Warsaw.... :master: :master: :master:
Hey, how about Best EE Train Stations now?:)
I devised a new schedule that will take effect on the next voting rounds of the current series.
There will be ONLY 2 series on at the same time. Each serie, as you know, consists of 3 parts. In part 1, we nominate; in part 2, we vote; in part 3, we see the results. For the first two parts, a 1-week limit will be imposed on each. So, nominations will last ONLY a week, and the voting will have a preset end-date of a week. The results part can stay active as long as it likes.
So, this way, we will have 4 different series each month, and hopefully no more people complaining that I closed the poll too early, etc.

I think this poll was ridiculous.You made out of a eastern european city like Istanbul a mideastern city only in order to have Warsaw at the top.If it helps you to feel better that way then it's good but if not there was no reason not to have Istanbul in this poll!! I don't say Istanbul should have been the winner but it easily could take part without any problems.

If you say so thanIstanbul is a southeatern city like Barceleno,Rome,Marseille and not easteuropean like Bulgaria which is only 60 minutes away form Istanbul.Actually more eastern than Istanbul is not possible.It's the eastern end.
Just have a look at the map.Istanbul has nothing to do with mediterrainean cities.It's just 60 minutes away from Bulgaria.But as you said well make a mideastern or southern city out of Istanbul in order to have Warsaw at the top.

messiah, you obviously don't have much idea what Eastern Europe is. There's either a political or geographical term, neither Turkey nor Istanbul doen't fit to any of those terms. I understand your wish to show that Istanbul's skyline is better than Warsaw's or other cities' of EE but the fact is that Istanbul is not an Eastern European city just like isn't Rome, Milan, Islamabad or Buenos Aires.

I think nowadays Turkey cannot be regarded as Eastern European state. You have to admit your culture is completly different than culture in contries of the region. You are still different kind of society. On the other hand Turkey is under improvment and it is matter of couple years when it will become more European than Asian, IHMO.

Culturally we aren't eurpeans but there is not only one "european" culture.English culture is not the same as the polish or spanish,greek etc.. As lons as we don't live like tpical mideaterns (it won't nver happen) europeans won't have any problems with our turkish culture.I mean 20 million european tourists who come to Turkey every year don't have any cultural problems in Turkey.But visit Tunisia,Morocco or Dubia you'll see that a you are not in a christian country.This is not the case in Turkey.

The term "Eastern Europe" typically refers to European countries that were communist during the cold war. It has nothing to do with geography.
It is for this reason that I agree that Istanbul should not have been included in this poll. It is in Europe, but not Eastern Europe.

As I said Turkey is becoming more and more European, but unfotunately it doesn't acheive this goal yet.
European contries are sometimes very different from each other, but always have common roots(that means Ancient Greece, Roman Empire and the Bible). And these roots allow say that f.e. Latvia and Spain are parts of a common culture. If the Turkish society accept the patterns from these sources, Your nation will be in Europe.

I agree that historically most of Europe has been influenced and shaped by Christianity, but that does not mean that the Bible is a basis for European culture today.

But the whole beauty of our culture depend on fact that it is developing round-the-clock. If we used all rules from the Bible, there would be no progress and we would live like ancient Jewish people. So some norms are converted in to others - it's quite normal!!!
On the contary to your statment I can mention ancient Greece - where very popular was capital punishment (For exapmle Socrates was condemned to death). Nowadays There is no place for this punishment in Legal system of each western European state. But it doesn't mean that Greece isn't our cultural source.

You're wrong. If we followed the rules of the Bible we would've developed on the same level as we are today, if not better. The only difference are less stringent moral norms wchich people like to pursue so much, but they are mistaken if they think moral liberalism is a condition of human development.

there are in the bible many norms concerned f.e. civil law (very primitive) - If we used these norms in the age of omnipresent inventions like Internet, computers etc., it would be the end of civilization.
But Of course there are many rules esspecially these connected with human morality, which are still up to date, and don't disturb in any development!!!

