Dubai Forums

Reply brought in a separate issue. Ok my bad, it is a general topic, but it is difficult to follow a discussion like that. And people may have lots of other things to do, but then somebody might complain people don't want to discuss the issues. I don't really see the point anyway, if you pay attenti...

Doesn't look that way in Egypt, Syria probably is a different story though.

Normally people are not polarized and get along well, but things take different turn in conversation when they have so much common ground. And from practical perspective I personally know people who have worked on women issues and they have been very successful with a different approach. So polarizi...

Continue here.

The recent exchange of views has been passionate and largely free of trolling posts - a refreshing change from many threads of late. That is one. Here is another: We may not agree each other on everything (probably the specifics) but we can respect and embarce the differences and commonalities. How...

this thread is not for arguments, don't do this in this one please.

You are stirring things again when we can have a thread without any arguments for a change.

Measures have been made against this, keeping passport is illegal now and payment to workers for companies must be made through bank or some other 3rd party money transfer so govt can see who is not paying their workers on time.

It may but then where this migration will transfer? Seems like Europe doesn't want them there. From personal experience workers I know get paid on time, but bad cases happen and relatively it is a small percentage. Most companies pay their workers on time.

Thanks Shaf for point that out.

Trouble with the world is people get emotional too quickly. On the other hand, same people reach out to help when they see the other in trouble. So for most people compassion and empthy is already it just have to utilitized. There will be some people would want to incite violence, but if more people...

Looks similar but it is not mine, unless it is edited.

Not bad

It shouldn't be too much to ask that the UAE government controls the ruthless agents, and enforces the labour rights of the workers. For example, the living conditions should be sanitary and comfortable. The salary should be exactly as promised, the vacation time should be as promised, they should ...

I don't have issues women speaking out against women problems I personally know women who have gone to villages helped women educate, worked against female infecticide, worked against laws, or patriarchal mistreatment of women. One example I gave http://www.tejaspatel.com/2010/02/hats-off-to-masarat...

And what world order that is?

Nucleus, are you saying that this thread was not directed at me? It wasn't specifically directed at you, it was a general forum post. Did you mean female infanticide? Yes. How about you men? When is the last time you were actively trying to support women's issues like fair treatment under the law. ...

You are coming like telling a nun to take off scraf and dress differently like that would improve women issues.

kanelli wrote:That is completely untrue. After all that I posted it makes me really sad that that is what you came away with.

Sorry, if I misunderstood, but it felt that way.

Birds photography is difficult you need to be fast with the camera and able to predict movement of birds. Keep practicing, you will know what to do.

It is for govt employees (including govt owned companies), they are probably doing this to save Abu Dhabi property market, lot of units are about to come up in Al Reem Island soon. Rental prices and property prices will slide down really fast if there are not many tenants available to rent.

Yea but I guess they can't clearly say they want more demand in abu dhabi property market. How it will affect Dubai property market? Lot of people live in Dubai and work in Abu Dhabi. I know cpl of people live here in Dubai and work in Abu Dhabi including locals. Singles esp prefer to live in Dubai....

^ I agree and I'm not sure it will make a major difference for Abu Dhabi property market, lot of units are coming up in Al Reem Island. Except few good quality ones, most will go down in prices and rents still. --- Mon Sep 17, 2012 11:27 pm --- Add to that majority of the small apts are actually cho...

Usual way of finding people is to put ad in news paper or look in a place where that person likely to hangout. Later may borderline on stalking.

If you know anyone in Dubai who can do this, then that is the best option.
