But if you're happy to conduct yourself in this manner, and proudly represent your country abroad like this then that says a lot about you as a person, and your respect for your own country.

One thing that stands to the Emiratis, whatever their other faults, of which there are many, is that they still believe in themselves and their country and are proud to represent it.
The Brits, well, its not just other countries you love to rant about, you love to do it to your own also, blaming everyone but yourselves for the state of the nation, the drinking culture, the crime, the weather, or wait, maybe blame the Labour government, thats another DailyMail reader favourite isnt it?? The same Labour government that the Brits voted to be their elected representatives!

Yeah, you are well qualified to preach to the rest of the world about their problems!

Doesnt sound that way.

What does it matter where im from, my country doesnt define me, and i dont need to pretend to be proud and preach about all things Great Britain, while in the next sentence displaying an attitude that is not in the least bit Great at all.

Why do you people find it impossible to come back with anything other than a failed attempt at a one liner? Jimmy Carr you are not, love.

Are you too stupid to answer with a reasonable argument?

You have thrown out some crappy oneliners yourself, and frankly, you just sound like a tosser.

Nothing sexist or stereotypical about that statement either is there?! Good, just so we all know where we stand.

That's why the minute you step off the plane onto the runway, you pack away the attitude and put up with things. When you can anonymously spout your Daily Exress filth, you spew it out here.
