Theres somthing I'm not understanding on QL?
By Cookie Monster •
One of the great things in Qatar is the mix of races and culture ,An assuption I made when finding this forum was it seemed a fantastic place to chat to some this mix.
But one of the things I have found odd when scanning throught the groups is most seem to be a group set up to meet people from the country you came from in the first place.
Maybe I'm missing somthing and As I'm in the minority here I know that I must be odd for thinking it lol. But does anyone else find this an odd side of human nature?
That is all :)
Cookie Monster said Ok rules is rules Which i ...
Ok rules is rules Which i read and I assume it protects against Spam bots and the crazys.
I will try again though :)"
There are real life crazys, that's why the group managers screen newbies. Some newbies (and old trolls) complain but it's for the protection of members. We had trouble before. Screening is similar for most of the groups here. There many cross border mixes and we learn a lot from each other. It's fun!

Nope WK, I don't have a chance to become an attention seeker. Too much competition :P
Flan, I'll have 1 drink with most anyone, more than that if good coversation or common ground warrants it.
is also a good move...

Yea i know what you mean folks.
Birds of a feather stick together................
CM being around people of the same background gives a sense of security to some people and I do agree that everyone here has a preconceived notion about other nationalities and this town is full of racists.
By labelling someone Attention seeker in every comment through the day, deepb are you trying to seek attention ;)
just be cool n learn to ignore wise cracks u will be OK

Yes, slowly 1 point by 1, you will become another QL attention seeker :P
Hmmmmmmmm post count (spending hours in doors on a computer) equals = Your a normal person lol
That makes sense!!
Anyway I'm losing my origional point here, and the conclusion I get from the responses is - Its not right, but it seems to be the way of things :(
Cool, I suppose I just up'd my mafia status one more point lol:)
Yes, points on QL = status in the QL Mafia ;) Darude is the godfather :P
Ok rules is rules Which i read and I assume it protects against Spam bots and the crazys.
I will try again though :)

Very interesting, I've not encountered it myself, but will view comments in here with that in mind.
Most of the people are narrow-minded and have set pre-conceived notions in their head about how a person from a certain nationality behaves. And oddly enough, you'll find a very high concentration of racists in this region. They are not racist by limited exposure; they are racist by choice.
Join this group and you will change your opinion

When people are living far from home they like to find things and talk to people that make them feel comfortable.

It's normal and expected behaviour, not odd.
Excellent observation CM but that is a sad truth here. Every nationality wants to stick around their own folks. But offcourse there are lot forums where inter cultural interactions happen on a daily basis. Please feel free to scan and join any one of them.
