Turkey is more “westernized” than most Muslim countries but one should bear in mind two factors. 1- The part of Turkey you may deem “western” from the physical outlook etc. is still not very western in essence, so many women in Istanbul look very western in their physical outlook but they are very Middle Eastern in their mentality.

Our Wall Street/donor/"job creator" class does not see these things as impediments. Who we choose as partners makes this intuitively obvious to even the most casual of observers.
Again, a partial listing of who we have partnered with recently:
Saddam
Osama
al Qaida
al Nusra
ISIS
the genodical Israelis
the public square beheading journalist liquifying Saudis who actually were involved in 9/11
NeoNazis in Ukraine
AND we have a dominatrix torturess now heading up the CIA.

Hello Monty,
I disagree with that. I wish no ill will to anyone, take no pleasure in their misfortune. That does nothing for me.
I don't see why unless it generates a lot more work. And I am guessing that would be a problem. What if APP became quite popular? With the tight rules there would be constant violations. It could turn into a 24-7 job to really do a good job of moderating it. Who's gonna do that? You? Grind? If there's no active moderation the rules don't mean willy nilly. So it won't be APP. It would just be another forum with abuse. If there were just loose moderation it would be softer abuse but it would be there. Posters would push the limit of what they could get away with.
Sadly you are spot on about that. Which is why I try to speak up for the merits of decency.
Personal Ignore Policy PIP: I like civil discourse. I will give you all the respect in the world if you respect me. Mouth off to me, or express overt racism, you will be PERMANENTLY Ignore Listed. Zero tolerance. No exceptions. I'll never read a word you write, even if quoted by another, nor respond to you, nor participate in your threads. ... Ignore the shallow. Cherish the thoughtful. Long Live Civil Discourse, Mutual Respect, and Good Debate! ps: Feel free to adopt my PIP. It works well.
The thing is Poli, if all the decent leftists went to the APP side then the rabid right would have nobody to froth at the mouth about. That wouldn't take much more than is already there.
But we have to keep in mind that if it's not built upon then it will fade. I'll continue to post threads there and I'm sure bluedream will continue to post there too. At least on the thread which we can't post on!
Bringing reform and decency from Canada, one forum at a time.
