Dubai's culture is so openly shallow and materialistic
Dubai's culture is so openly shallow and materialistic, and its social structure is so patently corrupt-its once-vaunted development and luxury are so directly built on the backs of slaves and oppressed people-that I must confess, I think it's the only place in the world that I think less of people for living in. China, Israel-of all the places whose governments I disapprove of,[url=http://rogerviviershoes.webmium.com/][b]sell 2013 discount Roger Vivier shoes outlet Roger Vivier on sale Roger Vivier shop[/b][/url], I would never morally judge someone simply for moving to that state or living in that city. But when I meet people, personally or in my business, who live in Dubai, I really do immediately think less of them as people. I am worse inclined to them; I find myself thinking it a moral failure to participate in the waste and vanity that that city produces. Don't you?-----endtime 964 days ago | link
Do you not realize that you live in a country where slavery exists? Do you not find the expat culture in Dubai to be vapid and vile? If not,[url=http://wheretobuyrogerviviershoes.webmium.com/][b]buy roger vivier shoes online[/b][/url], I'd be interested to hear why; everything I've read about Dubai indicates that is very much that way. Where are these vapid expats you speak of?-----sjs 964 days ago | link
It's not really all that different in North America is it? If you want to stretch the word slavery like that. We exploit people all over the world. I don't think it's fair to be that judgemental towards someone unless you cease to participate in any activities that facilitate someone somewhere being exploited,[url=http://woolrichdeutschlandarcticparka.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Online Shop[/b][/url].-----endtime 964 days ago | link
It's completely different from North America; your hand-wavy equivocation is completely unwarranted. There aren't vast legions of workers brought into the US under false pretenses,[url=http://duveticadoudoune.halod.com/][b]Femmes Doudoune[/b][/url], who then have their passports confiscated and are forced to work for several years in excruciating conditions just to "earn" their freedom,[url=http://rogerviviershoes.webmium.com/][b]discount Roger Vivier shoes outlet shop[/b][/url], simply to build a fake city designed to attract morally blind foreigners.-----notahacker 964 days ago | link
There are vast legions of workers working in conditions which are neither free nor pleasant to produce consumer goods for North American (and European) markets. They just happen to be conveniently overseas,[url=http://kevindurantnerfshoesreleasedate.blogspot.com/][b]kevin durant nerf shoes release date[/b][/url], conveniently one remove away from the multinational brands who contribute to the problem in their quest for ever-cheaper suppliers.-----kragen 964 days ago | link
That's true; the vast legions of workers brought into the US under false pretenses,[url=http://woolrichdeutschlandarcticparka.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Parka G��nstig[/b][/url], who then have their passports confiscated and are forced to work for several years in excruciating conditions just to "earn" their freedom, are there for other reasons entirely. Having known someone who worked for Al Jazeera and heard the stories that get supressed involving workers conditions it wiped the sheen right off.-----afterburner 964 days ago | link
I've read of many cases of maids being imprisoned in the households they serve,[url=http://giuseppezanottisneakerssale.webmium.com/][b]giuseppe zanotti men's sneakers for Sale[/b][/url], not paid,[url=http://kevindurantnerfshoesreleasedate.blogspot.com/][b]http://kevindurantnerfshoesreleasedate.blogspot.com/[/b][/url], and sexually assaulted by the owner of the household. This is slavery without ambiguity.-----Locke1689 964 days ago | link
The difference for me is that it's very easy to make a difference in this case: just don't go there. However,[url=http://parajumpersoutletjackets.webmium.com/][b]parajumpers vest[/b][/url], that also means that I get to make a moral choice of where I spend my money. I don't believe that spending money in Dubai enriches anyone but the exploiters.-----raheemm 964 days ago | link
