[QUOTE]Originally posted by strangelookingnegro: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by ExptinCAI: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by * 7ayat *: [qb] Smuckers, I'm not offended Im FRUSTRATED that people still don't undersand that I'm not objecting about the negatives about Egypt, I'm objecting about the way they are said. Besides having lived in Egypt for 25 years I have seen so many expats who on a daily basis would insult Egypt infront of the Egyptians and see absoloutly nothing wrong with that. [/qb][/QUOTE]You're projecting your prejudices and you're stereotyping. The usernames that expressed their frustration are NOT the people you've met who offended you so stop lumping all expats into one basket. My point was that when you lived in Egypt, you were more likely to discuss your country's problems. All you're doing now is jumping and yelling and HOW-DARE-YOU-ING anyone you ASSUME is criticizing your country's problems in a way that doesn't rub you the wrong way. Venting just that. It's not a discussion. If you want to hear a discussion about Egypt's problems, read the thread about women being harassed on the streets. There are far more positive "what I miss about Egypt" threads from love-sicks western wives than venting threads about the reality of everyday life in Egypt. Nobody jumps on the the people who are nostalgic about Egypt and reminds them of all the negatives of daily lives...yet you feel it's your right do jump on the people who need to use this forum as an outlet. Maybe if you let people vent here, it'll allow them to grin and bear it with a smile in front of their egyptian friends, colleagues and loved ones! Oh, and I've had plenty of egyptians ask me about which city I'd lived in...then without any encouragement rant about how much they HATE where I'm from and why. Rude people are everywhere. PS. and I agree with another poster that the golden rule is to think of it as one criticizes one's own family but gets offended if your friend does the same....most egyptians do criticize egypt but get offended when foreigners do so. [/qb][/QUOTE]This post brings back old memories of the gang of bitches. Whatever happened to the rest of the gang anyway? :eek: [/QB][/QUOTE]
