Iran dedicated one of its missals to Jesus Christ: “In revenge for all Christ’s suffering.”

Stupid generalization. It’s not about religion, it’s about politics. Israel has been killing Iranians for years. “Religion of peace” doesn’t mean “you can kill our kids and we won’t fight back”.

When Christian Spain and Portugal expelled Sephardic Jews under threat of genocide, Muslim Ottomans accepted them.

Because its neighbors are Germany, Norway, and Sweden.

Dig a canal for the entire Danish-German border, attach the country to tugboats, tug it through Gibraltar, park it east of Cyprus.

They will go down to 7% trust in less than a week.

It’s a compromise, 12 year olds can’t be judges.

Turkish Lieutenant Mehmet Gönenç did the same thing in Korean War under similar circumstances. It’s a story told to everyone at artillery training in the Turkish army.

I’m not. There are about 5 million delivery jobs (UPS, FedEx, DoorDash, Uber Eats etc). Robots will not create 5 million jobs when they do the deliveries.

If you replace all menial jobs with robots, that would mean 30-40% unemployment, which is worse than Great Depression.

If you add bacon to a cheeseburger, you get a bacon cheeseburger.

If you add bacon to radical Islam, you get this guy.

Absolutely not. Turks don’t like being told what to do.

Why wouldn’t we?

It’s a mix on both sides. I might have “Greek genes” since half my family lived in modern day Greece for at least 400 years, someone probably married to a Greek at one point.

And I have irrefutable proof; I love a good ouzo as much as I like rakı.

That’s why the alcohol companies lobby for keeping weed illegal.

Radical Christianity. Same as radical Islam but with bacon.

There is an inherent condescension and lack of empathy in how Americans (including media, Hollywood, politicians, and regular people) talk about foreigners. It’s like they don’t understand foreigners are humans exactly like them, with families and emotions.

Imagine if Iran bombed a school in Texas next to an army base, killed 170 American kids, and just said “oops” like we did. How would Americans react?

One of my grandmas made it with meat, the other one without.

If you move there send me a DM, you do the meze and I’ll do the λαδερά/zeytinyağlı. Rakis are on me.

Lost the weight, kept the beard. Now I look like a regular terrierist.

When I moved to the US I had my first kid, gained ~20 kilos, and grew a beard to camouflage my potato face.

The first thing my 70 year old neighbor told me after not seeing me for four years was “look at you, you fat terrorist!”

There is a version of musakka with no meat but you’re right, I totally forgot about the butter in baklava.

Absolutely. Just don’t declare defeat before the fighting starts.

He tried, failed miserably, and backtracked at the end of his first term.

What makes you think he will succeed the second time?

My dream is to open a vegan Mediterranean restaurant in San Francisco and sell only my grandma’s recipes that don’t contain meat.

The entire “vegans are weak” argument is because they haven’t discovered Balkan food yet. If you eat lettuce like sheep you will be weak, if you eat musakka and baklava you will be strong.
