Will the EU stick to its guns and demand reform or merely acquiesce? Turks Defer Trial of Novelist Who Cited Armenian Deaths The New York Times December 17, 2005 By Sebnem Arsu ISTANBUL, Dec. 16 - A Turkish court put off the trial of a prominent novelist on Friday after a brief hearing, giving the government until Feb. 7 to decide whether to go ahead with criminal proceedings against him. The charge involves his mentioning the killing of a million Armenians by the Turks in 1915 when he gave a magazine interview, in which he also said 30,000 Kurds had been killed since the late 1980's. Angry nationalists booed the bestselling writer, Orhan Pamuk, and jostled the police as they escorted him into the packed courthouse, where the proceedings were monitored by observers from the European Union, which Turkey hopes to join in coming years. "I am sorry that I could not testify," Mr. Pamuk said in a statement issued by his publisher, after the court decided that the Justice Ministry in Ankara had to give authorization for the trial to proceed. "Dragging out cases of thought crimes which shouldn't be begun in the first place and starting new ones are not good for Turkey, for our democracy," he said. He remains free but could face a jail term of six months to three years if convicted. Policemen with plastic shields escorted Mr. Pamuk, 53, from the courthouse into a minivan under a barrage of eggs hurled by angry protesters, while shouts of "Traitor Pamuk!" echoed in the narrow street. Mr. Pamuk is accused of "insulting Turkish identity" in the interview last February in Das Magazin, a Swiss publication. He was quoted as saying the mass killing of Armenians by the Ottoman Empire in 1915 and the deaths of the Kurds in Turkish operations against the separatist group P.K.K. in the 1980's were still forbidden subjects in Turkey. While historians are widely agreed that the 1915 massacres constituted genocide, the subject remains taboo in Turkey, which says the killings were related to World War I clashes after Armenian militants joined forces with Russia. Article 301 of the Turkish penal code, revised last summer as part of Turkey's efforts to meet the legal and economic standards required to join the European Union, still criminalizes public comments that "denigrate Turkishness" or criticize the state, the army or the founder of the republic, Ataturk. Nearly 60 intellectuals have been charged under it. At the end of the hourlong hearing, Joost Lagendijk, a Dutch member of the European Parliament and an advocate of Turkish membership in the union, expressed disappointment that the government had not dismissed the trial. "Now it is up to the government to take the responsibility," he said. "They can say that the penal code was reformed not to restrict the freedom of speech but to allow for more." The Turkish justice minister, Cemil Cicek, speaking to NTV news television, accused journalists of stirring up emotions and said there was no reason to criticize the court's decision, because it was powerless to proceed without an order from the Justice Ministry. "The question has been asked, so one should wait for the reply," he said. Denis McShane, a member of the British Parliament who was observing the proceedings, said he had been hit in the face by a nationalist lawyer during the melee. On Thursday, the European Union's enlargement commissioner, Olli Rehn, said it was not Mr. Pamuk - whose novels, including "Snow," "My Name Is Red" and "The Black Book," have been translated into 34 languages - but Turkey that would be on trial. He called on the government to prove that the changes in the penal code were not simply window dressing to convince Europe that it could start talking with Turkey about membership in the union. Another European Parliament member at the trial, Camiel Eurlings of the Netherlands, said, "If Turkey wants to continue toward the E.U., and I hope it will, then really freedom of expression is a fundamental necessity." Prof. Mehmet Altan of Istanbul University, who was acquitted of a similar charge, predicted that the charges against the novelist would not stick. "This was a provocative plot by those who are trying to block Turkey's entry into the E.U.," he said. "The case served its purpose, so they've done with it."

