Well the calls on the topic of to beach or not to beach in a bikini were as far flung as the people lathering up with sunscreen in Dubai.
Ali suggested that if you go to a public beach half naked you are asking people to look at you so stop complaining!
SMS messages reminded us that this is a Muslim country so respect the fact that the state is driven by religion!
An unidentified caller suggested that if the state really wants to stop the beach problem they simply need to arrest the offenders on the spot, put them in jail overnight and the problem will be solved!
Hmmmm.
Again there was an undercurrent of nationals feeling that they have had their beach and their country in general taken from them by expats who seem to think they are owed something beyond the generous pay package.
The result of the conversation?
Keep thinking.
One curious strand of the conversation was that some women felt it was their fault men were harassing them!
Others did not want to contact the police for fear of not being able to prove their case...
What is your take?
James Piecowye took over Nightline in October 2006 until it was canceled in June 2018. The cast and crew of Nightline decided to keep the show going and this is where James posts the notes.
