Danny Granger: Europeans smell like dead donkeys

Come on let's not turn this into a debate whether Turkey is a European country or not, there's a thread about it in the UN section, search for it.
Granger just stated an opinion, nothing more, nothing less, nothing wrong with it. He did make a mistake though, as he labeled a whole continent base on a tiny sample.

Unfortunately I had never had the ..pleasure of meeting a dead donkey.A dead mule once yes.
The worse is a dead male goat.
And what's your opinion??
I think animals covered in shit smelled the worst, pigs, cows and puppies, but the worst smell award IMO has to go to cocker spaniels... I think they smell better when they got skunked on the face.aim low, score high

Let's just say that.. Turkey is divided, there are people who live like they are europeans, and there are people who wants to be europeans, there are people who are not europeans (call them whatever you like).
It's not easy to live like this and be open to any view. Sorry if i sounded offensive , didn't want to do that.
It all comes down to what you want to be here. This is confusing from time to time.
edit: sorry for the reply after the warning.

Originally posted by xxax View PostAlso I wouldn't call Turks European
BTW, how many dead donkeys per square mile can one expect to find in Istanbul this time of year? And how much does FedEx charge to ship dead donkeys to Indiana? Can you get a bulk rate? Is it cheaper to ship them alive and then wait to let them die in Danny Granger's care?
And do they still call the place Istanbul? Wasn't it called something else like Byzantium just a few years ago? Do they keep changing the name of the place just to confuse me, or is there some hidden rationale?

Originally posted by thegreekmeister View PostEh what? Turkey is Asian country with 1% or less of it being European country (part of Istanbul). You can not change that , its fact.
secondly; its not 1%, and it's a not part of Istanbul , istanbul is a part of it.
lastly; of the population, i think about 30% live in the places that i mentioned as under the influence of europe.
This is never going to end. there'll always be discussions about this. But you have to open your minds about this first.
on topic : i've never seen a donkey before. let alone a dead one. So if he had seen one then he should have had looked for it.

Izmir is by far the most modern city of the country, and it lies in Asia
It mainly is because it isn't flooded by simple minded peasants from the East by the way
But this is a basketball forum, let's stay on trackTHE NBA IS FAKE

Funny thing is that there are more Turks living in Istanbul, geographically Europe, than all Greeks in Greece, or for that matter same thing could be said for a lot of other Europe countries.
But, with no disrespect to Turks, I think that except geographical, because of that little part of land, in both cultural or national matter, Turks could not be really counted like a part of Europe, they way more belong to Asia in almost every way.
