But at least we are not Dubai..

Hangout GupShup Cafe

I was just going through this bitter article by George Fulton.. just loved the way it’s put forward..

Well that dude is seriously retarded, I have never been to dubai but I know its got a rich culture of its own, it has its traditions, its values, and he just made it look like there's no human existence in that country.

You should have interacted with the real people a little more dude... the country is at peace, the country is prospering... if this is what being a "police state" brings to a country, then I'm all for it for Pakistan.

I hate it when people use their writing skills to defame another person or another country for no bloody reason! They're strict over a few things, get over it! It has good and bad people, just like any other place..

Re: But at least we are not Dubai..

:)

he shared what he experienced..

and as u have never been there, so i will take his comment as a authentic one..

secondly, thread regarding dubai which were previously shared has similar thoughts.. so its not new for me..

i know few people and friends living there.. n blv me, its all money and materials..

this comment make you retarded, i agree with every single point of author, as i was their last year march and again this year march.. no culture, just a man made rich-playground, read my ramblings of last year visit, basically my points was the same as the author:
http://www.paklinks.com/gs/dubai/314000-in-dubai.html

real people? if you say desi’s hanging around in dhoti’s .. well so much for the new land you can see that in karachi/mumbai too !

everyone is entitle to their opinion, but people who have been their and go through the EXPERIENCE OF Dubai.. their opinions matter more !..

Re: But at least we are not Dubai..

been there myself and I relate to the writer's perspective.

@redi: thats kool with me. I'll stick with my original comment. Life everywhere is the same, we're all running after money to pay our bills... no need to defame a country over it.

Re: But at least we are not Dubai..

True, every word of it :k:

8

and that just made u look retarded for saying all that to me for expressing my opinion.

Anyhow .. so ofcourse my opinion matters more when it comes to KSA? Coz I was born there? Lived there? compared to yourself and many others on GS who have never been to the place but will go to extreme lengths to defame the country?

Treat others like you'd like to be treated yourself is what I'm saying. Don't go around writing unnecessary crap about others if you wouldn't like others to write BS about Pakistan.

Ciao.

totally wrong, probably you are running only their are other things to do in life too.. like going to some cultured place which is totally lack by the Duabi and UAE as whole.

try lahore it has more i bet !

Re: But at least we are not Dubai..

Wont’ agree or disagree but I like the writing style. Very nice. :k:

Re: But at least we are not Dubai..

Now lets wait for sheikh muhammad’s direct descendent from GS to jump in :hehe:

Re: But at least we are not Dubai..

author's write bs about Pakistan, and we take it. Same way if a person goes from Karachi even though he is forgeiner in Pak & Dubai and then he writes his points are more valid and respected, imo !

Re: But at least we are not Dubai..

lolx @ janwar.. :)

16

i know who you are talking about :hehe: .. .

waiting for her ..to jump in.. :wink:

@redi: why be biased and share the negative experiences only?

If someone went to pakistan and wrote only about bomb blasts, would that be ok?

I have no problem if everything in the article is true, I'm just saying he didn't need to be so hateful about it, just like we wouldn't want anyone to be hateful about Pakistan.

During his entire stay in Dubai, he didn't even see one positive thing about the people nor the country? not one? seriously?

Anyhow, I didn't mean to start an argument or anything. I hope someone would understand where i'm coming from.

@firenze: thank you for ur opinion bhai jan, i can listen to other people's opinions without getting my nickers in a twist. Ciao indeed.

18

their are exotic bars, strip club, classic cars, arab hotties .. huge malls.. atlantis, skyscrapers...

if that is positive for you..so be it, not for everyone !

19
