Do you get many Kurds with blonde hair?

Have you ever played Metal Gear Solid?

If you have, you might know where I'm going with this.

You get Kurds with natural blonde hair, but most the blondes dye their hair

Ive played literally 1 of the MGS games for like 15 minutes, so please enlighten me, carry on :P...

In MGS1 there's a character called Sniper Wolf who is a Kurd from Iraq. And she's blonde. I figure she dyed her hair for better camouflage (the game is set in Alaska).

I always just go to the city of Erbil and shaqlawa, around the citadel and the english regions. Its snowing there at the moment, why can't we have some of that weather :/ I just can't stand the relatives that stuff you with food :P

Yeah its changed so much since I've last been, its developing so fast. This is a $5bn project being made by the same company who made half of Dubai, its going to finish in 5 years, looks dope:

hahaha i know what you mean! Whyyy mother nature, whyy?!! I love that kind of weather <3 OMG they just dont know what 'im full' means or 'im not hungry' being force fed ahahah XD Oh WOW looks just like Dubai, not surprised there ahaha. ahh i would kill to go back now

I'm half Kurd (iran) yay!

I'm genuinely surprised by the amount of Kurdish people I have found on TSR!

Yeah winter weathers the best, but last time I went is was still like 20 degrees, and everyone had a go at me for just wearing a t shirt :P typical

hahaha yeah lol its always my mother shouting at me...telling me its so cold, put your jacket on and gloves and hat ahaa im like mother its not that cold haha XD was always like that in Turkey! Did you go on the bosphorus cruise?

Yes I am aware of Syria.

First off the PKK, a stupid organisation in the view point of most Kurds. Just like Nelson Mandela was a member of the terrorist unit of the ANC and ordered over a dozen attacks killing multiple, the same goes for the leader of the PKK. However, Mandela did more right then wrong, and even admitted to his crimes (his jail sentence). They were/are both trying to get rid of Aparthidism, but the PKK is more about gaining power than equality which is why its hated. Bare in mind the PKK only formed due to the abuse and inequality among the Kurdish minority in Turkey (14 million people), where they couldn't even speak their own language. Most people including I are happy to see the PKK disabandonment as we don't agree with the principles, although Apartheid still exists. Mandela even rejected his peace prize by Turkey because of its human rights abuses and racism.

YPG formed towards the beginning of this year. Kurds refused to take part in the the Syrian Civil War for both the rebels and the state, and so they were innocently slaughtered. However, the rebels slaughtered and kidnapped hundreds and thousands of Kurds for this reason in the northern cities and Aleppo, and so it was necessary to prevent the innocent killing of Christians, Kurds and other minorities by the terrorist ridden rebels. The most important role of the YPG is to allow the safe passage of refugees into Iraq, there are over 200'000 Syrian Kurds in Iraq now, all paid for by the Kurdish Regional Government as the UN is only willing to help refugees in Turkey.

Whats your opinion of the two acronyms you mentioned?

Some of my Arab Iraqi friends still revere Saddam.

What are the reasons behind this?

No, I did go one like a 2 hour boat trip on the Marmara Sea I think or something, Im spending two days in Istanbul this year on my way there, found the cheapest tickets form Heathrow to Erbil for like £440

Ahh the heat, Ive still not even turned my heating on at home yet in Manchester :P

Ohh that sounds good! oh no way! Thats the cheapest you could find? Quite a good deal really, so on your you'll be spending two days in Istanbul? even more jealous now! pleasee take me with youu ahahaha! you are mad! Its was like 14 degrees a few days ago here in Nottingham, not even cold!
