Then again, it's the middle east. That chick at the 17 sec. mark was probably about to take a dump on the beach.:D

IN case you don't know what they were chanting, it translates to "Martyrs never die".

In case anyone was curious for context.

Because the context makes it even worse.

Don't let anyone scare you away from going. Just do your research before going. Take cabs at night or whenever you visit someplace that may require you to pass through potentially dangerous neighborhoods. In other words use common sense. Turkey is still a highly visited country for tourists.

Good advice, also avoid any place that has more than 10 people gathered. Although I would avoid taking cabs as suicide bombers use those on a regular basis. Maybe spend as much time as possible at the beach, standing by yourself in the water about 30 feet offshore.

Considering some of the other shitholes he's visited, when he says India is the worst and it's not even close..... Jesus.

Am I the friend you're talking about, because you just described me.

I will say, though, that while India was far and away the most challenging place I've visited, it was also one of the most interesting. I'm glad I went and I'd go back. I was there half a lifetime ago, so I wonder how it's changed since then.

I can run down to the motel and ask if you want.

Somehow I doubt if it got any better.

If you can ignore the smell of burning bodies coming from the car bomb in front of your hotel you could probably find some good deals and enjoy some amazing babaganoush.

Missed some good football. Too bad.

Missed some bad football too.

Where the hell have you been? I've been back for a month now - immediately after the glorious mod regime change, ironically. :)

I just don't post in DC anymore.

Got burnt out. Got sick of thread after thread after thread of negativity so I left. It's the off season so I got bored.

Didn't know (still don't really) about any regime change.

I'm pretty much the same. Perhaps a bit mellower now. Hope you are well.

You should check the list of moderators at the bottom of the main page. You'll notice that the two assholes who used me as a ****ing chew toy before banning me are absent. I would have never returned otherwise.

Lol, I'm guessing phil and flop?

Must have been some shit. Might have to look for that thread.

Glad you're back.
I take it you're liking this version better?