If we followed the rules of the Bible word by word we would have stayed in the stone age.
If a man commits adultery with another man's wife, both the man and the woman must be put to death. (Leviticus 20:10 NLT)
All who curse their father or mother must be put to death. They are guilty of a capital offense. (Leviticus 20:9 NLT)
Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. (Ephesians 6:5 NLT)
Women should listen and learn quietly and submissively. I do not let women teach men or have authority over them. Let them listen quietly. For God made Adam first, and afterward he made Eve. And it was the woman, not Adam, who was deceived by Satan, and sin was the result. But women will be saved through childbearing and by continuing to live in faith, love, holiness, and modesty. (1 Timothy 2:11-15 NLT)
As I was saying, the Bible might be full of interesting stories, but it is no moral guide to live our lives by. At least not literally.

(1 Timothy 2:11-15 NLT)
As I was saying, the Bible might be full of interesting stories, but it is no moral guide to live our lives by. At least not literally.
As for the old testament, you have to take under consideration, that many parts of the old testament referred only to the people of Israel and their rules or how they should behave in a particular case regarding a pagan tribe. New testament carries a message of salvation to all people not only Jews, people who believe in Christ are saved by faith in Jesus not by the law of Moses and therefore the law of Moses from the old testament no longer applies to them (as Jesus said) except exceptions like the ten commandments which are universal (Read the references at the end of passages in the old testament and what they relate to in the new testament and find the explanation of the attitude we should have towards some passages in the old testament as explained by Jesus or his disciples, you may see a priest who could maybe clarify some matters more than I can for you) . Bible is a moral guide by all accounts and it is a free choice of yours to obey or disobey God's law. We should not kill or force people to obey the law of God, which is the Christian Bible. Not by killing or coercion but by persuation and love. We will be judged after death whether you want it or not, you may accept that women should not teach in churches or not - it does not imply that they should not be treated with dignity or love, but such is the law of God and it is not up to you to decide what is fair what is not, using your human nature which is corrupted by sin. It is true though that women should not have the position of authority in the church and are not allowed to preach. It is the same with homosexuality, God so ordained in His word, He is the Creator and He set the rules for us to follow in love and faith.
These are examples of how everything would be better if we did follow the law of the Bible (Just some random examples, because it is not a thread about a theological dispute):
Ephesians 4:29-32
"Do not any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up, according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."
Ephesians 5:8-9
"For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the lord. Live as children of light. For the fruit of light of the Lord consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth."
Colossians 3:5
"Put to death, therefore whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry".
1st Letter to St. Peter 3:1-2,7
1-2) "Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them so not believe the word, they mey be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives."
7) "Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers."
1 Peter 3:8-9
"Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing."
Remember warpus, think before you take passages out of context, even the devil can twist the truth to suit his own needs of deception.
Praise Jesus, our Lord and Savior.

As for Istanbul. I have absolutely no problem with Turks posting on this forum, but EE generally refers to the former communist blok, which Greece and Turkey are not part of, even if they are in the east half of Europe. So I dont think Istanbul should have participated in this poll. The definitions are changing however. But again I state that to me, Turks are more then welcome on the forum.

I don't see what the problem is, I looked at several atlas's and map of both Asia and Europe and Turkey is not in Europe. It is considered in Asia. Also, why do Turkey and Israel take part of European events? Like Eurovision, or UEFA, in UEFA participate Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Israel, Turkey. And UEFA Champions league. WHY???
Then You must look closer because most of Istanbul (including its main cluster) due to geography is in Europe.

Istanbul is geographically in Europe, but we're talking about Turkey.
Istanbul =/= Turkey.

This thread is about skylines so I'm talking about Istanbul skyline. If You conider Athens and Sofija EE, You should also consider Istanbul EE IMHO.
Remember that Turkey (also Russia) is a country where differences between regions are much bigger than in european countries.

True.
But anyways, I always thought that Istanbul should be included in the poll, but I made a poll, people voted, and we have to accept that.
