https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_arrested_journalists_in_Turkey Of course there are going to be other charges. I once got charged for a concealed weapon when I was drunk walking home from the bar after work because I had my handy cutter still on me. It is what police do when looking for a reason

Oh. I know!!!!! Prove you can have total world domination without executing millions by opening up a shoe store?

And the reason to incarcerate news reporters that disagree with his politics without trail or in some cases even charges. How do you justify that? All in the name of "safety "? I had no doubt you would justify his actions and I am not looking to ban you. I think you have started some great conversations. I think you are just being petty by your ever increasing ignore list and daring people to leave this sight.

Is president Erdogan using the failed military take over as an excuse to increase his powers and prosecute his enemies?

REALLY??????????? People argue for your right to speak your batshit crazy statements and now you are asking people to leave the forums. You are a perfect example of the Turkey government. Demanding everybody agree with you and ignore or punish those that don't.

Yes. How dare pilots call off an air strike when they can't locate the position. Terrorists love setting base near schools and hospitals. If Western planes did miss and bombed an orphanage your next post would be calling them blood thirsty.

I am not poking fun at the attack. Those poor people did not deserve to be butchered by cowards that feel the need to kill unarmed people because they lack the guts to fight a military. I truly hope that the persons responsible end up in a Turkish prison like the ones that became famous in movies. I was only pointing out that other posts from certain individuals were making light of the Germans response to the attack during the Christmas season.

Perhaps the Turkey security force could ask the Germans for advice.

It maybe on that path but I think it will take longer than 6 months. The Turkey government is squeezing any opposition and will push all the enemies of Erdogan's together. He is a weak sensitive man who now is trying to make ties with Putin for strength. Turkey needs the EU and the US but he seems to be pushing away to build his police state.

You are sharing "secret information " with nothing to back it up. Why should we believe it. You place anybody that disagrees with you on your ignore list and in another topic the same people you ignore are also defending you. So share away and I can discuss how despite all the evidence I can prove the earth is flat and how it is all just a plot so people can sell globes

Today is the day!!! Mark it down that January 1 2017 was the beginning of the great Cap and Trade tax scheme of Ontario. A completely secret tax that will cost the people of this province even more money and really do nothing for the environment. But at least we can all feel better about it.

Will erdogen plan on declaring war on stray cats now?

That is the point. People have the right to agree with the terrorists. It is not the government that punishes them but the people that disagree quit listening to them or quit buying Their books or watching their shows.

Seems to not be working. Guess we will have to read what happened in The Guardian.

I think it is more of a choice to ignore the censorship that is going on. I don't blame her much. Look at a good number of Americans that have no clue what is going on outside their borders or around the world.

So in six months we have gone from this is our world to share to "OBEY". That was quick. It also proves the point that power corrupts.

http://www.globalfirepower.com/countries-comparison-detail.asp?form=form&country1=turkey&country2=united-states-of-america&Submit=COMPARE Found this site pretty interesting. I know it is just a bunch of numbers but I do not think Turkey is going to be loading up its troop transports for the invasion of the new world anytime soon

Turkey invading the US. That should be a pretty quick war. I guess if you want to lose your air force,navy,military bases,power plants,bridges and factories. Yes that is the best way to go about it.

Don't worry. The rest of NATO will make sure you don't have to worry about being invaded.

It is just a man who is lacking self-confidence Saber rattling trying to get a better deal with the EU. The North Korea technique of threatening for dollars.

But Wynne has declared war on all classes. She has forced people to choose between food or hydro. She is declared war on doctors. Sneaky taxes. I didn't hate the Harris years because I am one of those people that want to stand on his own two feet. I work for a living and pay my own way. Wynne has taken a page out of Stalins book and wants all people to need the government to survive. It was the federal liberals that cut more out of health care during the Harris years than anybody

And the left wingers are low balling the cost of cap and trade in Ontario. If it is such the right thing to do than why hide the cost in delivery Charges?

But who gets to decide what is "fake news"?

That is my fear. Who watches the watchers? What about international boundaries? What if Russia or China decides what the Toronto Star is saying should be considered fake news? Will we imprison the entire staff at The Onion or the Weekly World News? Who will decide who should be prosecuted? Why would we not prosecute any opposition to the government when the government could misrepresent their case and therefore spin it as fake news. We need free speech more than we need more regulations on free speech.

It would seem the President Of Turkey is a sensitive soul https://www.yahoo.com/news/cafeteria-manager-jailed-insulting-turkeys-erdogan-lawyer-says-134511555.html Imagine how full the prison systems in the west would be if we prosecuted all those that insult our leaders
