was really dumb and badly written....
not just cuz u were trying to make fun of arabs, but because whosoever wrote it had no idea what he was doing, and really really lacked the sense of humor....

even those two-liner jokes like the one below r millions time funnier....
whats common between an intelligent arab and a dinosaur?
they r both extinct

lol well atleast you read it and cared to post a reply...so thanks :p

I've worked with arabs, and have had arab freinds during college, none off them were like the above....oh I work for iranians now, same goes for them.

C'mon.. every country has its ups and downs. No one is perfect. we just live for this so called 'prefection' which doesnt really exist but sometimes we come real close. Being born and brough up in Saudi Arabia i can tell you that a lot of the statements where just plain false and not to mention stupid..

sighz

sorry peepz, i just meant it as a joke...no offence was meant
