What is going on?
It is a very interesting Question as i think, and a lot of us needs an answer, Guess what, You will never had an answer.
Qatarliving,,, when i arrived here (Almost 4 months ago), I was looking for an accommodation and by chance/mistake i found www.Qatarliving.com,,, it was really helpful, i found an apartment in 2 days !!
So after that, it became my reference website to Qatar, then i dived much deeper to find the Forums, i saw what i thought "discussion", i liked it, people from everywhere talking about things/news/activities, which is interesting, as i really like the diversity, which is not available back there in Jordan.
The Question is, are we really discussing things, or every one of us believes that he/she is the right one?
Are we looking for knowledge, or we just want to share our own point of view( wither it is right or wrong)?
Do we read/listen/analyze or the words are passing form an ear to another?
I think part of that is normal, I can't agree with all of you, but no need to call you a "Freak", i just want to have a place here, a relaxing place, i really want to learn more, i don't wanna know how racist you are, i wanna know how open minded are you, can you convene me in a civilized way.
Some believe there is one God, others believe in three and somebody don't believe that there is a God, are we here to Judge each other?,, No
I like lemon you like orange and he likes watermelon, who gives a sh!t?
I am from Asia you from Europe he is from North America, we are all human, aren't we?
Why not to let it go and just have good place to discuss issues, tell me why you think am wrong, but no need to tell me that i am "Stupid" Just because we have a different way of thinking.
Finally,,, Before you talk look in the mirror, and treat the others like you want to be treated.
Now you can say that i am moaning or you can say that i am the drama man, i will handle it,, It just prove what i said before,,,, we are different,,, but isn't that nice and interesting ?
Have a good day
Landlover, well said ! :)
Woww :) thatz nice..
No nommy it is not hijack.. I talked about grapes with a purpose. Grapes are our similarities and bacons are differences. When you talk about bacon I just keep quite but accept you eating it and enjoy watching you having nice time.
When we talk about grapes I just join you as we never had a difference.
In Human Beings there are more similarities than differences so why not we all ignore them what we dont like and be happy with the similarities we have. :)
This was the point. :)
Tien Shan It wasn't all about who said that, it was about everything ,, anyway thanks :)
Sky Lily ,,, Did you say "Baby" ,, that was nice in the early morning :)

Brit ,, Good morning :O)
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhh :O(
Hello Sulieman, wats bothering you my friend ?
Cheer up man, you think no one here knows wat you have written all up there ? Then Wake Up my one legged Kangaroo friend ! :)
Everyone knows wats right and wats wrong.
Still we have bad apples here....so relax, and enjoy the beauty of this fantastic site and get as much as information you can and share too.
Very Morning to you and dear Qlers.
Hi suleiman! cheer up baby! come and fly with me to Paris, these people will suck up ur sweetness and turn it to bitterness..
Tein I'm not the egotistical, selfish one as I don't need someone to pray to me. The insecure one is god
Mr.Suleiman..
Those kind of people who replies WHY DO GOD NEED A MONEY? to the simple question like WHERE IS THE LOCATION? makes you put your thoughts into the paper,i understand that..
They are ignorant,selfish and ego-minded..
it spoils the freedom of speech and forum society..
As saying states: Caravan goes on while dog continue barking..
NM ,,, Your little words said much ,, thanks
Marco ,, Good conclusion indeed
patiencew ,, Thanks for you kind comment
And i agree some thinks "Ignorance is a bless" but would be nice if the knew that they are ignorant and kept silent :)
Cheers all,,,,
Sulie my dear, how beautiful you are indeed. But you must understand that some people really believe that ignorance is bliss. SHAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I guess the whole point behind this thread is learn when to Agree to Disagree, which in it self a very rare quality in this day and time.
however, problems start when users start to wanna control the other person and get them to take sides in order to feel secure about themselves.
moral of the thread: people may disagree on some decisions AND they are okay with letting the argument go.
Hello dear landlover...just bought some Red Flame Grapes from Lulu...fresh in ! Very tasty !
sorry for the hijack !
Good to see you nommy.. :) I was thinking about you as I bought some tasty grapes. :))
A few years back, if I would hear of humanitarian crisis like in Iraq or Syria, my heart would go out to the people who were suffering, but after meeting certain people around here, my outlook towards certain species of human being has become little less forgiving.....
Arguing with somebody who is convinced of his being right is useless waste of energy.
Simply accept the person as is. It does not mean you have to believe him/her.
FathimaH ,, Well Said
Can't agree more
By an Islamic scholar of years ago "Any evil doer can think he is a good person,the ignorant can think himself a scholar,the greedy thinks of himself as generous, the stupid thinks he is intelligent. Life is short and hopes are unlimited, yet many are two dazzled with themselves to see a clear picture for advancement"
Pretty much sums up the reasons for a much disputes and feuds we encounter and even find ourselves entwined in both on and off QL.
QL much like rest of the world, is made up of all sorts, the good the bad and the beyond! We just need to arm ourselves with much patience and tolerance, and know that our judgement of others may well be wrong based as it is on our own fallibility.
.sun ,,, If we expected to hear "Yes, You are right" whenever we say something we will be completely disappointed.
If everybody talks in the things that he know and understand, we will be all safe, and the world will be better.
It needs one crazy human to throw a stone in the well, and a million sane to take it out. :)
Yup ,,, You have to show your evidences and proves and the other side should do the same and again in a polite way.
You talk i listen ,, i talk you listen ,, this is the right way to have a result.
No Shouting no cursing not personal bullsh!ts
We might not agree but that doesn't make us enemies.
