The myth of traveling and the "But I've been to that country excuse"

Virginia:

Just because you have "traveled" to Morocco does not mean very much. I hear this nonsense all the time from the Western left---Oh, I have a degree, an education (code work for indoctrination) or I have traveled. Since we are playing the guessing game, let me ask you this:

Did you just hop on an airplane and fly from one concrete slab to another? Perhaps from one resort area to another where the locals are given incentive and sometimes paid to not reveal their hatred for uppity-acting Westerners?

For those of you who live in urban areas, or on the USA coasts, it would probably do you all some good to come out the Great Plains of North America and see some corn fields or at least something with chlorophyll.

Let me guess, you did not even go into a slum or the rural desert?

Yes, Virginia, you sure know your stuff alright. I'm beginning to wonder if you haven't fallen for some handsome, younger Moroccan man and are having issues with that. Maybe that's why you continue to waste your time by coming on here?

And actually, Virginia, I just may have much more experience with Middle Eastern people than you do.

As far as Dani's comment, I have not yet responded, but she is RIGHT. If Western women are going to go on sex vacations to Morocco (and make no mistake, that's what a good chunk of these so-called "relationships" are), yeah, they are not going to have very much respect for Western women, on top of the fact that the Islamic media blares on about how Scandinavian women are sluts and how Danish women apparently marry dogs.

You see, when you throw yourself at someone whether you are a man or woman of any ethnicity, they will NOT respect you. When you give your partner money and gifts all the time, they have no reason to respect you either.

Guess the sermons about the Five Pillars are not drawing enough crowds or something, huh?
