I'm not really proud of everything that happens in Saudi or other Gulf countries, but I being judged by my nationality so often is what makes me conclude that those people are just envious.

I don't live in Saudi Arabia right now. I study in Nottingham, UK. I have two Libyan friends here.



I think you got what I want to say, Fred. You're Libyan. You know how Saudis are stereotyped in almost all arab countries. It's wrong.

And judging from the Libyan guys here, yes, you're in the safe side :D
Stereotyping is bad thats for sure. But when you say people are envious, well thats a form of generalization too.

Ah, you live in England. Libyans there are like Ants :D

I did used "most and not all" just to avoid generalization. As I said, I have a lot of Arab friends mainly those who don't judge me for being a Saudi.

Indeed, a lot of Libyans here in UK. But in Nottingham, Jordanians are like ants, they're everywhere!

I've been told that the population of Jordan is almost 6 million. Judging from the number of jordanians studying in Nottingham alone, that's like 5-10% of the whole population of Jordan! :D

:tup: for being a Saudi wela for being born in Houston? wela both? :D
For being born in the US and still holding firm to your Arabian nationality :D
Really, what do people envy "Arab Khaleeji's" for?

Superior education, superior health care systems, superior universities, superior infrastructure, etc?

Ya, exactly, the things that really matter we don't really have them. But we do have high buildings, big fountains and a couple of man made islands.


I think we should be more realistic about ourselves, the only difference between gulf countries and other third world countries, is that somebody dug a hole here and found a liquid they call oil.

Also, the fact that you're better off than other Arab countries is not really much of an achievment is it? Its not like the other Arabs are any good. As sad as i am to admit this.
Spot on man.

It's not necessarily a bad thing but if ruled proper, it can be exciting! I for one would love to name the nation "Arab Socialist Republic" with Socialism ideologies but that's just me ;)
Speak for yourself Commie :p


You would have liked it if the (real) Baath movement got what it wanted then.

The real Baath movement, was a socialist, secular movement that called for Arab unity.

The supposed Baathists like Saddam and Bashar El-Assad are just using the ideology as a front.

They're good guys, though i don't agree with them on social and economic issues.

Just reading their constitutions makes me think of the Soviet Union, something which I do not agree with.

They seem like good guys, too bad no one took the movement seriously.

جمع حسني مبارك القيادات العليا وفيهم البابا شنودة وشيخ الأزهر
وقال في كلمته:

سيكون إبني جمال رئيس جمهورية مصر في عام
2011

فقام البابا شنودة وقال: اللهم صلي على النبي.

تعجب شيخ الأزهر!! وقال: إنت أسلمت؟؟؟

فرد عليه البابا:

ماهي حاجه تخلي الواحد يكفر ياجدع!!!
