Banning trolls can sometimes make the problem worse. Ignoring them is the best thing to do (admittedly, not the easiest sometimes).

Good luck .

BTW, I sense you are in a lot of pain now. I may disagree with some of what you say because of my beliefs but I do sympathise with you and I do understand this crisis is very difficult to deal with.

If Arniege is not an Zoinist than could he please explain to me why he deleted the qoutes with consulting with me or at least explaining to me why he deleted the qoutes instead of lying to me by using cut&paste excuse. He did explain and they are cut and paste. I found several hundred sites wit...

Rational and objective of course, IMHO (well, I can only speak for myself) .

Fair point .

Also a new law has been drafted to give those laborers rights ..such as the right to go on strike, and complain and go to the authorities. There was something like that in Oman too recently. But will it apply to expats or nationals only? I thought the original draft excluded expat labourers (I don'...

People .... relax. Why all this mud slinging. Its not worth it. You are going to achieve nothing by this discussion. Nothing you say or do will affect the situation in Lebanon or Israel.

The Israeli support for the attacks (I don't know where you got the 80% figure) has a lot of reasons. I thought it was 90%. It was in the Gulf News under the photo of the bomb signing. I saw the figure somewhere else too, can't remember where. Most citizens support leaders in times of war - look at...

No, but some nearby in Ras Al Khaimah/Fujairah/Hatta with some fun roads to drive on, also up Jebel Hafeet, and in Oman once you get past Muscat or through Nizwa area.

I'd be very nervous riding a bike here though.

I believe the baby is used in court as evidence against you for having one out of wedlock, and you both end up in prison then deported.

Hah hah, that's very funny .

You can use your own phone from overseas (if it's not locked) and just buy the card.

I think the Al Wasel prepaid connection works out cheaper in the long run. Phone shops and Etisalat sell them.

http://www.etisalat.ae/ has more.

Try Shuaa or EFG-Hermes - they have offices in DIFC and deal in stocks locally and abroad, and have research departments.

Maybe HSBC too.
