Luca the problem is I could not possibly discuss Cyprus without showing emotion and it would not be a very objective view point. I have strong emotional ties with that particular country as well as certain experiences. For me,reading the above text for example Ideological State Apparatuses or theory,it is an issue of ideas,concepts and preciesely I more…

Oh no it's not that I had a certain impression of you because of your ethnicity it is quite opposite, I thought that a person like you, which speaks so much about rights, democracy and improving the world, could not find an easy way in Turkish Cyprus which did not seem to me to be exactly a so ''open'' society. About the Greek part, just to say one more…

:) I am always ready to give a speech :))

Sorry to hear about your crisis,we all have them and then we find hope and happiness. I don't follow the EU much as I find them a very economic bloc with nothing to offer our struggle for change in society.

Yes,maybe you got a certain impression of me because of my ethnicity but I more…

Thank you very much for the nice speech. About me, I had a personal crisis in this summer but I am now recovering. Just yesterday the new treaty of the European Union entered into force. The first time I saw your blog I thought that a person like you could not find an easy way in Turkish Cyprus. However, reading this today, I think you are right wh more…

Luca great to see you back. I was wondering where you were. As you can see I continued on with promoting some important organizations,occasionally providing my own views on some areas of importance to me.

Right now I am in England continuing with my studies. It is raining all the time :) I have a completely different life and have cha more…

Thank you Alec. I have seen that blog and tried commenting on something. We had a discussion where he was quite rude ,then the next day he deleted the comments. While asking for free speech you also have to be willing to give others a chance to speak and
disagree when they want. So,with that I got the message that the blog isn't open to discu more…

I wish you all the best with you blog.

There is also an East Kurd blog on Blog,co.uk which is very interesting. Kurds do get a raw deal in Turkey with many killed.

But your question is pertinent. One coutry's gain is another's loss.

Also you are right about the Amnesty report on the exploitation of migrant wo more…

Ok. I looked at these maps. Very interesting. Question I want to ask you my friend. In the maps Kurdistan cuts through Turkey,through Iraq and goes through the borders of some important states. How do the Kurds plan to achieve this? Politically-diplomatically?or through war? How will it happen? and why are Kurds not happy with their current status? more…

Looking back at Amnesty's history,one would get the idea that its work is only limited to a certain area of human rights. However,the loss of effectivity,according to some,came when they widened their area of work and started working with the lot of it. Unfortunately,the state of human rights around the world is in such terrible state that a human more…

There was a time when Amnesty worked well and effectively to protect the rights of prisoners of conscience. While it is no doubt very interesting to monitor the failure of the South Korean government to create a perfect world in which all their laws are always obeyed at all times, I wish Amnesty would concentrate on doing well what they are good at more…

Yes,I wrote about religion awhile back(you can find my views on religion somewhere in this blog also! . Certainly all religious people do not have the same ideas. Not only on euthanasia but some of the most crucial moral issues are also the subject of much debate amongst believers. This could have something to do with the fact that the bible is a more…

I would like to make a point here.
Not every faithful religious person is opposed to legalizing euthanasia in fact many of us can see that as stated by another blogger god does not have anything to do with the time and place you die, if you pay any attention to the bible instead of flying of the handle you would know this. Euthanasia can be u more…

Yeah,Lenny Kravtiz is great! Older generation Rockers wouldn't agree though. Even my mum who was a rocker 'back in the days' says today's rock musicians are nothing comapred to what she used to listen to Jimi Hendrix,Ted Nugent,Led Zeppelin,Fleetwood Mac,Queen,Rolling Stones etc etc so she makes fun of my music :)

By the way,your phot more…

Yes,I certainly will be discussing hyperreality as it is very relavent to Philip K. Dick's novel. In fact,that quote expalins our modern and postmodern dilemma perfectly.

by GulizSahdur ^Pro

I am gathering up my thoughts on the issue. The person who will receive Euthanasia must agree to it. Although it also confuses me if a person's loved one who can no longer watch the pain of the person they love decides to take it in their own hands. We must think about it some more because some say in articles I have read that the doctor's job is t more…

Hey, it took me a very long time to read it all but it really helped me to undersand the problem more deeply. However, my main point is still there: killing is a bad thing if the killed person did not agree to it. But if the killed person asked for it, it is just a matter of respecting his free will about his life! But I have to thank you for your more…

In this article,Mahjabeen Hassan,who I am assuming is not a doctor or medical person,does not explore the medical stand point or the patients point of view at all. In fact,from reading it I understand that he did everything he could to avoid it,the language he used to descibe the cases of euthanasia were all in oppositon. Hassan took the religious more…

by logicPLEASE [Visitor]

Hassan argues that doctors, whose role is to help, should not be tasked with deciding if a patients life is worth living. However, he fails to acknowledge that doctors can determine when palliative care is exhausted, and the fact that many pro-euthanasia activists propose careful assessment by a psychologist alongside the doctor, to determine if t more…

Yeah, unfortunately, if we want to improve the worlds, we must take a look at what is not going well in it, and this may in facts be depressing.

Hmmmm...This is a controversial topic and a depressing one! I think it is called or related to the topic of Euthanasia? It seems the arguements as you have mentioned an order from the Pope,will at some point be linked to religion. Can you imagine?the Pope has the ultimate authority when it comes to moral issues in society. In this case authority ov more…
