Fucking hell the U.S. gets roasted like a motherfucker. I think god is trying to kill us or something. Last year downtown Denver hit a record 105 degrees (fahrenheit) That's global warming for ya! I am in a delivery truck for about 9 to 10 hours a day in the city so I get cooked like a bastard. (my truck has no AC) But I am sure it's even worse in Turkey and in the Middle East. Why else would those people all be so pissed off all the time? It's hot as fuck and all the women are covered up.
105 ? That's like 40 C right ? It's consistently 40 and above here in summer. Can you imagine ?
And I know you probably weren't referring to Turkey but most woman here aren't covered up, thats maybe like %15 of the population. It's just that some American people I know somehow got the impression that we're a middle eastern arabic country swarming with towelheads, that's completely absurd. In fact, turbans have been frobidden here since 1923, but due to our fucking hypocrite government they have resurfaced but that makes a small part of the people, like I said.
Hey Kaathaarian, I knew that Turks weren't Arab. And the Ottoman Empire ist Krieg! :evil:
Yeah, look, "some Americans I know" doesn't include anyone on this site, I know you're better than that. But believe me some people do think that way. Remember 24 ? 4th season 1st episode ? Turkish Islamic Terrorists bomb a train and kidnap the Secretary of defense. They speak Arabic, they're palyed by Iranian actors, they have names like Dina, Behruz, Navi which are arabic names and so on... Clearly somebody wanted to give this impression, could the producers be this ignorant ? I doubt it. And some people actually believed this bullshit and see us as an Arabic country. I know you don't, don't worry, I just had to say that.

I know a good bit about the region only because I have interest in the Crusdes, Byzantine, and Ottoman Empires. I certainly didn't find out that Turkish (or Iranian) people weren't Arabs from the American school system. :roll:
I did a lotta searching about Crusades and Byzantine (and Rome for that matter) too. They do teach us these things thoroughly but the part about culture is always overlooked. Interesting stuff.
