We take a different approach ITT and tell others why we think our country or city is a shithole.

I live in Istanbul, Turkey. There are a shitload of things that bother me about this place, so I'll just name one.

Socially, especially in the context of gender relations, Turkey is stuck in the 19th century. I'll try to make my point going back from a tangible example:

A cool band plays in a club tonight and I want to see it, right? The problem is, I can't, because I don't have a female friend that's going with me and there is an unwritten but very common rule of not letting in single men or groups with an uneven F:M ratio (when it's in favor of M). One can't really blame the club or the bouncer though, if they didn't apply that rule, it'd be a sausage party in there at any given time and any girls would get hit on by ten men; which would drive the girls away and, since no one likes fagfests, guys too, eventually. Why the imbalance? We are all familiar with the lustful connotations of night life, so it's not something special to Turkey, but in this case, family pressure makes sure "proper" girls don't have a night life. Having sexual intercourse before marriage makes a girl a "whore" but a man a "player"; abstinence, meanwhile, makes a girl "proper" but a man a "loser" or a "faggot". Which means of course that female abstinence is the norm, as no girl wants to jeopardize her chances of marriage. What's even more disgusting though, is that if I was a western foreigner, I would be let in no questions asked. I am a second class individual in my own country, isn't this just plain awesome?

Turkey is a shithole, yes, and I hope you never enter the EU. Even countries like Poland are way ahead of a shitty country like yours. Also don't think about immigrate, we don't want you here. I'm sure you will understand why.

I live in LA (wasn't born here, leaving next year). It's decentralized, ugly, expensive, inconvenient, and arrogant. I'm trying to think of specific things, but honestly, I hate everything about this city.

Now you know how American citizens feel when our gov't gives illegal Mexicans everything (free healthcare, foodstamps, etc) and we have to pay for them.

I'm afraid Turkey is more valuable an addition to the EU than Poland in terms of economical and political interests. I don't think Turkey belong in Europe either, but it seems inevitable, unless the EU itself falls apart by the time Turkey gets admitted.

I am not planning on emigrating, but on going expat for a while. You know, taking your jobs away and all. Where do you live anyway? I'll move it to the top of my list.

Yes, I am aware, it was just my starting point to get at something bigger and deeper.

Hahaha - I live in an EU country... and I wish I could save up enough money to move to Turkey. One of the nicest countries I've ever visited.

Most of them are stuck up bitches thanks to the disparity between "supply and demand". You can't -at least as a local- tell a woman that she's very pretty and expect not to get hit with a purse, that's unless you drive at least a BMW though. Pussy is on a fucking pedestal here.

Getting a girlfriend is not the problem though, getting one with whom you could go out at night and/or have an active sexual life is.

In terms of economics, Turkey would be a far more profitable choice for entry into EU than let's say Bulgaria or Romania, however the massive population would fuck up the power balances for the vote-by-population stuff Germany dominates.

Another Turkfag here (though I actually believe there is two of us in /trv/ anyway)

Getting laid was impossible for me until college, and I think in may places it's impossible there aswell- I went to Bilkent, which is renowned for its faggy youth. Some places in Turkey have "different" set of values. There are sexually liberated women here, it's just that they are concentrated in select few circles and naturally few in number.

Actually, I believe this situation factors in to why Turkey is so fucked up. The "eastern" norm is not to have pre-marital sex, but to get married when you enter puberty or whatever, now law requires you to be 18, and modern life necessitates far more years for that... and yeah you get it. Fucking vaginas...

Dutchfag here, why our country sucks:

We have Christians in power. Y'know, the kind that forbids sales on sundays, can recite the scripture from memory and are bent on stamping us with useless morals while they themselves have of dirty adulterous sex in secret.
Now, these guys are absolutely unable to govern a country. File reports, sure, but when any Christian party wins and they have a chance to supply a prime-minister shit hits the fan, but they've got so much support from the provinces (read: the farmers) that this government is allowed to soldier on for so long.

Now, I can't blame them for actually winning the elections. Everyone is suddenly redefining themselves as devout christians because of "the muslim threat", which is basically just joung Moroccans causing shit and getting away with it.

Don't the clubs in Instanbul give incentives to get more girls. Every club I've ever been to in the US allows girls to get in free before a certain time and the entire rest of the night they are always atleast 5 dollars less than guys
