This all seems like politics to me; similar to proposing a gay marriage ban amendment to the constitution when you know it won't succeed.

Latest news :
TRT1 -the state's TV channel that generally has to be "modified" everytime a government comes into power- has stopped the broadcasting of the cartoon "Winnie The Pooh" since it has that little pig called Piglet in.

Who is offended ?? Because of a figure of a innocent cartoon pig ? No way, we haven't gone that insane yet. It's all of spider-mind politics up there. :furious3:
GET THAT UGLY THING OFF MY FACE! ARGH! I'M GONNA SUE YOU! YA HEARD ME! SUE YOU!!!!11one!!!1elevent!Quote:

I don't really have a problem with the Turks in general, if they want to join, but politically the country is too much of a mess to make it feasible imo.
Of course, every EU politician wants his name associated with the 'expansion of Europe outside of its natural borders'. Friggin" glory hounds... :furious3: :furious3: :furious3:
Agreed. We shouldn't be in the EU. Who called for that ? Ataturk had refused the offer years ago, so did Bulent Ecevit once. And now that pathetic government pushed us all inside without informing what would be happening during the phase.
We are not European, what they demand for the integration always conflicts with the unity of Turkey. And what's more, I just can not accept being assimilated dogs for the good of my wallet. They did not even consult the society whether we wanted EU or not. It all seems as if Turkish nation is dying for that EU thing.
Same here... Same view on much of Europe.

Navaros is to cool to be associated with nutters. ~:smoking:Quote:

He's the most fundamentalist Christian I know, at least. But yes, he isn't the type to go hysterical over things like that.Quote:

But since it's an rpg AND contains magic (the devil's tricks !!!) it's by definition evil to some people, it seems... :help:
The latin word is "diabolus", derived from the greek "diabolos", from the verb "diaballo" (διαβάλλω - accuse, deceive, blame, among other meanings), something which constitutes a direct translation from the hebrew word "satan", meaning "he who deceives/accuses". At least in ancient Greek, a "διάβολος" would be someone who 'd make false statements in court or simply a sycophant.
Its just political parties and groups trying to out-Islam each other to flaunt their Muslim credentials.
Cover? what are they going to do? right on it? "oh yeah that says 'this is a dungeon'"Quote:
"Either we will scrape it away or cover it somehow," the paper quoted museum director Yasar Yildiz as saying. (AP)
The story is a bit different than the website reports.
Some people claimed that the script is fake and therefore must be erased. According to that claim, the script was written in 1993 under the orders of the former museum director. The director denied that. The culture ministry started an investigation about the issue. The minister said a few days ago that the script won't be erased even if it proves to be fake.
The modern word for this is of course Politician.Quote:

Sorry and thanks L'Impresario. :bow:
No problem heh
Actually it wasn't so hard to discern this, because, amongst other reasons, the European Union exists only since 1992 and the European Community since 1957.
But anyway, it's a fact that Atatürk was oriented towards the West and Europe .

Sorry for coming in late. Haven't read the thread or heard about the news myself but per the quote in post #2 by Redleg, all I can say is that the culture minister is a fat, idiot bull....er and one of the least suitable for the job. (I know a little about him -in person- from his former acquaintance with my father.)
