Max is my hero. i love him. i wish there were more people like him. he always sticks up for the underdog, no matter who the underdog is.

You'll will notice if you watch Max walk that he has a balance issue and the reason for this is that his balls are so large it makes it hard for him to stand upright.

@panafilmxxx Becuase Turkey isn't one person. Of course there are Turks that would agree. It would be political suicide for those who say it (For those with seats of power). It's a hypocrisy, I agree, but sometimes you got to cut your losses and take what you can get.

The fight for human rights and social justice has been hijacked. When the world should be crying out against malnutrition, disease, conflict and repressive regimes that violate the most basic human rights, many who call themselves humanitarian remain silent. Instead, they align themselves with the very regimes that cause so much misery.

How can it be that Turkey finds support among human rights advocates, when it denies the Armenian Genocide, oppresses its Kurdish population and occupies Northern Cyprus?

How can we allow Saudi Arabia to sit on the United Nations Human Rights Council when it is one of the greatest abusers of Human Rights? How can a true humanitarian defend the huge sums that go to the Palestinian Authority, frittered away on payments to terrorists, casinos and corruption?

It should be spent on educating their children for peace, infrastructure and projects for peaceful co-existence. How can it be that Syria and Lebanon have friends in the human rights community, when they abuse their Palestinian brothers, keeping them in camps for over 60 years? They should be granted citizenship and be treated like human beings, rather than pawns in a battle. It is time for the world to regain the moral initiative.
