Sounds like a really shitty place to visit

- Realistically there are two reasons you're going there, one is because you have a business obligation or potential contract which incentivizes going there, and two is because you got conned by tourist bait ads that try to hush hush all this stuff because it drives people away.

  Third is you're an influencer and don't want to pay taxes.

My gay buddy wants to go to Dubai I'm like bruh they don't drink, arrest gays, and it's a fucking cardboard movie set city. It's omega lame af.

Just go to Vietnam or Thailand instead. Great food, cheap af, and they party.

- People play too many games with their lives. If a government is telling me not to go to their country, I interpret that as a threat.

  I mean it is in every way a threat. There's a silent "or else" at the end.

- Thailand: don't say anything at all about the monarchy

Alternatively you can also avoid going to countries with no respect for human rights. Act in a way that if everyone else did too it would have an actual impact on the world. Be the change.

Why would anyone want to visit this shit ass petrol state?

52
- They seem to get all the major sports championships.
  
  2004 Asian Men's Handball Championship - hosted in Qatar. 2004 ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships - hosted in Qatar. 2005 West Asian Games - hosted in Qatar. 1998 Men's World Open Squash Championship. 2002 Women's World Open Squash Championship. 2004 Men's World Open Squash Championship. FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™. Qatar Grand Prix (Formula 1). IAAF World Athletics Championships. AFC Asian Cup. Qatar motogp. WTA Qatar Open (tennis).

  Thats because the organizers take bribes from the petrol state

No dating? How do they reproduce?

36
- Glorified rape
  
  41
- Two words, arranged marriage.
  
  25
  
  One word, rape.
  
  23
- Have you seen their population diagram? They import.
  
  (Yes, I know, it's more complex than that.)

- Your parents match you, an Imam marries you, then the Emir impregnates the wife.
  
  6
- I wonder if it's meant to contrast to a "chaste courtship" sort of thing. Just a wild guess, though.

Damn, I think I'd break 6-7 of these just by going to the beach.

- If you're a man, anything. If you're a woman refer to the guide.

  I feel like homosexuality and making fun of religion might get you into hot water regardless of gender.

Cool, an intolerant place i wont ever go.

24
What to do: never go to the middle east without an armored battalion backing you up.

This place sounds boring as fuck. What a bunch of squares.

I'm not inheritly against different cultures wanting to maintain their values, but I definitely wish people could freely enter and leave their culture.

In the case of Qatar, I can imagine not many women would be interested in staying if it was super easy to switch cultures, but at the same time cultures around the world are beautiful, even if different, and it's a shame that they can't be preserved.

18
- Cultures evolve like anything else. Even language is constantly evolving. Preserving cultures is for museums, not for a growing society. I think that's part of the reason we are in such a shitty place everywhere. 2024 and there's still racist homophobic idiots everywhere trying to preserve the "good ol days"
  
  23
Top of my list of things to not do is visit Qatar.

I was a drunk gay in Qatar.

8
- That seems dangerous. Why did you do it?

Remember to not behave like you're gay kids!

7
You have to respect people. You don't have to respect ideas.

Passively expressing disinterest in another's ideas is part of the very nature of humanity, and is absolutely not disrespect.

The coolest of cool guides.

The easiest thing not to do is to not be in Qatar. At all. Ever.
