Turkey is an unfolding study of how to squander it all....

I'll never understand why people kill over religion. I can understand, even if as ill motivated as religious extremism, shedding blood for natural resources, civil liberties, etc., yet I'll never understand doing so for religion. The f**k height of self-righteousness.

Sigmund Freud defined four parts of a psyche; the id, the ego, the superego and the stratego. The Stratego being the highest form of morality and scientific thinking.

At this stage I think the reality is that human beings need an enemy to give them purpose. And when they want to start killing that enemy, religion provides them the moral cover. Well, not just for killing them but hating them as well.

now...the disturbing thing is that it may be spreading to Turkey. Turks used to be exempt because they were alpha as f**k and living in a country full of Turkish women. WTF is happening there?
