But seriously, PM, Gypsy, Canarybird, tweetybird are the ones whose arguments see no end (looks as if you and scarlett have other plans as of lately )

I dont know what keeps them going, is it an agenda? or is it the need to spread free speech or they are very free.

I might be added up in more people's list after this but hey what the heck, Who cares.

Seriously if you want to have peace on QL, separate the two genders and you will certainly have peace on QL. There are very few female member on QL but surely they do know how to fight as hell.

As for ladies, I am wondering who is gonna take the first shot.

Your idiotic posting proves a lame person you are, you post to degrade someone. And we don’t need a call from someone to make YOU realize what pathetic arse hole YOU are!

We are guessing that you are riding someone’s popularity to get your own sugar dady? Right? Lol. No one will like you I bet.

Majority of us seen Owen and way far from what you are saying. WE haven’t seen you YET, get the logic here ugly bee? Or you don’t know what that means?

Btw, whats wrong with your way of typing? Aren’t you being taught how to talk in English or type properly? Clearly, proving uneducacated person you are (suck up to your maid). Trying to hide? You are a disgrace to your nationality luca! You and your gossiper maid! Envy and jealousy would lead you nowhere.

and Yes it is short for 'chookie birrrrrdie', cos in Scotland the lads may call the lassies 'hen'.

It's not meant as anything more than saying 'sweetheart' (depending on who's saying it, of course!) :D

She did use the term "chook" which to me is an Australian term for chicken.

You just dont no when to keeps those lips shut do you gypsy--no wonder men think all women flab their lips non-stop, have affairs as women cant shut up, and dont wont to settle down-- and your no 1 flabbergaster.

My comments on Black Princes point of view on my point of view.

1. Do not use swearing or strong language in your posts. -This one is pointless because of the filters. Also for the most part we are all adults and we should beable to use any word we want. However I think Qatari should keep the filters because of Q-Tel

BP You forgot "and as adults we should be intelligent enough to argue our points without reverting to personal insults and abuse" thats if one considers oneself an adult and starts to behave as one.

Gypsy: Are we arguing personal insults or swearing? Adults swear all the time, in jest, in anger, etc. I call myself a beeatch all the time on this forum, does this mean I'm not a adult? Do all adults have to speak perfect non-slang English?

2.Do not create topics or posts that criticise, bully or insult other Qatar Living members, and do not flame (e.g. provoke other Qatar Living member into arguments) or impersonate other people. If you wish to make a complaint against another Qatar Living member, please use the "Report Abuse" form on the Contact page. - Only agree with the if you want to report abuse do so privately through the contact page. As much as I don't like the multitude of topics that are created to bully and insult me (on what is beginning to be a daily basis) those members have every right to think what they want and post what they want about me.

BP As anyone knows who has had to do with violence, especially within the family enviroment, verbal bullying and insulting is a prelude to physical violence, it is the root of alot of violence within our world. Using the excuse that this is a Public Forum does not remove your responsibilty as a decent Human being from showing respect and tolerance. Unfortunately there is an ever growing band of people who beleive that the only responsibilty they have is to say what they think, in what ever langauge they think fits without any consideration to anybody other than there need to tell everybody what they think is right.

Gypsy - At the end of the day physical violence is the response of someone who has no leg to stand on. I do not see how someone's different point of view or a joke (even a misunderstood one) should ever be an opening for violence. This says a lot more about the unstable character of the person commiting the violence then the one with the opinion.

3. Do not respond to people who post something insulting or who are "trolling" - instead, just ignore them and they will go away. - Where's the fun in that??? I get into some of my best debates with supposed "trolls" (Where have MRs. and Port Alfred gone anyway ;)

BP The answering of such posts is of course the need to get into a fight and be able to release the frustration and hatred within ones self. After all they are only trolls and you can call them anything you like, I mean they are only stupid trolls not intelligent Human beings

Gypsy- Trolls make their post for the purpose of getting in a fight and stirring trouble, that's why Qatari says to ignore them and they will go away, fighting back is giving these intelligent human beings what they want. Usually it is the trolls who start with offensive language and personal insults first-hence the term troll.

4. Don’t post anything that could be perceived as illegal or offensive (i.e. racist, pornographic, sexist, obscene, profane, vulgar, derogatory, hateful or threatening). - If this was anywhere but Qatar I wouldn't agree with it as people have a right to post what they want, but unfortunatly it's Qatar and we do have Q-Tel to deal with.

BP This Guideline is a rule and Law in most civilized countries, thats of course countries where civilzed people live and behave in a civilzed manner.

Gypsy - Define civilized? If this site was based out of anywhere but here you could post naked men and women and any sexist or racist jokes you want. THe only time the site would be shut down is if it had child porn.

5. Stay on topic and do not hijack threads or post off-topic comments. Start a new forum topic or send a private message if you are in doubt. - To hard to enforce, people naturally fall into off topic conversations. Might as well let them have fun.

