Definitely. I don't know why western people are so ignorant.... Wait I know CNN, fox news, movies etc. There is a reason why Americans are known as stupid. Also when they read that list out, people get stoned or put to death when they commit such an act in public, not in private quarters. It's all about vision 2030

Hey, JohnSmith. Did you listen? 1:28. Zuby says: "Saudi Arabia has no taxes. Period. The whole country. The infrastructure around the cities - not just the ex pat areas - is excellent. It is safer. You are safer in any Saudi Arabian city than any U.S. city, by miles." Sos - the female and money addict - cries out for alcohol. The big guy admits that he does not know much about Saudi Arabia. ...

It’s not only towards Saudi Arabia, it’s any country in the world, Americans have this thing called « American exceptionalism » where every other culture is automatically inferior(weather they know it or not it 100% exists)…you should see how Americans who’ve never left America behave when they go to certain countries especially third world countries who are welcoming to them, or even first world muslim countries, hell even secular first world countries(although not as bad but still)…that is why the world have always generally speaking dislikes Americans. As an American i love my country but it’s the sad truth I wish we weren’t so arrogant and ignorant, it’s a horrible combination.

I lived in Dubai for 7 years, moved back home last year. I miss it. The more I stayed there, the more I liked it. I've been to New York about a dozen times after dreaming about it since childhood. The more I went, the more I hated it. And that was just as a tourist without paying taxes or insane rent for a shoebox.

[@alexanderhamilton6370]

I've lived in dubai since 2010, will definitely miss it when I return to the US some day. The issue, however, is unless you're Lindsay Lohan you're not going to settle down and grow roots here. It's not our home and we all must leave sooner or later. It's a transient place which feels forever transient, and for over 10 years now I'm always constantly aware this isn't fully, truly home and some day I'll have to leave.
