Are you not considered a 'foreigner'? Don't you have a british passport?

*sigh* no that's not what he meant

[Basrawii]

he meant hes cheap!

[sheytanElKebir]

i meant I'm "efficient" and did the work without the need for "private security contractors" which would have tripled the cost of the work needlessly...

I was still personally paid the same as any person from "the west".

I had a similar conversation with a couple of arab dudes coming to Basra working for ARAB CONTRACTORS CO. and it was on the plane, they were making fun of Iraq and how stupid the ppl are, uneducated, ignorant, easy to fool when it comes to technology and many other stuff, when they saw the BSC main road from above... they said: "At least they have one decent road there..." I wouldn't say they were wrong... they were right actually. But still they were getting paid a shit load of money just for being there... so some respect was still a good thing. So I simply said and in English: "Its true these ppl are so ignorant and easy to fool, but lets hope none of you guys end up with a couple of bullets in the head for messing around with them.. it is easier for a human being to be shot here than a chicken". That stunned them and made them shut the fuck up for the rest of the flight.

Nice one lad. I'll talk Iraq down till the baqareh comes home but no way am I going to let anyone else talk shit about it. Especially not some Arab jarab.

But sheytan can talk shit, tbf, he's probably done more for the country than most of us ever will.

And be careful what you say on a plane...
