The thing is that he was a normal person when he was the mayor. Then he went to America and got lost for a week and when he returned he became the prime minister and he was no longer the same person... I think they sent a cylon version back to Turkey. I'm sure that there are many bugs as well;
For example there was one time his voice changed.

Also he sometimes says the opposite of what he told a day before.
Flin Flon
Just blame America.
Nope. And he upped his party's limits as well.
Even then he could just do aKobrag said:
He kind of did.

Bülent Arınç, vice prime minister, went to the press and had the amazing idea that women shouldn't laugh in public any more. It's "immoral", "contrary to the Turkish woman's virtue" as the German article called it.
It also isn't right that women talk on their mobile phones so much, as they only exchange cooking recipes (wtf?) and gossip anyway.
Next step:
No cars, no leaving the house alone, no talking to non-family males, eh?
You're on the highway to ****ville, Turkey.

He longs for the times when a woman would feel shamed, shy away, look down in embarrassment when a man looked at her. So he says a woman shouldn't be bold, laughing in a crowd and being a normal human being.
He also thinks women talk for hours on the phone about recipes and gossip and he says that should be talked face-to-face.
There was a sign the other day saying "Men. Do you want your future wives to be like bitten apples?" Obviously against dating and flirting. I think we've pretty much arrived to the outskirts of ****ville now.

Sir Saladin
Count
"Bitten apples"? No, I want peaches and cream.
What you want is John Butler Mr Saladin.
... What?
If this wasn't really happening, I'd consider it to be a joke.

He's obviously never met a woman then.Goker said:
Let's hope TaleWorlds release Bannerlord before Turkey's amazing leaders ban video games, and especially ones that get "exported", as immoral, violent, sadistic, and unpatriotic. And also female characters in video games, because they're contrary to women's virtues.
How are you going to get out of there, though?Goker said:

Wouldn't say so.
****ville for me in this context are states like Iran. Or the ISIS areas in Iraq. In general everywhere where religion actually rules the day-to-day interactions of folks.
Of course especially the second is a extreme example, but whatever.
I wouldn't say Turkey is or was quite in that category.

Places like Iran or ISIS territories are not really good examples, as one is an "Islamic republic," in which, by definition, religion rules supreme; and the other is an active warzone controlled by extremist terrorist. But in the context of secular democracies, Turkey is about as bad as it gets. The next step from our current state is total chaos or an actual dictatorship (in name, as well as in practice). So yes, Turkey is not the absolute worst place in the world to be in, but compared to the modern world, and taking into consideration its claims of being a secular democracy, it's ****ville alright.Wellenbrecher said:
Also, sorry for the late reply, I was planning to, but then forgot.
Turkey is voting to determine its President today. Reports of turnout being low in opposition strongholds is worrying. People have lost faith in the legitimacy of the elections after the last one was quite controversial. Of course, Erdoğan doesn't care about that.

I guess Erdoğan is the new president.Unfortunately Turkish people can't see the facts.
