It is funny how people ignore major weather changes - in Dubai and elsewhere. In Canada you'd always hear about car pile-ups during the first snow-fall. Hello people - snow! Less visibility and more slippery - drive slowly, leave more space between you and the next car!

Your post is too general I'm afraid.

Roxy, if you'd like to know more about Dubai you could buy Dubai Explorer 10th Edition, Explorer Publishing.

Sniper, what do you mean about people making a big deal about it and taking advantage of the dead people?

Thank you ROM

The racism and abuse of employees that I have seen here is shocking. I understand that many people want to come to Dubai because there is work that they can't find in their home countries, but still - these people are not being paid like they should be, or treated like they should be. I was really p...

ROM, it has been interesting to read your posts, but I still don't see what the beef is. The official word from the US government is that there was dialogue about the concerns of some people, but there is no objection to the deal. Even though two 9/11 hijackers came from the UAE doesn't mean that th...

Why do you keep mentioning all the flaming and fighting? It comes and goes on a bulletin board community - all online communities experience this because people will be people. Are you making a feeble attempt to be nominated for a Wooden Spoon Award? If so, you're going to have to get more drastic. ...

Yeah, and no other countries ever interfere with the governments of neighbouring countries - only the big bad West ever does that :lol: Some people need to take the blinders off. ROM, I think the question about the division of Sunni and Shiia Muslims would be an excellent one. It is a topic certainl...

A very interesting thread! Great discussion gentlemen.

It was a combination of both poor judgement on the part of the newspaper editor and abuse of the situation by radical Muslims. If I were the Danish editor, I wouldn't have published the cartoons because I would not want to offend Muslims in Denmark. I do have to agree though that the media in Denmar...

I've heard the opposite. I have coworkers who would make the same money back home after taking into consideration the cost of living here. Some have already quit and moved home. They are in the technical field, so perhaps this makes a difference. I'd probably choose the same if the money was equal a...

I certainly hope there will be municipality staff and police making their presence more prominent in those areas. Those petnappers need to be caught and punished.

kanelli

If you have PAID for something you should get it, or get your money back. Maybe some people are okay with being walked over and ripped off because hey, there are others who are worse off (nice logic!) - but I would certainly complain.

It's like when all the scaffolding collapsed at the airport tens of men were killed, but no-one appeared to take the blame and the true figures of those that died or were injured were never fully released. I heard 43 dead and 2.5 hours for the first ambulance to show up on site. You have got to be ...

Here's the article from the link. Dubai property: Scenario in 2007 Gulf money by Matein Khalid 29 May 2005 SIR Isaac Newton had his eureka moment under an apple tree and Archimedes in his bathtub. My own eureka moment, the one insight that changes everything, occurred at a cosmopolitan Yuppy party a...

Castellano, whether you like it or understand it or not - free speech is important in many countries. Oh... So why get in trouble when people downplay the holocaust...? Um, in case you haven't been reading... Many people disagree with the fact that in some countries people can't say what they want ...

Maybe the guys should serve 2 years, but also be punished by gang rape :) Then they would know how it feels to be violated and abused. boostah, it is rare for women to cry wolf about rape. Unfortunately, there are always some men who bring up the fact that a tiny percentage of women make false claim...

Admin, can we please get rid of the "fun" filter whenever the word s.e.x or s.e.x.u.a.l is mentioned? Very annoying.

I think the best Topic to debate is "What will be the future in Iraq?" This will cover many topics like: Sunni and Shiaa Different sects of Iraq population (Sunni, Shiaa, Kurds) Democracy in the Middle East The USA interference in our (arabs) internal issues. Personally, i would prefer Saddam staye...

Because UAESAINT the offenders in this case all happned to be locals and that's why everyone thinks they're being given a 'light' sentence. If it had be a gang of other nationalities, they would have been severely punished, that's what's so wring about the whole thing. I am sure that there was a st...

Why the killing if the differences are so little and there is no hard feelings between the groups? If it was really the case that even the US was manipulating the situation (highly highly unlikely!) - how would those groups ever be persuaded to kill each other? Killing fellow Muslims is a sin is it ...

Well .... i am new to this forum ... looking around here and there ... I do respect ppl's opinion ... and i have nothing against that ... But until someone posted ""a sad sad day for all expats indeed, so where do we go from here?" That obviously shows that only expats should be sad & the rest ...

Welcome! I'm keen to hang out with some fellow Canadians at some point. There are some Canadian groups in Dubai - the embassy sends out the info when you register with them.

Did you try the various television and film companies operating out of Dubai Media City? http://www.dubaimediacity.com/

MaaaD, that was a great post.

Great link Jeevan

ROM, you are paranoid and buying into all the Islamophobia. If a UK company can run port operations in the US, why can't a UAE company? There are Muslim extremists in the UK, just as there are in the UAE. Terrorism money flows through the UK, terrorists flow through the UK. Extremists could be worki...
