12. Erdogan
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (06.03.13)
The Kamalist rabble that is rising up against Mr. Erdogan is no doubt inspired by vicious imperialist and Zionist propaganda.

Social media is exactly what the name implies - it allows people to connect & communicate. Only a dictator would fear this.

Harry Wright ,   UK   (06.03.13)
for his crudeness, ignorance, heavy-handedness, oppression and tyranny. This is turning out to be more interesting that his stupid flotilla.
21. Whoever has sex must be a lowly degenerate.
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (06.03.13)
Is that why no one can kiss in public as well? They might find a girlfriend...future wife...basic human freedoms that any animal has a right to...but religious cult leaders try to quash in the name of their fairy tale set of rules... from a religious sect that many don't follow or believe in anymore. Erdogan is taking away basic freedoms and rights. Everyone who has a bottle of beer is not an alcoholic. This a is a slogan being spouted to cover the real reason he wants alcohol eliminated. His religious buddies want their cult forced down EVERYONES throats. People are noticing and saying enough is enough. None of us grown ups...needs Erdogan or some Mullah as our Daddy.

David Israel ,   New York, USA   (06.03.13)
Sometimes dictators also come to power by elections. Remember Germany before WW II? Once they have full control of the police and armed forces then it may take a lot more to remove them such ads outside intervention like the Taleban in Afghanistan
