It is fundamentally wrong to issue blanket statements that tar an entire nation with the same oily brush! I find it a little strange that someone with your acumen and longevity in the business ALSO thinks it's okay "because this is GFY".

TeenGodFather, get over yourself, you've not cause me to get upset. Just because someone points out the flaws in you and your GF, does not mean that that person gives a rat's arse about either of you .... I'm just making conversation, I mean really .... it's "just GFY" ...
I used "Value Judgements" in the context of TGF's GF deciding that all Turkish men are idiots and gross. She made this decision or judgement based on her experiences with Turks. TGF never said that he felt that way. He posted that his GF said that "Turkish men are idiot and gross". While that is a blanket statement, TGF is not guilty of making it. Had he said he felt that way it would be a different story.

As to my "because this is GFY" statement, that referred to TGF's comment that a place called gofuckyourself.com can not be realistically looked upon for "universal harmony and understanding". It is a running joke here.
