We are fed up of westerners who come here thinking they deserve an easy meal ticket. You were nothing in the west, so you came here for the houses and cars you could never get back home, you stole through taking out excessive finance that is not justified by you salaries. Then when you cannot pay you run, this is theft born out of greed and arrogance.
Anyway despite all of this you still disrespect out cultural and religious values with your behaviour, dress and conduct in our malls and on our beaches and comments about us our race and our religion. You spend all your time critizising our laws, society and systems. Yet, you could never have the lifestyle you have here back in your system. YOU PEOPLE ARE NO LONGER WELCOME, PLEASE GO AND POLLUTE SOMEWHERE ELSE

Easy Meal Ticket my a$$! This is not charity. People work and get paid for their work. Period!
Most banks here are nationalized. They gave credit, they invested in the credit boom, they invested in the real estate boom, and then things went sour. I understand interest rates were low because of the dollar peg, but bank lending policies were their own, right?
I do agree disrespect of tradition and culture if present is wrong. And yes the lifestyle here is quite fabulous. But Dubai is what it is because of it's spectacular diversity.That's why the government continues to invite investors and educated capable expats to help build the economy. Dubai's social structure and framework is also evolving, things are not gonna be this way forever.
PS If you still think Dubai is an Easy Meal Ticket, plz direct me to this place :lol:

The idea of the gourp is good. However, stupid people like moejoe and that ridiculous woman who bitches all over it have clearly missed the point and will just use it as an excuse to hatemonger.

I appreciate that you said that. The majority of quiet living expats here do not cause trouble. Certainly most of the ones I know do not act offensively in public. because they live quetly you don't even notice them.

Generally true, whether that means European, Russian, American, South African, whatever. But even so, it's not so easy now for many of them. Also it's amazing how, despite the country being 'tax free' most consumer purchases cost the same as in a London store (not food and gas though)!

It’s not that but I just speak the same way I'm spoken too speedhump, I still think that many are useless to themselves as they are useless to the community they live in and the country especially the ones who use the WE more often! They attach themselves to the ones that are really contributing to this country or their own. And the same goes to this guy who posted such a maltreat post in facebook. But both are part of a our world.
But what are worries me the most is the hunting for bad sides of the other party, like for example what good is it posting such a thread as this one? It just greats an unexplained hate among the locals and expats in UAE when there are none. I mean is it bcz they drive, live or eat diff then they are an enemy? The way me and most of the locals see expats is as we see locals, just a human been. Stereotypes and solo incidents great all of this, if not and if there were based on real facts tensions then you wouldn't see this country as peaceful and what it is now.

TO SH: in my experience there are alot of people in Dubai of any nationalities could not make it in a competitive, western society. Nowadays you need to be educated, skilled, disciplined, focused and well mannered to be even moderatly
successful. All characteristics many of the expats, as well as locals are missing.
In terms of cost of living: most consumer items are more expensive in the UAE than somewhere else such as US, Western Europe or Far East.
That is partly because of the small market and importation and distribution channels.

Well spoken. the majority of people live peacefully together in the UAE. In fact the same is true in the UK also, although you wouldn't believe it from what you read.

Yes you are right, many Nationals are unmotivated despite the government's best efforts to encourage them to get career oriented outside of just expecting to land goverment office jobs, and there have been a lot more expats coming from the West with worse skill sets, purely because Dubai is now 'on the map' through its higher media profile than previously. People now are more likely to consider it as a possible destination to find a job, rather than coming here with a work contract already in hand. :(
Even just 5-6 years ago most people in the West knew very little about the UAE.

moejoe, the same can be said by some natives about foreigners in living in most other countries. There will always be a bunch of uneducated rednecks like yourself who are biased against foreigners.
