Quoting Deli_kizin

To do a janissary = to always wonder whether someone wants to put Turkey in a bad day light, to always think of conspiracies and to defend to your power the good image of Turkey where and whenever possible dirt on its image may occur. Variations in intensity possible, ranging from patriotism to racism, intellect and wickedness.

 

Ethymology: once upon a time there was a janissary, a yeniçeri and a TheJanissary

 

 Thanks

These jackals are everywhere. I have been attacked by knife 4 times in the last 25 years. The whole thing develops so fast, the cops are of no help. They just take the aggressor in custody and ask if you are planning to sue. Last time it happened I looked at the face of the 17 year old boy and said to myself forget about it. I don´t know if it was the right decision whether I let him kill the next person or just gave him a good lesson...

 

Rest in peace Gregor you´ve lost your life  so young, so unexpectedly...

 On Istiklal Caddesi there is full of policemen but they just stop black people to ask for their passport ( as I saw )

Quoting SuiGeneris

 

 

 did i say anything else? i just corrected the information given...

 

 ....the only difference that might make is one would think he would be more aware of his surroundings.  Actually if you watch the video, someone did jump in to help in pretty short time.  Of course, it was not soon enough, but I have read of other cases much worse. .....sad to say....

 

The simple fact of the matter is anyone of us could drop dead any minute...you know....a brick could fall on your head....the ground could open up and swallow you....many things could happen....

 Yes, rest in peace Gregor.....

 

How about studying martial arts?  At least it makes one more aware of their surroundings....the first rule....don´t let anyone get close enough to touch you.  In crowded situations this is hard to carry out.

 

I was in a situation many years ago where three young teenaged black boys stole a bag with money in it.  The police did find them, but when asked to idendify them, I declined because the hate from the (white) police was so intense, I was afraid for the boys.  They looked so frightened.

First we had burqas to protect ourselves, and now we get martial arts  At least now we can have a hobby instead of being at tc But, how about common sense for all people?

 Martial arts teach common sense...or at least should increase it.  What they do is increase our awarness to our surroundings. 

 

My martial art of choice is Aikido
