For instance, you should never walk into a biker bar wearing a pink shirt, or any color shirt that has french cuffs. Inversely, a biker shouldn't walk into a bar in the Castro District of SF, CA wearing leather chaps.....<br /> <br /> Gerritt text/html 2008-05-19T03:26:33-05:00 Sean Costello http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71518/?l=1#536290 Gerritt said: <div class="quote">I take that the kid bullied is not on the &quot;Future CEO&quot; section of the Yearbook.<br /> Were you given the same type of entry briefing that I was?<br /> You need to know who and what you're dealing with before you go out anywhere...even in the US.</div><br /> <br /> <br /> heys actually one of the top of his class lol, but he's a bit fruity so that could be why.

Any &quot;poke&quot; bellow the waist was not considered to be an attempt at life, so was just a return of an insult, and would not be punished under Turkish law. This and the other things only applied to non-turkish persons. If you insulted a Turk, and were witnessed to do so, you could face time in Turkish prison.<br /> Now for the short periods of time that I was there, I did not see any of these things occur, but was told in official briefings that such things had in fact happened. Like I said, I found them to be quite engaging people myself. Of course, not acting like a stereotypical Ugly American, probably helped me not to see the stereotypical Ugly Turk. text/html 2008-05-18T06:54:46-05:00 Meats of Evil http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71518/?l=1#536225 Gerritt said: <div class="quote">I've been to Turkey, back in the 80s, so it may have changed by now, but it wasn't that bad a place.<br /> I seem to recall during my in-briefing that there were 2 things you had to be aware of.<br /> Insult laws. If a Turk thought he was being insulted, he was allowed to stab you in the buttocks with a knife. This was due to the fact that they considered the stabing to be a return of the insult.
