Skocking-Paris' Metro Looks Worse Than Istanbul's

If I'm not mistaken it was about a year ago truthatallcost posted a few pictures of a street in Paris that was a tent city. The pictures spanned no more than a block. I asked him at the time where and when the pictures were taken. He couldn't or wouldn't answer.

Whatever the point in his post was at the time it fizzled and farted into nothing. I'm by no means in any way an authority on Paris but I was curious as to where the picture was taken. At the time I told him that I could easily take him to places in America with tent cities.

Wonder why truthatallcost has elected not to compare the French passenger rail service to the passenger rail service in the US?

He is just doing his usual ignorant race baiting for the rubes.

I'm sure if you went through the Metro station for the Louvre, and a neglected station on the outskirts of Istanbul you could reverse the comparison. It's simply not an accurate comparison.

He doesn't want to make valid comparisons, he wants to peddle his agenda of Europe going down the drain on account of all the filthy immigrants, while Istanbul looks great on account of all its beggars having migrated to the EU.

Just another moronic thread from the customary source.
 
.......and can't even spell the title properly:roll:

In doing a bit of research, begging appears common in Istanbul, many of whom are refugees.

I think its very difficult to compare France with Istanbul, given the vast difference in variables impacting the countries. It's not like their social programs are the only difference.

Not that prohibitions have much effect, but begging is actually forbidden in Turkey. At least officially.

But with what you've already referred to, the police let's the over 1.5 million (mostly Syrian) refugees it has taken in, move more or less freely. Especially as it seems unable or unwilling to do all that much else for them.

Only place the authorities crack down on with more enthusiasm being the subway.

If the OP had even the slightest clue on ANY foreign country in general and (here) Turkey in particular, he'd know that all one has to do is go to Taksim square and one is inundated in beggars.

In that respect things have deteriorated vastly since 2014 when the first wave of refugees from Syria appeared.

You could also show vids of middle easterners squatting next to the fountains in the public squares. Try that in Istanbul and I’d betcha dollars to donuts you’d get arrested for ****ting in public. Prolly for videoing it too.

Sure, if you were going to judge a city based on one train station. Even then, the Istanbul Metro has 89 stations on 115km's of track servicing 400 million people a year. Paris has 302 stations on 214km's of track servicing 1.5 billion people a year. Not exactly apples to apples.

+1. truthatallcost is paid troll from Olgino, Paris metro stations are full of Africans and other colored people (not Istanbul) simply because Paris is so much better for living than Istanbul
