I have never seen nor heard a child efected negatively by playing mario or any other nintendo game.. what's the point ?

I think being overprotective harms the children more than not protecting them at all. at least they learn to make their own decisions that way

This has nothing to do with gallileo's theory. Ball is freefalling but the plank is not.

Immagine that the plank is made of many sections. all sections will have the same acceleration in free fall (g) in this case they can not. you have to calculate the acceleration at the middle of the plank like david said. The acceleration at the end of the plank will be greater than that. It's like swinging a stick. you move your hand 10 cm, the tip of the stick moves much more than that

Kurds exist. They have their own culture, traditions ecc. No one can deny their existence. They live aas minority "inside" Iraqi and Turkish borders. They do NOT have their own country. A country is the land which remains inside the borders of a sovreign state and a sovreign state is a state which has it's defined borders, government etc. and can have relations with other sovreign states. Kurdistan is NOT a country accepted by the rest of the world. There are no official relationships anywhere in the world with a country named Kurdistan. You can call Kurdistan a "cultural region" (a region populated mostly by kurds.

Iraq accepts Kurds in it's territory as an autonomus entity. which have free in it's internal affairs but the map shown here includes territory from Turkey and Syria. Both countries don't accept kurdistan as a nation.

I believe it was censored in Turkey becouse the mentioned crisis hit Turkey too in those times and probably goverment was afraid of "comunist-like" tougths in the book back than. Becouse creator of the crisis was capitalism (reason of hunger wasn't inadequate production. people didnt have money to buy food and food was being wasted, destroyed).

so i believe they were afraid of an uproar in laborer class

or..well.. something like that.. It's an educated guess at best :)
