Malaysia: media urged not to sensationalise sex and crime reports
Sometimes, we can regret not to have a Prime Minister like Abdullah Badawi (I joke). According to The Straits Times, "the Malaysian Prime Minister is sad that competition has prompted the local media to sensationalise some sex or crime stories. He said that this could raise false public alarm and give other countries a wrong and distorted impression of Malaysia. Commercial considerations must not kill the noble values media practitioners must practise, he told his audience at the launching of KOSMO!, a tabloid published by the Utusan Group... The Malaysian PM stressed that if independence of the media was used irresponsibly, this would lead to destruction of society and eventually the nation."

"Dastardly Plot"
These words only ring insolence in the face of the Armenian populace. Armenians, a people ravished by an oriental migration of the Turkic tribes onto the once-thriving Anatolian peninsula. To state that Turkey has been rooted in hospitality and understanding is a complete disgrace to the millions of Armenians, Galatians, Cilicians, Chypriots, and Greeks that have been insulted by the mongoloid buffoonery and brutality administered by the Turks.
You praise Kemal Ataturk as the benevolent founder of the "modern day" Turkey, but he promoted the vadalistic backward beliefs that inundate Turkey today. The esastern Turkic tribes will only find peace if they retreat to their historical homelands in modern-day Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan.
To revel in the beauty of Turkish culture is analogous to staring in awe at a hungry mouth, eating and corroding all culture the Anatolian Peninsula once had. It was the turks who used the Parthenon as target practice for their rifles. It was the Turks who capsized the first Christian churches ever built magnificently by the Armenians.
To claim understanding and hospitality is a crime on equal or greater level than the Armenian genocide of 1915 - if it weren't for this period of time in the spring of 1915, the word "Genocide" itself would not likely have been invented by Lemkin himself! There would have also been a less likely chance that the holocaust would be committed against the Jews.
Now to take the Greeks and the Armenians who have spent millenia and millenia on building their culture and coming to their land to rape and claim - this is on of the greatest appalling trials of mankind. It astonished me how a few mongoloid tribes can put such a scar on humanity.
After the assassination of Hrant Dink, it is so surprising and shocking to read, “"the turks who used the Parthenon as target practice for their rifles.”
Can you possibly explain us what the Greeks were looking for in Turkey in 1920's? Didn't they target the Turks?
Unfortunately, Mr. Dink, an Armenian Turk, was killed due to exceeding nationalism, what we may call even as ‘chauvinism’.
Can you build the future on ‘more nationalism(s)’?
Can you build your life on excluding the others?
Can you find a better way of life, by underlining the hostilities in the past and ignoring the ‘common sense’?
If your answer to one of the questions above is ‘yes’, then we will lose more innocent people like Mr. Dink.
I deeply feel the pain of the loss of an innocent life. And I personally believe that the only way that will lead us out of this cataclysm is to think through the idea of being a human, so pls pls give a break to blowing the nationalism balloon!!! What you are doing makes the it a deadlock, but nothing anymore. The Turks, Armenians or Europeans; every and each of them should well understand that.
