I can't really answer that SCY as though recent posts may have led others to deem otherwise; I am not an atheist.

Focus on western companies. To them it is not so crucial - i.e. your experience is the main determining factor.

SCY wrote:What Philosophy do you (Atheists) live by?

I know of some atheist philosophers - if that is any help.

There is;

Jean-Paul Sartre

Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Engels

And Karl Marx - abeit manifestos were his main thing.

A website that I use which sells raffle tickets was blocked by Etisalat This does annoy me - I have been doing the National Lottery in the UK for about 5 years now - I don't think I will ever win, but its more the taking part. I buy one ticket a week for 7 AED and I would stop but sod's law says th...

I think the only remote chance the country has is to divide it into separate new republics just like we saw with the former Yugoslavia - which is now a relatively peaceful part of the world.

One part for the kurds, one part for Sunni's and one for Shiites.

Well it appears to be spam disguised as a regular post?

Is that 100000 - 200000 rupees a month or a year?

I have so had enough of my bad connection. I currently have 1mb and its so slow that it cannot even keep up with a youtube stream. For instance if I am watching a 30 second video, i have to pause it while the buffer collects all of the clip first. Not to mention all of the sites blocked. Online gami...

I did air france from Dubai to JFK before. - it did also suck.

I always try to go emirates now.

Me and my missus hold hands and we walk past locals holding hands as well. To be honest I am not into full on face sucking in public so it suits me ok and i thinks its a good balance out here. I was in Germany last week waiting for my flight back - to ageing hippies were going at it tounges and all....

I bump into them a lot at Kuwait airport - at first I gave a wide birth but got talking to one guy from new jersey. He enlisted when he was 17 (before the war) as there was no other work around and quite a bad drug problem in his town. His family had a long military background as well. He could not ...

The bin laden family have to much interest in Dubai for that to happen

hey while I am here what's with the chaps walking round holding hands.

I reckon they are just brothers, pals, cousins.

I will kick it off;

I have DSL - but don't you still get a contention rate at the exchange? I have gone back to using Ethernet which has shown some improvement in the speed and is more reliable. I have one of those crappy Siemens Speedstream the Etisalat gives you - I am sure its not right drops connections from the ne...

Finally got round to buying a sim card.

How do enable it - can't even dial 101 at the moment.

Do i just have to wait two hours like the chap said and I am just being a bit to impatient.

EDIT: Its ok online now.

I wonder if they will confiscate cigarette lighters as most others do now? At heathrow (post AQ trying blow up the airport) they confiscate all lighters (inc Zippos) - As soon as you get through security if your a smoker you go to join a big queue at the store WH Smiths to buy a new lighter to have ...

Though I am not a buddhist (or full time) - these ring a lot of sense to me.... You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

An old man lived alone in Palestine. He wanted to dig his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, who would have helped him, was in an Israeli prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his predicament. Shortly, he received this reply, "For HEAVEN'S SAKE, Dad, d...
