Every couple of pages, some Kiwis are very eager to label Salah as a tard when it's really more likely to be what you said.
For the most part, we're posting here from the comfort of whatever countries we're in, relatively safe and secure in the fact that we're citizens or legal residents of wherever we are. Not so for Salah. One wrong move, and it's back to being cannon fodder for al-Assad. And let's be honest, where he is now isn't that much of an upgrade, too. It's just a convenient country to hide in until something better comes along. Otherwise, it looks like a dump. And then he likely heard from friends and acquaintances who did successfully move to Canada about how much better it is than Kuwait.
It's likely none of us has ever been put in a similar situation that makes us that much more desperate to move. Doesn't help that Salah doesn't have much in the way of skills for a company in a first-world country to hire him and pay for his relocation. He's also not a looker who can hoodwink people on face value alone, no matter how hard Chins tries to force people to think so. We know he's dumb for hitching his wagons to Chins, he probably also knows he is, but unfortunately for him, he's in a position where he likely feels the need to do dumb stuff and we're not. He's also bolstered by the idea that Chins loves him enough for her to push paperwork so he can move abroad. Hell, he gets paid by Chins to stick around and she even made the trip to be there, so surely, in his mind, that must be true.
I honestly dislike sticking up for Salah. His eyebrow raise is annoying as fuck, he did Alaa dirty by allowing Chins to malign Alaa's wife who was nothing but nice to Chins, and he's boring as hell. I just feel that it's reductive to just label him as a tard simply on the basis of sticking with Chins (and for some, his love for Jim Carrey).
I wish she'd just come home, eat an entire wheelchair and do her famous Cousin It impression in nothing but her bra.
