Blinkered view.This refers to Proud Bahraini (GDN GDN Garden (postal suffix) GDN Gdansk, Poland - Rebiechowo (Airport Code) GDN Global Data Network GDN Goods Dispatch Note GDN Global Disaster Network (Yahoo group) , July 22). Over the last 30 years I have enjoyed meeting many Bahrainis, but luckily I have never met this xenophobic xen·o·phobe n. A person unduly fearful or contemptuous of that which is foreign, especially of strangers or foreign peoples. xen . Many of us love this country with its generous people, however, if law and order does not prevail, we can't condone illegal acts under any circumstances, irrespective of irrespective of prep. Without consideration of; regardless of. irrespective of preposition despite nationality. Look at Proud Bahraini's mindset mind·set or mind-set n. 1. A fixed mental attitude or disposition that predetermines a person's responses to and interpretations of situations. 2. An inclination or a habit. regarding crimes being committed worldwide and accusing the expats of bringing this scenario to Bahrain. I have only seen blinkers blinkers 1. rigid pieces of leather fitted to a head harness at a point where they will obstruct the horse's lateral vision. 2. a more sophisticated piece of harness worn by expensive horses consisting of a canvas head-covering with holes for the ears to protrude and two fitted to unwilling horses as it restricts their area of vision, much akin to Proud Bahraini's capability. His example given over manslaughter being committed over 500 fils, but if the facts are examined it was all over a BD1 bill for the welding work on a car that the unfortunate car owner didn't even want to pay the expat. Logic appears to be lost on this person when he blames the rape victim for not reporting the illegal act immediately, but attaches no blame whatsoever to the welding victim. I can imagine him considering arson is acceptable dependent on the victim's origin. Thank goodness that law and order applies to all of us in Bahrain, including the odd xenophobic.
