Bad Words = jail.

Good to see the UAE giving this uppity bitch what she deserves..

Over there she should feel lucky that she was allowed access to the internet, let alone social media, being a female and all.

 

[sponge]

Female on internet?

Straight to jail.

 

[mwd]

No problem with the Internet in the UAE I think dating sites and all Porn sites are banned. Setting up ISS websites might also be frowned upon.

Look out for the Lamborghini Patrol Car parked in the disabled park outside. Dubai is just an hour up the road in that.

Just for anyone who thought I was being unnecessarily sexist.

She's lucky she wasn't posting something bagging craft beer somewhere else on the internets and then someone on AHB caught wind of it. The rage of a few thousand balding overweight home brewing keyboard warriors has proved to be as vicious as a backwards assed middle eastern justice system in the past here when one of those women things gets on the internet.

Hey! I'm not balding..

Yet.

When I was in Jakarta I was told about the Internet restrictions so I type ****s on my Ipad and got a notification on the screen that basically told me that the ministry for communication wouldn't allow me access.
Makes a bloke wonder if " some" access should be blocked here as well ?

So - people are interested in what is forbidden?
Well colour me surprised.
@OP - never easy to work out the truth from media articles but as far as I can see, this woman needs unequivocal, unnerving and unswaying support from embassy/government and public here.
This **** isn't on in general - when we can make some noise about it, we should and we can.

She's in jail in a foreign country mate.
I understand your dislike of the beardy nerd thing - I share some of that distaste with you but slagging off a blogger does not compare with the state/a state incarcerating someone.
I know it was a joke/shitgive but it wasn't your best one yet.

 

[mwd]

Update : she is being deported bit harsh one would think.

P.S. had two mates put in Abu Dhabi prison for a month in the 80's for punching an Arab prick at a party. They said is was really tough sun baking all day not having to go to work and food supplied by the Sheraton Hotel.

( food brought in though by friends ).


Better than 50 lashes of the cat o nine tails for sipping a Fosters in Saudi :lol: Guess they didn't ban VPN yet in the Middle East.

there are no women on the internet

IMO, go to another country (especially one such as this) and break their laws and deserve what you get.

go to asia and do drugs, you deserve the harshest penalties they give.

dont like their laws or think they are unfair? you're welcome not to go there and find a country with laws you do agree with

And I'm not fat.

Size 34 pants for the last ten years bitch.

Funny how the UAE turns a blind eye to prostitution though. Some of the hotel bars in Dubai are worse than the girly bars in Bangkok's Patpong area.

I like to scratch off the 34 and write 33. I've been a 33 for years..

[welly2]

Well, to be fair, she wasn't specifically asking Abbott to help sort things out, she was asking the country to do so.

Anyway, she's been released.

Personally, I can't understand why anyone from a western nation would want to work in such places. I wouldn't go anywhere near them. I guess the draw of high wages and low/no tax appeals to some. I value my freedom over money.

 

[wynnum1]

Whats the reason for being in the UAE if its so bad .

 

[sponge]

The weather.

 

[Dave70]

Because its not so bad.
Unless you're female. Or gay. But who cares about them.

The weather.

Because the weather in Australia is terrible, of course. I'm suffering today with the highs of 30c! Anyone got a spare jumper?

 

[mwd]

UAE is pretty good. Saudi sucks they close all the shops for prayer time. The reason people go is the money lifestyle and TAX FREE. Consider how much money you have given away to the government over a working lifetime.

Mate of mine lives in Dubai works in Angola has a very fancy apartment runs around in an Aston Martin DB7. Of the many thousands of expats living over there one story makes the big TV news must have been a slow day in the newsroom.

If you think it is so bad in the U.A.E. then check out a few of the Dubai docos on Youtube.

P.S. if you have a liquor licence then the beer is much cheaper than here. So is fuel, electricity etc etc.

 

[wynnum1]

Do they allow woman drivers .

Cos posting on facebook and drug smuggling are incredibly similar activities.
Good comparison.

Yes the only country in the world I believe that don't is Saudi Arabia they must all be chewing Yemen Khat.

I'd love to tear round the desert in a highly modified Landcruiser burning up my 15c p/l petrol. They look like a great bunch of petrol heads over there.

On the other hand, I doubt I'd ever feel at ease living under a system still beheads witches in public.

99% agree with this...
BUT,
did you read what she's actually been charged with? No? Well, you can't because last reports indicated no one, including her, know what the charges are.
Did you read what she actually did? She took a photo of someone's car that had parked across 2 parking bays then obscured identifying details such as the number plate, then posted it on Facebook.
Seriously??? I don't know about you but I honestly wouldn't have thought there was anything remotely resembling a crime in that in any country.
What its *suspected* she's been arrested for is breaking a law on breaching an individual's privacy and defaming them. Would you seriously have known what she did was in breach of a law like that. We have laws like that here in Oz and I'm damn sure she'd never be thought to be in breach of them given what she did.
I wouldn't have posted it on FB myself, but each to their own.
I'm a genuine fan of the "when in Rome" policy and wearing the consequences of being an idiot. However I'd also point out there's a few excessively draconian countries out there with highly dubious legal systems.
