Dubai is a wonderful place - except for women's rights -scary story!

[Heavy Set]

I saw this story and almost fell over... I realize it is their country, their laws, their culture and you, as an American, will never be one of them. Don't even expect it. That said, this story is a REAL eye opener if true:

There is no logic to this situation. No way would I allow my daughter to visit Dubai by herself. This is very scary business and the mentality is frightening IF TRUE.... Just remember this story every time you check into a Starwood hotel (I'm going Marriott from now on).

Wow, that is scary. Unbelievable.

Please check the statistical odds of your daughter being raped, or involved in any other violent crime in Dubai, then compare it to any big US city. Based on that, should you worry about sending your daughter to Dubai, or should they worry about sending theirs the the United States?

What is nuts is how they define rape in Dubai and the fact that she would be jailed as a result of her own rape (i.e., sex out of marriage). That is the point.

I agree that Starwood Hotels' response and total lack of support is surprising too. She should sue Starwood. I am sure this is not playing well in Australia...

Scary, for a 23 year old virgin that lives in his moms basement? Don't worry, the Dubai 3 aren't likely to come to your basement, although your mantitties might attract them, due to their size....

Real classy! Serious subject and you try to be funny. I am sure you are a joy to fly with...

Nothing worse than a F/I guy who takes himself too seriously. I am busy trying to expose Genny Lee for whom he really is, a pimply faced basement dwelling troll.
Carry on...

That I completely agree with. Dubai does have several laws based on their religion, and they are all crazy as far as I am concerned.

Dude, full on epic post of the year!

Word to the wise:

When in Dubai, don't shave yo man-titties.

Many in Australia didn't know about that either, until now....

keep defending them ....change your wardrobe and dont call for help at the nearest american embassy

Your airline flies here. Go to your mgt, stop defending it and insist on a boycott.

& if the tanks do roll here again...lets make sure half a million don't die looking for something that didn't exist.

Now this last statement speaks millions.

I don't care how many get killed. They kill Americans they pay the price period.
If you don't like to be killed then don't bother us . You start we finish , simply said

And yes US Legacies and ALPA will fight the Gulf Airlines.

What Iraqis killed Americans before Mar '03? Are you seriously suffering from Palin dementia? How many degrees/languages/types did you say you had on the other thread.?

You sound like a high school drop out overdosing on juice in the gym who's answer to complex global issues is "just nuke em all"

Actually now that I think of it you probably are. Part of the reason people come on here is for some intellectual exchange on broadly similar levels. You don't come near the mark and are actually an embarrassment to the flag. While I disagree with GL at least he articulates his argument like an adult (well most of the time)

This business you engage in of flippantly recommending the taking of multiple human lives at the drop of a button on your keyboard is exactly the level of comfort those who seek to mass murder Americans deal with. It underlines your lack of gravitas and understanding of issues. Disturbing.

Part of being American is giving the presumption of goodwill to your fellow human being regardless of color, creed, gender etc. a pilot living overseas is not making a political statement, he is paying the bills (and handsomely at that) while getting on with the business of life. The envy of people like yourself & GL manifests itself in attack. After all nobody from EK jumping on the DAL thread telling you how your life is because we don't have a clue - yet you do?

Comical

I think ualgrizz has you covered.

Sniper huh? Having served I highly doubt it.