BP Hijacking is a natural thing in an open forum although one should try to avoid it, at least doing it deliberately

6. Do not bring personal disputes onto the site. If you find that your discussion is becoming too heated or someone is becoming far too passionate about their argument, please take the discussion to private message or email. - I WISH people would do this one, but alas, not for me to tell them to, and lord knows I like to make sure EVERYONE hears my point. :D

BP Just too much of that going on all the time from all sides of the spectrum

Gypsy - So?? Who does it harm?

7. If you are not interested in a topic or think someone is asking a silly question, just move onto another post instead of insulting or mocking them. - I suppose this one is just sheer politeness HOWEVER technically people could violate this one everytime the respond to one of those guys asking how to get a date. So should we really ban members for making fun of the haberdash boys looking for nookie?? I don't think so!

BP Yes it is POLITENESS

Gypsy - there are always shades of gray.

8. It is never acceptable to reveal a members real name or post their picture on Qatar Living unless they have consented. - This is the ONLY one I completely agree with. If you want to "out" yourself go ahead, but nobody has the right to do it for someone else. There's freedom of speech but then there is slander and privacy laws.

BP Agree 100%

9. Do not post chain letters, solicitations or pyramid schemes.- People do this one all the time to warn people about it or to have a laugh. See nothing wrong with posting them.

BP Agree 100%

10. Do not post messages which support or condone any illegal activities, such as drug use, piracy or warez. - Why not? Surely it's our own stupidity if we get busted for posting about drugs on an online forum. Frankly if I were Qatari I would just turn them in.

BP This is of course is again against the law in most countries and is rightly not permitted

Gypsy - depends. You can discuss drug use on most websites with no reprecutions. In the end it's all up to Qatari to report it.

11. Do not post anything that could be considered libelous or defamatory. - Way to gray. What constitutes libel and defamation? Technically under the laws of most countries nothing posted about a person on a public web forum can be considered a valid enough source to be libelous or defamatory.

BP Your remark is legally not correct, if a libelous or defamatory remark can be traced 100% to an individual it is admissable in a court of law, whether in a Public domain or not.......certain cases in recent years have unlined this point. Libel is libel, you just need to prove who wrote it.......as simple as that. One cannot hide behind a avatar and false name anymore.

Gypsy- To libel and defame someone, at least in Canada, it must be printed and aired by a credible sourse (which an online social networking site, no matter how big, is NOT considered to be) and you must have proof that it had an adverse effect on your life.

12.Please don’t post any copyright material to Qatar Living - Can't you just site your source?

BP Should site your sourse 100%

13. If you wish to advertise your website or business please you can do so by visiting this page. Do NOT post such adverts to the Forum or Classifieds. - Qatari's just trying to earn advertising dollars here ;) (kidding Qatari).

BP Agree 100% thats why there a advertising section

Finally, think before you post! You are responsible for what you post so before you hit enter, ask yourself if this is something you would say to someone in real life. - Everything I say is something I would say to someone in real life. :) So I guess I can post anything...Oh wait, already do. :D

BP No comment here..........this is just common sense

This is what you call it peace and otherside you are the one try to destroy the peace in QL ??

http://www.qatarliving.com/node/55830

You are the one provoking peace and talking about peace !

Someone looking for a job for her husband and she came to QL to seek help, and i requested her to send me his cv so I sent to her my email address and told her in the post to check her PM !

This is a simple example how the heated argument/ flight starts due to negative reply of a member and GOD knows where it ended up !!!

In my opinion, the best purpose of QL is:

---Exchanging useful information about Qatar

---Fun

---Making friends

So, if we keep ourselves restricted to these objectives, no one will lose peace of mind.

But if people would keep on attacking personal things, nationalities and religions....this site will also become a garbage box ...just like other millions sites for same kind on the internet.

Please promote PEACE, and don’t become a part of anyone’s personal WAR.

Gypsy, I remember you lone stand against the Guidelines at that time we were voting for it and I respected it and still respect your position.

I recall the guidelines were created by the Admins after the clamor from most subscribers for some order and some sense at a time there was chaos in QL. And for a time peace reigned in QL land.....

I think the Admins (Qatari and Ahmed) have been pretty much upholding freedom of speech and have very sparringly used their Admin prerogative to delete, close or edit posts and threads. Unfortunately, recently most of the guidelines have now been ignored or forgotten or not known not only by newbies but also by regular posters (such as me - mea culpa).

But one thing we all should not forget regarding those guidelines is the last statement: Think before you post!

Oh just to clarify, At the end of the day this is Qatari's site. And as the owner and administrator he has EVERY right to ban or delete anything he wants. If he wants to make so the only thing you can post on this site is the letter A then he has the right to do it (boring as it would be). So the only person on this site who should be telling people what to say or what not to say is Qatari...and Ahmed (sorry for forgetting you Ahmed).

