Santa Theory

[rklenseth]

Like I said, Turkey is made up of a lot of remote locations. And when you visited those remote locations did you ask the people what religion they practiced or did you just assume they were Muslim because they lived in Turkey?

Lack of churches. Lack of crosses. Lack of data. Yes an asumption. But I think your assupmton that the Turks are hiding 41% of thier population from the rest of the world belong in the conspiriacy topic.

And I wouldn't really call Turkey an Islamic Democracy anyways. They are very secular and even though most of the government is run by Muslims doesn't make it an Islamic Democracy. That is like calling France a Catholic Democracy or Great Britian an Anglican(sp?) Democracy. Now you could call Egypt an Islamic Democracy and be right about that.

Yes. West corrected me on that. That is not what I mean.

People are saying that the democracy in Iraq will be a first for
1) a democracy in the middle east - false
2) a democracy with a muslim majority - false

Egypt isn't a democracy is it?

I think people mean Culturally wise as far as Iraq and that portion of the world. Since Turkey is considered more Western it is not really added into the equation. Plus, countries like Saudi Arabia border Iraq while they don't Turkey.

Egypt is a democracy but a democracy run by Islamic clerics. They usually tell their people who to vote for and all that crap so techinically it is a democracy while it really isn't. They do elect a president and all that but the people are told who should be elected and those that people don't like usually end up being assassinated.

[Meh]

I thought the military was still in control there and that elections are still suspended.

Hello, I'm Dr. Semantics.
Let's argue about word choice for a bit, shall we?



and in the grand scheme of things (read: cantr)
does turkey really matter?

Fun fact: there is a town in turkey called Batman.

Here's some info

[Solfius]

I think somewhere near the Netherlands there is a town called Hell. Now when people tell me to go to Hell, I know what they mean is that they want me to go on holiday

[sammigurl61190]

LOL A good way to think about it! =)

[Meh]

does turkey really matter?

Does the dark side of the moon matter?

[Solfius]

Does the dark side of the moon matter?

Any album by Pink Floyd matters, especillay Dark Side of the Moon, as it was one of their best ones.

[Meh]

Knew I could draw you out on that one.

[Solfius]

Knew I could draw you out on that one.

I couldn't let it go uncorrected

But Pink Floyd do some brilliant instrumentals in their songs, and brilliant songs generally, a lot of the dark side of the moon tracks feature on their best of album

[west]

there's no moon in cantr, therefore no dark side

similarly, there are turkeys but no Turkey.

[new.vogue.nightmare]

There could be a moon in cantr. Scientists have theorised that the moon is the reason that the earth's climate was stable enough for intelligent life to develop. So, maybe there is a moon, but it doesn't have any effect on gameplay, therefore it of course has no formal implementation. so blagh ^_^

Also, there is no Turkey, but there is a Tircqi

LMAO Well, this topic isn't going how I'd planned, but it's sure funny!!

In Siom, Santa Claus was the oldest man alive-- in his fourties, while most everyone else was in their twenties and thirties. He never spoke a word for hundreds of turns. He must have been a spy!

[sammigurl61190]

There isn't one any more....at least...none of my characters there know him.
