Dumb Move Mr. Prime Minister

Today, PM Erdoğan started his fight to irradicate Twitter. Last year, Twitter fueled the Gezi Park Riots and was the only way people knew what was really going on. The Turkish Government has full control over the Media and the protest were completely blocked out. Now, Twitter has been ban from Turkey. It is another step back for such an amazing Country.

I usually keep politics to myself. But the current administration is slowly whittling away the progress it has made. Besides driving, lack of common courtesy and the odd horrible person, Turks are very kind, loving people. They love their country and are very proud. So when you see thousand of people protesting, you know something isn't right. The militant action against a peaceful park sit in was shocking. And just last week, a poor kid that was intentional shot in the head BY Polis with a tear gas canister died. He lived in a coma for over 250 days. And a government official called the massive amount of people that attended his funeral necrophiliacs??? Really? I am pretty sure in the US, that guy would have been thrown out or shot.

It will be interesting to see how elections turn out at the end of the month. If the current administration gets re-elected, I am happy we are leaving. How can you choose people that have attacked you for having an opinion, take away some freedom of speech and is completely corrupt. After all the leaked phone calls, nothing has been done. Even when something was done, the PM fired or reassigned those involves. The US wanted to impeach Clinton for lying about getting a BJ in the Oval Office! How can you re-elect him??? I would be yelling to get him out NOW!

Ok that is enough. I will probably get deported now. :) I just hope the next few weeks don't lead to chaos.
