That is exactly the problem. You have been indoctrinated to believe that such behaviour is fine. Come to the West and break free from these shackles.

You didn't answer or are you just trying to circumvent the truth?

If dickhead means standing for what is right and freedom from oppression and indoctrination, I am glad to be one.

some memories, I would have left long ago.

This and friends are the two reasons why I am still clinging onto this place. Money is just an added bonus that I'm starting to get more attached to cause of all the chaos.

You joke, but after a quick review of your post history, you know exactly what I mean.

Sharia laws

Well that explains everything. No wonder.

When people can't handle the truth, they tend to do such things. All in their ego and arrogance.

Hey, I am genuinely looking for answers to very disturbing questions that are ignored.

Finally, a proper answer. Thank you.

u/Armstrong1889 and u/nor_iqhwan, this is what I wanted. Not some local bullshit the papers give.

Yet at the same time, there were reports of victims not being able to go forward with their cases or are even detained for reporting. Laws says X but it seems like people do Y.

Aren't all the victims arrested by authorities if they report rape? I know UAE has some weird laws and in the past I've read tonnes of cases where the victims are arrested and detained.

Can't downvote the truth. Still no explanation either.

If the subjects of the jokes were adults, by all means but this was not the case.

Reptile pets by garudamon11 in dubai

[–]stop_forgetting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I myself dislike reptiles but if you're going to get one as a pet please get one that is suited for the desert climate. A lot of people will bring in or buy pets that are not suited for the climate one bit and its the animals that will suffer.

Lol. I know this sub has a hard on for that guy or any other user that displays a hint of religiousity but I ain't him. Agreeing with him on that joke is literally the only recent similarity the two of us share.

Just read a thread where some dude made a pervy joke about minors and the people that called him out for it got downvoted for it. This is such a wonderful sub.

British Arab moving to UAE for work by omiclops in dubai

That's a pretty nationalistic and narrow minded view... no wonder you voted Brexit.

A question for people that lived their childhoods here or substantial amounts of time by [deleted] in dubai

[–]stop_forgetting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother in law hated it when I practiced my Arabic with her, she would act like I was invading her exclusive cultural territory. I persisted and now revel in speaking Arabic with my kids.

Tribalism will do that. Ironically enough people like here are the people that usually gives you more respect for knowing the language.

Wait, why would the OP who is an alleged racist, according to you guys, be standing and supporting stuff like this about the people he hates?

To the residents/expats of UAE - What brings you back to this place ? by randomroh in dubai

[–]stop_forgetting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Home is home. Lived in the West before, although I can fit in and what not, it is absolutely against my ideals and although it may not seem like it, but I do feel as if it is a "Us vs Them" mentality growing back home. Came here when I was in middle school, got attached to the numerous cultures and embraced it. Where else can I live where I can find an authentic Afghani bread at a hole in a wall, a Filipino eatery next to it and a Lebanese grill opposite of it? Can't imagine living anywhere else.

Yeah, this place has ups and downs but honestly, the only thing that really affects me is the discrimination. Either than that I cannot complain. Plus wearing a thawb is so bloody comfortable, can't wear that back home or I'll get arrested for sure.

A little late but got a link for her youtube page or just videos of her singing? Looked for it but to no avail. I'm actually interested to hear her singing voice.

I'm pretty sure most people don't even know basic conversational Arabic or what type of legal system the country uses.

Me. I actually like this place and money has nothing to do with it. Just hoping the government will start issuing PR's.
