I was in Turkey in 1982. Somewhere along the line, I figured we would be enemies with those ass hats 🎩 I thought Turks were some of the most disagreeable people I ever met. I still do.

If somebody goes berzerk in a Turkish schoolyard, Turkish leftards will blame the manufacturer and demand that it be banned. They do have leftards, don’t they?
