The Turkish Prime Minister is a Great Guy

I do not want to cause any fights. I don't want to make anyone upset. I think the Turkish PM is a great guy. He has helped this country a lot. He has brought  the İsrealis and the Middle Easterners together and then influenced them to not talk about peace and then influenced them again to talk about peace. When he is angry, he keeps his head cool. I like that in a Prime Minister. I like him so much, in fact, here is a pic of him.

 See? He loves his country. He has the nice Turkish flag behind him. and he is sitting at his desk ready to pass laws. Like the new internet law. That law is really... Well because I want to keep my blog opened, That law is great. If he does not like something he has a lot of power. He can just block it. For example You Tube. Or, Facebook. Which is not a big deal to many people but it is if you have family far away, and you want to listen to some nice music but you can not afford to buy CD's because pirating is illegal you can go to You Tube to listen to it.
   Now if you are the Turkish PM... If you dislike something, you are so cool you can get out some bad A fist and block something on YouTube, like a whole website so no one in your country can see it he is so cool, he can just block it and not one person in Turkey can watch it. That works good for porn or for perverted sites. I agree. I hate pornography and there are so man perverts out there, I wish all internet porn could be blocked forever. But, Facebook is not pornography and I have many friends that I do not get to see. I have family that with out the internet and without Facebook I would never get to see them and know what they are doing every 30 minutes at their jobs when they update their Facebook status. I would not know how Heidi Sterling messed up an account at work and was scared of getting fired. I would have missed out on my uncle's babysitting experience with three kids and how he was changing a poopy diaper and how all three kids slipped and fell on a floor covered in pee. He even was giving us updates with no picture (sad!) on FB while he was trying to clean up the poop.  I would have missed out on a lot over the last year, and come to think of it I will miss out on more if the internet law passes on August 22nd.
  I hope that this Prime Minister likes Facebook enough to allow me to keep talking to my friends and family in USA. I hope that he also does not throw me out of Turkey for writing this either!
   Maybe if I tell him how awesome he is he will not kick me out and he will not close my blog and he will not close Facebook. OK... So I watch Fox News of You Tube but I can let that one go. What about TiVibu though? Hmmmm... OK... But not Google nor Google Video... I hear that Turkey as of 22 August will be more strict than China... Do I need to pull out the tissues and cry yet? We will see.
In the meantime, I think everyone should invite Mr Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Facebook as his friend and make sure you say the nicest things about him too.
  I want to tell this Prime Minister thanks for controlling me on the internet, but how can I do that in a way that he can see how sincere and thoughtful I am? do I send him Congratulations flowers? A box of Turkish Delight? do I have him over for Tea and Cake? Maybe send him a Utah Jazz Jersey? Autographed copies for PM not pulling the plug on You Tube.
 The Snuggle Bear agrees with me and yet does not want any conflict. We want to be able to stay in Turkey. And it is a great place to live.

Just saying...

Peace Out

  1. I hope Facebook doesn't get blocked. When I lived in China, it was so aggravating to try and use social media sites. They would work for 30 sec. and then be blocked. It is just a cheap way to stay in contact with everyone.

  2. There is a rumor that after 22 August Turkey will be more strict than China with the blocked sites law. We do not know what will happen. I already cannot view a lot of sites. for fear of blocking more, I will not mention other sites but all I have to say is there are sites I look forward to on my Sunday afternoons for my day of rest. I am curious to see how this pans out and will keep you posted on this issue
