Actually, no, you were blaming the wife for not taking care of her man and justifying men cheating, then saying the man shouldn't do it. Make up your mind! :lol: Your girl will be happy until she finds out you cheat and start blaming her for it. :roll: I take it you don't have any kids yet so have n...

LOL. . . It's a bunch of angered cheap-o subcontinent expats crying fowl over an increase in ancillary costs of sending their children to school. Besides those schools cater for those types of expats in particular. 10 dirhams says this poll and thread will not get any attention here nor in alloexpa...

sorry, double post

kanelli

My friends were complaining about 40% or more school fee hikes occurring every year over the past few years. The schools must be transparent and show exactly why the increases are happening and what alternatives they have looked into to keep the costs low.

kanelli

quatroporte, you just seem really naive and not sure about what exactly you believe. You can't say that a woman should look at what she has done if her man cheats, then say "but" he shouldn't cheat. By saying the woman needs to look at herself as the cause of why her man cheated, that is b...

Here is an online article that reviews research on infidelity. It is 23 pages long... haven't read it all through yet. Very interesting! Maybe none of us know enough about the causes of infidelity... (seems there are too many factors!) Here is one excerpt about gender and infidelity, "Some auth...

Have a baby and join some mom groups - those are nice multicultural clubs.

So sad, such a freak accident. I'll definitely get my brain scanned if I have a bad fall. Also, this and other recent examples show that people really need to wear helmets on the ski hills - both children and adults. A bit of a separate issue from this case, but relevant to some ski injuries of some...

Its not a shakedown, just a "good samaritan" doing his duty. It is illegal to be drunk in public here and you should respect that, even being aware of the law and still breaking it, then getting caught and screaming foul is no justification. You are seriously lacking in brain cells on thi...

They'll never enforce it, just like the hundreds of other traffic violations that occur every day and are ignored by police who drive right by.

If you want to read up on the many theories of where bellydance comes from, where it spread, how it is portrayed, where the costumes and newer practices came from you can read the wikipedia article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belly_dance#Origins No one said it was an Islamic dance meant for any re...

They will fine for a while and then back off, coasting on the fear generated. I remember when they cracked down on tints... hmmm, what do we see on the roads still?

worldguy, you REALLY want to sympathize with the taxi driver. Poor guy, has no choice but to drive a hotel limo (in a seat in AC as compared to the construction workers who work 12hr shifts and work and live in non-AC environments, for example) and no choice but to hustle passengers for more money. ...

According to research talking on a cell phone period, even with a headset is the same level of distraction. As well, it is the same as talking with a passenger in the car. Also, eating and drinking and reading the newspaper and personal grooming are huge factors in many crashes. Why can't people jus...

kanelli

worldguy, you are adding lots of "what ifs" to the story to try to make your passion for the taxi driver sound more palatable to everyone. The original post didn't say anything about how drunk the passengers were. How do you know they didn't just have 2 or 3 drinks each? We can all play th...

Maybe none of us were very familiar with him, but he was special to his family. Condolences to the whole family!

By the way, here is the original post by the woman involved in the incident with the taxi driver. http://www.expatwoman.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=61058&Page=3 The couple were not falling over drunk and had a liquor license. The husband is being charged with being drunk in public because hi...

Two wrongs don't make a right! Showing the birdie to absolute strangers on the road is cheap and crass behaviour, which really can't be justified! Oh please, what kind of visual symbol should we use to communicate to someone in another vehicle that they are driving like and a.s.s.hole? The only rea...

here is a quote that sums up the western attitude to Dubai, including mine, "Dubai is desperate to be loved. It's the kid at school with parents that bought the best and newest games. You go round, play with them, ignore him because he's boring and don't care if you break anything because its ...

I once saw a tourist (male) wearing tight bathing shorts and a t-shirt in MOE. I couldn't believe my eyes. Then there was a tourist who got off a bus to take pics of Jumeirah mosque (during Ramadan) and she was wearing a tight white partially see-through tank top and a short pink mini-skirt. Tourist...

Guys, they had a liquor license. The problem with their situation according to current application/interpretation of the "law" is that if you leave the place where the alcohol is consumed then you are "in public" and therefore arrestable if someone complains. Pretty f$^^ stupid, ...

For one the Pols are bloody hard workers - they EARN their living, they don't just come in and sponge off the state - off ME actually! That's the problem most of us have with immigration, is that the majority of people refuse to integrate, refuse to work and refuse to contribute! These people I hav...

Doesn't everyone want to copy Westerners?

In the West we do it Best! Thought you knew that by now.

kanelli

We did! Played Monopoly by candle light.

kanelli

Well, don't have any stats on that, but likely immigrants from developed countries - based on observations mentioned in my previous post.
