I believe I am enough "proper" to be a citizen of this country and enough adult to know about "life."

A democratic state should not impose anything upon or terrorize its citizens.

I am against the idea that women is a prize for men. Women and men are equal. They are just human beings. Gender differences are created by this state. They use national history, obligatory military service, state-directed media and national education.

I have been to many parts of this country because I wanted to. I have seen the suffering in the eyes of the people. I have also experienced their helpfullness and hospitality. many times. I am glad for that. I am glad that we have many good people in different parts of this country. We have to accept them as they are. Their one and only demand is this acceptance....by the state and by the powerful casts of this country.
