I wonder what the breakdown is of nationalities is in the UAE army. I suspect like everything else they will pay other people to do it for them.

Lieutenant General Dhahi Khalfan Tamim said the move was intended to protect the UAE's young people from "pornographic" and "anti-religious" content on Google owned video sharing site YouTube No wonder they wanted to block video's of Sheikh Issa!!! They don't want their kids grow...

[quote="Misery Called Life"]Hey Smoggie don't listen to these clowns. Ur supposed to procure ur id card..Period! The reason I asked was because it does seem to have disappeared from the media. Somebody mentioned it to and I thought I would check it out. In my opinion it will not get off th...

I tried that Bikram Yoga at STRETCH and it was excellent. Done in 42 degrees of heat for 90 minutes. OUCH! When you finish your heart feels like it is bursting out of your chest! Unfortunately the timings were not convenient for me so I had to stop. Would love to find something similar though. Smoggie

It's difficult. Very difficult. The imagination runs wild!

What is a "legal demo" in Dubai? I was always under the impression that demonstrations were banned but I note with interest that there has been demo's outside of the Iranian consulate. Also there was pro Palestinian protest a couple of years ago. Are demo's legal when the subject matter su...

Is this something to do with the breast cancer awareness campaign?

smoggie

so let me get this right. This savage kills somebody and is given a sentence of 3 years and allowed to roam the streets because he can afford to pay AED1m? What sort of world do we live in and what sort of system are we governed by? The money should have been taken in compensation and the execution ...

"and who are you to determine what is best for the victim family ? they had both choices in hand and choice what they saw best or justifying enough ... I'm not arguing about the blood money but there is something called ( mercy and forgiveness)" Where is the justice for the victim? "m...

Firstly, I never said that Dh1m makes up for losing a child, especially through a murder like this. Secondly, If he had killed my child, i would probably have killed him. I was just making the point that things work differently in this region, and punishments and penalties can make it seem like som...

at last common sense prevails.

How are the police aware that certain two people could be having a relationship? I mean you certainly don't see the police going around and questioning all couples they see. So how are police intimated in such cases? Is this purely a case of vendetta where the police are given leads and then they a...

Well with a good lawyer he would have pleaded temporary insanity or some other crock like that and got away scott free in the U.S or where ever. Here he spent time in the slammer plus payed a lot of blood money. Which the family may have accepted as now there bread winner of the family is gone. Alt...

again , where is the Double Standards ? they both got the same jail time for being alone with each other only (which is a stupid law since it is in a work place), the other 2 charges are dropped, but the diff is that she is an expat and will be deported and will have to be in jail untill the doport...

"He had been sentenced to six months in jail by a lower court on the two charges but was released immediately."

"she was taken back to the jail where she has spent the last 36 days."

smoggie

Both were convicted of a crime that was not proven.

He was treated differently to her. she is deported and has to live with the stigma of that. She has already served way more than 30 days.

I would like to know who and why the original complaint was made.

No it's not sheer stupidity! The man committed the crime because his ego was hurt.It's about ego!

Correct. Ego rules in this part of the world.

Yes. We expect the system to protect us from these savages.

I have worked in my present company for almost 10 years. I have never been late and never had a days sick. I consistently work 12 hour days and sometimes over weekends.

"If they dont like it, they can always leave" ..... Its the thin end of the wedge, only just beginning, I for one truly hope that there are some more regimes with the nuts to start fighting back. Never thought I would say it but - kudos to the French :) Yes. Was thinking the same thing ma...

Ofcourse the french banned jewish symbols in their schools, because they were helping the nazis terminate the jews. The french dont like the jews. And I got news for you, they dont like muslims either. All the muslim immigrants in their inner cities are driving the french nuts. They dont know how t...

I'm not keen on anybody north of Billingham and South of Thornaby!

smoggie

Yeah, I would agree with that. at the end of the day the UAE is still a VERY young nation.... being formed out of local tribes etc. The pressures of trouble and strife have obviously not affectd this country so there has been nothing to kick off about. The leadership gives it's people a certain degr...

The dude must be being his rude and arrogant labanese self that got him into trouble in the first place. I had a Pakistani friend who had quite a few stickers of naked and near naked women on his jeep. The cops stopped him and nicely asked to please remove those stickers and he complied and went on...
