You should read the whole sentence, I wasn't asking for a meet-up. But if I were, unsa may panghambog ana, nga naka-adto ta og middle east? Di ba gud to ikaw ang nag-una og hisgot nga naka-adto na ka didto? Nang-hambog diay ka adto?

If you're savvy enough, you can try and review on my previous posts if naghisgot ba ko directly nga nagpuyo ko sa middle east or nanghambog ko kung unsa ko or asa ko nakaadto.. Kay kung ako, pwede nako erepost and imong mga gipangpost kung kinsa'y nanghambog natong duha...

If you can't demonstrate proper understanding of economic terms like GDP, purchasing power parity, then don't discuss them. What's so deep to knowing the difference between these, it's just like knowing the difference between an average and the sum total. And you can answer your own question already, is their real estate and finance-based economy now because of oil or because of policies designed by their leaders to focus on these two areas to diversify their economy? Which is the bigger influence the oil or the decisions of their leaders? Do you think the Philippines will now be rich because we have oil deposits? Your question on KSA doesn't make sense because what you said before revolved around their stupidity and laziness and this question implies that its conservatism and climate that may be more relevant. You need to establish first that they are lazy and stupid rather than speculate on how rich they might be without oil.

You know what, you're making me laugh. You're quite good at comedy.... You're trying to mislead me and change the whole topic with your "knowledge" in economics.. You don't need to have a good knowledge in economics and explain them to me to answer my question, just give me data or figures that shows that Lebanon is not that much poorer than KSA. I was hoping you can provide me with any figures because I have given you with my previous posts... And, I noticed that it's quite hard for you to differentiate an oil producing country's past and present condition so I won't ask you again about that... .... You're keep on saying that we have oil and I don't disagree with that.. Just give me exact figures on how many barrels we can produce and the lifespan of those oil reserves that you were mentioning.. I need to know if there's enough volume of oil in our country that is more than our own consumption. Don't just say, "hey, we have oil, why aren't we rich? All I need is data ...... And, I don't think those countries have greater leaders than us.. We have great leaders here too, we just didn't chose them..... And regarding KSA, I wont bother asking you again about it coz it's obvious that you don't even know their history and that answers my question already....

I did not made conclusions about Arabs based purely on my experiences but through the experiences of other people too.. Not just from our fellow Filipinos but also from other nationalities and even some Arabs too.. Also, to add to that, I did some few research (not extensive), watched some documentaries and observe their culture.. .. If you want, I can share some links to you...

But all this is pointless. You still have nothing other than your personal, unprovable experience of Arabs to base your generalization that they are all lazy and stupid, that's all I wanted to point out and I've done that already. [B] Don't you know that a lot of racist foreigners who live here say the same thing about pinoys too ? And what's your answer to that, that they're correct just because they've lived here?

Now, this is something based on your experience.... We've got different experiences you know, I can't answer your question now but maybe I can in the future. If I will experience what you have experienced then that's the time I can answer you...

"You're quite good at comedy.." If you mean comedy as in kataw-anan ang imong concept sa wealth as gross GDP, yes sakto ni. Pero ikaw ang nag-hatag sa materiales og props bai.

"You're trying to mislead me and change the whole topic " I mislead and change the whole topic by talking about GDP which you brought up?? you confused yourself by posting stuff you don't even have firm understanding of, ayaw pangbasol sa lain. Stick to posting about lazy arabs kai diha ka expert

"wede nako erepost and imong mga gipangpost kung kinsa'y nanghambog natong duha..."

Nitubag lang ko sa imong post nga wurag nanghambog nga kay nakaadto na ka Middle East, ikaw ra ang puwede mo himong commentario sa mga tao didto. Kung dili na panghambog ang pag-hisgot nga naka adto na ka didto, dili sad panghambog ang paghisgot nga naka adto na ko og daghan lugar. There's nothing special in both cases...

"Now, this is something based on your experience.... We've got different experiences you know"

So maybe the Arabs you hung around with are stupid and lazy, but you haven't met all of them so why generalize? You can reason out all you want but you will always be wrong since the rules don't allow that kind of post.

we have oil. but other countries wont invest or loan bucks to us because they dont trust our people.
they never had respect to us, just like what HK are doing to us. it all boils down to our character.

^^ouch! a big slap on the faces of the pinoys...

I beg to disagree on your argument sir...

It is not a question of us being "Filipino", rather it's our economic provisions that isolates the country from the rest of the economic tigers...

Remember that we were once 2nd biggest economy in Asia during post-WWII, and took its U-turn during martial law. However, I believed that we could never be in that same place again. I said so because one main problem that us filipino is the culture that we have in the system right now..

- Corruption
- Self-Centered Characters
- Patriotism (Mura gamay na lang tingali'y makita rong ala Andres Bonifacio, JPR, etc)

And may I add something..

Don't you know sir the Filipina nurses and caregivers are the most trusted ones in terms of medical services? This just show that trust isn't an issue, rather it is our system that led us to what we think as a crappy life...

Just my 2 cents though....

OT: you disagreed to it but somehow your post is quite similar to the quoted post

Hehehe, well thnx for that sir... But what I am giving emphasis is this quote "they don't trust us"... It is merely an acceptance that Filipinos could never be trusted...

We have to admit those cultural failures, but just don't simply accept that we could never be trusted.

Review our economic provisions, couple it with positive attitudes and revive the true Filipino culture. Probably we have shots of salvaging this economic downturn...

Dili ang GDP ang kataw-anan, ikaw ang kataw-anan... I was giving you real figures, (dili lang basec on my experience... ) to prove something to you.. I'm laughing because instead of proving yourself correct by giving me real figures, you're just discussing economics to me (which as what I have said, I don't need to be discussed... My professors in college who are a lot better than you have already discuss them to me.)

I mislead and change the whole topic by talking about GDP which you brought up?? you confused yourself by posting stuff you don't even have firm understanding of, ayaw pangbasol sa lain. Stick to posting about lazy arabs kai diha ka expert

Yeah right, I don't understand what I have posted... Hahaha.. Now you're concluding and you don't even know me... You can't even prove a word you say.... And by the way, review my posts again if I did not stick on my idea about arabs..

Nitubag lang ko sa imong post nga wurag nanghambog nga kay nakaadto na ka Middle East, ikaw ra ang puwede mo himong commentario sa mga tao didto. Kung dili na panghambog ang pag-hisgot nga naka adto na ka didto, dili sad panghambog ang paghisgot nga naka adto na ko og daghan lugar. There's nothing special in both cases..."

You still can't prove that I bragged that I have been to middle east.. It's your own "personal" opinion..

So maybe the Arabs you hung around with are stupid and lazy, but you haven't met all of them so why generalize? You can reason out all you want but you will always be wrong since the rules don't allow that kind of post.

You're not reading..... I mean, you're reading but without comprehension..
....................
And by the way, you're replies are all just to question my intelligence. You can't even answer my questions.. You can't even give me facts.. You can't even prove anything... ..
