"Tit for Tat" principles is a bad idea to practice in relationships, things will get real ugly real fast !, someone has to throw in the towel if one ever hopes to cover any ground.

Ok lads and lassies, From what I make out from all the information floating around on the internet, Getting a driving license in the UAE is a pain in the you know where . I would like your comments on the following 1. Is it true that their is some amount of discrimination involved in quick license a...

Muslims are difficult to deal with in a working enviroment..., wanting time of to pray and demanding different working times during Ramadan as if it was there God given right ...

Question regarding banking - didnt want to start a new thread on this , Hulkman , Hope you dont make much of me hijacking YOUR thread. I want to ask about the credit card issue, is it impossible to get a credit card there? What are their criteria for issuing a regular credit card ? Do's and Dont's o...

*setting up camp*

Since this point was not mentioned I will do it . Arranged Marriages are a marriage of convenience mostly - Both of them can focus on whatever they want to do and then when the time is right , Boom it happens. Now I am not saying this perfect. But anyone who is out there going night after night , wo...

^^ Thank you again DesertMan

haha about time OIC did this, lets get a widely accepted term like ANTISEMITISM be accepted into people's dictionary , Its unfortunate OIC is very bullish in taking effective action.

OH crap ! ,I so wanted to do that, Ok I CLAIM OWNERSHIP OF GALAXY ANDROMEDA , READ IT AND WEEP

Part of the success to my escape was to use Emirati's own culture against themselves, all along. 2 examples The purpose of the abaya is to "ghost" women, so when you know it, you wear one and you become invisible, because after all, that s what men want for their women, modesty is a no br...

This is nonsense. Why can't you just take the prayer time out of your lunch time? That's what people do at where I work. I've never come across people, in the UK that is, wanting to finish at different times during Ramadhan. Then again, people stop fasting here at around ~7pm. Excellent point , and...

Well , it was not long ago that an american president could be impeached for mild hinting at anything antisemetic , members of congress, corporations tremble at saying anything against the jews. But to say anything against any other faith whatever it might be was acceptable. I am uncertain of other ...

. You have got to be kidding. How is counselling going to help the 3 legged offspring? Also nobody is going to go a clinical contolled study to create deformed children - thats ridiculous. There is enormous scientific research on this issue without any physician asking for clinical trials to be con...

Definitely in the situation of more rural areas that have a lack of access to proper education would have some problems. But if you see in history marriages within tribes or a community was the norm. And they did that for a variety of reasons, the same idea has trickled down to today. If it was comp...

All I am saying is "it will happen and continue to happen" regardless of the amount of education given. So the idea of cure by prevention is far fetched idea, controlling the problem is more practical imho

*science lesson ahead* Mr. Herve - I would disagree to the fact that genetic medicine could not be formulated, the entire human genome is mapped but only 10% of it is understood. The errors are produced when the genetic material of the sperm combines with the genetic material of the egg. Its a lock ...

... it was as if I had declared a war on the UAE! I have to say to second Bethsmum that the worst candidates I ever had to interview were Emirati's... I would like to add that the abhorrent attitude which you faced is quite similar in some if not all the GCC countries. This behavior is an epidemic ...

If, and even if a medicine came up for the sake of allowing marriages between cousins, which can only be in a long future, and by then the Emirati's would be long extinct anyways or reduced to tomatoes, Agreed. Indeed an inevitable event! but then it would become an ethical problem for those who ma...

DubaiKight - Thank you for your detailed replies , they were very informative. But I still dont understand, why you need a license to do this ? Are you saying a license is required when you intend to do jumps on you own ? or are you saying this some legal garbage everyone has go through ? Do you min...

Now this is very alarming news, are they worse than the saudi ?

To those who know what the MORALITY POLICE IS I wanted to know know if there is an equivalent of that the UAE, I understand that dxb is the more relaxed of all the emirates. But what about the others ? My profession involves dealing with a lot of businesswomen in general , some meeting are more info...

Fantastic information , I'll take your suggestion of getting that license, hopefully those courses you mentioned are affordable to the regular folk

Im sure uae must have many places where you could rent out one and wreck havoc on the beach goers , Any jetski fans here suggest a good place to do it ?

What about an obvious westerner with a local girl? Will that get you stopped, or in the worst case put you in jail? From what I've gathered it only applies to a women who is staying with you. Could someone please clarify. Yes regarding this, DO's and DONT's of the whole dating situation would be in...
