Let's just stop all this rubbish and get one thing clear - the world would be nothing without Scottish inventions!! Name a country that has contributed more to the developed world!! :wink: the steam engine, the bicycle, tarmacadam roads, the telephone, television, the transistor, the motion picture...
Gatsby, that is such a short drive and there are so many people who work in Media City in The Greens, The Springs etc. You should try putting a note in your building or at the Choithrams ask about car pooling. My hubby and I will only have one car too because it is more environmentally friendly and ...
I saw it. I think I didn't enjoy it very much because the subject matter was painful to watch, as you said. Maybe I like my entertainment to be more uplifting and inspirational
The same thing happened with the movie Happiness - It got rave reviews, but I hated it.
The standard of journalism in the articles is pretty poor in the 7 Days paper, but 7 Days is the only paper that really knows and reports what is going on on the ground, so to speak. For this reason, 7 Days can be very valuable.
Speaking of 7 Days... Have you all seen that there are now at least three Etisalat WASEL customers who are now reporting that they have been subscribed to GPRS without their authorisation and are being charged money for it? It was reported in the Letters to the Editor section over the past few days....
Just because women are interested in different subjects that don't pay as much money and aren't considered as rigorous (e.g. Engineering etc.) doesn't mean that women are less intelligent.
Women are already working hard. In this modern day, across many cultures, women are expected to work full time and be successful and advance in their career, while raising children and looking after the household chores. Unfortunately, many men are just working full time and then looking after their...
Let's start a reading list for people who want to learn more about Islam. The main motivation for me starting this thread is that I am getting tired of all the propaganda and want to bring out balanced information that helps people understand Islam (including myself!). RULES OF THIS THREAD 1. No con...
Castellano, there have been many threads on this topic. I am interested in learning more about Islam, hence my Islam Reading List thread. I pose a similar question. Why do people who claim to want more people to understand Islam and not stereotype, go ahead and stereotype about the West constantly. ...
My opinion is that it is none of anyone's business whether that Muslim girl lost her virginity to a non-Muslim guy she wasn't married to. If people believe in a god and that god forbids such actions, then just let god deal with it! He's the boss afterall...
Well, there are still women out there who don't fall for all the sex hype in the media, and who have few or only one partner their whole lives. They get teased because they aren't outwardly sexy and were/are still virgins for a long time. It is great if parents can raise girls to withstand the tempt...
The next time an article appears on an Internet site propagating anti-Israel hatred it should be the basis for legal action. No one has a right to use the public airwaves to incite hatred against another country or its people. It should be a crime to preach hatred against another country or its peo...
And I'd like to point out that you can't work on a relationship if she isn't in the country. Also, divorces take time and if she is working here she should be allowed to keep working whether you are separated or not. She will need money to support herself after the divorce, so don't deprive her of t...
Liban, perhaps you missed the point. Bainerman is Jewish and his article has been quoted here and supported by people who claim to dislike Jews. The man makes some good points - so perhaps not all Jews are not as evil and against the Arab world as some people claim them to be? Intimacy, I can see th...
Liban, you post general statements again! Do you ever tackle a subject beyond one-liners? If you've answered this before then get off your ass and cut and paste the relevant info into this thread. It isn't feasible to have a discussion splitting into different threads. Initially, I wasn't talking ab...
