Turkey

[Bram Gotink]

When in Turkey, we had a guide who said :

G.W.Bush is an idiot. All republicans are idiots. They payed the Islamitic Fundamentalistic Faction so they could win the elections. Why? Because he needs the military bases in Turkey. Officially, they are closed. But in secret, they are opened to the Americans

If the Democrats win, I'll study English.

N.B.: Göksel speaks Turkish, Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian and Japanese; but not English (yet)
N.B.: Even tho the government of Turkey is his employer, he dares speak against it. THAT IS AGAINST THE LAWS. Article 301 of the Turkish Lawbook says that anyone who says anything which offends the Turkish Government, Parliament or Atatürk, gets a prison sentence of 1-3 yrs. If he/she has written this, he/she gets 4.5 yrs of imprisonment.

Not sure who the Islamatic Fundamentalistic Factions are but nothing wrong with paying another country to use their bases. Oh and I resent the Republican comment. Poor sap is just going off of what his friends and country feed him. Like he knows what Republicans even stands for anyways.

Man, people are dumb.

The only reason that nonamericans and ignorant americans dislike republicans is because there is currently one in office that "isn't doing as well as others have."

Perhaps if the media focused on the positives instead of going crazy about one miniscule negative detail this wouldn't happen. Like the war in Iraq....troops are actually accomplishing alot over there, however the press only focuses on blunders and the death toll.

agreed as well
But you can't forget that Bush doesn't decide a lot of things himself... Another quote from the guide:

Behind every weak man in a high position stands a woman / party that controls him.

You can't say that he's wrong saying that...
