Three Turkish Voices At UCLA, November 6

Three *urkish voices summarized in three words!
That is great!




That's exactly what I told myself.

Note: I have chosen to auto censor the words "*urk" or "*urkish" because it is commonly perceived as unpleasant and offending, evokes unpleasant emotions and imagery and is pregnant with immoral and evil connotations!

You're just jealous because you missed out.

It was great.

why did they choose such a small room? i (and at least another hundred people) had to stand outside and listen through the open doors (or stand/sit on the steps)...

I was standing outside too. I don't think they anticipated that many people to show up. I don't think it was like this last time. I guess next time they will learn. But in all fairness, they did open the room next door eventually.

Twas indeed.

However, I would call a "Turkish voice" the voice of someone who was actually living in Turkey - none of them are, I don't even think they are Turkish citizens.
This whole "Turkish voice" thing is a rather racist concept anyway, it is implying that there is one near-uniform "Turkish voice",

Does Mr. Straw Man have trouble reading or is it just another attempt of dishonest distortion? It says "Three *urkish Voices." That obviously suggest plurality. Also, how "plural" is the *urkish Society?
Are you sure they are not *urkish citizens? At least, some of them were.
In what way is it racist, Mr. Straw Man?
How "Three *urkish Voices" imply uniformity? That is, at best, called intellectual dishonesty.

I would have preferred "Three Scholars with an interest in Turkish History". The ethnic origin of the three is entirely irrelevant, and it is offensive to see it mentioned in that poster.

We all have our preferences. I would have preferred that you did not constantly and dishonestly distort what is said. Also, specifying the ethnic origin of a speaker does not necessarily mean much and how is it offensive?
Yes, I preferred that you stopped distorting Mr. Straw Man.

There is a distinct difference between ninjas and samurais.
Samurais were the emperors soldiers and lived w/ a strict bushido code.
Ninjas were at first rebel groups who planned assissinations of those emperors. However the emperors saw the advantage of ninja tactics and began employing them themselves.
However I prefer to be a Samurai.

I want to be a ronin.
