Looks like someone's been on the Manischewitz.

We are 'better off'. Far from just being materialistic, there is an almost endless list of ways in which we (British citizens) are 'better off' than people in the majority of these arab countries.

I'm measuring freedom as just that, freedom! Individual liberty compared to the idea of a coercive state.

I would hardly call it a "massive generalisation" either. It couldn't be considered massive by any stretch of the imagination. Perhaps it's better to think of it as on a scale towards being able to do as we please providing we don't harm others or prevent them from doing the same: we're very close, and arab countries are very far from that goal. That is if freedom is a goal, DCI?

As for your other comment... I just picked up on the fact you've been making those kinds of remarks in a few threads. Pretty petty stuff to be honest. But thankfully you're free to do as you wish (in this country).
