Anyone seen the videos of refugees refusing water and food? Anyone know why would they do that? Yes I have watched some of them. That's very sad and wasteful. A few of them are in fear of being poisoned. I imagine crowd mentality mixed with fear, hunger, and tiredness are all contributing factors. I cannot imagine what it must be like, living in a tent in a land you do not know and not knowing what the future holds for you, especially for those with young children.

[i'>[b'>I am a passport holder of the most beneficial passport.[/b'>[/i'> I really don't think there is a &quot;most beneficial passport.&quot; There are about 20 one might choose.

Yes silvset is right, when she talks about the most beninfical passport she is saying the one that can get you into a other countries without having a to apply for a visa. If you do not agree with These, mums, dads, daughters and sons trying to escape from something so fearful fwell you are entitled to your opinion. But it's another thing to spend time trying to compare yourself to them saying you have been denied entry into places before! Yes agreed embarrassing I am sure it was but I assume you just went home and had a roof over your head and food still? For those of you who do want to help there are fantastic causes going on across Europe to help with supplies to those in need. Please get involved.

So, so sad for the children loosing their lives. It is always the innocent who loose out in the end. The crisis in the European Countries is a difficult situation to solve. Sadly, I don't believe that all of those people are true refugees. I feel that some are opportunists using the situation to try to get a better life or better place to live, they are increasing the numbers and making it worse for the refugees to get the help they need. And whats wrong with people trying to get a better place to live or life? Isn't that what we are all trying to do really?:confused: If they are truly running from war, they should've settled in the Southern Europe no problem. However, that is not enough for the hordes or people fighting with the police. The videos are truly scary, most of the people are young feisty men, and because of them, true refugees are not getting the help they need. I think we should remember some fundamental things. We are all human and all live on earth, who decides where each of us gets to go! Being Expats on this forum none of us have decided to stay in the same spot of land we were born! Yes we all lucky to have choice but these humans do not. Borders and countries are something that is man-made do not forget.

These are the costs to consider for living in a 'tax free' region. It's called the &amp;quot;Expat Tax&amp;quot; ... the extra money we all pay when we get ripped off trying to live overseas. But I think we are all beginning to wonder if it's worth it anymore! Paying taxes back home means I get free schooling for my children, a legal system that is fair - and if I get an unfair speeding ticket, I can feel like I have a chance to overturn it - and decent weather! I totally understand why some people are willing to put up with the extra costs of living in Dubai. If I were from a dangerous country like South Africa or a developing country like India or Pakistan, I'd find Dubai attractive as well ... Do you have any idea how arrogant that is? Seriously can you read that again? How insulting can you be? Oh those poor people from those undeveloped and dangerous countries might like it here but us from superior parts of the world are too good for this place. Please by all means why don't you leave? I don't think there was any offence, realistically its fair comment to suggest that anyone's perspective of Dubai is formed by a comparison to where they are from, that's unavoidable really, so if someone is unfortunately from a deprived, underdeveloped or war torn area their impression of Dubai is naturally going to be many times more positive than that of someone who came from a first world infrastructure. Its all a matter of perspective upon which opinion is framed rather than arrogance, maybe that opinion is offensive to you, but to deny the right of anyone to express their opinion is more disturbing than the opinion itself Imo, presuming I am permitted one. No offence intended. well said chezmoi I am new to this thing but came on here looking for tips etc, but couldn't help but notice this convo! Somethings are expensive and other things are cheaper. There are a lot of expenditures but those still amount to less than the Tax I would have to pay at home, and I would have to pay for other things on top of that. Plus most tax havens are more expensive to live in. I have always thought that.
