Noxx

No thanks.

Because it's one of the only (if not the only) things that's been able to be explained. So obviously the whole "conspiracy theory" has been disproved now :twss: As an aside, i woke this morning and my leprechaun finally gave me his pot of gold. Then i went to the market to buy a flying carpet.

Oh i wish you could see the irony. Oh how i wish.

Not sure if you're trolling or not.I was serious. One cannot make such claims without evidence to back them. I can't even take most of what you have said seriously now. What evidence you did provide was heresay as nothing but a conspiracy theory was stated. Show me a document or something showing involvement. An argument such as the one provided for 9/11 by you means that I can start saying that Pearl Harbor was an inside job because the US made massive profits off of WW2. I'm not here to convert you or convince you. You want the evidence, the internet is at your disposal. Like i said, what you believe or don't believe is entirely up to you and i couldn't care either way. I'm not going to do your homework for you. If you want to live in denial, by all means do so. If you don't want to take me seriously, by all means do so. Bothers me not one bit. I'm not going to ask you to change you mind or your opinion.

That was a serious response. I mean you're more than welcome to your own opinion, but if you (or anyone else for that matter) is still in denial about that fact that 9/11 was government planned (let's face it, the US made enormous profits from it so clearly things went as planned) then i find it really hard to take you seriously. As an aside, i never asked to be taken seriously. Think whatever the hell you want, lol. No skin off my scrotum. Lol that's hilarious. r8 it 8/8 m8 gr8 b8 i aprici8. Look, if my government killed 3000 people for it's own benefit, i wouldn't want to believe it either. Even if a plane somehow managed to completely disintegrate while by some miracle a handful of passports managed to survive the same crash (which is by all means not possible), i'd probably still want to believe my government had nothing.... lmao i can't even go on. Like i said, you believe what you want. I honestly thought it was common knowledge by now (US arranging 9/11). Guess not :XD:

Lol, like i said, no skin off my scrotum :mrgreen: :^_^: <3: :thumbsup: \:D/ :twss: :-D :-P

10/10 response =D> That just about puts this "argument" to rest.

You should be asking yourself those questions, to be honest. You seemed to get really offended a few days ago when i said i felt safer in the middle east than i ever did (and as a foreigner, ever would) in the US. And i'm guessing that's where your quest for vengeance started. Happy we managed to settle this.

Well that's pretty obvious. You're American yourself, so it's extremely hard for you to understand and/or admit that things like that happen day to day. Americans really hate when anything negative is said about their country. Why do you think, till this day, so many people think America won in Vietnam, and that the war there was at all justified? As far as police brutality. Yes it happens, yes it statistically happens more to african americans. Though with a country that is continental in scale, with close to half a billion people its very minor rates of abuse. Statistically in terms of size of land area and population Qatar is infinitely worse. And no, no one supports Vietnam and even people like Bill O'reilly stopping supporting the war in Iraq. And yes a gullible public is one of the worst parts of our culture but other cultures including Qatar have many worse qualities THAN* that :lol:, some of which you've pointed out yourself And Qatar has what to do with this, exactly? Or are you just trying to offload some of your salt by tossing a few insult about Qatar my way? Do whatever makes you feel better, but at the very least use a country you've actually been too. Right now you're going off hearsay, and a very biased american media. A media that till this day still believes that the Bush family had absolutely no involvement in 9/11. I might as well use Al Jazeera as my only source of information and/or news next time war breaks out in Israel and proclaim it to be the one and only truth. EDIT: I should add, the same media that made the entire country believe that Bin Laden is actually dead. If they're able to convince their country of that, they should be easy able to convince the very same country that if you come to Qatar you'll see donkeys walking on their hind legs, and big bad arab men enslaving anyone one they want.

