Chill. Geez.

I've moved your thread from Gaming discussion to Politics discussion.

There is corruption in all politics.

Indeed, I just wanted to share this video about the American system, thats what I wanted to talk about, I didnt create a specific general thread about corruption. His remark about another country is uncalled for. He would NEVER have mentioned Turkey had my username not been Turkish! His comment only served as an annoyance.

I agree the first answer is clearly a provacation related to your username. I don't really see the point of the first answer except to say "it's not good but look your country is worse" (i don't even know if it is actually your country). Especially when it looks like he didn't even took the time to watch the video when it last 5 minutes and answered just after 3-4 minutes.

Regarding the subject there is clearly worse in the matter than USA but the problem is that it can do better and that a lot of USA actions/decisions has to much impact in the world scale. So a lot of people can be affected by this kind of problems and not just american citizens. Plus, it is incredible the power that the USA elite has compared to the average american.

Does Turkey pretend or come as being free of corruption, like the US does if they are talking about other countries corruption problems in various American sources (Media, Thinktanks, Embassy conferences)? Thats the difference between the two.

This is about USA. Go start a thread about whatever other country instead of shitting up my thread.

I'm sorry?  Isnt this a general political discussion?

You want to discuss political corruption in one country in isolation rather than relative to the wider global situation?  I just thought context was useful.  The US is, along many other western countrie,s amongst the least corrupt globally.  Turkey is amongst the most corrupt.

But ok.  Carry on then.

Brazil even though is western country is among the top dogs of corruption. We make that a way of living in all stances of society and government.

I was bringing context, best way to bring context was to compare to a country you presumably know and love.

Don't you think slagging off someone else's country coule be an annoyance too?

Its best to be objective and grown up when discussing politics, rather than defensive and closed minded.

The only defensive thing here is your remark about Turkey, you only brought it up because my username is Turkish. Your post came not even 3 minutes after I posted this video, a video which is nearly 6 minutes long, you didn't even watch it, you don't know what it's about and yet you still posted a shallow driveby post because of my username so don't talk about context. Your post is uncalled for.

Let's remind that we users don't define or can prohibit any poster of commenting what they think is contextual, but you can report off-topic post not needing to go ad hominem about it.

US pretend to be free of corruption? And are you talking about government pretending to be free of corruption or the media outlets? because the media I'm positive is very aggresive in exposing corruption inside even if for political war and agenda.

Corruption is indeed a very pressing issue in America, all latinamerican countries specifically suffer from this and is a huge part why we can't grow as a whole and instead get idiotic presidents like Maduro, Chavez and kirchner. It's always an extensively discussed issue when is election's season but it's never really a priority of the government untill an specific case becomes mainstream.

A shame.

Thats the difference? really?

Are you saying that US society at large and Government is as corrupt as Turkey or Greece or Brazil?  

 

The Turkish president is a lunatic and an aspiring dictator. They are way beyond corruption at this point.

Yeah, I've seen that video before...

on a lighter note, this was in the comments;

"In capitalist America, bank robs you"

Which is both funny, and very sad.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

And false.

The only country (that I know of) that has had banks take money from their depositors is Cyprus. That action is currently illegal in the USA, although it was legalized in Canada last year (or the year before, I lost track of time).
