    Too stereotypical to respond to seriously. This is like a saying "all people with blue eyes are dumb" (or smart) (or are cruel) (or kind).

    Totally absurd!! Of course, you are welcome to your "opinion". It gives you great credibility.

    Peace,

  3. re Arabs being bullshit artists: i can honestly say that in australia, in sydney and melbourne, the arabs (mostly lebanese and egyptian (and the turks too)) are (in)famous for bragging and bullshitting (about how tough they are, how many girls they pick up, how good their cars are, who they know blah blah). sure, everyone does these things, the arabs here just take it up a notch.

  5. have you ever been here candle?
    if not, how can you comment?

    i have lived here for many years. my best friends were arabs. i have met and spoken to arabs in the numbers of, probably, the low to mid hundreds. that's a sizeable enough sample to draw statistical inferences from.

    the vast majority of the arabs i have spoken to, over 80%, young and old, seemed to have a pathological need to embellish the truth, or just outright make things up, to boast of themselves, their country, family, traditions, and what not. no other ethnic group i've met even comes close.

  6. I would think our natural habitat is that of personal liberty, democratic society, freedom of religion and freedom of the press, etc.

  8. My money's still on the Greeks and Italians... in fact, I extend it to the entire Meditteranean region... there's definitely something in the water there... :D

  9. Looking beyond the Meditteranean, I have several Nigerian friends, and they all fit the description you gave above...

  10. well, it's obvious you're just kidding around candle, but i'll just say, depending on where in america you live, i'd imagine i'm a virtual lock to have known way more greeks, italians and arabs than you. so i probably a somewhat more qualified opinion than you. nice to see defending your brother arabs (like a good liberal) every chance you get.
