From what I see a lot of ME men have a really screwed up idea about blond women in mini skirts. I blame Hollywood.

I'm thinking it could be the woman sitting in the window half dressed beckoning the men saying " I te koop. zeer goedkoop". :D

Now that's more like it sunshine! You're welcome.

Thanks to you too, for the geography lesson, although I lost the will to live about half way through.

The essence of keeping the audience interested is to keep it short and sweet. I learn that on my comprehension course 8)

But I dont particularly look up to them because of their wealth. I do like the vision of the people that made Dubai what it is. And that was not just the Emiratis! The blood, sweat, and tears (to quote one of your leaders) of many Nationalities went into it.
As for the Paki labourers feeling grateful. Should they really? They work in horrible conditions, and get paid a pittance for it. Do you mean to say they should be grateful and accept being kicked on their backsides gratefully? Then the same argument should apply to everyone: Herve should be grateful for having been allowed to construct his toy submarines and shouldn't complain because nowhere else could he have indulged this fantasy.
You know I ask a lot of poor people in Pakiland whether they would like to go to Dubai etc as labourers and in 9 out of 10 cases I get a reply in the negative.

UAEBadoo, I didnt mean to sound racist. I meant that only the very idiotic people amongst the Emiratis could think that all Pakis are labourers. Brainless twits are every where, Pakistan has a very large share of them.


Nice one Zonker. My favourite Pakistani in the whole wide world. A gentleman!

As for the length - that was the short version. :)

I didn't mention the Persian/Iranian links Gulf Arabs have, for example. :D

Some time ago I had a project in NL, with some Saudi's. Towards the end of the week one guy hinted he wanted to see the Red Light District. Friday after work I took him and gave him the tour. While walking around, he suddenly started to talk to prostitutes, asking personal question like "do your parentsknow?", "do you like what you are doing", "aren't you afraid of diseases" etc. To my surprise the ladies were nice about it and answered in a normal way. Until he started another conversation, he then suddenly asked "what's the most disgusting thing you did". She answered "I'll answer, if you say first whats the most disgusting thing you did". You would think a prostitute in the RLD would have heard it all and nothing would surprise her. He said something short close to her ear and I couldn't hear. But her reaction was furious. She started shouting and swearing. In no time a guy was standing next to her (her pimp?). He started swearing and shouting too. I recognize a bad situation and started running, he after me. The pimp started throwing glasses in our direction, but we made it! The Saudi guy wouldn't tell me what he said afterwards.

Geez FD! A scarey moment! LOL
I wonder what the Saudi was telling the lady about his most disgusting act? :shock:

I wonder if it involved an animal of some discription?

I have to admit the thought of animals + humans freaks me out! Yuk, but I guess it happens, Errr :shock:

I don't think Zonker needs to account to anyone for his taste.

It seems perfectly ok to me :D

but that doesnt make things any better. Just because there is racism in Zimbabwe, China and Denmark doesnt make it right here or anywhere else.

Passively accepting discrmination because it exists elsehwhere will never improve society...
