Other Side of Turkish Soccer Victories : Ignorance and Blood

Soccer Victory?!Turkey has won a legendary victory against Czech Republic in Euro 2008 bringing score to 3-2 from 0-2 in just 15 minutes. What I will tell is not the praise of this match but a tradition, actually an awful tradition which is applied by many ignorant soccer fans. I decided to write at last hearing that terrible sound (the informer of stupid death) exploding around the buildings on my street where I live (regarded as one the most modern areas in Istanbul)

Briefly, these ignorant people take their pistols, go to balconies and shoot to the sky many times to show their joy after such football victories!! Well, sometimes (as expected by clever ones) they fail on the directions and the bullets don’t go to the sky but to the other innocent people who are walking on the streets, sitting in balconies or even at homes. After every important match it is natural to hear in tvs and radios that one, two people died and several wounded by these bloody f..ked monsters. Should I say more? Maybe, they should buy a musical keyboard to produce the sound of the bullets for better ear pleasure. But, no! Unfortunately the ignorance and the musical sound of some people of this country seems to be an eternal dark cycle and we have to continue live with the reptiles.
A late addition: Actually, this tradition also takes lives in the celebrations of weddings and even in the new year nights!

Turkey Decided to Ban Internet Completely !!!

Wordpress is banned !
Access to this site has been suspended in accordance with decision no blabbalalala

This is the website you will get if you try to browse Wordpress.com and many other sites.

Well, I know that the title is rather direct and provocative, but it is almost true. I will tell why almost. Turk Telekom is the main internet service provider in Turkey and has millions of users. Everything is usual up to now, but one defect. They can ban any website according to a court’s decision. The court bans and they just apply. See something bad and ban everything completely. If you haven’t heard of yet but they had closed (and continue time to time) Youtube completely for their users before, just because of some videos. After long discussions, they could understand that it is not the correct way and opened it. Now, I see that our lovely wordpress.com is banned too. I am very angry. Why to ban millions of blogs just because of some crap (Just some court didn’t like it, they close also every porn site they see in Google Search meaninglessly, hahahahaha millions exist)? This kind of behavior just makes Turkish youth to use web proxies and they further become lamers and sometimes future hackers because of over thinking to overcome the barriers :) ) Nothing can stop our testosterone powered youth to reach porn and harmful stuff. Go folks! Hmmm.. Maybe to ban EnglishTurkey.com or better Internet completely?! Final solution. Shame for us!

Forgetting Fabric or Lancet in Abdomen During Surgery is Not a Mistake !!

Well, that’s interesting ! A woman from the city Samsun Turkey opened a case to the doctors who have forgotten gauze bandage in her abdomen while she borned her second child using caesarean method. She then had to have 2 more operations because bandage had made inflammation.

Finally, 3 professors who give expert reports to the court have decided “Forgetting bandage in abdomen is not a mistake! Because the possibility of forgetting several objects during surgery is around 1/3000. It can happen sometimes in operations”

I always adore scientific approach and decisions to the little problems! Next time to forget a big knife would be cool !

Dying in Turkish Style !

Didn't you watch Seventh Sign yet? Shame on you!

There is a legendary list very popular in Turkish blogs for years. Some say they are true, some say they are not. I personally think that some of them are really true stories because all mainstream news, tvs had given on their front pages. I remember some of them. I tried my best for correct translation. Sorry for my poor grammar beforehand. Enjoy the death!

1) One worker tried to pass through under a 600 ton press machine by crawling to light his cigaratte in front of a 2450 celcius degrees industrial oven. Place : Karabuk Iron & Steel Factory

2) A person died while he is getting hair cut on a barber salon. The reason is that the barber suddenly turned his neck to left and right thinking that it will give relaxness to the client. Place : Erzurum, Center Barber Salon (I believe it is true, because personally met such barbers who think that this will make the neck better working, dear tourists! keep yourself prepared while you are in local barbers)

3) A fly escaped to one’s stomach through mouth. He tried to kill it with Sheltox insect killer by spraying inside. Place: Istanbul / Sultanbeyli

4) One person tried to take out a stone which was escaped to his shoe and leaned towards a electric post. A passerby villager thought he was being shocked by electricity and tried to help him, then hit him by the head with his oar. Place: Rize / Ardesen / Tunca Village

5) Someone was going happily on the road. A balcony from a building drops on him!! Place : Istanbul / Dudullu

6) He was saved from a traffic accident and while he was being sent to hospital in an ambulance, ambulance took part in another traffic accident. He died this time. Actually, it is very common situation in Turkey. I don’t know about the other countries.

7) A father and his son was working in the same factory on different time tables, one in daytime, one in nighttime. While the father was coming back to home, another was going to the work in their mobylettes. They tried to greet each other by shaking hands and crashed. Both died. Place:Konya/Meram

8) 5 men in a car who were going drunken on the main auto highway called TEM, stopped the car on the right side and began dancing on the road because the song was great in Super FM channel. 3 of them died by crashing cars. Interestingly all died by different car crashes in some time. Place: Adapazari/Hendek
