If only people can stop thinking of Qatar / Qataris to be as they would like it/them to be else it/they qualify(ies) for ridicule, I think lot of rudeness can be avoided. Need to appreciate that this like any other country has its own identity, culture, strengths, perceived weaknesses which cannot be the same as in the countries we come from and if they want it to be like that, that should not be an issue to us.

And I suppose all of us who log in on QL and participate on forums regularly are atleast well educated and qualified to understand how, what we write, would be perceived... a little care and consideration would avoid lot of ill will. I personally feel very uncomfortable even to read such posts which are filled with hatred, foul language, etc.

Just wish 2010 would bring some sanity and good will among us all and we can live upto the purpose of this site (a fantastic site I should say)...Everything about Living in Qatar... and can live amicably.
