This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Why would you want to visit Dubai though. It's literally just where people show off their wealth
This is the kinda of person that thinks that Neom is a good and innovative project. Thats just what happens to people who worship money and consumption.
Type of thing I only want made so I can look at pictures and maybe watch a 30 minute b1m video on it. Say "that's cool" then get on with my life. Although I'm probably Saudi Arabia's target audience in this case 🤣
I'm not saying I support it, because there's probably a million better reasons why it shouldn't be made that are better than "it's cool"
This is the kind of person that makes assumptions about people out of thin air. Just because I'm stating facts that are contrary to your preconceived notions, doesn't mean that I support or "worship" things.
Are you asking about my personal opinion or why 15 million people visit it every year?
Personally, I visited many times because my brother studied there for 4 years, and I often transit through Dubai.
But generally, people go there for the numerous tourist attractions and duty free shopping (although, I believe that has been cancelled a couple of years ago).
What do you work for their chamber of commerce or something? You’re not convincing anyone here.
I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything, I'm just stating facts.
