I earned an outrageous quantity of money... Earning money is the reason why I work. I was informed what the customer wanted, I then distilled this to what the customer needed, designed, procured and constructed the finished product... What the customer wanted usually wasn't what the customer needed and wouldn't have performed adequately.

Whilst I was there I learned their language, lived in the community, in one city the neighbour to one side was a Local, on the other side the neighbour was Scottish. I did absorb and learn to detest their culture, once I was even guest of honour at a beheadding (They moved me forward to the front so that I could see their justice in action)

Perhaps when you move to Mecca, you too could go to watch.... Take a bag of Pork Scratchings and beer.

America has executions and people are able to watch. Recently reported ones involved the person dying in agony over an extended time period. Not sure if they have someone selling snacks and refreshments. By all accounts many police officers are saving the state money by executing black people including children on the spot, avoiding the need to a trial and possible imprisonment or execution.

My step brother witnessed a beheading in Saudi Arabia, it messed up his head, he was a teenager at the time.

Good for you. But it does make your comment about your altruistic motive dishonest. You weren't there trying to save the locals from botulism at all. You were there simply to earn money!
It is obvious now that that comment was based purely on egotistical imagination and trying to make a prejudicial point.

Again, good for you. How long have you spent in Israel to make a worthwhile comparison?

You could have politely but insistently refused. I would have done, as I suspect would most other principled people.

Not as much as the one he was watching.

I think the head was fine, but the neck would have been sore. Assuming the executioner was on target, unlike the one who killed Mary Queen of Scots.

Why?

Since the area was protected by the British until 1971, English is the primary lingua franca in the UAE. As such, a knowledge of the language is a requirement when applying for most local jobs.

[Fire and Ice]

Why?

So that I know what is being said when they are not speaking English.

That's one of the problems of using Wikipedia to convince yourself that you know things..

Why? I was learning their culture. This is what they want to bring here..

So which dialect did you learn? And as you have read the Qur'an as well, do you speak classical Arabic?

You've answered a question I didn't ask.
Just another of your comical risible absurd prejudicial comments.

 

[Himaginn]

You're just exploiting this discussion to make disparaging, prejudicial comments based on your bigoted perception of Arabs.

You just don't like it cause he's speaking from real life experience and you have to rely on google.
