'Some people should just stay away from Saudi Arabia.'

| Could a www.saudiliving.com be built? I wonder if there would be any conflict from the authorities. |
I think www.saudivegetating,.com would be more appropriate.

You know, biffin, if somebody from the sub-continent made numerous posts to internet forums saying about the UK and Europe "here is nothing in the culture that I would want to export from that region", remarked on the "complete lack of responsibility on their part to accept any blame or criticism on their part for the low standard of education that exists" , and stated that "As teachers, this effects us daily as we are always to blame when chavs fail to 'produce' in the classroom." and stated that "While you may not experience individual hostility, it is there and it's usually directed at asian or Islamic culture. To ignore that is to have forgotten where you are."
... well, people might just thing of saying "Paki go home".
