Comments by "Fumble_ Brewski" (@fumble_brewski5410) on "Six Benefits of Incorporating in Dubai" video.

Dubai is a city in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the capital of the Emirate of Dubai. According to the most recent study conducted by Freedom House, the UAE has a rating of 17/100 (100 being the best), and as such is rated "NOT FREE." One may be able to incorporate there for certain tax reasons, but no one in their right mind would ever want to live there. You'd be better off living in Turkey or Jordan than living in Dubai.

@realalexmackenzie You certainly have a valid point about shunning politics if you’re a guest living in a foreign country. I suppose each of us values political rights and civil liberties differently. Having grown up in northern Ohio, just a short hop across the lake from Toronto, we looked admiringly at Canada as a better, more progressive place in which to live. Even the CAD was worth more than the USD (many years ago). It seems as though the English speaking countries (UK, USA, NZ, Canada & Oz) are trying to outdo each other in depriving their citizens of traditional liberties. A sad commentary on modern “democracies”. Cheers.

@AbdellahBerhil Political rights: 5/40....Civil Liberties: 12/60...Combined Score: 17/100 "Not Free" Money isn't everything, my friend.

@___________2204 Political rights: 5/40....Civil Liberties: 12/60...Combined Score: 17/100 "Not Free". The things which you mentioned do not equate with political freedom and civil liberties. Are you willing to exchange freedom and liberties for "shorts and flipflops", my friend? And I'll venture a guess that the privilege of wearing "shorts and flipflops" only extends to males, not females. Cheers and best wishes.

The UAE/Dubai continue to commit serious human rights violations, including arbitrary detention, cruel and inhuman treatment of detainees, suppression of freedom of expression, and violation of the right to privacy. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) continue to deprive stateless individuals of the right to nationality, impacting their access to a range of services. According to Human Rights Watch, the UAE detains those who criticize authorities, including hundreds of activists and academics, and Emirati laws discriminate against women, migrants and LGBT individuals. Flogging and stoning are legal forms of judicial punishment in the UAE due to Sharia courts. As a result, the UAE routinely ranks near the bottom of many international measures for human rights and press freedom. So if money is all you care about, then by all means live in Dubai/UAR. Just keep your opinions to yourself and you'll be fine.

@AnasChemmala "Scores aren't always correct..." Really? Every website and study that I've researched confirms the same results as in my original post one year ago. The UAE/Dubai continue to commit serious human rights violations, including arbitrary detention, cruel and inhuman treatment of detainees, suppression of freedom of expression, and violation of the right to privacy.