That's all
Dear brother Sullieman, the politics of this whole world runs on the basis of putting people down and projecting one's own self (and likes of one's own self) as the best & most deserving of the world's resources. A few honest people like you & me crying for equality, justice and brotherhood are counted as fools. There are some idiots here ( and for that matter anywhere in the world) who believe that we are crying foul because we are at the disadvantaged end of this system. So kick their a*ses, and let them live the life of dogs (what they actually are) You can't talk sense into them.
Yes for the question where is the Quran Centre "Do God Need Money" is not the challenge.
Suli lets take one example. Some people of faith denies that evolution exists and that god created the world. (In 6 days according to some). When that is posted on an open forum it needs to be challenged.
"when they start putting their beliefs on a public forum then they should expect to be challenged"
Yes,, but why the word "challenged" isn't it a bit "gross".
I've never said that things can't be discussed, but there is a difference between someone asking to know and the other who is talking to talk and argue, like saying am right and you are all idiots and wrong. Right?
Respect from the both sides will let you have the most interesting discussion ever !
So, i agree with you, you come up with thing,, follow the risks
Without social ethics and proper language even a genuine challenge looks stupid , rude and offensive.
MODS, this is getting serious again... Please do something!
Suli I agree we should accept others, and if people want to believe in the bible or the Koran then that is their business, but when they start putting their beliefs on a public forum then they should expect to be challenged. I don't run into a mosque shouting you are all wrong because it is their business but I have to challenge the falsehoods they put on QL.
Rip,, We have to accept everybody first, then start yelling for freedoms and call overselves Liberal,, or larg-minded or whatever.
For example ,,, If i am non Muslim and i saw something about Qura'an ,, I should respect that,, if i don't wanna respect at least no need to humiliate it or say any offensive word about it.
The same as the bible for Christian ,, and so on
Yes "explain that to other in a civilized polite way " is a limit itself.
Stupidity is not a challenge. Comparison of east west Asians with others, arabs and others...it is not racism it is freedom of speech.. There are two things which cannot be attacked in front: ignorance and narrow-mindedness. “People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.”
Suli: couldn't agree more! discussions are not dog fights.
LLR ,,, There is no limitation ,, as long as it is not humiliating you personally or your family, if you saw something wrong you should explain that to the others in a civilized polite way ,, that's all :)
MN.. A game is played with mutual agreement following certain rules.. if someone from outside kicks your ball it is of course rude and offensive. :)
The forum is a delightful mix of west and east, which sometimes exposes the dark underbelly of humanity. It shows up those that want to enforce their beliefs and ideas through a legal system if necessary but they all also the first to oppose different views and opinions and try to shut them down.
LLR: not exactly
look at it this way, you played your part and sent your message across, now its time to let others do the same thing.
This forum is pretty vanilla compared to the one I was before. Full of nerd rage, drama and cupcakes. It was wonderful!
It died the day they imposed bot mods in the forums.
words can't hurt us if we choose not to get hurt. unfortunately i'm yet to learn that game.
Liberty has his own limits...people without morality dont understand it... leave the discussion is kinda same like leave saudi, leave qatar, leave Iran.. leave Gulf.. leave the world itself. :)
Amen to that
Rip Cord: "I may challenge it but mere words cannot hurt me" -- I adore u for that.
LLR I'm happy with what anyone writes, I may challenge it but mere words cannot hurt me.
LLR: it's a free world and people have the right to ask whatever questions they like and if one can't handle the game then they should leave the discussion. easy breezy.
Im still thinking!
MN opinions has its own meaning and beauty.. 'why God need money' is not the opinion for a question about where is this place located.
In my humble opinion, QL represents a healthy example of the differences among the different people of Qatar, and their individual opinions/experiences.
Nothing wrong with that.
MN, I know what you're talking about. ;) so sleep now lil' bro.
This makes it more obvious. :)
Rip ,, here we go,, You red all our comments and you liked MK's comment ,, Ha ha ha
Greek: grrrrrrrrr! lol the story of my life here in Doha!
NR: couldn't agree more!
Ha ha MK, some other users have different views to your own and you want the mods to delete them. How very intolerant of you.
QL reflects the mix of people that live in Qatar. Hence the very different views of some
Thanks for the good response.
All of you
In fact, it easy to close your eyes and keep going.
but I am just pointing a problem,, I don't know if it is gonna be solved or not, but we should care a bit, we might have a good results.
"Plant the seed and wait for the harvest"
But what bother me the most are
"Hypocrisy", "Ignorance" and "Generalizing"
MN01, habibi. Your lucky coz u don't have work during Saturday. Yalla take a nap coz you're going to fetch Mom later.
Regular QLers visit this forum to kill time and feel good gossiping with their virtual acquaintances/friends. Except for the QL community rules, they aren't bound by any other guidelines. I guess it is the same as a coffee-shop in which friends would sit and chat on their favourite subjects or current issues. And we do find there sweet talks, intellectual debates, discussions, arguments or even people threatening each other.
This is one virtual coffee-shop and I wouldnt expect anything different.
Well, people have different ideas. Just take it easy Bro. Before I am like that, up until my other account get blocked. Lol! I adopt and didn't pay attention for their negative comments and ideas.
greek: Yup, it's called life. and it's full of **** :P if u know what i mean!
I think you have hit the nail on the head. Too many people here with over inflated egos who just push their own agendas and viewpoints. Anyone disagreeing is considered either a moron or not in touch with society.
Sadly, such is true for many forums.. so we live with it..
this is the major difference between discussing and arguing.
1-In an argument there is a tone of anger and displeasure. 2-This tone is not present in a discussion
MK ,, You will start a new war now.
Please
No Provocative words please
I would agree with you suleiman lot of different minds playing in QL trying to force there own theories and always been blocked by our generous Mods
Finally you burst out... what to do yanni.. If I am the owner of this site I would have blocked the forum section itself.. it is not only QL almost the whole social media has been raped from last few years for all such thing you have mentioned earlier..
