    i think it's funny when people say "fight back / you're a coward" like yes, I'm a coward and i don't want to fight back, because I'm just a simple pianist who plays piano in restaurants. I've never even seen a gun in my entire life, u srsly expect me to go "fight" ?

      Yeah, when things are peachy, people like you like to mock and ridicule Americans who insist on owning guns, knowing how to use them, and actually being capable of defending themselves. But when shit hits the fan, all you people are capable of, is begging someone else to save you, or running away to another country.
      Do you ever stop and think, that American colonists back in 1776, did not have those options? They had no choice but to stand and FIGHT. So no, being a civilian is not an excuse for being a weak, defenseless victim.

      of course. Just look on Afghanistan and their history.
      Soviets came to Afghanistan. Mujahideen started fighting against them. Got support by the USA. Taliban separated from them. After the war the Taliban took control. The NOTHERN ALLIANCE (Mujahideen and other groups who disliked Taliban) started a cival war.) Many years later the USA/allied forces came and fight the Taliban and supported the Nothern Alliance. Probably with time some of these turned their back against the USA/NATO for sure as well. We left the place. Taliban came back to power. And now they are fighting with ISIS Afghanistan. Radical against radical cause their idolical shiet hits the fan.
      And always it will be "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". Let's wait which side the USA/NATO will support in Afghanistan. Tailban cause they are more moderate or ISIS Afghanistan cause they fight the Tailban?
      This is a complete fuckup. And yeah, SYRIA is even worth.
      THANKS AGAIN USA.

    We have to explain this to people one by one.. the biggest problem for me is when parents do this in front of their kids.. today I went to the garden with my 3 year old son, he was playing next to a Turkish girl, her mom heard us talking in Arabic so she came and talked to me
    - Are you syrian?
    - yes
    - for how long you've been here?
    - about 5 years
    - do you like Turkey?
    - yes!
    - but we the turks don't like it anymore
    - why?
    - because we're like tourists in our country
    - why are you saying that?
    - because our country is full of immigrants, syria, egypt, ozbek, afgan, ...
    - its like this every where, what do you think of America, do you like it?
    - yes! What does America has to do with this?
    - America is also a place where you can find people from all over the world, and its okay
    - but we don't like it
    - well, this is life, I can do nothing for you
    I'm sick of having to face this and worse, and hearing stories from other immigrants! After she talked to me like that, her daughter started to act aggressively with my son and she was about to hit him
    Till when we should hear this and close our ears pretending that we didn't hear anything because its not our country and we have to shut up? Common! If it was that easy or even possible, we'll leave right now!
    Leave people alone, they already have tough lives!

    • @omerulahmet9407

      As a Turk I feel humiliated of turks when I hear them talk about immigrants. I know there is cultural difference and hardships that come with it but that is not an excuse for hating. many politicans want that hate they use that hate and make their careers out of it like ümit özdağ (the fascist basically)
      We should hate the people that started this war we should hate the people that want this war we should hate the terrorists, rapists, killers, fascists. but no, media and no politicans want it.
