Truth About Bahraini/M.E. High Rollers

[AUDIHenry]

A lot of people see people from the emirates with flashy autos, high spending-types who wouldn't mind throwing a few hundred thousand on a whim. Some will say they are good at business, but like the majority of Russians and others, it is all misappropriated (read: stolen) wealth.

Look at this PDF and think about where their money really comes from.

No different to any other Nation/Country.

The person who put the PDF file together obviously is not from the "right family" and has a huge axe to grind.

I forgot to note that the people there apparently are denied access (or something like that) so as not to know how the richest live, which is at the expense of all the poor people.

TBH I'm happier with that than I am with the spending of British 'sheep' funding the lavish lifestyles of Jordan, Catona (sp?), Beckhams et al......

I don't understand the point of your post? Is it rich people have more freedom and space than the poor?

If that is the case, surely the rest of the world is the same.

Who wasted their time making that crappy pdf?

You see some of those houses? Damn I wish I was that rich.

I am currently sat next to a guy who has just come over from Saudi Arabia for some work experience over here. He is doing exactly the same job as me, same age (24) but has a 1yr old Hummer H3 sat on the drive at home.

He is trying to convince me to transfer out to Saudi Arabia.

[Aiten]

I'm confused? They make their money, spread it out across family members, and then spend it on lavish property and cars in our country?
Oh, what a shame. Let us ban them from spending money in the UK. We must not let external wealth enter our economy.

[toppstuff]

And the point of the OP is what precisely?

Nothing new here. We all know that the middle East is scarcely evolved from a feudal system, that the democracy in many countries such as Russia is a sham, and that corruption is endemic across Asia.

It is what it is. And given time it will change, as all things do.

If the locals don't like it I suggest they rise up and over throw the rulers.

Either you're all idiots or you didn't read the PDF.

They misappropriate (STEAL) property, the resulting resources, and make their money at the cost of the poor people. These people are MEMBERS OF THE "ROYAL" FAMILY who abuse their power and get $$$.

If you think they're making an honest buck then you need to get your head out of the sand...

And how is an H3 a measure of wealth? If you had said S65 I may have said something!

You really know how to endear yourself to people

Bad day already at this time of the morning?

Owning a Hummer is only a measure of how small your pee pee is.
