The 3 I've met online have all been card carrying nationalists who seem to think their "people" are somehow better than other people. And also like a separate race. Turkish is not a race of people.You're out of your element, with no knowledge of what I've told these people over the couse of months.
Is there a lot of propaganda over there, like North Korea or something?
Replying to you means to destroy this thread, I'm not going to do it.

Of course you have a point that I don't know you. But it doesn't take months to judge you as a nationalist (not saying it's good or bad, just saying you are).
Anyway, you do seem to be proud of what I said of you, and said you wished all Turks where what I said, so why act all offended?

The funny thing is though, he's right insofar as that our most basic value, or meaning, is to propagate our DNA, just as all other living organisms do. Not in any "Pure" way (that's his ideology mixed into it), but in a positive way.
Of course, as humans we have the ability to derive MUCH more from life than this most basic Freudian concept. We can give ourselves whatever value we wish (charity, family, just enjoying life, etc), it isn't limited to our animal instincts, sex, or reproduction at all. Many, many people without children have extremely valuable and meaningful lives.
