I can't hold myself back from posting this

Spoiler: don't click if you got a weak stomach, I'm serious (click to show/hide)

Ouch. What caused that?

[Leafsnail]

On a side note, the AKP must have a really good PR department. Because well, it's hard to find negative commentary of it's actions (at least, those predating the riots).

That's probably related to all those journalists they had arrested.

And that's why every rubber bullet and tear gas canister come with a notice saying "do not aim at face". Bloody cops.

I'm used to police brutality, but I must say the Turksih cops seems especially tughish and ill-trained. This is no way to manage a protest dumbass, you're just making more and more people hate you.

Leandra: As for AKP loosing, do you have any idea of the sentiment outside the cities, the in the traditional AKP stronghold? With the media black-out, I'd expect a lot of older rural people to have no idea what's going on and thinking the protesters are rioters that should be put down. Could be worth launching a "call your grandma" campaign.

10ebbor: The AKP does have a pretty good record economically I guess. And putting down the generals was a good thing too. More importantly, for most Western pundits Turkey is Muslim, and the AKP is just giving in to the wish of the people that were oppressed by a secularist past. Plus, Turkey is doing really good when you compare it to the Middle-East, as most people do.

And all the ones ultimately working for them in some way or another.

I salute you from across the globe, sir. Please, keep safe. We don't want to lose you. Look, if it's too much to ask then don't, but I want your opinion on a few things.
A) Do you think a revolution is possible, and would you take part in one?
B) If A is yes, would you want any foreign support to overthrow the government? Do you think this would just cause trouble?
C) What's your stance? Are there any groups or factions in this chaos or Gov and People?
D) How do you think this is going to end?
E) What do you think the fallout for the region will be? More revolutions/protesting?
I'm sorry, I just really want to know. This is an opportunity for us all to be educated by an inside source. It's so rare for things like this to happen. But anyway, I support you man. Keep your head down, don't take risks.

Leatra founded the first Bay12 Embassy out of his apartment.

Turkey is more European than Middle-Eastern. Keep that in mind when making predictions.

Leatra founded the first Bay12 Embassy out of his apartment.

So, an embassy for many, many nations?

Actually, I wonder what would happen if every B12 forum member banded together and founded their own country, and it somehow got national recognition.

It would collapse in minutes. Still, maybe we should make a thread. " What If Bay12 Made A Country?"

Doing it.

do we really need another thread dedicated to magma memes?

There aren't any yet! Because no. Not in this part of Bay 12.

Nah, this is the lower boards. It'll be a thread dedicated to facepunching memes.

That has happened already.
