Taboo in Qatar............

Mr 7aasebToua3 ,

reread my comments, it is for your side man,

i am not saying what you think,

Mr Torque,

can you use your brain ( if any ) and think of what i am saying ..?? if it so hard for you, then null.

Doctora,

when you see your sister going out with some guy but not her husband you talk with toughness,

when i see something wrong with my son,we discuss..

... we are here to discuss, but i think you are not use of this Idea

I dont think you need your sponsors permission to get married. She may need her father if it is her first marriage. My husband needed no such permission... that is giving the wrong impression and is rubbish.

You actually only need permission from your sponsor to leave the country as he needs to sign your exit permit. The other letters from your sponsor for bank accounts and such are to ensure you earn money, address of your employer etc.

what i meant is : all the things i mentioned are taboo, over the world ( civilized one ) but in qatar it is very normal,

let's see what it could happend if one (xxx nationality ) want to open a bank account in the UK.. can anyone deny him ??!! not even the Queen..

guys, one of my friends taled me that if you are single, and you want to marry a ( NON qatari ) lady, you need the permission of your sponsor .. do you imagine this ..

so can you figuer out now what is really going on here !!??

Finaly Slavery in this country is really uncontrollable this is extreme taboo.

QL should start creating 'titles'. I wonder who'd be under shyt stirrers?

and I am wondering as well who's the shyt stirrers here?

You are right. They dont have the heart or courage to accept.

Read his comments, he is acting like a small kid not willing to agree what everyone is saying. So narrow minded and the language he use. Abusing all the time. How they get treated in home comes out in public.

I can say much more but its useless to say coz he is such an ignorant.

Whatever.....there is a Qatari saying that goes like this " bang your head on the wall if you don't like what I'm saying"

because i really couldn't care less about your opinion of me...

Doctora it is you who is the hypocrite..

You have been constantly slandering expats with ignorant, aggressive, hateful remarks; abusing people and then cry boo hoo when anyone on this site criticises Qatar.

You talk about us generalising and then go on and make a statement such as “A BUNCH OF IGNORANT expatriates can't you stand the heat???...... calling ex-pats, “idiots”, a bunch of “morons”......charming.

If you know in your heart what people say is untrue about Qatar, why would it bother you if you know the truth? I couldn’t care less what people say about my country because I know in my heart that I love my country hence couldn’t care less what people say and would never abuse them for saying anything negative about it – say what you want, as I know the truth.

How is in anyway your behaviour and abuse different to others on this site?

that you are 100% wrong! It's NOT the "WHOLE" middle east as you are claiming.

The system in the middle east countries like Sudan, Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Turkey, Iran....etc, is totally different than the GCC.

This is why this statement is B.S:

"not only in Qatar but in whole middle east"

If you really want me to reply you then the answer will be very tough....... I cant go to your level and I can not cross my limits.

Any how it tells me how much manners you have. I am pasting it again for your reference "SOME very good taboo points which are 100% true not only in Qatar but in whole middle east".

I hope you will get it this time. Learn to accept your mistakes, that is the only way you can correct them.

Sorry but non of the points mentiond by the Grand_Piano is "taboo". You should have the intelligence to realize that.

Secondly, you don't need to start lying about the "whole middle east". The system in countries like Sudan, Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Turkey, Iran....etc, is totally different than the GCC.

Understand...."intelligent"?

You should use your eyes, not your a55, to read:

"not only in Qatar but in whole middle east"

Where is the "SOME"?

Once you mentioned the word "whole/hole", I knew that you were using your a55 to think & read

I also dont get how the thread is hateful, and I do think it was meant for all nationalities. As I have been told, dont judge the whole by just one bad apple.

After reading your post I thought you are still sleeping. Wake up dear its late now. If you have read my post corretly or say with open eyes then you would have noticed a word "SOME".

I dont know that you are a color blind and a facts blind too. That is your problem. You try to runaway from the problem instead of fixing it.

Why you take this thread as a hateful thread. Talking about Taboo should not be a hateful thing.

Why people have a huge problem to listen to the facts. If you guys feel so bad about the Taboo things you do then plz dont do it. Else if you dont want anyone to talk then why dont you stop doing it or change it.

Well you raised some very good taboo points which are 100% true not only in Qatar but in whole middle east.

The people who are here trying to tell me that discussing a topic like taboo is not good coz they feel shame of what they do or they know that can not fix things they do.

I really liked your comments Grand_Italo. Keep the good work going.

Regards,

well said......for once, we should all stop making generalized conclusions/judgments on everything...

..., please don't think ALL Europeans, Brits, Westerner's as a whole think this way, as we also don't think all other nationalities conform to a neat little box of pre-set ideas & ideologies.

"opening a bank account / buying a car / getting your family and children in here ( to stay not only visit )/ going in vacation ... very simple actions need the sponsor permission .!!! even for me !! ( i'm European )"

if you believe that the above should not be valid for Europeans, then which nationalities do you suggest? Do you prefer that they should implement racist western ideas (like yours) when they follow the rules of the country?

None of the points you have highlighted, are considered "Taboo"...they are simply: Babu

AND LADIES AND GENTLEMEN ANOTHER HATEFUL THREAD....

WHAT A SURPRISE?

if anyone will speak about what happens in Qatar, have the decency to speak about EXPATS because they do live in Qatar as well .....

And what an earth do you mean by "even for me !! ( i'm European )"???

You're asking for trouble saying things like that.

what where when??????????????

Grand_Italo - you haven't quite grasped the meaning of taboo. It's got nothing to do with needing a sponsors permission for something

lol, this taboo thread is really getting way, way, way too far... taboo is taboo,....

