Re: [RC] Under-age camel jockeys get caring hand - Gulf News article - TypeF \(Jackie Floyd\)
You know, as the keeper of the flame at
johnnycash.com, I see this kind of behavior on a daily basis. And it never
ceases to amaze me that someone PAYS for a website and allows people to have the
opportunity to visit there, sets down rules and then some one comes along and is
rude about it. At least at this website they have advertisers who can help pay
for the server bills. We don't have that luxury at jc.com but it doesn't stop
people from thinking they have the right to tell us what to do.
And this has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
It has to do with the fact that this site belongs to the Teeters and they have
every right in the world to make the rules. Those that don't like it,
can go somewhere else or start their own website.
It would behoove us all to treat each other with
sensibility and respect. It's one thing to voice one's opinion on a subject. We
ALL have different opinions. That's what makes the world go around. It's totally
another to treat an individual poorly for their opinions.
Well, that outta have taken me down a notch or two
...
Subject: Re: [RC] Under-age camel jockeys
get caring hand - Gulf News article
I thought you banned this
topic on RC.
Was that only when the
UAE was being portrayed in a negative light? Now that these slave
traders are being embarrassed into claiming they are taking positive
steps.....is it OK to post on this issue? How odd that you
discouraged the negative threads about this issue, but now that there is a
nice article portraying the UAE leaders as caring, compassionate, and wanting
to help and rehabilitate the little slave children.....you are the one who
brings the banned topic back to the list.
Do you think the UAE
rulers would have done anything on their own if it hadn't been for the
HBO program, or Ansar Burney, or probably the tons of letters and emails
they most likely received from around the world??? I find it
ironic that the very people the article points as the lawbreakers there are,
in reality, the rulers of the UAE. Of course they will never
admit any wrongdoing. Instead, it appears the rulers are
pointing the finger at the "agents" who bring the children into the
country.....or the "phony guardians" who claim to be their
parents. Someone has to be the scapegoat,
right?
It will be interesting to
see what is really done toward stopping this atrocity and what will turn out
to be lip service. Wonder how long it will be before cameras are
allowed at the camel tracks?
