What is the reason for the TV show; the Pacific's needless and mis-guided historic senarios?
Recently, a TV show started; "the Pacific". Personally, I think it is one of the best TV show productions after Lost and How I Met Your Mother. However, -unfortunately- while watching this production in which we especially see the meaningless battles in the World War II (it seemed a little bit so to me), it came with some absurd and incorrect comments in the senario. In the third episode of this show, in Australia, a Greek woman specifies that she came from the old country (Greece); Smyrna (of which real name is Izmir). Then, the US soldier says "that was sacked by the turks, wasn't it?" and she answers "the turks invaded in 1922 and burned it down. All gone." What I mean is at least may the producers be honest, if the writers cant! And with this mood of having one nation as a favour and other one as against, why the writers need to create new discussions between Greeks and Turks? Doesnt it look like an international crime with these fake stories?
For who dont know what happened in 1922; it is the year when Turkish people has won their independency war against The Entente Powers after the World War I, building a republic, laic, and independant country instead of the reactionists' theocratic empire which turned into a German colony in its last years. The last centuries' hero; Ataturk has took Izmir back as it was already in Greek invasion and belonging to Turks for almost five centuries! So why should Turks need to sack Izmir while capturing to live on it? I know as Turks, we are not perfect, and might have made mistakes unintentionally, but, dont your think it is so unfair that while ignoring the events in which Turkish people were killed, these words are coming up with a fake innocence?
And for who dont know Ataturk; he is the founder of Turkish Republic and owner of this saying "Peace at home, peace at world."
Please, do not misunderstand me, I have no specific targets for any nation; I am only against the racism including my country, but, cannot be quiet against this psychological fight with many slanders included.

9 AnswersTurkey1 decade agoWhy Russian newspapers and foreign affairs of Russia are so funny?
In an article quoted from the newspaper Izvestia (Russian Известия ), Russian says "the weapon providers for Georgia (the USA and Turkiye) are responsible from the civilian deaths in South Ossetia"
A similar comment was declared by foreign affairs of Russia.
So they bomb a city, cause many civilian deaths, but the responsible is someone else, ha? Very funny.
I wanna make them to remember that Russia has given many weapons to Serbians and caused a big genocide.
Russian friends, please be fair and think. In this war, not only Georgians die but also Russians...
10 AnswersRussia1 decade agoWhat the luck are you talking about?
Yes, Turkiye beated again. However, what i read from some people's comments, it was written "Turkiye is only lucky".
could you just tell me where is the luck of not giving up and fighting until the last second of the game?
in Swiss match, the goal scored by Switzerland was thanks to the rain, but then, the rain stopped and we controlled the game, overplayed well and scored two times.
in Czech match, the referee didnt let our central defender to join the match after a quick recovery for two minutes by the second goal scored by Czechs.
in this latest match, in the first half, our penalty in which Tuncay was got fallen, wasnt given.
Also, we have many disabled footballers, but also interestingly we have the most punished footballers in number.
so we have not also beated our rivals but also beated referees.
Fatih Terim will force himself very much in Germany match.
So where is the luck with our indisputable goals scored with bravery and not throwing up the sponge?

2 AnswersOther - Spain1 decade agoWhat do you think about Joost Lagendijk threatened Turkiye with stopping the joint process to the EU?
Delegation to the EU-Turkiye Joint Parliamentary Committee, Joost Lagendijk said that if AKP (Our reactionist party) is closed, then, it will probably stop that the joint process of Turkiye to the EU.
As the EU supports the terrorists of PKK to kill people in Turkiye, it also supports the reactionism and this party in the government. Also wants Turkiye to go to a reactionist and theocratic way like Iran with the ignorance of Turkish laws. Although AKP insulted laicism, Turkish laws and values many times under the name of religion, some ignorant EU members see the action of closing this reactionist party as undemocratic process. Well, democracy includes to close an illegal party to the constitution as well, if u dont know. Besides, this threat is very funny because when this concessioner AKP is closed, Turkiye will not want to join the EU with so many so-called democratic changes like 301th law, anyway.
Dont you think the EU supports AKP because of its many concessions to the EU?

3 AnswersJapan1 decade agoWhen will The Europa name Turkiye as a terrorist country?
European Court of Justice striked the PKK terrorist organizaton from the terrorist organizations list.
Nothing could hurt anymore! The killers of 30 thousands of people are being supported! Of course, the human rights staff, right?
Then, why Turkiye shouldnt support terrorist organizations and killers for Europa?
Well, in fact, the drawee here is our reactionist and brainless government which makes many concessions to Europa.
Do they suppose that they are freedom fighters? Then, why do they kill kurdish origined people and burn their villages? Why are the people living in the South East Anatolia threatened by the PKK? Do they know the PKK has snipers and propagandists from Armenia and Iran who are against Turkiye? What does this ignorant court know about the PKK?
All i can say is BRAVO EUROPA!
What do you think people for this humanity action?
3 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoWhy does the EU press Türkiye to remove Turkish 301st law from its constitution?
Why are they so desirous about this issue? Is it about human rights? (if yes, i will write a list of similar laws from European countries) or is it about making the Hezbullah, Al Qaeda, PKK and other terrorist organizations' propaganda and propagations easier and provide Turkiye to stay a weak country in its geopolitical location to liken to a colony?
7 AnswersTurkey1 decade agoWhen has AKP and its supporters been so democratic?
Once upon a time, they would think it was a sin. The democracy, the science, the USA, even Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Of course, i dont mean all AKP supporters.
Well, now, they fell in a great love with the first three one. Maybe, sometimes they make positive comments about Atatürk and laicism, but, they dont and cant love Atatürk&laicism as much as the democracy (in words) especially in recent years. You know, their identity, view and thoughts are just like a top spinning and spinning. And AKP was brought a suit for its illegal actions to turn it off like a bulb which is also their symbol. Now, they are all shouting "democracy! democracy! the public has chosen us. democracy!" as if we are playing a children game, and these comments are to stop turning off action. Pathetic, isnt it?
What i wanted to ask is can the democracy be an excuse for their undemocratic and reactionist way of thoughts and actions? When did they become so democratic?

"Greece VS Turkiye... who will win?"
this is no game. this makes people to be enemies against each other. in the great first and second world wars, millions died just because of silly reasons and racism. for example, an armenian fascist shows up and says "thumbs up greece and armenia and thumbs down turkiye"; is this right? i like greece and armenia, but, i hate fascism...
so, we, turks and greeks shouldnt let any snags among us...

2 AnswersTelevision1 decade agoHAVING AN IDEA WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE? how?
There are many people who has no knowledge of turkish history and politics. but, interestingly, somehow, all of them have an idea about these stuff. i wanna ask them how they could have an idea about kurdish people because questions are one-sided and also ignorant-sided. what books did they read? or just heard from someone a couple of words and understood this issue?
there are many different origined people in turkiye like sunni, alevi, kurd, laz, cherkes, shafi, hanefi and so on. but, as a result, they are all turkish. if they come up with an establishing a new country for themselves, i dont know how many pieces do we have to divide turkiye to! but, this is impossible because all people in turkiye live peacefully except the little ones that filled up terroristic thoughts. pkk, which was founded by some racist kurds, have killed more than 30 thousands of people without distinction whether the victims were kurdish or not, children or not, european or not, american or not.
