The foot beating scene from Midnight Express. A movie about an American in a Turkish prison in 70s (based on a true story).

No. That would be an invasion of their privacy.

i think I may have donated money for this documentary to be made.
every year for a while I've donated to a DC based NGO (Mental Disability Rights International) to document what goes on in institutions for the disabled in various countries. The Duchess is one of their spokespeople.

This is isn't unusual. The whole "Liberals hate America" thing is about Liberals admitting things like Mai Lai and Abu Ghraib. For many people the way to deal with embarrassing facts is denial.

Before you start pointing fingers at Turkey, have you seen the kind of horrors that Romanian disabled children endured under Ceausescu? You are so quick to blame the Muslims, but you don't take the beam out of your own eye. Europeans have done some terrible things to the disabled and orphans.

Dear Turkey,
You used to be cool. You were a Muslim country, but you were secular and you were in NATO. You also got along decently well with Israel and gave us some hope that you could serve as a bridge between Islam and Zionism (likely a futile hope, but still...).
Then all of a sudden you had to go elect the religious right and get whacky. Plus for every step we take to make a deal with the Kurds, you bomb them two steps back. Now this...
Can you go back to being a military dictatorship or clone Ataturk or something?

They are still pissed that the son of the Turkish ambassador died of a heart attack after popping the hot, eldest daughter's cherry on Downton Abbey.
I think he died just the way he'd have wanted to.

On the recent plus-side, they've taken a fairly hard line with Syria.

Ceausescu was a commie, so of course he's evil.
The clothed craniums running Turkey keep asking for respect like they aren't evil, yet they do shiat like this. Today, in 2012.
Call em like they are seen, Turks are shiatbirds.

Anadolu, the state-run news agency reported that the prosecution claims the children filmed in the programme were youngsters with severe disabilities, many of whom were prone to "violent tendencies towards themselves and their surroundings".
If you treated me like that, I'd be pretty farking violent, too.

Yeah, and everybody wants to crack down on Egypt because their military is trying to prevent the same thing with the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Turkish government accused the Duchess of trying to smear the country's image
A sure sign of a shiathole country is that they make it a crime to smear their image.

This exonerates Turkey ? Are you saying that because they are Muslims we should not point out the rancid dark corners of their society ?
As for Romania, the question is whether this is still going on now that they have actually become "Europeans" by joining the EU as opposed to just being Europeans by being a country located in the European continent.

This is always sad when the lack of money and or knowledge hinders the proper care of our children.
The "Princess" needs to keep in mind that only 35-40 years ago Europe and America were still keeping children tied to their beds to keep them from wondering away, pampers only being changed once a day and the more difficult children were kept lock in a room etc.
Maybe the "Princess" could start a charity for raising money and local awareness for volunteers.

That was a sad and horrible case. That footage is haunting.
What is perhaps most shocking is that Geraldo used to be a legitimate journalist.

Can we just get rid of religion? Please? Can we just treat all the people like we want to be treated...yeah, I know that sounds a lot like the "golden rule" or golden shower or something but it also fair and balanced and easy for even religious magic book thumping, claim to know and speak to the magic sky people, fundamentalist taliban a55h0les to follow.

Of course not, don't be stupid. The point is that calling Turkey a backwards third-world evil shiathole based on behavior exactly like the USA's fairly recent behavior is misguided. Although plenty of places in the States are backwards shiatholes, of course.
