I think you're broadly generalizing here. While the rest of my body might exist in full color, everything covered by my underwear is rendered in grey-scale.

You may as well say that green is a shade of blue or orange is a shade of yellow. They're pretty distinct.



Some cultures have, in the past, not distinguished green and blue. Colour and culture are weird. What I'm referring to is the fact that what people would consider pink can be well within the red zone, toward the centre - it's not on the spectrum at all. You can make what people would call pink by mixing white with red. You can't make any other colour doing that, you just end up with 'light' something.

Significant is the fact we are talking about most secular and 'civilized' muslim state, which tells us a lot about muslims and Islam itself.

Huh, first post in few months which contains word "muslim", but not word "rape". Good to see he has calmed down.

That picture is almost hypnotic in the questions it raises. Why is yellow, one of the supposed primary colours, such a tiny wedge of the pie? Why is green so huge? Why is there no clear boundary between red and orange like the other colours have?

Colours are weird.

There's a ton of colors like that; the article even mentions examples of such. Brown is just a dark shade of orange. Mint is a light shade of green. Lavender and periwinkle are light shades of purple and blue, etc etc. There's nothing particularly unique about pink.

Yeah we should just drop color names and use wavelenghts of light and combinations thereof.

In some (maybe all, I don't know) of the Celtic languages they use one word for various shades of green, blue and grey and add words to differentiate like "sky", "leaf" or whatever particular shade you're trying to talk about. Of course, there are recently invented words for green in some of those languages because of the influence of the majority language but older speakers often find them really bizarre.

Earlier I saw like two images on the front page using it to justify assault weapons because clearly if someone can kill people with a truck they can kill people with anything. Therefore, don't regulate guns. Ever. In fact give everyone guns.

You don't have to 8e a good person to 8e a hero.

The irony is that the Turkish coup is actually much more likely to be an inside job; Erdogan has a history of faking coup plots.

(Also, the idea that Fethullah Gulen, a former ally of Erdogan in his drive to desecularize Turkey, is behind a plot by the infamously secularist Turkish military – does strain credulity a lot.)
