Turkic Brat

I passed through there only one time and was never outside of the airport. I studied the Ottoman Empire and I look at it's location and history as a powerhouse. I like their attitude in the region and their culture is magnificent. I would very much love to travel there someday. I see them as a hub and central force in the future of the world. I envy their status in the world at this moment.
It is hard to find another country with such potential. I only hope that the governments of the world see what I do and do not let that nation be taken for granted. I would far rather have them as a friend to the US than a foe. I wish the issue with the Kurds would go away. That I know has been a major difficulty for a long long time.
I would only hope that the EU recognizes them and helps them over the Kurd barrier.

Okay... You are frigging hilarious!

That is heartwarming of you, Brat! You are a real sweetheart!!:-D

As you can see, I'm still alive and kicking!;-)

You had an exam? How did it go? o.k.?

Good morning. Did you pass?

I'm doing great, Nepphew, except it's still a bit cold and rainy. Can you send me some Turkish sun?

How about you? Did your finals go well?

I'm doing great, TB. My wife and I have decided to move out of the city and are going to look at a nice little house in the country tonight.

How are things going with you? Are exams going OK?

I used to be.

evet arkadas!

Merhaba, Nasilsin Brat,

I know where you took that photo of Turkish soldiers parachuting. Is is that army base off the highway before you get into Ankara from Istanbul on O-4?

I'm guessing

My wife or partner is an attorney in the US.

Sorry to hear that. Maybe too much staring at a computer screen makes it worse?

Well then we must be of the same political beliefs. I am a 57 year old lesbian university professor retired due to heath. My field was morden revolutionary movement in the US post 1950. I taught at the Graduate level. I have been with my wife for 36 years. I live in Chicago but am from NY. How is that? I am considred by most to be a Utopian Socialist. I belong to a socialist group of about 150. It is a diverse group. There you have it.

I'm just me. Who are you? You could invite me to be your friend then we will all be friends. Should I know you or do you think you know me from elsewhere? Who are your friends? I am actually the Mother Superior of the Tartes.

Anytime man. Anytime.

Well let's see, it's raining AGAIN...and I'm up to my eyebrows in work. You?

Study more than others- kick ass- dominate...

It's what Americans used to do before the media culture of gratification and stupidity.

I would help you, you know that. I'm good with graphics.

But as you know I'm not shy about my opinions...

Meh, I had an account here, I just forgot about it.

Is that Turk forum in English?

It looks like you have been here a while... and you do not invite me?

Ah, the strong young representative of a great people with cranial bumps.

I'm fine, thanks - how are you, TB?

I saw your thread about Israel and thought I would try to clarify your point for ryefield. I remember the first time you pointed that out to me - I must admit I found it somewhat amusing how the Arabs helped make the bed they're sleeping in.

Thanks for the link. Now I have to learn Turkish.

here's the story

Your Prime Minister is on TV now talking about letting US troops withdraw from Iraq via Turkey. Don't do it - make them take the long way around! :twisted:
