Former Miss Turkey was convicted of insulting the President of Turkey ( at the time Prime Minister ) by posting a satirical poem about him and given fourteen month suspended sentence but could end up serving the entire sentence if she break the law again...
Since becoming President of Turkey President Erdogan has filed almost two thousand defamation cases by using a seldom used law...
Ex-Miss Turkey gets suspended sentence for insulting Erdogan
Turkey has become a worthless country to me...
Kind of funny how we think today. You do realize that in the majority of the world today, and throughout all of human history, you didn't insult those in authority. It's only in a few largely western cultures where people have zero respect for anyone but themselves... and think it's perfectly fine to be insulting towards those over them.
Honestly, if I hire you to do anything for me, and you insult me... your fired. In fact, I've done this. I think people should have more decency and respect. It's funny how people always want everyone else to give them respect, while not giving anyone respect themselves.
Just be respectful. I respect Obama, even though I disagree with his horrible policies. How hard is this?
1. I would never work for you.
2. Those that have worked for me were told to speak their mind and I would inform them if they crossed a line and give them a chance to correct what they said.
3. You must earn respect to garner respect and respect is not given because you own or run a business or country...
First off, if you had a visitor come to your home, and he started insulting you, and calling you foul names, maybe starts calling your wife a whore, would you say to him.... "Well, you don't know me, and I haven't earned your respect yet, and my wife hasn't earned your respect yet either, so you can say whatever."?
Or would you demand respect because he was in your home, whether you had earned it or not?
If you were hired on at a company, would you insult your boss, or supervisor, because he hadn't earned your respect yet? (by the way... kicking him out of your house because he didn't give respect, is equal to demanding respect. So don't tell me you would just ask him to leave, without demanding respect)
Now perhaps you are the one guy on the face of the Earth who would be different. Ok... I doubt it.
As for never working for me.... be careful when you say that. Everyone works for someone. I know a guy long ago who told me he was self employed because he never wanted to have to answer to a boss. Well his anti-authority attitude carried over to customers who demanded quality on his products, and he told them to shove off, and they did. Self-employed became unemployed, which led to being employed by someone who was his boss.
Be careful when you say that. Even people with no boss, have a boss called "customers".
But even beyond that... you should still be careful about saying "I'll never work for X". I found that out in an amusing story.
<story time>
This actually happened. We had a guy show up at our work place, looking for a job as manager. The guy, and our managers, didn't hit it off real well. They rubbed each other the wrong way somehow, that I was not privy to. But when your manager comes and says "We'll never hire a guy like him to be in charge".... clearly he said something, or did something, they didn't like.
Three months after this event, guess who shows up at our door. The dude who was never going to work there. Except he now worked there.
What happened? He applied for a job at another company, which hired him as a low level manager, and put him in charge of a project..... which our company was contracted to work on, and required he be stationed on site.
So not only did he work there now, but he was also in charge over the manager who's job he didn't get, and we had absolutely no choice in the matter because it was our biggest customer, without which more than 3/4ths of the business would be gone. It would have gutted the company basically to lose this customer.
So this guy had us by the balls, and he made sure to show us he knew it, because he would come in, check our work, file all the paperwork he had to, and then literally play video games, in full view of us, for the rest of the day. Funny story, but I never forgot the lesson. It was burned into my head 15 years ago.
Be very very careful who you say you won't work for. Your biggest customer could hire the guy you'd never work for, and tell you he's your new liaison with company. So unless you are a millionaire, and can pick and dump customers at will.... you don't know who might end up being the next person you have to deal with to complete the next contract. You just never know....
