Cruisin’
is she even Muslim tho?
She was raised Christian. But she says most Muslims out there are kind to her regardless of her Christian upbringing. She says there are traditional Muslims(who are harder and stricter) and Westernized Muslims who are cooler, but she also says she overall feels safer out there than she ever did in the US. And quality of life for her is greater out there. Who would've thunk living in a Muslim country would be easier for an educated Black Christian woman, than living in the US? Especially given the history of Racism from Arabs and Muslim-influenced groups towards Africans. But hey, this also proves just how backwards America can be compared to the often maligned Islamic-theocracies.....

It's really simple, if the argument is correct, it simply is correct, it doesn't matter if the person conveying it believes it or not. Do you understand? All of your other points are silly and have nothing to do with what I'm talking about. Those aren't arguments, you are talking about perception and the assumptions you make based on that. If I encounter a fat nutritionist, I would assume he is wrong because what he preaches obviously hasn't worked for him but there are many factors that play into that. Nutrition is based on studies, if what he argues is based on those accurate studies, should I throw his argument out because he is overweight?
My argument isnt that slavery is right, so Im not sure you got my point. My point was that Dubai DOES practice slavery, but so does America. If slavery bothered you, you wouldnt actually purchase 90% of the things you own. we already live in a nation based off slavery, whats the difference moving to Dubai other than youre moving to one who practices the same thing but on a smaller scale? I highlighted america to show how much slavery in fact doesnt bother anyone and your nation already benefits from it. No one said slavery was right. again, wtf are you talking about?

What you are currently arguing with me right now, is that appealing to hypocrisy isn't a fallacy. I'm saying it is in many situations.

My argument isn't about hypocrisy, my argument is about being able to over look the obvious (slavery) regardless of Dubai or America.

"really? so this is going to work when you train your children huh? you'd hire an obese nutritionist eh? the human brain doesnt quite work like that. actions always speak louder than words, if you tell me there's gold on the other side of the mountain and youre in rags I most likely wont go, but if youre covered in 24k gold from head to toe, the chances of me going to check increase exponentially. what in the fukk are you talking about."

What is this about? You have to understand, I don't really care about your thoughts on modern slavery in one country or another. But if country A was built on slavery and one argues that, it doesn't matter if that person is currently living in and supporting country B, another country built upon slavery.

what does this even mean.

you're all over the place, what you quoted had to do with your remark about hypocrisy, but in actuality you were talking about slavery being wrong, which wasnt my argument in the first place. "just because you're a hypocrite doesnt mean slavery is right", I didn't say slavery was right. I said it was hypocritical to highlight one country using slavery to argue that its not a place to live while already living in a country that promotes child slavery. :mindblown:

How does religion come into play when you’re trying to date in the UAE?

I was raised Christian.
And since being in the UAE, I’ve met wonderful men from different backgrounds, mostly Muslim. The differences do give me some pause, though. In my personal experience, there are two types of Muslims here in the UAE: the Western Muslim and traditional Muslim. As far as the Western ones, they have no problem with me staying Christian. On the other hand, I briefly dated a native Muslim man here, and while he was a great guy, he told me from the start I’d have to convert within five years. That’s an example of the more traditional Muslim men I’ve met.

Converting is not uncommon. I have co-workers from America who moved to the UAE, married a Muslim man, got divorced and cannot leave the country with the children. It’s a very male-dominated society that appears to protect the parental rights of the father more diligently.





She can keep that shyt :whew:

amazing.....


she takes the kids and runs across the world... leaving the dad with no fukking kids basically.. but i'm sure in some way, still has to pay the damn child support


but UAE is the problem.... cause one gender has too much power as a parent




the irony

Lord. When did I ever talk about my opinion on slavery being right or wrong? Hypothetically speaking, if you live in and support UAE and he says your country was built upon modern slavery, and it is, he is correct. It doesn't matter if the current country he lives in and supports is also built upon modern slavery. Is he a hypocrite in that situation? Yes, of course going by definition. But does that invalidate his argument? No, it does not if what he says is correct. That is why I said appealing to hypocrisy is a fallacy. You then went on to give me an example of what you thought was hypocrisy, in favor of appealing to it with situations that didn't make sense given the context of my post. To which I responded with why those examples don't fit. I then explained why calling someone a hypocrite wouldn't invalidate that persons argument.

Please understand. I DON'T care about your opinions about the modern slavery of another country. I'm simply trying to say that being a hypocrite doesn't invalidate an argument.

I still have no idea how this retarded woman took a man's kids to Dubai. How the fukk is he supposed to see them?

Also, the Arabs will shyt on her kids like no tommorow for being black, if they don't shyt on her already for working at a hospital. Dumb wench.

For those worried about the husband

" I was an abusive marriage with many financial struggles. Sometimes [my husband would] bring home money to help out, and other times he didn’t. The idea of moving to the UAE was to help our marriage get a “revamp.” But the final straw was me discovering his infidelity. I filed for divorced right before boarding the plane."
and what the fukk that gotta do with seeing your kids more than once a year



dude was a piece of shyt to his wife... no doubt about t



that doesn't give you the right to take children he fathered... and obvioulsy stuck around for... and run away to another damn country




picture my wife slapping me around, and not paying the bills sometimes... and i take our kid to fukking brazil somewhere for "work" as a teacher



FBI would have me so far under a jail on kidnapping charges... the devil would be my celly

It doesnt make the argument invalid, but if youre using it as an example to divert people from living in the country, while living in a country that does the same, its hypocritical. :mindblown:
