majority of Turks are intellectually and mentally below average

What is "the average" here? How did you calculate it?

What is "the average" here? How did you calculate it?

Probably the best measurement for intelligence is your level of education. It has it's flaws but there isn't a better way to calculate something like this for big masses of people.

According to the statistics like 15- 17% of Turks know English (even less people know any other foreign language too)... Of those 17% a huge part is people who are at very basic levels of proficiency. So like 90% of the population has no real access to information, to foreign news sources, to foreign knowledge and know how.

You will tell me what is the percentage of people in Turkey with a Secondary and higher secondary education? What about these with a bachelors degree etc?

This is the statistics from 10 years ago for those between 25 and 34 but let's say that now it is better:

What if you include those over 40-50-60 years old etc? You start to see the picture.

Finishing high school is something pretty average when it comes to education and I am not even talking about the quality of secondary schools where Turkey is behind developed and many developing countries too.

Yes Turkey is below the world average in education and hence in intelligence too... Or at least behind the part of the world that matters.

WTF is happening in that country man? Literally want to jump on a plane and go to Taksim and protest on my own. Like everywhere I look my beautiful country is on the same league as North Korea, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, etc. And then there's a not-so-ignorable minority of people defending this shit; anybody can defend anything, but the way they defend it shows that they have no clue why their arguments are retarded at all, which means they are retarded and have no clue also. I am so fucking angry.

The statistic you shared is from the OECD. It only includes 38 countries and these countries are rather developed countries. (Actually, even Türkiye being in OECD proves that we're not as bad as you think)

I'm pretty confident that Türkiye is above the average in everything you mentioned, considering the world is not just about OECD or developed countries.

Not saying we're the best. It is just factually not correct that we're below the average.

Eh, these are the countries Turkey trade with and compete against the most in most venues. Business, trade, economics, building, sports, anything. Of course Turkey shouldn't be compared to Sub Saharan, Central Asian or Latin American countries. It's a country of 85 million with near 1T GDP. OECD is our league. There's a reason why every other developing country wants to join the group.

This is why I wrote "the part of the world that matters" in the end. Because nobody gives a sheit about what happens in Afghanistan, Congo, Haiti, Belize or Tonga etc. If you don't want to compare yourself with the best and you are happy to be average, then good for you but with this kind of mentality Turkey will never achieve anything great in any sphere... You see it in the Olympics too but there Turkey can't even compete with Third world countries.

They didn't Yet.

The bill is proposed by the Coordination Framework, a coalition of conservative Shiite Islamist parties.

In Iraq, a bill could legalize child marriage

Introduced in parliament by a coalition of Shiite conservative parties, an amendment to a longstanding progressive law could significantly roll back the rights of women and children.

One should note, age of marriage across vast majority muslims countries are in between 16-18. That is more or less standard rulling by sunni schools of jurisprudence today.

I remember, digging into this for an academic paper that three of us were writing. I gathered various original source materials back then.

Yes it is great when 40 years old man takes 15-16 years old girl. There are a lot of examples 60-70 years old perverts buy 16years old girls.

If both girl and boy are under 18, this law context should allow underage marriage.

 

[Anastasius]

It's not just Muslim countries, across most nations the age of consent is between 14-18. Forget countries, you can have age of consent varying by state.

Germany, Italy, Austria and Portugal for example all have it at 14. There are even exceptions going as low as 12 if both the boy and the girl are under 18.

 

[Scott Summers]

No matter if you are religious of not. If you are a Turk, you are the enemy.

Look how threat their own mayor when he benefits Turkey.
