You surely fail to understand the concept of respecting the natives of a host country, regardless anything.
Respect is a two way street, it is earned and not taken.
There are plenty of people living in non-English speaking countries who HAD to learn thier foregin language in order to make a living for a better life.
There many but not plenty,And those are conscious choices made by people fully knowing that is the requirement, and those places have much to offer. I don't see anyone other that big oil and a few other players making that kind of invesment i.e: simply hire Arabic enabled people to work here for them. The avg joe couldn't be bothered. They will just move to the next most favourable destination.
If Arabic language was enforced here, and if that what it takes for you to make a living, you'll get urself enrolled in the nearest language institute, I'm sure.
You forget the world is bigger than the middle east. And the GCC needs the expats more than the expats need the GCC.
If I were in your shoes, I'd think twice before making fun of the natives, and their skills of a second language, specially in our case.
If your referring to your country mate, no one made fun of her, just pointed out, not lashed out as you assume she could do better specialy being a UNI student. Would be to her own benefit for her future. And why is your case special ?
Such cheap morals, and a low class character you got DDS.
Having a reality check akin to cheap morals ? Thats new.<br /><br />-- Sun Dec 12, 2010 2:42 am --<br /><br />
i feel like those people just dont want to understand that what im saying is kind of true because im living that way!
Nobody questioned the way you are living, we all believe you, it is you who does not want to believe what pthers have to say.
i understand them having more experience and seeing more that me and accept their opinions but they just act like all im is wrong !?
When you make exagerated claims, expect to be called on that.
look at the German for example they would never accept to be spoken to in thier country in anything but their languege even tho they know english ! we should really try and be like them..
Yes please do, the entire world would welcome that, including me, infact the west has been trying tooth and nail for this to happen. But just don't stick and stop with the language laws accept everything that is good.
Hell I'd be with you 100% even if you wanted to adopt the French Constitution. And thats saying a lot for me.
