That place is definately not all its cracked up to be. I befriended a kid who moved to my school from there. He told me about how child prostitution is verylegal and very abundant.
The gap between the wealthy and the poor is very defined over there.

Exactly.
Of course the UAE participates in torture, especially knowing the kind of regime that is put in place in that country.
So does the American government and the biggest superpowers in the world. The world violators of nature and human rights never go to jail. They hold the keysto it.

The way that so many people, including many on NT, were awed into thinking Dubai was a paradise because it had some flashy buildings and cars, was prettyclear proof of how oblivious, uncritical and inclined towards a herd mentality so many people can be.
If you are a car or architecture buff and was awed my the cars and buildings in Dubai that is one thing. What I found funny, sad and at time bewildering is howso many Dubai fan boys acted in other contexts. Some of the same people, who tell others to "open their eyes" and embrace the see whatever conspiracytheory they were presenting no matter how scant the evidence, said that living in Dubai would be great and could not see past the buildings to know that thosebuildings are in a repressive emirate on the coast of an almost equatorial Desert. Everyone on NT knows about slavery that existed in the United States butdamn near no one said anything about slavery that exists their at this moment, if Jefferson Davis had pushed a Lambo or a couple of Bentleys maybe that"peculiar institution" would still be thriving and more or less sanctioned in our country.
Dubai is almost a steel on concrete embodiment of a widely held and usually unfounded Western prejudice, the belief that no matter how much money and luxurynon Westerns can amass, they have no core values or virtues. The Orient (which in Ancient times meant places that were Eat or South of Greek speaking placesand in Medieval Times meant places beyond Christian Europe) was often times seen as a place which did not value freedom, human life, the intrinsic dignity ofman, individualism, rational inquiry, frugality or industry and therefore the people who lived beyond the frontiers Western Civilization were ultimately"picturesque Barbarians."
For most of history most people and societies within Islam (often times the definition of Orient included any place where most people are Muslim, so therefore,much of Africa is included in that definition), South Asia and East Asia, that stereotype is untrue. In the case of Dubai's elites, they conform to some ofthe worst stereotypes about Arabs and about people who are not from the West.
Cliffs: Dubai is run by an autocracy and the city's new found fame and its outward appearnce of great wealth are literally and figuratively built on sand.Yet, so many clever and wannabe intellectuals on NT and in our society, in general, thought it was a utopia because of some flashy cars and buildings thatbelonged to a few elites in that city.
