By 'we all' I mean ordinary citizens. It's not our job to police the world, and it is certainly nor our job to judge people.

If the government has 'strict' laws about prostitution, drug dealing, bootleg alcohol sales then there wouldn't be any prostitution, drug dealing or bootleg alcohol sales.

The reality is that on any given night there are hundreds of hookers in Doha's bars every single night, plus gay guys getting it on, Qataris buying alcohol on the black market, and teenagers selling drugs. The government is either too lazy to stop them, or they are deliberately ignoring it. My money is on the latter.

If the government doesn't think the 'problem' is worth dealing with, that's their decision. It's sure as heck not my problem. So personally I don't hurt anyone, I keep my business to myself, and I let others live their life as they see fit. Much less stress for all of us.
