Dubai Forums

Hello folks!!! Just got back to Dubai!!! I had checked in every so often -- not much has changed, other than some disagreements have escalated. LOL I hesitate to talk about my holiday (What did you do?? thread) as I see that someone would rather post about their holidays and not be subjected to hav...

Thanks :) Two birds. One is trying spread its wing for sunbathing but accidently hits the face of another bird standing near. Do you think you make be able to capture the satelite that will come crashing to earth tonight with your fast shutter? Oh and thanks for sharing, very nice photos!-- Fri Sep...

general_a is a man too! or so he tells us

:D I guess a nice side-effect of eh painting himself in a corner, is that we have fewer of his posts here now. I guess this list of questions he's avoiding is a very effective troll remedy! Cheers, Shafique You'll have to argue with yourself sunshine! You have been known to repost your posts and an...

No but there is a big difference, I'm English and you are Mauritian

Sunshine, it's not only about spending time with children nowadays, unfortunately. Muslim women tend to sit at home on their backsides so more than likely these large families only have one income. How do they finance large families without the help of the taxpayer? I find it's the less well educate...

What evidence? I want to see the stats!

Ambassador, why are we talking in USD? I had to dust my google converter off!

My first wage was $6.95 per week, yes, per week. I worked 40 hours per week.

My pleasure. I thought you seemed lonely

There is a big difference between being English and having a British passport. Even I know that.

I know many families who have more than 3 kids in the UK who are raising them well and not having to rely on benefits/handouts. A good number of them are sending their kids to private schools and all aspire to send the kids on to uni. And yes, I do think that 'when they are churning out these kids'...

I'll give you the details of my Muslim friends in the UK (all either children of immigrants or first generation immigrants - and many come from large families themselves, as well has having larger families): Those sending kids to private schools are professionals in banking, IT, law etc - those who...

Try looking in the mirror

Why are Muslims always needing answers?

Oh come on sunshine! If there is one thing you shove down people's throats, it's that you are Muslim! If anyone comes on England bashing or bashing the Royal Family (of which I'm not a particular fan) do you ever speak up? No, you do not. There are plenty of things the matter with England but if you...

shafique wrote:BM - did you speak to the Baroness or are you just sharing your opinion with us?

Cheers,

Have you been hit on the head by a coconut or something? The Baroness was talking about large Muslim families claiming benefits not your merchant banker friends.

I know you are no teenager but $6.95 per week are 16th century wages :shock: 17c actually Ambassador, but I look remarkably well for my age. My dad was in the RAF and I was dragged around the world from the age of 4. I went to 4 different Grammar Schools in the same number of years. As soon as I ma...

So the Baroness is only having a go at poor Pakistani and Bangladeshi immigrants - the ones that are better off and have larger families - these immigrants are ok and aren't having kids for the benefits. Hmm. You know, I re-read the OP and I couldn't quite see where she specified this. But, if it i...

Isn't it a matter of choosing to ask 'why' rather than blindly believing what one is told? I've questioned every aspect of Islam and tested against logic - and indeed I apply this to all the beliefs I hold. I find it illogical to think it is ok to believe something that offends logic. Cheers, Shafi...

Your silence on numerous topics speaks a thousand words IMO. The likes of you won't be happy till you've taken over my country. Why can't you just accept that most English people want their country to remain a white anglo saxon Christian community? If you lot can't just melt into the background and ...

Nutter. What sort of name is that?

Why should any normal person need to be told to respect their parents?
Can't Muslims do anything without being instructed to by the Quran?
That's a bit sad isn't it?

Looks like a total beat up to me. They don't have gloves or head protection because they are grappling, not boxing. I did something similar when I joined a judo club as a kid. Of course you have to read the whole article to get the facts. Surely judo is a martial art, blueshift? This looks like two...

I hope that soon we see Palestine achieve its goal of a free state. They deserve it. I agree, statehood you have to deserve. And Pali's donot deserve it IMO. They have no respect for democratic values whatsoever (both Hamas and PA are dictatorships), they are divided to the core, corrupt (their fin...

^^^Has a sore bottom after all his medical procedures.

Never been to Vagas, Ambassador, I've never really fancied it. But my eldest daughter got married there a few years ago and she said it was ok but didn't go overboard. She stayed at the Bellagio which she thought would be quite nice but says it wasn't a patch on Al Qasr in Dubai. She had to line up ...

As predicted one tries spin and the other fluff ( but kudos for sticking to the only thing she is good at, as instructed ), turining it into a combination of fluffy spin. No real points or arguments brought forward, result. FAIL You brought anti-semitism and halocaust denial into it first munchkin!...

That was a rousing speech sweetie! You almost made me want to join the IDF

BM, why do you believe that Shaf isn't english? Is it because he isn't white? Whats the real reason? Surely its not because he as you put it "doesn't stand up for his country", not even sure if there is a case for that but anyway what does being english mean to you? If you have a british ...

Now munchkin, whatever do you know about what goes on in the UK? I'm sure the Baroness knows what she is talking about, she's not making it up as she goes along you know. Everybody everywhere works the system in someway or the other, including the system itself. That's exactly the problem you see! Y...
