Brass Monkey BS: The right to insult and cause offence (379* d) RE: BS: The right to insult and cause offence 28 Mar 06


CarolC, I really advise that you come over to the Gulf states and see what the censorship here is like.
I live in what is regarded as a moderate muslim country. The population here is mainly made of cheap labour, it operates a multi-tiered salary scale according to nationality. The situation of Nepali and Indian workers and some Phillipinos/Thais that are employed as housemaids is never reported. Murders and rapes happen here that are not reported, this is to promote the idea that this is the safest country in the world. The difference between rich and poor is astounding. We think that slave labour has been abolished, think again. This is a third world country with a third world veneer.

These countries are most definitely 'prejudiced'.
I don't buy the Gulf papers anymore, the stories aren't real. In fact they are quite often 'comical'.