So much for our more civilized cousins. Shouldn't young offenders receive psychological treatments instead? From the Beeb: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4536358.stm Q&A: Indeterminate sentences An 18-year-old man has been given a life sentence for setting two bins on fire in north Devon. Although only causing a few pounds damage, Christopher Brown was given an indeterminate sentence after he threatened to commit more crimes if he was released. BBC News asks how such a seemingly minor offence can have such a grave consequence. What does indeterminate sentencing mean? The new power was instituted as part of so-called public protections measures in the Criminal Justice Act 2003 and has been used since April, 2005. In addition to being able to extend licence time for other crimes, judges were given the power to set indeterminate sentences. Under this sentence, a minimum tariff for incarceration is handed down but the defendant must satisfy the authorities that he or she is fit for release and does not pose any threat to the community. Why was the power introduced? The new sentence means that individuals considered to be a threat can be locked up even if their specific crime was not particularly serious. Although Brown set fire to two wheelie bins, the offence he was charged with, arson, carries a maximum life sentence. The new powers are triggered if this is the case. Because Brown said he was likely to commit more crime, the judge assessed he was a threat to the public. Does indeterminate effectively mean life behind bars? Not necessarily. Should the defendant no longer be considered to pose a threat to the public, then he will be released. But he faces life on licence meaning that, potentially, his movements will be subject to variety of conditions. Critics have dubbed these licensing conditions as "super ASBOs" (Anti Social Behaviour Orders). What rights do defendants have? They can appeal being on licence every 10 years and also have the usual routes of appeal. But they will serve the minimum tariff. What do the prison reform lobby think? There are concerns that vulnerable people who need help may find themselves locked up for years despite having not committed serious crimes. Tough licence conditions could see defendants going back to jail after release. Critics also fear spells in jail may make vulnerable cases even worse, where they become a potentially bigger threat to the public should they be released.

Start now before your first day of class. Learn to decompose a few good authors so that you understand their paragraph structure and word selection. Imitate them. Buy Strunk & White and peruse it. Keep several on-line dictionaries and thesaurii in your list of favorites. Use the free department tutors if they are available. Begin your assignments immediately after receiving them and put your drafts aside, returning to them with a critical eye. Archive drafts of your works as you go along, just in case. Disable grammar checking through your word processor; use the spell checker, though. Avail yourself of teacher’s office hours. Don’t be afraid to experiment and challenge “good enough.” Learn when to stick with “good enough.” Write to your intended audience. Play crossword puzzles and other word games. Contact me when you need a good copyright lawyer for that first novel or screenplay, I might accept jumps in barter. No matter what avoid stringing sentences together like those that appear in this paragraph Blutarsky 2008. No Prisoners! Edited to follow own advice

That is patently false. You have apparently confused me with somebody else. I have not uttered any racist remarks here or elsewhere. Nor have I used the word "pussies" or something similar. When you or a delegate can find the time, please search through my posts during the past several months, this will confirm what I am saying is true. Until then please give me the benefit of the doubt and do not attribute these vile things to me. Blutarsky 2008. No Prisoners!

Do you see the escalation and consequences inherent in what you are taught? Some jerk slaps you but instead of walking away you “slap … back so hard that it will make [the jerk] realize [he was] wrong” as you had stated in another post. Because it’s in the nature of jerks to respond to your escalation with a closed-fist punch, then you counter with a kick and the jerk further escalates by clobbering you with a chair. Eventually somebody pulls a knife and the other guy draws his gun. Or perhaps one of you anticipates an escalation and goes straight for his gun thereby preventing the other guy from using his own gun first. Blood gets shed, both parties may even die, when you could have simply walked away and ended the situation knowing the other guy is just a big jerk. That’s a practical aspect of “turning the other cheek” to flee, which is not to say there aren’t legitimate and sensical times when you may have to fight to save your own life or the lives of your countrymen. Consider you’re a tiny nation cornered with your back to the sea and suicidal neighbors pledge and keep trying to kill you over the decades. In that case you must fight with no holds barred or else perish, and the situation only defuses if and when the neighbors show by their actions that they have abandoned their bloodlust.

Learn posthaste how to sell a person his own dirty underwear. The degree may keep you from being eliminated at the first wave, but that’s about all it’s worth outside top schools and technical specialties. Most young people today would be better-off not pursuing a college education which isn’t specialized in a field with proven lifetime demand. To live even a modest life most young people need to learn how to sell and then, accepting risk, they quite possibly will kick ass and become rich. Modern unspecialized college life is a shortride ticket to what used to be called “debtor’s prison,” though this benefits the higher education snake oil salespeople of the parents’ generation for posers.