Regarding the insult/peronsal abuse, I think its best if people just stop reponding as all it does is stir certain people up. It's like the more ammunition you give them, the more they throw it back in your face and it gets nastier and nastier. I know its hard to ignore at times, but just start talking about a new topic/ like whos got the biggest breats in QL ;) and give them the silent treatment.

As much as I don't like the multitude of topics that are created to bully and insult me (on what is beginning to be a daily basis) those members have every right to think what they want and post what they want about me.

3. Do not respond to people who post something insulting or who are "trolling" - instead, just ignore them and they will go away. - Where's the fun in that??? I get into some of my best debates with supposed "trolls" (Where have MRs. and Port Alfred gone anyway ;)

4. Don’t post anything that could be perceived as illegal or offensive (i.e. racist, pornographic, sexist, obscene, profane, vulgar, derogatory, hateful or threatening). - If this was anywhere but Qatar I wouldn't agree with it as people have a right to post what they want, but unfortunatly it's Qatar and we do have Q-Tel to deal with.

5. Stay on topic and do not hijack threads or post off-topic comments. Start a new forum topic or send a private message if you are in doubt. - To hard to enforce, people naturally fall into off topic conversations. Might as well let them have fun.

6. Do not bring personal disputes onto the site. If you find that your discussion is becoming too heated or someone is becoming far too passionate about their argument, please take the discussion to private message or email. - I WISH people would do this one, but alas, not for me to tell them to, and lord knows I like to make sure EVERYONE hears my point. :D

7. If you are not interested in a topic or think someone is asking a silly question, just move onto another post instead of insulting or mocking them. - I suppose this one is just sheer politeness HOWEVER technically people could violate this one everytime the respond to one of those guys asking how to get a date. So should we really ban members for making fun of the haberdash boys looking for nookie?? I don't think so!

8. It is never acceptable to reveal a members real name or post their picture on Qatar Living unless they have consented. - This is the ONLY one I completely agree with. If you want to "out" yourself go ahead, but nobody has the right to do it for someone else. There's freedom of speech but then there is slander and privacy laws.

9. Do not post chain letters, solicitations or pyramid schemes.- People do this one all the time to warn people about it or to have a laugh. See nothing wrong with posting them.

10. Do not post messages which support or condone any illegal activities, such as drug use, piracy or warez. - Why not? Surely it's our own stupidity if we get busted for posting about drugs on an online forum. Frankly if I were Qatari I would just turn them in.

11. Do not post anything that could be considered libelous or defamatory. - Way to gray. What constitutes libel and defamation? Technically under the laws of most countries nothing posted about a person on a public web forum can be considered a valid enough source to be libelous or defamatory.

12.Please don’t post any copyright material to Qatar Living - Can't you just site your source?

13. If you wish to advertise your website or business please you can do so by visiting this page. Do NOT post such adverts to the Forum or Classifieds. - Qatari's just trying to earn advertising dollars here ;) (kidding Qatari).

Finally, think before you post! You are responsible for what you post so before you hit enter, ask yourself if this is something you would say to someone in real life. - Everything I say is something I would say to someone in real life. :) So I guess I can post anything...Oh wait, already do. :D

Christmas will be time of peace. Thats the time when I will put my drawn sword back into its sheath and me and my neigbor will call it a day.

Thats the day when I will send greetings to him and celebrate the occasion with him as long as he serves me free wine. :)

Ah Baj get's annoyed about everything :P (Kidding Baj *kiss kiss*). Frankly I don't mind this at all, if it was any quieter people would complain that it was boring. I've been on this site for almost 2 years now, and the fact of the matter is that it's no longer (and really never was) an information site, it's a social networking site and that means people with different points of view coming to discuss different things. If we all agreed with each other the sight would die out because (like others that have started up during this time period)we would have nothing to talk about. I personally praise Qatari for creating a forum where I can voice my opinions and others can voice theres and I can discuss these issues that are on my mind (whether some people like that or not).

Hummer to be honest Gyspys remark "Unfortunatly that period doesn't last long, and it's either non-stop fights or...nothing....." says it all but she did forget the insults, abuse that go with the non-stop fights. When I first joined it was in the micddle of a cat fight which was sometimes quite funny. Over the weeks it seems that the opposing sides in QL ( and they exist and are oblivious) have taken over and even what starts out as an interesting thread gets turned into personal abuse within the first relpy page. This of course reflects our world today, the opposing fractions in what ever sphere, whether religious, political etc are getting further apart and there dislike of each other is getting stronger.

We cannot ignore what is happening all over the world and it is reflected in QL as this is a melting pot of the world with all its different colours.

You see even the honking at the shop got beja. annoyed although the comments did originate because of the new law.

Again I see many others honking who are not Qataris - law is law.

I was out for dinner last Thursdya evening and went home about two still outside the grocery there were the young boys honking.

So law or no law opinion or no opinion things will remain the same.

We can discuss it but it will not change because we discuss - and this is what I mean it is only a discussion and peopel express their own personal point of view.