Not negative at all are we Grand_Italo...??!!

i think there is a lot of slavery in here, but for Qatari it is not...!!! it is Taboo wherever you go in the world, Mr Orrrryy please well note i am not saying it is only in Qatar, but the fact is a lot of people in the gulf countries consider it normalthing ?!!!

opening a bank account / buying a car / getting your family and children in here ( to stay not only visit )/ going in vacation ... very simple actions need the sponsor permission .!!! even for me !! ( i'm European )what the [mind your language or you'll be banned] you should care about your sponsor if you want to buy a car ???!!!! this is extream taboo

when i see, i think you too, a Qatari family eating in a mall, and the maid is just looking to them i have this feeling to vomit over them, this is taboo

Holding hands in the street is taboo

when i see Qatari acting in arrogancy and not respecting others ( specially in malls ) i think this is taboo

people will say now, love it or leave it, well, i am leaving it very soon, but i am saying this for people coming " everything in Qatar is Taboo. "

Ok, homosexuality is taboo in Qatar... do we really want to get into that? Taboo is called taboo for a reason Intelligent, no one wants to cross those lines here and in the sake of "good foruming" hurts someones feelings.

Get it now? It is not closed minds, it is people being conscience of the people on the forum.

Is that to be ingested or imbibed?

Why you take it as an insult to Qatar. Why are you so narrow minded person. Strange to know such people are also using QL. If you dont want to be a part of the discussion then keep away.

If you are really sick go check with some veterinarian/Psychologist. LOLzzz........

things that are taboo are things you dont talk about openly, hence speaking about it is taboo in itself...

Why I am feeling that talking about Taboo is such a Taboo subject itself......

Do any one like to tell me what I am missing from the word Taboo or what exactly do they mean by the word Taboo.

Torque 8-)

If you are looking for behavior advice in Qatar there is a book on proper behaviors for expats. Things like dont point the soles of your foot towards someone, dont shake womens hands and what not. You can find it in Jarir. If you are looking for anything other than that it may not be proper to discuss it on a forum.

Taboo is taboo, shhhhhhh :)

Taboo in Qatar, what is it in your back home?????

If one person done something wrong that is not right to applied on all.... do you know the difference between Qataris and other Arabs nationals are wearing what we wear. This is a serious issue to insult QATAR. If you thing that is true and you do not like it, please I will be happy to buy you a one way ticket to your distention I am sick of people like you and I am sure that you will never show your face.... Relax

Yes I totally agree with you.

Even I was brought up in Qatar. I know what is taboo in Qatar but I wont tell u.

I dream of a better tomorrow where Chickens can cross the Road without having their motives questioned - Unknown

Perhaps he is asking so he knows what to avoid?

lol Torque...

well, if you ask me, you're just soliciting for opinions, so i gave mine... no reason to get all fired up...

....kindly answer your own point for those of us that were not born & brought up in Qatar, then you might find there is intelligent & interested feedback about the subject you so clearly want to here about?!

You would seem to have become a contender in the QL Wooden Spoon contest BTW....ref Oryx & amnesia!!

Torque 8-)

Thanks for pointing one............

So here is the list from Qler's till now:

SLAVERY

RACISM

Who said any thing about strict country. I did not know that its strict here pal. I was talking about taboo....

RIGHT.........................

Why dont you be the first one. I will be happy to follow you........

Cheers........

Taboo is this hot club in Sandton, Joburg!!!

-------------------------------------------------

stop whining about taboos if you dont like strict country go home they dont need you here you need them.....RIGHT???

QL should start creating 'titles'. I wonder who'd be under shyt stirrers?

why don't ya say "mostly tabooed"?

and your words, just answer the question, most tabost?

"dgoodrebel will always be the rebellious good one"

now, can you explain to me most tabost?

"dgoodrebel will always be the rebellious good one"

I believe the correct spellings are "mighty" bro not "migty". First time to hear "migty" also.

Go check it up, if you still dont find "tabost" let me know to help you.

Forsure solomon was mighty but why are you so ....... LOLzzz......

I wanted to know from others what is there opinion and experiences. Is that wrong to do in QL....

I am out of my abode and thats why I have posted but I think you are still in dear. If you cant get out then go get some professional help. LOLzzz....

Cheer up........

is there such a word as tabost? Please, Mr. Intelligent, first time to hear it......

"dgoodrebel will always be the rebellious good one"

Then why ask? You don't go out of your abode and see it for yourself?

Maybe you could inform us...so WE may be AWARE of it. Coz either your post may either get THREAD/TOPIC -jacked of other posters would be telling you up. AND THAT would start another bashing of whatever-kind...

Read my last post........

What I can understand from your post is that you see things negatively. Like I said there are things taboo every where. If you would have travel more then me than you should have known.

Anyhow I specified Qatar coz I was born and raised here. Start think positively.

A quote for you Oryx... "BETTER LATE THEN NEVER".........

If you don't like the system, then go out and find another better one

lol... i haven't seen that one about the 'cooking'....

Torque 8-)

all threads here go on and on and on and on until forever, no matter what the topic is... although lately, it's depressing to see so much sad and unbearable subjects being discussed.. :(

There are no taboos, intelligent. Even you can post here.

..., hardly an intelligent question!!

Although I have a feeling it's a thread that will run & run, despite the questionable intent behind it's posting...

Concentrate on positives, not negatives!

racism.. definitely taboo..

Questions like this...

I am not daft and probably have been to many more places than you

I just dont like this proliferation of anti-Qatari posts...

If you were interested in Taboos you would post...

'what is taboo' in your society but you didn't you specified Qatar...so dont twist it.

Taboo things are in all societies. So chill out... and accept the facts.
