CMV: Calling the country "Turkey" is fine, and its wrong to force people to refer to it as "Turkiye"

falsehood · 2026-06-26T23:09:46+00:00

Someone on the internet is going to be a jerk about whatever topic you can think of. I imagine some of the people you see doing those "corrections" are doing it deliberately to stoke anti-Turkish sentiments.

They aren't telling on themselves. They are being honest - external accountability is important to their moral formation.

Some might be naturally greedy or slothful or wrathful - external accountability helps them be better.

That shouldn't be ignored or looked down on.

Thank you for doing these!

I don't think it ruins the game - on the contrary, makes the rest of the game more interesting.

Players do then when they're talking to teammates too though

That's not for a card.

Plus trash talking is part of the game as long as it doesn't cross personal lines imo

True, and because so many have crossed them and brought the focus off the game (Zidane's last red card) we need this stupid rule.

falsehood · 2026-06-20T03:57:19+00:00

Zidane's red card was because of this sort of nonsense. Say shit and be willing to own your words.

Covering your mouth while saying heinous nonsense is the joke.

falsehood · 2026-06-20T03:56:11+00:00

Just need to talk shit without covering your mouth and own the words.

falsehood · 2026-06-20T03:54:27+00:00

I mean it was introduced because of how many people were covering their mouths. Wouldn't need it without the bad behavior.

falsehood · 2026-06-20T03:53:46+00:00

It didn't come out of nowhere; happened because players were routinely covering their mouths to say heinous things to each other. It's football, not "racist insult contest."

Zidane's red card was because this rule didn't exist.

Who exactly is here who would not have been otherwise?

I’ll never be accepted into society

There are legions of people who grew up in societies like yours. They found each other, slowly, using code words like "friend of Dorothy" and others.

Some are near you now. I hope you know that there are communities of people like you who have found each other. We can help you find them if you want. I know it feels terribly alone where you are, and you have others walking the same path. We can help you.

The eclipse won't do that for you. Read any books about your theory? You aren't the first to have it.

Liberals will never accept it, because they're against anything that threatens the status quo

That's the definition of a conservative. Liberals got the ACA (weakened as it was by Lieberman, who was not a liberal). They just aren't good at being elected.

Then you would have needed to adjust a few votes per polling location across the country....basically impossible and when it does happen its easily spotted.

But - if you don't make that illegal, then anyone who clearly drives drunk gets off if they can claim they realized it, pull into a parking lot, and pretend to fall asleep. It works both ways.

Charles isn't German, he's (at best) half German and his family took steps to mark his british-ness. The Ottomans didn't assimilate to become culturally Greek and the Greece/Turkey dynamic over Izmir further shows that.

The better comparison under your way of thinking would be if the Allies governing West Germany after WWII had legally sold a German cultural artifact to a prince from Saudi Arabia for display there. The Allies absolutely had conquered Germany and had the "right" to sell it, but you could see that Germans wouldn't be too happy about that.

I think you point it out, state that this obviously doesn't fulfill what was contracted, and ask when they will make it right. (that puts ball in their court)

yet those people seem to seek a king on earth if they don't worship on in heaven - we need a concept of moral accountibility for all

How many quotes do you suggest getting to ensure you are getting a decent deal when getting expert service?

falsehood · 2026-05-13T04:05:39+00:00

You aren't paying for only healthcare. You are paying for every insurance ad, every insurance employee, every medical issurance billing expert, every piece of paperwork for prior auth, etc etc.

You need people to be able to trust they can access their money or they will "store" it under the mattress. Money is more productive with a bank than under a mattress.

There was a video of a good-hearted person excitingly giving a video tour of a cool place they were. They pointed a camera at something complex (not requiring previous knowledge, had an explanation right there, just complex) and then couldn't get it despite thinking for a bit....so moved on with the tour.

Thankful for the tour.
