   Is it just a coincidence that they named the country "Turkey"?
   
   I think NOT!

   Flamingo

   Should have been called Flamingo, as they shove their heads in the sand. That was funny though. Good one.

   Turkey?

   So.. If Russia should attack Turkey from the rear, do you think Greece would help?

   I have been there many times. GREAT country, but a tad backwards in the Borat way. I can understand how this would happen there. LOTS of government paperwork and lines, little understanding about thinks not Turkish...

   Re: Flamingo

   Er, did you mean "Ostrich"? Those are the birds that bury their heads in the sand.
   
   Flamingos are notable for standing on one leg. As opposed to the Turkish government, which doesn't have a leg to stand on. *ba-dum, bum*

    Well yes and no, I did mistake the Flamingo, but it turns out, neither bury their heads in the sand.....
    
    If threatened while sitting on the nest, which is simply a cavity scooped in the earth, the hen presses her long neck flat along the ground, blending with the background. Ostriches, contrary to popular belief, do not bury their heads in the sand.

    Digiturk are just safeguarding their investment, i.e. the rights to show the national football league matches exclusively to paying cable subscribers. At the same time the US is also prosecuting people for file sharing, thereby safeguarding the commercial interests of recoriding artists, software houses and the studios. So shut it you blinkered muppets.

    I would certainly sign it! Having visited Turkey as a traveller, it's a stunning country with a population of mostly liberal minded people. This wholesale censorship should not be tolerated, no matter where it is.

    Keep the laws. Laws are good (when enforced transparently), they protect us (the weak) from the rich and the great.
    There is a way to change government, called election, it's far from being perfect, but it is a start.

    Re: Turky Ban Blogger Blogs

    This country's name or its history doesn't have any relation with "Turkey" animal. This countrys local name Turkiye and International name should be Turkiye or Turkei. But centuries ago some of your smartass people started to call our country as Turkey and came that way today. Whatever you call, It's not make our country related to any animal. What you think if entire world know your country as porky or ostrich while there is no reason? Our only historic and mythic animal is grey wolf by the way.
