Child Sex in India
One, and Two more reasons why people shouldn’t be complaining about the life they have in the UAE, irregardless of their position, nationality, working conditions, etc.
There is nothing that outrages me more than sexual child abuse. In these cases, Indian families are being forced to let their young daughters or sisters suffer the unimaginable at the hands of strangers for a little money.
When the economy of any society forces its public to relinquish moral values at the cost of less than a dollar and the government fails to do anything but watch as the population increases and corruption runs rampant and citizens are forced to move abroad for the sake of saving their own from similar states; something is very wrong and the problem has nothing to do with the UAE.
In the United Arab Emirates, we gripe about the traffic, about the inequality based on race, about the verdicts handed down to criminals. We gripe about whether or not our maids should be allowed in our swimming pools, about nationalization laws, about how truly tough life is here. But let me ask you this, how many UAE residents could consider forcing their ten-year-old daughters into prostitution? How many feel the strings of poverty are pulled so tight that they have no other option; even with delayed salary payments? How many of you can’t logically see that the reason you’re here is because the UAE government has done more for you and your family than your own damn government can/or will? And how many of you are still ungrateful about it?
Side note:
I’ve moved in. It was a nightmare as we all could have guessed. But it was done. I should be around more regularly by tomorrow. I don’t work, I have little else to do but unpack and take care of my mom’s cats.

Arent you job hunting? That would keep you busy. A little.
Harsha,
I have no intention to look for work for at least a few weeks. I need a break and I'm taking it!
;)
Well said. Refreshing to see someone focus on something other than traffic and discrimination woes in this city. I'm getting tired of all the bitching. Our energy should be spent on things more f*king productive.
Happy housewarming, by the way.
you have no idea what you are talking about.
how about comparing an apple to apple, rather than comparing it with a mango?
So you admit that UAE is the Mango and these countries are apples?
Eat an apple every day and you get bored & sick. Get a mango as a treat, you SHOULD BE FUCKING THANKFUL and stop the fucking bitching.
That's my goddamned point. Cleary, you missed that.
How you can compare the traffic in dubai to two incidents of child-sex in a billion plus populated country?
Did i again miss the point?
Don't tarnish a whole country for an incident or two.

I'm not comparing. I'm saying the UAE IS BETTER so and this is just an example of why so please shut the fuck up.
You're annoying. Have you seen what I think of spineless anonymous haters yet?
LINK, because I can do that and make finding a page easier for readers.
your highness...the other side of the coin...i suggest u write a post on pedophile...they are the scumbags...child prostitution is also rampant in countires such as Indonesia, Thailand...etc people in UAE..especially expats should be posted to those countries for a change...i also suspect they have a sexless life...what u think?
Well said Tainted...........somminc to add to it tho..........despite the horrors the kids have to go thru, what about prosecuting the parents who pimp & sell their kids by choice & not necessity?
tainted you are such a stupid when it comes to understanding simple things.
I am anonymous here because i don't have a blog. so whats the big deal.
you want me to create an account and have a nick for the sake of responding to your blog . . . go drink a glass of water and go out of your computer room and get some fresh air. perhaps that could awaken your dead senses.
'tainted you are such a stupid when it comes to understanding simple things.'
Possibly. But at least my English skills are beyond that of calling someone 'such a stupid', which is simple grammar.
I think you are being unfair in grouping all Indians/expats as being ungrateful farts. Most Indians/expats I know are happy out here and would probably like to continue to live/work here. These include construction workers, grocery helpers, etc. Every country has a few problems associated with it, in the case of UAE, it's traffic, rising rents, etc. and it is human nature to grumble/voice one's opinion on something that is not quite correct. Hence the letters in Gulf News complaining about the same issues time and again.
I agree with you point that compared to the problems that other countries face, these issues seem to be almost laughable. But all the same,I feel this type of India/expat bashing is really uncalled for. But then again, this is your blog, so you have the right to say what you feel. As to if what you write/feel is correct or wrong is a whole different issue.
I think you haven’t read the first few lines of this post and have no right to comment thus.
’One, and Two more reasons why people shouldn’t be complaining about the life they have in the UAE, irregardless of their position, nationality, working conditions, etc.’
You must be an Indian expat with severe reverse racism issues, as you keep bringing Indian’s up claiming that I’m pointing only Indian expats out. If you’ve read any of my blog at all you’d see that I’ve also attacked outrageous issues in the United States and other countries (including my own) and not just India. With the all the UAE bashing blogs around here coming from people who live off this land, I intend to counter that voice. If you don’t like it, do me a favor find another blog to read; otherwise, please shut the fuck up.
Kay? Thanks.
do you think your “self appointed anti-ranting crusader blogger” would catapult to “SD kind celebrated blogger”? One comment by a Harsha here or one comment by a balushi or a sam there won't. So dream on . . . . .
Nor your blog is not password protected for viewing and reading by a chosen community, neither you have disabled anonymous comments. You want to people to read your blog. You have the right to spit venom, so is our right to apply some anti-venom. Stop complaining/name-calling about people who comments.
What part of ’please shut the fuck up’ don’t you understand?
Oh I get it! You’re a last-word-junky. Well, if that little spill didn’t help your ego, have another go at it. I promise not to reply this time.
You’re boring me now.
i know you won't reply, cos, you don't have anything else to say other than few decorated cuss words.
you don't take criticism too well do you?? and what's with this racism thing you keep bringing up all the time? i did not see any references to anything racist in any of the comments until you brought it up. and it's not a question of as to if you are bored or not. one of your readers took the time to post a comment. and how do you respond to it? well, it's out there for all to see. another anon reader raised some very valid points on how much you want people to read your blog. you refuse to respond.
anyhow, i guess i'll take your advice to one of the anon's and not vist this blog again. hence don't bother to respond to this comment. i won't be around to read it. good luck.
I think s/he'll be back - you're just too intoxicating, or should that be intoxicated??
Taunted,
If it’s who I think it is… he’ll be back. Some people just can’t seem to leave me the fuck alone no matter how much they hate me or I hate them.
UAE boy, morning hun. Got your message but was too tired to reply. I do it because some people need to be talked to like that. We'll talk later.
And you’re right about the expats here. They can’t leave because they know your country gives them more than their own. But at the same time, they can’t stop talking bad about it.
Happy Fourth of you lie Anonymous
