    ITT: The Real Dubai

    What's with all the glamour and positivity that retards associate with this glorified shithole? Don't people realise that it's nothing but an artificial, soulless, failed attempt at a global city filled with obscenely rich locals interspersed with a multitude of dirt poor expatriates? A city that combines nothing but the ugly characteristics of both cultures - western materialism, consumption, environmental degradation, prostitution, mixed with a punitive/double standard legal system, repression of liberty and pervasion of primitive and asinine Islamic fundamentals. How come one can readily exploit the numerous prostitutes that blight the city, but is banned from looking at a picture of a naked woman on the internet in the privacy of their own home? How come one can tailgate, endanger people's lives with a motor car and just generally drive like a complete lunatic (and believe me, they do), but the moment someone raises their middle finger it will land them in prison? How come one must pay exorbitant prices for alcohol, which is only served in hotels (otherwise a "license" is required if they wish to drink at home), but locals will happily abuse the stuff whenever they're not in the country? How come women must dress overly conservatively, homosexuality and open displays of affection are illegal but in areas outside of the city where toilets are mostly unavailable, local men will openly masturbate at the sight of a woman urinating on the side of a road? Cont'd....

    Cont'd
    How come local nationals are entitled to liberties denied to expats, how come they have special economic advantage, special access to employment opportunities, "local" prices, an obscene pension, don't shy to racism etc. etc. ?? After all, isn't this an Emirate that would be literally NOTHING without foreign capital and labour - the foreign intervention that turned these ungrateful sandniggers from mere goat herders to relishing opulent lifestyles? The hypocrisy and senseless arrogance is mind blowing... Pic related, this is the typical dwelling of poor Filipino immigrants in Deira, Dubai. This is nothing but an abhorrent city, a city that has no culture, no beauty, a city that has little base for its delusions of grandeur...

    And yet despite all this, I have a seething desire to return there............... WHY IS THIS /TRV/ ????

    You want a shit hole, try going to Syria. Nothing's scarier than seeing this man's picture on literally EVERY building.

    He's apparently the president, but my own family members have lost people who spoke up against him. I'm talking about literally vanishing off the streets.

    I'm soon heading to Syria to study the glorious ARabic langauge. I hope that I will soon have a more nuanced and enlightened understanding of the Syrian people and of the glorious Syrian civilization.


    If you'd like to
    touch my penis,
    then you'll have to
    cuddle with me
    (won't you cuddle with me?)

    OP here. The thing with Syria though is that it's expected for it to encompass "backward" laws and adherence to Islamic fundamentals. It's a genuine place, unlike the emirate of Dubai which is nothing but a cultural wasteland suffering an identity crisis. Ordinary Syrians are some of the most amazing and hospitable people you will ever meet. Where else in the world would it be considered 'daring' for local boys to run up and say "hello, hello" to tourists and then run off giggling? There is such an innocence to the place. <3 Syria.
    Unlike Dubai of course, where local people get around with a 10 foot pole up their asshole.

    I have a Jordanian girlfriend. She lived in Lebanon for school and had a blast with the people, the city, etc (and she's Catholic). Loved her time there, but doesn't feel the need to go back anytime soon...

    Do people get butthurt about Dubai because it's in the Middle East? Seriously, if other Arab cities were like Dubai we wouldn't have a problem with extremists.
