In 1991 Uygur wrote an article on the The Daily Pennsylvanian in which he expressed the opinion that the genocide of Armenians during the late stages of the Ottoman Empire did not in fact constitute genocide, a view he repeated in a letter to the editor of Salon in 1999.
In a blog post in April 2016, he announced that his views on the matter had changed significantly since 1991 and formally rescinded the statements. He went on to mention that he does not know enough today to comment on the genocide.

Rescinding Daily Pennsylvanian Article
Today, I rescind the statements I made in my Daily Pennsylvanian article from 1991 entitled, “Historical Fact of Falsehood?
When I wrote that piece, I was a 21 year-old kid, who had a lot of opinions that I have since changed. Back then I had many political positions that were not well researched. For example, back in those days I held a pro-war rally for the Persian Gulf War. Anyone who knows me now knows that I am a very different person today.
I also rescind the statements I made in a letter to the editor I wrote in 1999 on the same issue. Back then I had a very different perspective and there were many things that I did not give due weight.
On this issue, I should have been far, far more respectful of so many people who had lost family members. Their pain is heart-wrenching and should be acknowledged by all.
My mistake at the time was confusing myself for a scholar of history, which I most certainly am not.
I don’t want to make the same mistake again, so I am going to refrain from commenting on the topic of the Armenian Genocide, which I do not know nearly enough about.
Thank you for being patient with me on this issue, though I might not have always merited it.

Mutineer9 how about two wrongs don’t make a right? In case you haven’t noticed (whether you’re foreign born or actually living in a Slavic country), our side is against all of that nonsense. Youre preaching to the choir. You’re barking up the wrong tree, go troll the right wing Trump channels if you want to bring them around to your way of thinking.
KGB spy Putin doesn’t want to make the world a better place, his minions are targeting left-leaning candidates to lose and growing support for far Right movements all over Europe.
He just wants to weaken the West, and prove the Western way is wrong.

Ask Denmark and Poland how innocent Russia is in threatening other counties with invasion. NATO is the force holding back Russia from taking over and invading at least the old USSR states that want to keep their independence. Russia wants to weaken the EU and all cooperative efforts in the west, to get out of his way.
I’d prefer a less corrupt state than one where people can’t even demonstrate in streets, and support Navalny. I don’t want to be like Russia where our reporters are assassinated and nobody bats an eye.
Or Chechnya with Russia bombing apartment buildings filled with citizens, or a government beats and kills gays.
Yeah, we aren’t the greatest and have a long way to go to our ideal, but we are making progress. I have plenty of criticism for our own country. Doesn’t mean we just give up, go “oh well, we’re not perfect so we can’t point fingers at others wrongdoing” and lay down in apathy.

Trump vs. Hillary

Trump vs. Bernie
Current National Polling
November 6, 2016
Gravis Marketing, a nonpartisan research firm, conducted a random survey of 1,638 registered voters across the United States.
The poll was conducted on November 6th and has a margin of error of ±2.4% at the 95% confidence level. The total may not round to 100% because of rounding. The poll was conducted using interactive voice responses, with the results weighted by voting patterns.
If the Presidential candidates were Democrat Bernie Sanders and Republican Donald Trump, for whom would you vote?
Sanders 56%
Trump 44%
http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/Gravis_Sanders_Election_Poll.pdf
Bernie Sanders would have crushed Donald Trump according to new pre-election poll.
The poll, reported by the Huffington Post, found that the Vermont senator would have likely earned 56 per cent of the vote, while Mr Trump would have only received 44 per cent.
Democratic Congressman Alan Grayson, who endorse Mr Sanders during the primaries, commissioned the poll by Gravis Marketing.
Hillary Clinton did not fare quite as well in the poll amongst Independent voters – who could not vote during the primaries, resulting in Mr Sanders' loss to the former Secretary of State.
The poll found that Mr Sanders led Ms Clinton among independent voters 55 to 45 per cent.
Ms Clinton suffered a major blow Tuesday night from that particular demographic, losing independents to Donald Trump 48 per cent to 42 per cent.
