OK, please know that I am not against the name "Ararat". I just wanted to clear what Commandante, the topic starter, meant to say since our non-Turkish friends did not know much about the fuss that has been going on with this subject, being sure that my Turkish brothers/sisters will surely be oblivious and stay unaware-like in almost everything! That's why I posted more info about it above.
IOfTheStorm, my friend, as you said, if you'll try to follow Dreamcell's opinion then I wonder why you posted the message above. If you do not post what you would express then it might be left to our imagination which is, of course, not healthy. I really want to know what kind of an answer you have for it. Let me explain: this month is the 90th anniversary of the "so-called" Armenian genocide. If you follow the international agenda nowadays you will be informed deeper into this crap. Then please ask to yourself 'If they do NOT demand anything from anyone then WHY is all this fertile outcries for?' Not for the land... or is it?... or for what? The invasion I was referring to is not by guns, armies, etc. but demanding for a land compensation in retribution for their self-made-up genocide. I strongly suggest you to NOT to have any ideas WITHOUT having any concerned true information. You know ideas should derive from the verities. Almost every Turk abroad faces the questions about the so-called genocide. Tell me why should we answer to all these historical lies that are not proved to be true so far? Is this in accord with the principles of international law? You do not live in Turkey therefore you do not know what has been going on around here. If someone blames you for something you have not committed what would you feel about it? Furthermore why should we, today take into consideration something that they claimed to be committed some 90 years ago-when our Republic had not been founded yet? Are the modern day Greeks responsible for what Byzantines negatively inherited-if there is any? We can not pay any compensation for anything Ottomans had (not) done!
Growing up is not realised by staying quiet rather one has to discuss and reach to the objective conclusions. The key is: just voice your opinion based on the TRUE facts.
My Turkish friends, please be sensitive to current agenda so it will be easier to gain a healthy behaviour to reply what foreigners would ask about. Just remember the lieful "Midnight Express" (Oliver Stone has recently expressed his regrets about the movie) and its deep impact on the foreigners! It is not be good to be remembered so in the eyes of the world, is it? A true metalhead esp. in Turkey can not have a luxury to say "I do not care for anyone or anything!". Even not for the ones with fascistic or the fanatic religious attitudes who insult to your long hair, the way you look or the music you are into, huh? Noone is an island alone. Know that you are shaped by the collective and an important part of it! And do not be a dittohead! Try to improve a healthy concept of true ideals in order to grow a healthy personality out.
Please do not reply me with stupid, short, simple, shallow and base posts! Revealing ones true nature of intellectualism is of utmost importance to me and it will be deeply and fully appreciated. So please return the favour.
Finally, I will be the first one to get the "Ararat" EP!
