Okay, okay! backing off now... Jesus Christ!

A pretty woman holding a bottle of perfume. Very creative!

where would that be asc?

I ticked "man" and "have s.ex with men" and then chose all the straightest possible answers. I got 13% gayness. Aren't you supposed to be 100% gay when you have s.ex with the same gender?

^ maybe. lol. but i was just testing the test. and yeah, i think this smiley -> <- is totally gay.

ahh.. that's a problem with peoples of 1st world nations. Superiority complex causes one to have problems making friends with the 'lower' peoples.

This thread is trying to mock the issue of having offensive avatars, eh?

eeeeeeeevil! mwahahaha!!!

I don't know in here (DF), but in the real world, I see the bosses (most likely mostly arabs) treat their asian workers (mostly indians I think) like lesser beings.

^ what's that mangled fleshy stuff in your sig PARANOID?

I can't imagine what would happen if all the subcontinentals and east asians suddenly leave dubai...

But... In the US, take away a particular race and the country will still survive. Here, take away a particular race- let's see how the country can handle that. Racism here is so defined unlike that in other countries such as the US. I don't know who will continue buldling those buildings if the indi...

You are right Bushra, Racism is all over the world, and to be honest I have found that the USA is the worst for this. Here in UAE, you are correct, if we don't like it we have a choice. ^ yes Sage, you have a choice, but for the desparate ones don't. So asking them "why not leave?" is als...

Interesting, however in my expereince here the lower paid workers are completely taken advantage of their higher paid bosses, who are of the same nationality by the way. The other interesting thing is, if you go to India, Pakistan, Philipines, Thailand, Bangladesh, Nepal to recruit labour, the line...

Those poor laborers.. Why they don't leave? Probably because 1. they earn more here and apparently they'd rather be treated badly and earn rather than starve in their own country because of lack of jobs there, or 2. they really wanted to leave but their employers really know how to keep their slaves...

Why do you say that?

- If you think jobs depend on race/skin color
- If you start wobbling your head on that particular type of music
- If you think imagination and ideas are almost useless
- If you think having the 'mostest' will automatically earn you respect

In fact, why is the region called as such? It is in the middle of the east of what?

I am aware of the power of women in Dubai. They are too powerful in fact that they can cut lines and call the police when a man violates her. When I say 'violate'I mean, for example, a man stared at her or touches her, etc. This worries me sometimes since anytime, a woman can call the police on you ...

I just read this, and it struck me... http://www.7days.ae/2006/12/09/happy-dxb-mas.html#continueStory To the muslims here: - Are muslims really offended by the christian celebration of christmas? - Do you feel it's celebration here in dubai and in other predominantly muslim nations offending? - Do y...

Well this is the amount of money being transferred by immigrants from GCC countries to Asia only in a year period!! I don't hear anyone complains about it, why?

Yeah, why don't we hear locals complain about it? Maybe because these asians worked hard to earn it?

I didn't get what you just said... All I just said is the truth.
What do you want really?

Call it ''islamophobia'' if you like, I'd call it Islam Double Standards. I went through Ramadan here in Dubai making sure I won't let people see me doing the forbidden things- this is primarily due to respect and because I am in a muslim country, and also because of the fear that if somebody catche...

DUBAI — The Dubai Municipality is scheduled to begin the eviction drive against bachelors staying in residential areas this February. Though the deadline for its completion is February next year, officials say it can take a couple of years. Engineer Walid Abdul Karim of the Building Inspection Depa...

What's the use of praying if ultimately it is the 'will of god' that is followed. Unless man has the power to change that god's will, it's just a waste of time.

What's with this ''families only'' business? I know I am in Dubai and I must respect it's culture but as a generic human being it is getting irritating. Why is it necessary here to separate and allocate special places for families in restaurants, buses, parks, etc?
