    the funny thing is that here you are, a guy who is doing his utmost to look look like a westernized counter-culture rebel type. i have nothing against that. except that you are not. in the UK or France, where I spent most of my life, a progressive counter-culture types almost always means being pro human rights, noisy protests, burning of effigies, anti-globalization, etc. But as you try to look the like a progressive reber, ear piercing and all, you have absolutely nothing in common with the real McCoy. your obsession with brand names and your lack of involvement in anti-globalization or human rights causes just cries FAKE. so why don’t you don the arabian turban and white dress because that’s all you really are. fact is, nothing seperates you from most Gulfies that I have met.

    please don’t post. this is a private note.

    Don’t publish,

    You don’t have the right to judge me and I’m not a gulfy, I lived there and I love the Gulf maybe because in Kuwait a human being worths more than one does where you live (and it is not france, I know the flag service is inaccurate).

    I posted this, I have nothing to hide. If you were a decent person, you would have exposed your identity since it is private, not hide behind your screen like a little kid, grow up.
