[QUOTE=mchapra;51262596]I didn't mean it that way at all. I meant if someone's been pushed into a belief at a young age, it is harder to accept evidence against it when they're older.[/QUOTE] Sure, but that doesn't mean they can't though. The Turks have access to the internet, they can travel to any other country, talk to anyone. At some point they probably have to make the choice between keep believing the lies and be patriotic about it, or defy the government and most of their relatives probably.

Doesn't really justify it and it's by no means impossible but it's not like you get on the internet one day and go "well shit, guess I've been wrong my whole life".

Even if you don't believe the government, you may not wanna lose friends over it since the whole argument seems pretty one-sided.

[QUOTE=Loadingue;51262593]Come on guys, stop comparing the Turks to a bunch of children. That's disrespectful and you should know better than that. They're grown ups and the choice is up to them.[/QUOTE] what a fucking SPIN, my dude it's very difficult to change your beliefs when your beliefs have been taught to you as truth since you were a little baby. there's also less of a chance of someone believing whatever an outsider says when your leader tells you outsiders are out to destroy your way of life. who are you going to believe? let's not forget how easy it is to censor any digital information coming into the country.

But you can't just dismiss everything wrong with the patriotic Turkish mentality because people were indoctrinated. A lot of people in Turkey haven't given in, and I hope the number of them will grow over the next years.

[QUOTE=mchapra;51261874]dont blame people who are victims of a propaganda machine[/QUOTE] Honestly, this. People genuinely underestimate the power a country can have over it's people by feeding them only what they want to. When people live inside a country doing this, of course the majority of the population is going to believe what they're told is the truth; it's all they know. It's like playing a really weird, fucked up game of Sims except instead of removing the door from the bathroom you remove the truth from the media.

[QUOTE=Piciul;51261762]Turks are some of the most blindly proud people I've ever met[/QUOTE] It's not the Turks' fault... It's the Turkish government's. [editline]26th October 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Trebgarta;51262055]They didnt choose and they dont care enough to read other sources. Whyd they care, its been 100 years.[/QUOTE] Because the Armenian Genocide was the first genocide of the 20th century.

[QUOTE=Steam-Pixie;51263482]Because the Armenian Genocide was the first genocide of the 20th century.[/QUOTE] [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herero_and_Namaqua_genocide]The Germans got there first.[/url] It's also important to consider that the Armenian genocide was concurrent with the Pontic Greek and Assyrian genocides, also perpetuated in Turkey. Though I do think that the idea that history has an expiration date is absurd.

[QUOTE=Trebgarta;51261497]Metacritic is 40~ too. Critics seem to find it genuinely shit.[/QUOTE] I read quite a few reviews on imdb and the reviews that appear to be genuine also seem to give favourable reviews. The hive-mind denial is so strong with this one.

I loved Hotel Rwanda, this movie can't be as bad as 'critics' are painting it out to be. Judging by the trailer it looks well made.

Didn't serj tankian do the soundtrack for this movie
