Another day of trying to get answers on the adultery case
I just sent gulfnews.com editors a letter (also inquiring about publication for everyone to see) saying that I want answers. Saying that it is now May the third and they have not made ONE single update.

I'm on a search for answers, on a search for justice. I put my heart into this case and I will go down swinging if I have to. Is she still alive? Did the trial even happen? Is she free or in jail still?

Unanswered questions that I am now demanding answers of.
What else can I say, besides AWESOME!

Alright I get your point. However this IS important to me.

I care about that kid and the case, and there is no way I am going to quit until I know it's over and she's back with her fam - Even if I HAD a job. I'm not the type of guy to give up - on anything. Not giving up on fighting for her and not giving up the look for a job.

Brutal, but honest.

I have to agree. You are wasting energy on this. This happened over in the middle east right? Where they do things differently than over here, right? Then who the hell are you to say its right or wrong? Get with the program guy, they have been living that way since forever. Who the hell do you think you are to run it playing white knight and trying to change that? This is where people get off on saying Americans always stick their noses in other people business. Case and fucking point good sir.

Leave it alone. You are obsessing with this shit. If you concentrated HALF the effort in finding a job and a place to live as you do on this lost cause, then you'd be working and at least sleeping on a decently comfortable bed..

Go help some local kids, they need it and there are MANY of them that you could actually make life better for.

I actually have a good heart dammit, I have found the calling of what I am HERE to do. Protect the Youth. End of Discussion. Don't like it? Don't reply!

When something does go down here locally you bet I'll be there, right now, it's a start, I'm helping someone. SOMEONE. Yes it's taking place in the middle east. Yes it is a nation that runs things differently, but guess what? Everybody deserves to be treated fairly. They arrested this girl and slapped an adultery charge on her, when they have a conformation bias towards women and kids. They do. To me I, like I have said, don't care if you have a background of muslim or chiristian, I don't care if you're black or white. This, is what I DO. I HELP people.

You call it an obsession? Screw that, this is called persistency, this is called digging deeper and DEMANDING answers. People sometimes just read news articles, say something for a day - and then they give up. No, me, I stay as persistent as all hell until I get it done.

No matter if it's the Middle East, the UK, the USA, it doesn't matter, I will do what I can to fight and to bring the truth out. To protect people.
Don't like it? Too bad

Yes I see your point. I do.

I have to start somewhere. It just happened to be in the Emirates where it began. I couldn't control that. I didn't choose the Emirates, i was drawn to it, drawn to the case, it chose me.

I know the morals and values and very different. I know. Doesn't mean I can't fight. I voiced my words on other topics involving the youth before this case, yet the case got put on my shoulders.

Actually, I was speaking more broadly than that. You mother's attitude towards you makes you feel like crap. I know very well what that feels like. Hard to make decisions that are good for yourself when you don't feel good about yourself. That's why your chasing this issue with this girl. It is something that allows you to feel good about yourself. Trouble is that you are escaping your own reality. Really not that much different than one who uses alcohol or drugs to avoid issues in their life. Unfortunately, the "alcohol" only makes their life worse, however good it may make them feel at the moment.

They arrested this girl and slapped an adultery charge on her, when they have a conformation bias towards women and kids. They do. To me I, like I have said, don't care if you have a background of muslim or chiristian, I don't care if you're black or white. This, is what I DO. I HELP people.

You call it an obsession? Screw that, this is called persistency, this is called digging deeper and DEMANDING answers. People sometimes just read news articles, say something for a day - and then they give up. No, me, I stay as persistent as all hell until I get it done.

No matter if it's the Middle East, the UK, the USA, it doesn't matter, I will do what I can to fight and to bring the truth out. To protect people.
Don't like it? Too bad
 Quoting: I.R.A


Your calling is to protect the youth? Son, you ARE a youth and you really need to help yourself first, or you will never be in a position to help others. I'm not ragging on you here but you really need to consider your behavior and your focus.

For starters, it is clear that you need help. And yes, I'm talking about some serious counseling/therapy. I know that no one likes to hear that, especially at your age. But right now, the masses, and that includes you, are being subjected to and assaulted by various forms of subtle and not-so-subtle thought control. Even those that are acutely aware of it must be vigilant. I'm old enough to be your father and I know of what I speak.

Just the fact that you are here at GLP confirms that you are reading about many troubling events and circumstances. It can be a real balancing act for someone with a stable home life, with no financial difficulties, and mature enough to deal with what is unfolding before our eyes. For someone your age without your difficulties, and perhaps with some adult guidance, it would be hard enough. In your situation, it is impossible.

Young friend, your unwillingness to take action to immediately improve your physical situation, eg: living in a car in fear of sleeping, in need of someone who you can trust but with no one in sight, indicates a problem.

Likewise, your desire to be a "hero" and need to be seen as a good-hearted young man, is also a classic indication of a problem.

Helping others is, indeed, a good way to help heal certain emotional 'hurts'. But you are in need of psychological assistance which, unfortunately, you will likely resist due to the very issues that require attention in the first place.

We are very possibly on the verge of nuclear war and all of the nightmarish issues that go along with it. And yet, you are expending energy on a victim in a land so far distant, that any actions on your part will be a fruitless waste. Would not the time and energy be put to better use by rendering aid to yourself first? You should think about this carefully for there is precious little time to waste.

I have a feeling that although you may not consider yourself to be 'religious', you are seeking acceptance from your Creator. Your need to be in the role of 'savior' or defender of the weak is a common ploy used by those hoping to counter the feelings of unacceptability. This often stems from flawed beliefs about the true nature of God.

Please understand this: you are acceptable, you are 'worthy' of being loved by the one from whom you seek these things. But you will suffer greatly if you don't 'know thyself' and correct your thinking, and fast. You're young and not so set in your ways. You can do this. But I urge you to accept that, with your background and under today's stressors, especially what you're aware of from being here at GLP, you must be in need of some effective professional help. There's no shame in it. The shame is continuing down the spiral you are on and focusing outside of yourself, half a world away, when the difficulty lies within. The trick is finding someone who actually cares to show you how to go within and solve your own issues.

You may have an important role to play in the future so you must prepare yourself NOW. Even if that future role seems insignificant, the ripple effect could end in something big. But it won't happen if you don't work on yourself now.

Seriously, consider it.
