The French Piss Off the Turks...

In my opinion, no large area should ever be completely annihilated unless it can be confirmed to contain only members of the opposing army, which is never the case.

Too bad the jesus freaks' god didn't think of that when he unleashed his "flood" huh?

Howbout the Great Nebraska Sea?

[Shell B]

That's really scary-looking, Syn.

[KichigaiNeko]

Howbout the Great Nebraska Sea?

Looks like it has potential there Moros

Europeans are quite touchy on denial of genocide, in a few countries holocaust denial is illegal, as David Irving found out in Austria a few years back. I think it's crazy and I believe in freedom of speech, it's a great way to find out who should be ignored. And Turkey, like our forum Turk are best off ignored until they stop being nationalist genocide denying fools. They have a serious penis size issue.

Anyone the french piss off generally gets no sympathy from me.

As to the great Nebraska sea, that would be geological reality if you roll the calendar back 300 million years. Although the western shore of the great north American inland seaway, as it is called, is a bit further to the west and all of Colorado would be underwater.

Great for them. There isn't much to be pissed off about, since they did recognize the so-called genocide already.
The thing is, they also criminalized the denial of other genocides that they did actually recognized, so I don't think this was done in order to especially piss us off. Well, wrong foreign policies on our part have contributed to this, I got to admit.
But they are politicians....They can be bought off.

THAT is misleading. The Turks have NOT recognised what there rest of the world knows: they committed genocide against the Armenians.

That the Turks officially and individually lack the moral courage to admit the crime is their problem,not the rest of the world's.

Genocide is defined as "the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group",[1] though what constitutes enough of a "part" to qualify as genocide has been subject to much debate by legal scholars.[2] While a precise definition varies among genocide scholars, a legal definition is found in the 1948 United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG). Article 2 of this convention defines genocide as "any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life, calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; [and] forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."[3]

The Armenian Genocide[1][2]—also known as the Armenian Holocaust, the Armenian Massacres and, by Armenians, as the Great Crime[3]—was the systematic destruction of the Armenian population of the Ottoman Empire during and just after World War I.[4] It was implemented through wholesale massacres and deportations, with the deportations consisting of forced marches under conditions designed to lead to the death of the deportees. The total number of resulting Armenian deaths is generally held to have been between 1 million and 1.5 million.[5][6][7][8][9] Other ethnic groups were similarly attacked by the Ottoman Empire during this period, including Assyrians and Greeks, and some scholars consider those events to be part of the same policy of extermination.[10][11][12]

That has been discussed here numerous times before.
Not really feeling up to discussing these with you, but well, you surely do not expect us to buy into each and every lie that the west brings before us to bar us from entry into the EU. Once Turkey realizes that the EU is a stupid christian clique and a failing pile of crap, and stops trying to get into it, this lie will fade into nothingness as soon as the negotiations are finally done away with....

Let's be honest, EU may be a pile of crap, but it is still so much better than Turkey that Turkey would all but die to get in.

The reason why turkey is not getting in is precisely because the pile of crap has standards and Turkey can't meet them.

As to EU being a christian clique, do yourself a thought experiment. If non-Christian Japan were to be situated where Turkey is, do you suppose the EU would rally to keep the Japanese out?
