i wonder how turkish people feel that now our Christian Americans have killed over 2,000,000 in the middle east. hmmmm

[kuntakinte19]

you again! arent you tired of your lies about genocide? why are you so much afraid of the name turks? the term have evolved into a completely different one. but you stayed at the same place i guess. btw, i am fed up with reading your so-called arguments. please dont react like a pavlov's dog when you see name the name turk. please!

The term Young Turk in today's culture has no reference to the historical Young Turks. You took offense without finding evidence that the Young Turk show wants to associate with history. On top of that, you judged who they would want to offend without considering their anti-authoritarian anti-racist stance. To get offended and to believe you could change the show's name, I hope you've realized how ignorant that was by now

A better question would be, "How do you offend the dead, since they are dead and can't take offense?" Your question makes absolutely no sense. In regards to the better question, I said "offend" to copy your terminology, but the proper term is "intentional disrespect"

Read carefully "lowerself"-- I said,-- how can you offend the DEAD when you don't tell the LIVING you are doing so.

These guys are offending the "historical young turks" because they have a talk show which doesn't orchestrate a genocide? Good for them.

Luckily there are only a few people in the world organizing a genocide at the moment.

And did you just ask how they can offend someone if they don't tell them they are trying to offend them? You're the one acting like you're offended over the name, although the name has nothing to do with offending anyone, except Republicans. By the way, to offend doesn't necessarily mean your target feels offended, it can also mean you disrespect them, whether they care or not

[lowerself]

Figure of speech. To take on the name and then act completely different from the people who had it before, dishonors them, whether they are alive or dead

Also it is not uncommon to find Turks who have not heard of the Armenian Genocide or of Armenians because it is the goal of the Turkish government to wipe out Armenians from the face of this Earth. The Turkish government brainwashed everybody living in Turkey into believeing the Armenian Genocide never happened and that Muslims and Jews instead got killed, and many other fantastical theories.

[DontNeedToKnow84]

I agree it seems like they know nothing of the Armenian Genocide or even of the Armenian people, because they are made to believe, that if they ever hear about the Armenian Genocide, that it is a tactic of propoganda used by the Armenian diaspora to smear the Turkish reputation globally and internationally.

YOU SAY: "The young turks are trying to offend the 'historical young turks'"?

How do you offend the dead when you don't tell the living that you are doing so?

Nonsense.
