If you feel that way then we go back to the whole point in the first place.
OPINION. You state your opinions as fact when at the end of the day you should be clear that it's just your POINT OF VIEW.
Now if you take offence in my above comments, then there is nothing I can do about that. In fact, I find offence in your comments, because it's quite clear that you can dish out an opinion, but can't take one in return.
You find the argument weak, fine, again that is YOUR opinion, but I'm sure there will be others that disagree with you and those that are indifferent.
The first post suggests a persons opinion and gives a suggestion. There is then the explanation of what a British person thought was another British person. You want to argue that he's not 100% British. Nobody disputes that there is the possibility, as far as we know he could be a French guy acting british, but can you IMAGINE someone adding a disclaimer at the bottom of ever post and after every comment.
Let's have an example,
Hi, I'm British, a British guy came up to me and said hello!
Disclaimer, I assume he was british by my opinion, by the fact that i think I have good instinct, the fact that he had a British accent, mentioned he had a British passport, lived in England, and SAID he was British.
It should be noted that he may NOT be British, but perhaps a French guy acting British, raised in England, and given a passport later on at one point in his life.
It should be noted that he may NOT be French, but an alien that beamed down to earth to act like a French guy.
You see? A drastic or extreme example but an example none-the-less.
Now, we'll go back to the issue of driving in Qatar. Nobody is saying that driving in Qatar is a breeze. In fact, I agree that it's more difficult to drivein Qatar than in the US, however it's easier to drivein Qatar than Saudi, China, and the UK in my opinion.
Now let's enter deeper into this subject.
When I say Saudi, does it mean the whole entire country? No. Obviously not, it refers to where I've actually driven. The SAME goes for my experience in the UK.
You then say "if you can't accept that fact." Did I deny it? It's clear that I didn't. I'm saying that from my point of view, it's comparable.
I guess it's hard for people to understand that different countries have different driving styles. You'll have your own website complaining about driving in China if you don't go with the flow.
Now, Qatari traffic had an issue, traffic laws are improving that, and it is WITHOUT a DOUBT that it will continue to get better. Qatar is Qatar. America is America. Perhaps on average you will get worse drivers. Hopefully the country will do better to get ALL people who enter the country to have higher standards of driving. Now that round-abouts are slowly being removed from intersections, it'll add structure and order. Remember though, it's only around 25% of the country that's Qatari. We can't ALL be contributing to the bad road ettiquette. When I was in Dubai, the number of cars that veer into your lane is extraordinary, especially during curved roads. Did I think "WOW UAE SUCKS". No. I didn't like it. But I understood that it's just their way of driving and the country is used to it. Does it means that WE have to get used to it? Well yes. But we can try to improve the system gradually.
Finally, next time I see a British person, I'll refer to him as a British looking / sounding person if I'm not sure. Can you do the same and refer to a person as something else if you see a person wearing a thobe / speaking arabic and NOT refer to him as a Qatari or better yet an Arab? I've seen Indians wear thobes for example.
I guess you'll have to keep the answer to that question in your heart, because you said you're not going to debate further. Thanks for letting me have the last word. I'm so happy!
Oooh quick side point, I said "30 idiot drivers in the UK", I didn't say they were British. And I didn't say that I only had experience with 30 only either. I said 30 idiots in Qatar = 30 idiots in the UK. Big difference mate.
