too easily. Making fun of one´s culture will not serve anyone other than you. You will just entertain yourself this way. If I understand Jesus correctly, this is also against the main tenet of the Christian faith.

I can keep on writing all night but it seems there is simply no way to make you feel comfartable with this idea. I am trying to open a paranthesis in an area which seems absent or present in another form in your culture.

Furthermore, all my previous remarks about foreign people were about legal citizens. I am also against illegal immigrants.

Let cannons roar in honor of this great post

Teaschip, I will not bother to  copy and paste anything but I read your previous message in which you accused Obama and Carter of talking much but failing to provide real options for the solving of problems affecting women.

There are some facts you are ignoring, the Bush administration did not do anything to ease these problems either. The difference here being he simply did not care at all. He was the leader of a bombastic America that prefered the patriotic bullshit over reason. As a matter of fact, the Bush family are the close friends of Saudi Arabian Royal family. This partnership secures the Saudi style brutalitly and a complete lack of democracy to prosper and to be exported in the region.

I believe, Bush is the leader of simple people who has simply no idea about the real nature of global problems and about the ways to solve them.

As for Obama, he is obviously a well meant chap but I am afraid he will realize soon that the reins of the country have not been trusted to him exclusively.

Reminds me of a  song  by Aretha Franklin. You sometimes need to shout at the top of your lungs to be entitled to it.

So let´s sing together:

Daydreamer, we have a Polish village in Istanbul. The village is populated bt those  who escaped from a war and sought asylum in the Ottoman Empire. The sultan granted them a village which happens to be located in one of the enviable parts of modern day Istanbul. These people did not change a bit since the first day.

They observe the basic duties of citizenship in Turkey and continue to live on the way they learned from their ancestors. They are obviously Christian and therefore strangers in this newfoundland. We Turks are happy to eat at the restaurants and learn about the Polish customs they have preserved over centuries. Asking those people to become Turkish would mean oppressing them. I personally don´t want any non-Turkish person within this society to become a Turk eventually. There are Russians, Japanese, British and American people living their lives the way they want to. African Turks who have gained citizenship have not become Turkish at all. They are still African complete with their traditions and music and they are way nicer this way. What you are singing praises for is a misconception common among the citizens of richer countries. It is what the black population in America remembers with awe and hatred. Everybody wants to hold on to their cultures and everybody has a right to do so.

As for some Arabic or Turkish types chasing their women in the streets calling them "whores". Well, I am sure there is a law paragraph covering this in this country and that person really belongs in a prison rather than the streets. Aren´t there any Dutchmen out there molesting women and therefore deserving punishment. How come do you expect these people to be as educated as you are when they obviously lack any sort of education. The ethnic paranthesis there is just serves the purpose of putting the blame on cultures. These people would indeed be problems in their own countries too.

 There are robot submarines that can dive more than 6 miles beneath the sea. Nevertheless, these robot submarines usually have limited power and may not able to reach the black box through the debris surrounding it. Furthermore, if the plane had been fragmented before or after the entry into the sea, the  vastness of the area that must be covered would be another hinderance.

Just remember how long it took for a team of fully equipped specialists to find the remains of Titanic. There are so many ship wrecks waiting to be discovered. I hope they can find it before the automatic distress signal of the plane stops.

Good explanation. There are a few words with similar functions:

ADJECTIVE   (-ADVERB)

öbür - ü

öteki - si

baþka -sý

diðer-i

THE OTHER:

Bu olmaz öbürünü/ötekisini ver. This is not good, give me the other one.

Ayýn öbür yüzü. The other side of the moon.

Diðeri nerede? Where is the other one?

ANOTHER

Bu olmaz. Baþka yok mu? This is not good. Isn´t there another one?

Hayayýnda baþkasý var mý? or Hayatýnda baþka biri var mý?

Is there another person in your life?

Diðer günler hep boþum. I am completely free on other days.

Diðer taraftan. On the other hand.
