Istanbul airport

Why the hell anyone in their right mind would want to be on facebook is beyond me.

Facebook is what you make it. For some it's a great and useful tool for sharing with and keeping in touch with friends and family, especially if there's distance between them, while for others it's just an ego inflating status symbol... "Look at me everyone, I've got 20,000 friends!!"

Really? Well that's encouraging, I haven't seen a single one on there yet, apart from mine, which only one of my friends has acknowledged. The point I'm making is that when it was France and Belgium it was all over Facebook like it was fashionable or 'cool', but the mentality when it's a country like Turkey is something along the lines of.... "It's only Turkey, that kind of thing happens there all the time so who cares?" What a sad society we live in!

This is your opinion and perception. I dont post flags as I see it both as a misappropriation and empty virtue signalling.

I'm more interested in how the Turks on my facebook friends are dealing with it.

And Europe want to fast track Turkey into the European Union where thousands of ISIS terrorists will be able to walk freely across Europe with their Ak-47s and explosives and cause carnage. Glad we're out.

Unreal.

I think you may actually be the biggest moron on NSC and that is amongst some extremely strong competition. Congratulations

I used to sign on/off the ship in Istanbul a lot as we always went there on our summer Med' itinerary; this year it was cancelled due to the terrorist threat.
By far the strictest security I've ever encountered at any airport. You go through the first screening before you even enter the terminal.

As an aside, in the Philippines you have to have flight details to enter the terminal. Those meeting arrivals have to wait outside, at the international terminal at least. Although this is more to do with the numbers (family members) that rock up to meet returning overseas workers than security worries. The actual security checks are pretty piss poor, which is worrying considering the rising IS influence on their extremist problems.

Yes, I see your point and I agree with you. I never post flags either and this is the first time I've ever done it and I did it to prove a point, to ask why is it apparently more tragic when it's France and Belgium that everyone feels the need to change their profile pics into flags, I'm sure Turkey would appreciate some of that support as well so why aren't they getting it? Is it acceptable when it happens in places like Turkey? I was as shocked and saddened by what happened in France and Belgium as everyone else was, but no more shocked and saddened as I am whenever this kind of thing happens anywhere else in the world. Sadly it seems like this isn't the case for an awful lot of people.

Perhaps it's because to a lot of people when it happens in Turkey/Iraq/Syria it feels like its their own doing it to them, in France and Belgium it has a feeling of a foreign element commiting it there.

Insular killings don't illicit the same reactions and emotions.

Other than the Americans who think the Ataturk Airport explosions were a hoax.

Only a selection of tin foil hatters. We have plenty of those here as well.

They thought 9/11, Paris and the Brussels airport attacks were conspiracies too on the David Icke forum.

Complete nutters.

If there is anything to what you say, its because belgium is nearer and more people like us, could be people we know.

Theres nothing wrong with that either.

 

[ofco8]

My only visit to Turkey via Istanbul Airport was just over twenty years ago. A very relaxed experience with no high security.

How things can change in shortish periods of time!!

I understand what you're saying and you're probably correct, but to me, that's the problem, "people like us", to me, there's no 'them and us', we're all human beings, and all those people killed in Turkey were normal innocent people with families and friends, just like us.

Thats ok for humanities studies but when you get down to the survival instinct it is kith and kin focused, the context here is what you've muddled up, mass slaughter with dreamy eyed utopianism. Its out of place, like lecturing the starving on fashionable diets.

It is high handed virtue signalling by someone with no skin in the game, as yet.
