My 2015 tax bill was $53,487. Next.

The taxes you paid to the US are not the point. You are supporting that regime and getting paid well for it.

I looked into going there years ago. They pay well in the medical field too. One of the recruiter's pitch lines to the group was Saudi Arabia couldn't function without skilled expatriate workers like yourselves. So I could have doubled my income for a few years. That's the cost of business for keeping a corrupt regime up and running. Not for me.

You too? I was going to take a job in Riyadh on the Army base there. Not as much as being a contractor, but a 3 year bid on federal orders would still be pretty nice. Even talked to the Commander who would be my supervisor for a bit about the job. I chose against it since he told me some of the "drawbacks".

They want to terrorize the average person. They have done a good job . We now have 90 year old grand mothers fondled every time they want to fly . Thanks to islam Every time a person desires to fly they deal with Islamic terrorism.

Not thanks to Islam. Thanks to nutjobs who want to kill people. And your statement is completely false. You don't deal with Islamic Terrorism every time a person wants to fly.

Do you fly anywhere? I can't see it since you seem terrified of not being armed. You must work out of your home or something. It's not healthy to be this afraid all of the time.

Of course you have to deal with the consequence of Islam every time you fly, I remember what it was like coming to the US before 9/11.

I get paid in dollars, dollars they dont print. Those dollars get sent over here by people like you who buy their oil. I take those dollars and send them right back home. I dont keep a dime here.

I dont print those dollars either. Based on the flow direction of the money who's supporting who?

Drawbacks? What drawbacks? You've spent months on here puking up platitudes about the peaceful and friendly Islamic community and now you're talking about drawbacks? LMAO your actions dont reflect your words dude.

Maybe you're the scared one. Black-only household, Islamic country has too many "drawbacks". That's really funny. Drawbacks.

Have to deal with those "drawbacks"

Two things:

1. The drawbacks were I would go unaccompanied and unsponsored for three years. Couldn't have my family visit. Also it wasn't a permanent job. I wanted to live and work somewhere I could build a life, not have to relocate after the job was up. The Army base living situation wasn't the most optimal from what I was told(Qatar would be a better choice). Nothing to do with Islam, so please get your facts straight. I know you wait with baited breath for mine or my wife's response but damn, I wasn't even talking to you and you couldn't resist.

2. What the hell is your problem? I'm done sugarcoating it. It's apparent you have an issue with my wife and I, and yet for the life of me I can't understand why you make it a point to start drama in almost every thread we are in. You've made it clear your "feelings" about me, someone you don't even know, but this is a bit much from an online perspective. You can't even go 24 hours without saying something either to me or about me. I didn't know your feelings were hurt that badly. Maybe it's not my home you should be worried about, what's going on in your household?

Point blank. Give it a rest. Tired of having threads closed because we keep bickering over the same damn thing. Either let it be or get on a plane and come see me in Hawaii. Put up or shut up. Or you can keep acting like a jealous little girl and throwing shade from the safety of the internet. Either way, I'm not going to entertain your ignorance anymore.

Of course you have to deal with the consequence of Islam every time you fly, I remember what it was like coming to the US before 9/11.

So do I. Was in DC when it all went down. It's not Islam, but terrorists. I know you can't tell the difference between the two.

Why base it on the flow of money? The US shouldn't be relying on oil from Saudi. We know that. As long as we are, nothing will change. Several alternatives to oil if we made that a priority.

Still, you're the one working for the king, not me.

Yeah, they brought in some people who had worked there and the stories were unreal. Not in a good way.

I could handle living in SA. I didn't want to move all the way there and turn around 3 years later and move back here or somewhere else.

In a couple of years, we might make the move back overseas. Looking at either Dubai or Singapore.

Sometimes people on here just can't get along; that's fine. But talking about someone's spouse, or any other family member, is bad form. People can argue all they want but some lines shouldn't be crossed.

Kind of reminds me why I stopped posting here.

My whole point exactly. There are quite a few people I don't agree with their thinking, but I would never go after their family or them personally. It's the internet for crying out loud. You shouldn't be getting this worked up over someone you don't even know.

It's staring to wane on us as well. Another member hit me up and said it's creepy how some of the "men" here like to talk about Janelle. It's not even a debate anymore, but take a shot at my wife because she's a member here.

It's suspect when someone puts you on ignore, then goes and talks about you to your wife or other members. Or when they don't even have a topic and just make a comment about her. Or tell her she's into monkeys. That's the calibre of folks we now have here.

Drawbacks dont bother me dude
