why are you turks not more humble?

How stifling an environment is it for a non-believer like you where you live on a scale from 0-5, 0 representing a total lack of hostility toward non-belief, and 5 meaning you fear for your life if you were to speak about non-belief.

>>850659
Well, turks consider themselves as a warrior race, and effects of the Ottoman Empire (which was huge you know) still carry on.

armenian genocide ?????????

who fucking cares

>>850663
it really depends on where you live. If you live in western part of the country, it goes down around between 0.5 - 2. The more you go towards east, it scales towards 5.

But i'd say its around 2.5 - 3 generally.

what happened to the fez?

işin gücün yok mu la yarın yat uyu

>>850684
It disappeared with Ataturk's reform popularly known as "Hat Reform". It was a reform about throwing away old clothes from Ottoman Empire and catching up with western world. Fez is now only sold to tourists in touristic places.

Shhh bro don't say that or they'll stone you to death.

>>850696
işim gücüm olsa burda ne işim var be muhtar

>>850699
you didn't have to do that :(

>>850681
That's really interesting. I'm American, and I would guestimate most areas of the US would probably vary between 0-3. I'm sure there are some people in my country crazy enough to try to fight or kill unbelievers, though. But generally, most people don't think about religion very much.

>>850646
ozfag here: we're still butthurt over gallipoli. how do you gize discuss WW1 in turkey?

what do you think of kurdistan?

was your pops a gastarbeiter in germany in the 1970s?

>>850671
troll

did you watch the movie about turkish secret agents going to iraq (had garey busey as organ harvesting jew)? did you enjoy it?

>>850715
i know, but reforms at these days were really radical to prevent any possible setbacks. I mean almost all bonds with the past cut down.

>>850716

Well, freedom of speech is the probably biggest problem here.To be honest, in most cases i dont say my religious views openly. Even though they wont "stone you to death", you'll face some kinds of discrimination in society.

>>850728
Nope, i'm not into movies, especially Turkish ones.

>>850721
WW1 is remembered with our victories in Gallipoli, although we were defeated general. Also a common conclusion is "we surrendered because Germany lost the war". Believe it or not, this is whats written in our history books in schools. We dont talk about or defeats much.

I really dont think Kurds want to form a country under the name of Kurdistan near Turkey, its pretty damn pointless. They don't have enough military power, and that region sucks economically.

no, my uncle was.

Bumping with the pic of the bridge between asia and europe.

>>850832
Saw that one coming

is this you?

>Atheist
>Middle east
Yeah right

>>850841
lol, %90 of population look this ugly, cant deny.

>>850859
what do you look like.

well, guess no one is interested.

do lots of turks like joy division?

is there still gay sex in bath houses?

>>850870
kinda like the guy on the left

>>850884
some, but not much. i have a few friends who like, but havent met any other.

not sure about that, never been in a turkish bath. but a lot of homophoby is going on here, so its not likely.

>>850646
Atheist?

Why don't you believe in God?

>>850904
because he's not a moron like the gullible masses

>>850904
Actually i'm not a die hard atheist, have a tendency towards agnosticism. But i deny religions, none of them make sense. They are made to keep people under control and cause nothing but conflicts.

There is a probability of a god, but if there was one, he wouldnt be such unfair.

>>850646
the west of turkey is normal, happy, rich country but the east is shit poor, right?

>>850940
Lets say western part is generally better than east, but there are some poor regions as well.

But yeah, your statement is not wrong anyway.

>>850646
why did you trojanfags kill achilles?

do you hate Greece? Were you happy seeing Greek economy failing?

>>850668
>ottoman empire
>huge

>>850930
I think atheists are the ignorant ones who deny God for petty reasons.

>>850936
You seem like a cool guy. There are a lot of people in America and other rich countries that are atheists and despise people who believe in God. The guy I quoted above is probably a racist along with his atheist leanings. That's unfortunently what some atheists are like, and not cool like you. Good luck, and you will need it in a Muslim nation like Turkey. I am a Coptic Catholic and I get a good amount of close calls.

>>850969

prove both of your statements.

inb4 OP gets stoned to death by rioting religious fanatics

what do you think about this picture?

also do you have a lot of smoking crabs in turkey?

opp what are the chances of turkey becoming a religius shithole like the rest of the mulsim world?

>>850960
We dont hate Greece except some nationalist dumbfucks, but they happen to exist in every country. Contrary to general belief, we dont see Greeks as enemies. Also personally I didnt enjoy seeing Greek economy failing, nations dont have to be responsible for the actions of some retarded politicians. Also our economy was always a failure anyway, we can understand how you feel.

I'm talking from the view of an average intellectual individual.

>>850980
>turkey
>intolerant

>>850953
TROY STRONG!

>>851000

you're a bro, neighbour, we need more people like you in both countries

>>850998
Its nothing impossible. The ruling party at the moment is known for their religious conservative views and took %47 of the votes in the latest elections.

Secularism is survived by the efforts of army up to this day, not impossible to fail some day.

>>850969

nice to see some people are still think reasonable.

>>850997
I agree with that picture, its why Ottoman Empire fell.

>>851018
Yeah, both nations should be free of their prejudices very first.

>>850646
1-what do you gize think of the mess you left in the balkans?
2-what % also knows arabic?
3-what's the one thing you wish everyone knew about turkiye

What do you think about the current Turkish Government?

And what do you think about the Turkish military as the guardian of Turkish Secularism?

why does you country export shit tier TV like Binbir Gece?

what would you say is the greatest cultural export of Turkey?

>>851037
1) Well, what can i say. As you said, its a complete mess, i feel sorry for these people left there. They arent accepted both in Turkey and their homelands. They are considered as outsiders in both places, i think they have some serious identity crisis.

2) People who live in some southern-southeastern parts know a bit, but despite to common belief, Turks are not in very good terms with Arabs.

3) Despite the prejudices and common belief, we show great hospitality to strangers.

>>851039
It's the worst government ever came in power. Shitty conservative religious retards despite they label themselves as "democrats" and abuse religious nature of Turkish people.

Army's motto is "Protector and Guardian of Turkish Republic and Ataturk's reforms". It's the biggest and maybe the only power to protect the republic against Islamic threats.

>>851047
If I only knew. All TV shit is goddamn same and unoriginal.

Well, probably some food or Turkish Bath? Not sure about that since I dont care about our culture and traditions.

for the first time i've seen a thread without trolls, thanks everyone.

OP, how do you view the following stuff:

1. Homosexuality.
2. Insulting Turkishness penal code. What's the point for it?
3. Why can't CHP get it's shit together? Why the people still prefer Erdogan?

>>851212
1) It's fine with me, homophobia is pointless.
2) Another pointless thing. We need freedom of speech, not oppression. It's related with strong nationalism in this country, but i cant see any reason a person should get penalized for saying his views / opinions.

3) People tried CHP before, but nothing different and good came out of it. Erdogan was something new, and he used power of religion very well.

Also Turkish people are ignorant and conservative dumbfucks, thats another reason.

is there such thing as a hot turkish girl?

>>851370
yeah, but not much.

IAN CURTIS?!!

Why are you HANGING around in Turkey?

>>851422
blame reincarnation dude
