There are definitely human rights abuses in the Gulf countries no doubt, and if you are rich and connected, then you can buy yourself out of anything. And unfortunately, there are human rights abuses everywhere, including here in the US. I have seen people hauled away to jail over there, but I have never seen anyone executed by police for having an illegal air freshener in there car either.
But the fact of the matter is that, for the majority of lay people, they are very similar around the world. They love there children the same, they worry about getting food on the table the same. They have the same fears and anxieties, and for the most part are friendly and hospitable. Quite often, we only get to see the negatives in some countries and believe that how it is all the time and that it applies to all people. Comments seems to follow the same pattern. But, if anyone bothers to look inward, than you that no country or race is immune from the same problems and human rights abuses. All you have to do is look and see how many homeless, sick and neglected veterans we have here in the US. That is a crime by itself.
As someone who was born in third world country, and and have seen seen the abuses the human rights abuses and genocides committed by first world countries first hand, yes, it gets old and offensive to keep listening to the bull propaganda. If I wanted to, I do go join a extreme political forum.
Don't bother replying, as I won't read it!
