I guess I am not part of the 'Western culture' either. Haven't watched Harry Potter, won't watch Harry Potter.

I don't get what this has to do with the fact that apparently, when you are a Turk in The Netherlands, you are an online pedophile who extorts his victims.

What he meant was pre-teen culture

Oh, right! Yeah, been there, done it looooong ago. My kids skipped it. They're smart

[N_Fiddledog]

DD got owned. He should get over it.

Or failing that, get used to it.

[Brenda]

How did he get owned??
Because a Turk who lives in the Netherlands is a fucking asshole??

That's more 'my failure' than DD's, isn't it??

[N_Fiddledog]

DD got owned, and you remember what that fails like so you're here to help lick his wounds.

Go ahead, brag about how little the two of you know about Harry Potter. Apparently that's important to you. But don't tell me it's anymore relevant to the OP than calling out a guy for calling troll when he's among the worst offenders for that particular offense.

[Brenda]

Ok, explain to me how it is 'not surprising' that that guy is a Turk in The Netherlands?
I didn't really get that.

Also, I am VERY happy that you can tell me what I am supposed to feel or whatever it is you are trying to do.
Apparently, it is very important to show your knowledge about a fictive character. You are amazing, truly. You will get really far in this world if that is the knowledge you can show, and put people down who refuse to gain that knowledge.

You know, you are not becoming a bigger man by putting people down. Just saying.

[N_Fiddledog]

Sorry Brenda, I know you would like to get your nose in the middle of this, but I can't bite today. Arguing with you makes me feel too much like a bully.

I'll wait for DD to get back. He at least deserves it.

[PluggyRug]

At least the Potter movies used real actors and not some Chuck Norris wanabees.

All the movies were excellently directed. Fantasy sure....but well worth watching.

.....now back to the main theme....

He made the same comment I did. So, explain. How was what Martin said NOT trolling?

You can keep your derogatory bullshit to yourself.

If you're into that kind of fantasy

[commanderkai]

I'm so confused, but good on the RCMP.

[desertdude]

OooOOoo...I got owned and what was that in the other thread you kicked my butt. How old are you..10 ?

Now I'm starting to think those Harry Potter movies are even a bit much for your age group. You should stick to watching Bambi.

A Turk living in the Netherlands what a surprise.

This kind of covers my first reaction but not for the reasons one might think. Brenda you're probably the most qualified to answer this but any others response would be welcome. Why would a Turk in general move to the Netherlands? Is there a lot of work avalible? Some cultural attraction that would bring him there and end up keeping him there? Just curious because IMO the Netherlands are so much colder then Turky and the culture so much diffrent that anyone from the middle east would feel utterly out of place there.
