You ignorant fool.
So you know what it is to be a woman wearing a hajab and living in fear. Is that what you are saying? thanks for the name calling.. at least I know you are weak minded.. At any rate.. did I ever mention women? I simply stated that the life there is simply repressive.. You dont have freedoms, and as a westerner you are oblivious to the truth of thier religious based governemnets, which is the root evil of freedom.

Your quote: "...worked there.. i know... thing is that what lies underneath.. the part you are not subjected to unless you break one of "their" laws.. You should be smarter than that." the "you" in above quote was addressed to a female. Therefore, woman. Your ignorant comment still stands.

Most Westerners miss this point:
Non-westerners think that Western society is decadent. But do you see any non-westerns asking the West to change?
Now switch this scenario around, and you see the West Telling the others to change.

But I would have to say most Republicans do that before you can say all westerners. Most Democrats do believe in other countries right to live as they want. Republicans feel the need to force their values on everyone, everywhere.

Though I'm sure Sarah would forgive them if they promised to get married AFTERWARDS. That seems to make everything OK. Mr. Balls makes a good point, if your rich, a polititian or a celebrity you can have sex everywhere and everyone would say it's cool

Your ignorant comment still stands. The you was the person who posted.. Woman or man, it does not matter.. the laws are horrid, and you are restrained to them.. so what is your point, other than you obvious stupidity.

You are really and truly dense.. See I understand that you dont live in fear.. that's because you are not subjected to living an islamic local life of most arabs.. I believe I even used the word flexible to describe there ways there to cater to the money that is coming in from westerners.. I worked there.. i know... thing is that what lies underneath.. the part you are not subjected to unless you break one of "their" laws.. You should be smarter than that.. but I guess I have high expectations of people, then people call us elitists..lol funny how the world spins. So where did you work out here and doing what?

I think the authorities in Dubai should have been lenient with the British couple, as it was their first offense, and given them a warning only and telling them a repeat would mean arrest.