Well you could go into history and how that feeds into current social conditions and representation, unconscious responses (like Randox just mentioned), probably economics... I am just academic enough to overcomplicate things like that. Yes, saying it's completely made up. The explanation is a simple one: most of the country does not think America won in Vietnam, and especially nowadays we feel that we should never have gotten involved over there in the first place. Interesting that you think that. As someone that isn't an American citizen, i get the complete opposite understanding. Perhaps it's because i lived in the south(ish?). Perhaps it's not the best place and the best people to use as an example (as i understand it people from the south are more likely to be racist and/or overly patriotic). As for your reasoning behind racism... i mean... You could go into whatever you want, make up any excuse you want, say whatever you want... racism is still very black and white. if you hate/dislike someone purely based on the color of their skin then any other reasoning doesn't matter.

Typically we hate when people say negative things about our country because most of the time they're flat out making things up, like so. Racism is a complicated topic and oversimplifying it like the last 10 or so posts have done is a disservice to everyone involved. :v Racism is absolutely not a complicated topic. It ids literally the most black and white topic there is. There's no way to under- or oversimplify it. Yet another excuse commonly used to [kitty]foot around the actual issues. Also, are you saying that the bold text is completely made up? If so, i'd like to hear your explanation.

American Media. I don't really follow the media here since it's very censored.

Well, media sure does make it seem that way.

I know there are extenuating circumstances, but it doesn't sound like you feel too safe :P Fear of getting arrested, not fear of getting shot and/or mugged by some shithead. There's a difference? Well, if you're a black american, then no. You'll either get arrested for no reason, or shot/harassed (by the cops) for no reason. Pretty much anywhere else in the world, there's a pretty big difference.

Well this isn't a case of corruption, it's a matter of them being extremely lazy. And truth be told, police all over the world are corrupt. I don't think you'll get a police force anywhere in the world that isn't.

I know there are extenuating circumstances, but it doesn't sound like you feel too safe :P Fear of getting arrested, not fear of getting shot and/or mugged by some shithead. You should really go to a hospital, eye problems aren't something you should [bleep] around with. Knowing the doctors here, they'll give me panadol and tell me i have [insert name of made-up illness/disease here].

For the past few weeks i've been having trouble with my eye. At first i thought it was a stye, but it kept coming and going. Woke up this morning and my upper eyelid was swollen so bad it looked like i was in a really bad fight, a fight that i severely lost. Hurts pretty bad. I should get it checked out, but i'm too afraid to leave the house.

There's literally no crime here. There's corruption, racism, but no crime. Rather i should say no crime that would really ever effect me (by that i mean theft, murder, etc.). I know there's almost no chance i would ever get robbed, mugged, stabbed, or shot here. I can't say the same about any other place in the world. I mean... the US reminded me a lot of South Africa in a sense, especially the part i lived in. It was a lot safer, but i could never feel 100% safe as i do here. And that's probably a bit ignorant of me to say, but growing up in South Africa really forces you to distrust everything. And Qatar has really been the only place that's managed to change that. Where did you live in the US? I don't think I've ever seriously felt unsafe here and I've lived way out in the country, in suburbia, and in two big cities. I lived in Florida. Between Orlando and Palm Beach pretty much. But we lived in a... i wouldn't say ghetto area, but it wasn't far from. And i think i misspoke a bit. It's not that i feel unsafe there, i just won't ever feel the same safety as i do here. That said, i feel unsafe in SA. I don't think there's anything that could happen for me to ever feel safe there.

Uhhh when i was 16 my dad got a job here. At that time it was impossible for someone with a white skin to get a job in South Africa so it was pretty much our only way out. I was too young to live on my own so i had no choice but to come here with them. Probably the shittiest 12 months of my life after moving here. As mad as i am about this entire situation, i'll never hate Qatar. It gave me a home when my own country refused to. It's also the only place i have ever felt truly safe in.

Can't believe through all this drama i've managed to stay away from cigarettes and any form of smoking really. Haven't even used my e-cigarette in like a month.

Well if i recall correctly CoD is banned here and i'm pretty sure BF will be too. So that wouldn't surprise me too much lmao.
