why the fuck would anyone in their right mind want to raise their kids in the middle east? Especially if you had a daughter.
That would entirely depend on how ignorant they are about how the world really works. Especially if you had a daughter.

Mitch, why don't you comment on the rape victim getting arrested instead of the rapist? Don't want to comment on such a heinous thing that would make Dubai look bad?
In Dubai you could surf out of one too!Tunnel aquariums are bitchin.

Sure. If what was reported was accurate it was fucked up beyond belief. That's a big if. I'm not saying it didn't happen, i'm saying that the press throws a lot of bullshit out there. Dubai doesn't have exclusive rights to press bullshit.
Let's just say it happened EXACTLY as reported. Would it concern me? Fuck yes. Would I judge an entire country on it and determine whether I should bring my kids up here? Fuck no. No more than I would look at Columbine and say "Fuck sending my kids to school in the US". Because that would just be fucking ignorant.

That's a pretty shitty comparison
Its completely different. One is the accusation that a government (the police) is condemning a victim (which actually IS representative of a country on the whole), while Columbine was citizens acting AGAINST the government.
Your example would work closer to the Dubai story if you said, "I'm scared of sending my kids to school in the US because if they are victims to a school shooting like Columbine, the US government will arrest them for being involved".
Arresting someone for getting raped would intuitively be like arresting one of the victims that lived in Columbine for getting shot.
A stiff wind could collapse that entire place
