Come again? Gutter language? You can't be serious.
No word I posted that you have since removed came from the gutter - not one single expletive was included. So why the deletion?
All I did was treat someone with contempt who blatantly visited this thread purely with the intention to wind others up... and you gag ME for putting the little toe-rag in his place?
As for the 'young people' of this forum, I wonder how young they really are considering the fact this forum is intended for PILOTS. And if you think that ANY 'child' of 16 or more hasn't heard much worse than that, you must be living in a gloriously cocooned environment reminiscent of days from the Victorian era, or maybe you've been in the highly censored city of Dubai for too long?
By deleting my quote am I to think that if there's any 'young people' out there reading this, you'd sooner have them believe from all these supremely naiive, bigoted and dispicable posts that the poor girl was stupid for being alone and accepting a lift in the first place and therefore she had it coming to her, rather than have me writing non-offensive language in an attempt to rid this already appalling thread of a transparent bafoon from making further comment?
It's sad that things like this happen worldwide, but most other countries have the sense to recognise a crime and punish the perpetrators accordingly.
Does no-one here get it? The crime here is not just committing an act which the perpetrators should be made to pay heavily for, it's Dubai's pathetic attempt at identifying a crime and delivering 'justice'.
And for all the halfwits here who say the girl is at fault, you're also guilty of committing a crime - of indifference. If this is the stand you take, what example does that set for the future?
4HP, I think what you should be more concerned about where your 'young' readership is concerned, is that you are allowing people here to display an attitude which suggests it's okay for future perpetrators to get off lightly after committing such a heinous crime AND that an innocent victim was partly to blame. Wonderful.
To all the 'young' readers in here, especially YOUNG FEMALES, I hope you realise what standards your so-called 'peers' are setting by;
1) stooping so low as to bring into question the actions of an innocent woman who happens to be the victim of all this, and....
2) the lowly standards of mens behaviour that your 'peers' here seem willing to accept.
That said, some time in the future, you 'young people' might want to thank your 'peers' - people like those here - for turning your neighbourhood into a place where you are unable to leave the house at any time of the day or night for fear of being mugged, raped or murdered.
And by the way, I couldn't agree more with
Scudsy who questions whether any of you are smart enough to be at the controls of an aircraft considering your laughably uneducated viewpoints posted here.
If its any indication of your level of intellect and competence inside the cockpit, I hope to god I never have the misfortune to fly with any of you.
I have an unenviable task '72 - moderation. When you made a reference to @nal sex I felt it was a little OTT and removed the reference.That is all. No gagging - go ahead, just keep it nice please. 4HP
