More reasons never to go to Dubai.

I don’t give a good goddamn if it is the Disneyland of the Middle East. That place is severely fricked.


Especially if you’re a woman.

Interesting take. I never went to jail there. Simply not breaking the law wherever you are usually prevents jail time.


Except, this woman wasn’t even in the country when the alleged “illegal act” took place.

You’re saying “just know the law”. OK, so knowing this law, is any prospective visitor supposed to scan through the entirety of his online history to ensure he hasn’t said something mean to someone else?

Glad it’s working out for you there. But I’ll pass on going to and living in a places run by theocratic monarchs who favor laws from the dark ages.

Oh, you think I'm there now?

It is your right to isolate yourself and limit your exposure to other cultures and places. I won't try to sway you.

LOL. I do just fine travel-wise. There are plenty of places in the world to go that aren’t regressive and backwards. Thanks for your concern.

I've been to plenty of those, as well.

But don't mistake my words for concern.

Hell no. He’ll take my Sonic invite and show it to his connections in Dubai and have them hunt me down.

She is grown. She knew the law there.



Doubtful that a person that grew up in a western society knew that making fun of someone over social media several years back would land them in jail when visiting a foreign country for a funeral. It is their house / their rules but not realistic to say she knowingly broke the law.

Dubai’s cybercrime laws state that an old social media post from before a person visits Dubai can see them heavily fined and jailed for years.


Wait... so you can break Dubai law even if you aren't in Dubai?

So you knew about this law before you went there? You wiped your social media pages clean before going there?


We’re all very impressed at how cosmopolitan you are but your take on this is dumb.

I'll never go to Dubai. Sure is pretty but it's fake and ran by extremists.

You have almost certainly never spent much time there either, it is not all it is made out to be and the vast majority of it is a shithole.

It is spectacular as long as you dont peek behind the curtain and stay west of Sheikh Zayed corridor.
