Midnight Express truth revealed by alinur. Part 2

its an Oliver Stone movie....what else did you expect rather than pure propaganda and sensationalism.......

Turkey needs some "nation building" from the good old U. S . of A :)

I watched Midnight Express 30 years ago. I watched others like it (Return to Paradise, Brokedown Palace). If anything, it taught me to be careful when traveling to foreign nations. Call me paranoid but when I got a cold in London, I made a point of throwing away the over the counter Vick's Nyquil stuff before I left England. It sounds silly but I don't press my luck on being arrested for trumped up drug charges in a foreign country. Your US Constitutional rights don't extend overseas.

I saw a motorist in istanbul stopped by two police officers and beaten with clubs over his head for no apparent reason. Any mention of the founding father attaturk with negativity can result in jail for anyone. I started to take a picutre of a governent building unknowingly and a military soldier came out with his machine gun and demanded me to stop. The people of turkey are the nicest I ever met.
The irony is the military, police, and government are what is still barbaric and need correcting

8 years ago I spent 17 days in turkey. I am american and when i flew from berlin to istanbul I could not help but think of mid express when i got off the plane. I want to say the turkish people are the nicest most hospitable group of people I ever met. When U go into shops they give u tea and chestnut. If you are a guest in there house they give you there bed and they sleep on the couch. The irony is that It appears the government, military and police are what is barbaric and wrong with turk

Turkish prisons are just how prisons in germany or US are.

Even better because at least you don'T get any fascist guards kicking you around.

As you see in the interview, what billy hayes experienced is way too different than movie.

Movie was directed in a falsified way to be used as a political weapon toward Turkish.

I think one should visit Turkey and meet some Turkish before doing a certain statement on Turks.

No nation is totally good or bad. Don't blindly believe in movie

I know Hayes got laid after this interview, look at that chick... see was impressed

Azmhyr, Listen, If I stop smoking weed, I am going to track down George Bush and strangle him to death, very slowly, whilst telling him what i think off him....

So, do you think I should stop smoking weed ?

yes, you should. I don't think you're going to kill anyone.

Oil and commodity, consumption, these are just today's needs.
No man has abandoned his family for using oil for his car, or buying stuff for his house. But well, drugs, have a weird way of influencing people. They tend to make you a more loner type of person, that only needs his/her drug to be happy.
You are just escaping reality. And once you do, you'd want to do it again and again. And if it's legal for you, it's legal for the father of 3 children. Do you think it's ok?
