In the U.S., is it illegal to go around in public dressed up as a Nazi soldier?
It is not illegal to dress in any sort of uniform in the US. You are likely to get in legal trouble if you wear a uniform of a real US police agency, or a branch of US military, but you would generally have to actually impersonate a policeman or a soldier for real charges to stick.That said, there are other kinds of trouble besides criminal charges.Wearing a Nazi uniform on the street is likely to get you weird looks and possibly some comments. It is also likely to result in being refused service at businesses and being asked to leave. Should you get into an altercation of some sort, the uniform is going to affect how well you fare.I had the occasion to eject a young man from a hotel (I was working security at a convention). He thought it was a great idea to wear a Waffen SS uniform as a costume and to get drunk while doing this. He was being an ass, and combined with the uniform, this showed a level of bad judgement that was totally incompatible with being in a public place. He clearly intended to cause a stir. Had he not been dressed this way, we might have just sent him to sleep it off, but as it was, we kicked him out and told him to not come back.
Should an American, working in Saudi Arabia, have facial hair as a sign of respecting Saudi culture?
I am going to be working in Riyadh in an official capacity and want to be best prepared to "fit in" to my new host culture. What are the tips to make this transition? I want to remove barriers between me and others with simplicity and honesty so I can begin work after doing my cultural homework.
Am I prohibited from visiting Canada?
Why does somebody ALWAYS have to go off on tangents on Yahoo Answers? It's called ANSWERS for a reason, so you can respectfully answer somebody's honest question, not respond with your own personal opinion. Just for clarification, it WAS a minor offense, I'm only guilty of it because I chose not to fight it and pled guilty for a very small fine instead. I wouldn't have even been arrested for my "crime" in Canada. I wasn't even breathalyzed or anything, the police officer approached me and stated the he smelled alcohol on me and since I'm underage, promptly arrested me. I'm not sure what constitutes "public intoxication" in your country, but I'm pretty sure people don't get arrested for it simply by just having the smell of alcohol on their breath. Also, I wasn't being loud, being beligerent, or making any kind of scene whatsoever, you can blame it all on an extremely overzealous cop and American legislators' ultra-draconian attitude to those that drink before reaching 21.
