Besiktas vs. Dinamo Kiev tonight. Whoever wants to see the best sports supporters in the world and a few old stars including Guti and Schevshenko (sp?) should watch it.

After walking around with a Zach Galifianakis beard throughout my teenage years and early twenties I now usually rock a stache/goatee combo or a more compact full beard. Having a beard definitely has nothing to do with sexuality but in a way it is a protest against the blond, blue eyed...

Huh? I wasn't trying to trick you. I was just trying to have a decent convo with a few beers in me. I don't know much about Black Sabbath. Crappy music if you ask me... "Classical Armenian Killing Anthems"? What does that even mean? How do you relate a 1200 year old musical tradition which...

Classical Turkish music is monophonic. :mrgreen:

Niyazi Sayin (one of the few still-alive masters of classical Turkish music) defines music as "the spiritual relationship between at least two consecutive notes."

I assume that music has always been around as part of religious rituals. From there it developed into a craftsmanship/art and became sort of a tradition, say, a habit. Why do we like it? I guess for the same reason why we like other arts; because it is a creative outlet. And there's more to...

Are you sure your grandparents have a holiday house in Galata? It's not really a holiday spot and also you must be a millionaire to afford a house there... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galata

We're 5th in the league. Qualified to the elimination round in the UEFA cup. Gonna play the first leg against Dinamo Kiev in a week. It should be noted that 3/4 of the team was injured during the first half of the season. Don't know how well you know the players but Rustu, Sivok, Ferrari...

I support Besiktas JK, Istanbul. We have the best supporters in the world. And with our latest signings... all your base are belong to us. :mrgreen:

I really would like to see an RPG set in the Ottoman Empire. The game world could be diverse and colorful as hell.

I should think so. However when you think about it we're doing just fine for a nation which has gazillions of minorities and which went through two military coups in the past 50 years. I guess this is the most sensible statement so far in this thread. Sometimes judging cultures from a...

Zagooooo! He's still Palmeiras' coach I hope. He was my favorite defender when he played for Besiktas -the team I support-. Too bad that Turkey couldn't qualify. The tournament won't be complete without the come back kings. On the other hand our failiure to qualify for the cup resulted in the...

I really think you should stop making these categorizations Oerjeke. Such broad generalizations are foolish. Each work within a certain discipline should be judged for its own artistic merit. Moreover, how do we draw the line between entertainment and art? It is not as black and white as you...

Ja, vriend. Ik vind het kanker errug! I don't sound Turkish right? :P I've been living here since 6 years now. I just hope that I get my Dutch passport before Wilders gains enough power to kick me out. Which city are you from BN? It's hard to define ethnic minorities though. The...
