Belgium is a racist nation... full of racists... (2 Viewers)

I think his point is only that people prefer living in the cultural environment they grew up in.

I put forth that option to him but he blew it off and tried a counterattack.

Nope, you didn't.

That's irrelevant. You're the one who said you'd rather live in UAE than Belgium, so naturally I ask what do you know about Belgium to reject it? Is it just because you're comfy in UAE and people are generally a lot more likely to stick with what they have than move elsewhere?

Btw you don't have to come, no pressure ok

This word is important.

So my point was that you can't run away from Turkey and then look down on Belgium, because Belgium scores better in almost every aspect a nation can score.

Although there are a lot of fantastic things in Turkey, I must admit.

 

[Martin]

That fits right into what I said. I didn't say cultural explicitly, but it's implied.

 

[Seven]

I honestly don't get the relevance though. I mean, my point was about him leaving a country, not about him staying.

You and I could never live in Turkey. But i love it when i'm there for 5 days, one week, two weeks.
I can't live there tho.

What you thought and was implicit are not the same.
What you wrote was vague and easily misunderstood. I for one could not see you reference to culture.

Thanks for your critique, I'll make a note of it.

Too right you should.

Istanbul is one of the greatest places I've ever been. The only city I can think of that's even more vibrant and exotic yet still cultural is Napoli. And we all know you can't live there either .

How did you end up in Istanbul?

If you go there again some day, contact me. I go there very often. Turk will be our tourist guide.
You, me and Turk!

My mother had a patient who is Turkish and he was from Istanbul. At some point he decided he had to give us a tour.

It does look tempting. But would I have to enter mosques?

Why would you if you don't want to do it yourself?
Although i don't see how can you resist not to visit Hagia Sophia.

That has been a church at times.. that I can do

Wow I didn't have a look at this thread and there was a whole 1 page discussion about my location. I'm flattered.

If you're so interested, I'll spell it out. My parents came to Sweden in the 70s due to Sweden recieving workforce from mostly mediterranean and balkan countries. My father worked as a captain on a trading ship, so no, your stereotypical image of me/my family doing shitty jobs failed miserably Seven. I also don't understand why a location has to do anything with a person's opinion. Sure I primarly see myself as Turkish due to my heritage and I'm even there atm, but as I said, that doesnt say much. We are living in 2009 and globalism is working on full force if some people didn't notice. I also didn't run away from Turkey, I was born here. Not much of a choice huh? Don't misthink Turkey for being a refugee country, every Turk in Europe had anchestors coming due to the workforce need.

If I were a native Swede or had any other nationality, I believe my image of Belgium being a small little chocolate factory wouldn't change. I personally believe the only good thing they brought us is AtheneWins (If you know who that is)

So your parents left Turkey. Point is someone left Turkey. And they didn't go back.

So you mistreat almost every American or Australian since they obviously left their native countries? Do you have something against immigrants or what? As I stated, what does my location/ethnicity have to do with my opinion? I would also move out to another country if I got a guaranteed decent job. I never thought a little joke would get so much dragged out.

On a sidenote, this fits perfectly well into the thread looking on how Seven (you're Belgian as far as I've understood) seems to have problem with other people's ethnicities
