Don't need to read it I already know it.
So, could you please reread my post and several other previous ones? I
ALREADY said that Turkey is not wanted. I already said that I BELIEVE
PUTTING TURKEY IN IS NOT GOOD FOR ANY EUROPEAN COUNTRY RIGHT NOW. I also
said that this is not because our legislation or some other thing like
respecting human rights or not (which is a major nitpick for you and me
and other individuals, but very very minor in international politics),
and not because only 15% of the population want it. All because it is
not profitable.
So, I reword my question for your convenience. Assume making us a member
is profitable in anyway for your country and other EU members. And
assume we still have a stupid legislation. Do you believe they don't
make us a member just because of this? And assume otherwise is true
(i.e. they make us a member) Do you believe *you* (i.e. common Joe,
Hans, Jacques, etc.) have the power to stop it or turn it back? And what
is this power than? Do you have any evidences of this in recent past
(i.e. respecting human rights and general tendency of average citizen is
a big affect on international politics)? And as a further study, could
you please conclude about last several years of conflicts and positions
of dear civilized EU countries' and other western civilizations'
positions on international politics arena during the conflicts?

Just like the way it is here. With a minor(!) difference. Showing it, in
a court, requires some ball.
So what? Is it your or other average Joe's success? You are just lucky,
nothing more. And the way of life you have now, is based up on suffering
of the others. Either in the past, or not.
