Yeah but we haven't yet. So our country is still superior in that aspect.

By that logic, every American that speaks out against Bush & Co. should be jailed. Can't say I would cry for the Dixie Chicks.

Turkey slaps ban on YouTube March 8, 2007 - 1:20AM A Turkish court ordered access to YouTube's website blocked Wednesday, after a prosecutor recommended the ban because of videos allegedly insulting the founder of modern Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. Paul Doany, head of Turk Telekom, Turkey's largest telecommunications provider, said his company had immediately begun enforcing the ban. "We are not in the position of saying that what YouTube did was an insult, that it was right or wrong," Doany told the state-run Anatolia news agency. "A court decision was proposed to us, and we are doing what that court decision says." Visitors to the YouTube site from Turkey were greeted with the message: "Access to this site has been blocked by a court decision!..." A message in both Turkish and English at the bottom of the page said, "Access to http://www.youtube.com site has been suspended in accordance with decision no: 2007/384 dated 06.03.2007 of Istanbul First Criminal Peace Court." Doany said Turk Telekom would allow access to the popular video sharing site again if the court decision were rescinded. Access from Turkey might be possible through other service providers, he said. During the past week, Turkish media publicized what some called a "virtual war" between Greeks and Turks on YouTube, with people from both sides posting videos to belittle and berate the other. The video prompting the ban allegedly said Ataturk and the Turkish people were homosexuals, news reports said. The CNN-Turk website featured a link allowing Turks to complain directly by e-mail to YouTube about the "insult." On its front page Wednesday, the newspaper Hurriyet said thousands of people had written to YouTube and that the Ataturk videos had been removed from the site. "YouTube got the message," the headline said. Insulting Ataturk or "Turkishness" is a crime in Turkey punishable by prison. Turkey, which hopes to join the European Union, has been roundly condemned for not doing enough to curb extreme nationalist sentiments and to protect freedom of expression.

SMH

Midnight Express anyone for writing or making nasty video things about Ataturk!

The thing is, ever since 1776, people like Z have constantly preached thier Doom and Gloom of the US. I was one of them back in the early 90s.... So full of myself cause I was in college, learning, reading, writting and thinking every one older than me was stupid and had no clue.
Then I got a job, started to see the real world other than the inside of a college classroom....
