Quote:Hah. Eagerness? The christians had the best time of their miserable history within the empire. They were not even recruited into the army and were judged by their own respective laws and customs. They have piled up large amounts of cash, while the Turks were required to support the empire with their lives and belongings, whereas the non-turks were sometimes not even required to pay taxes or give soldiers, even if they were muslim(the case for kurds and arabs).You're right. Conquered peoples are totally better off under the tender loving watch of their conquerors. So maybe you should stop complaining about the Arabs? You Turks were obviously better off when they were in charge. Look at you now, the "ass of the middle east".
And now, look at them. They southern slavs and albanians have long murdered eachother, whereas the arabs are fragmented, struck with major internal strifes and war, with their natural resources siphoned by the nations of the west.
Yet, I have no sympathy, nor apathy towards them. They have decided to follow their own paths, and they are reaping what they have sown.
Quote:Oh, really, what a luck! I really don't care if you don't want to live someone else on this rock. America has been humiliated so many times, I don't even remember if they won a war in any other way without actually dropping an a-bomb anywhere.Whats up, warrior cultures are awesome until they use nuclear weapons, then it's somehow less than palatable?
So go ahead, make my day.
Quote:By the way, I have no intention of actually wiping out anyone. Unless anyone strikes me, I would not strike back. This is the creed of anyone who adheres to our philosophy "eline, beline, diline hakim ol"Sounds like some pansy pacifist shit. I don't think you'd mesh well in a warrior culture.
(watch your hand, waist, and tongue).
Quote:Besides, you're not even an ethnicity. I don't know how any of you can claim to be "nationalistic" or whatever you want to call it.Because nationality and ethnicity are decidedly different things.
