and I'm finding a lot of useful stuff here - and just ignore the rubbish. It's a bit like people who don't like what's on TV - don't watch it! Don't read the bad and enjoy the good.
Having said that, I really do agree with Charmed that there is a lot of nastiness here, but sadly that's what happens when people don't have enough to do. It saddens me greatly to think that most of those people are guests in the country. When I was still in London I used to get fed up with people moaning about the place - and a lot of them were Australians - complaining about the weather, the price of things, the food, all sort of stuff. My answer to them was, if you don't like it, go home!
People are in Qatar mostly for one thing - money! It would be nice if they could see that there are lots of opportunities too - to live a life they would otherwise not be able to. They are using the country for their own means, and should have a little more respect. If they don't like the laws of the country they are in, TOUGH! Get over it and get on with it.
Charmed, I am sure there are plenty of us with enough intelligence to continue to use this space as a lively forum for discussion and for help, etc. The danger, of course, if it gets policed too closely is that we then become embroiled in censorship.
