Buddy, I understand reading such crap could evoke some pretty strong emotions but retaliating by generalizing racial slurs doesn't address the issue - rather compounds the problems.

Exactly X. Some people know how to prove their superiority only by putting others down.

they are actually showing their inferiority in doing so.

and one more thing im local and yes we owne this place ..u know why cuz we were born here when we used to eat shiits and scorpions ..tell me did ur ppl come here 40 year ago ..so stfu .

I agree that shaiks pay, but let the shaik know that he is not paying for nothing, people come here and work in that hot weather, leaving his family and freinds behind, whereas the shaik will be sitting in his office and sipping coffee. imagine any gulf country without the expats, there would not have been any roads or buildings!
Again after the Dallas Austin case, everyone has more respect for shaiks

Calm Down Everyone!

Those of you who havnt read my other thread, please remember that Jason is having problems and I ask you all to ignore him as his he does not take his treatment as often as he should.

Also please note that Jason does not work at the University, he hasnt been allowed out of the house since he was caught in one of the Mall of the Emirates toilets doing something he shouldnt (say no more), since then he has been under house arrest as the police await his medical and mental reports.

I have suggested that maybe Jason is suffering from sexual tension (wouldnt you if you are still a virgin at 34?).

So please accept my apologies.

Yes, Mom, I think he deserves a good sheikh.....

Yeah, try working in a high school or university in a big city in the UK or the US, for example. Or try even walkin down the street at night in some places.
Kinda puts queue jumping and a bit of illicit alcohol into perspective.

lolz funny post

deal with it sheikhs own the place

and yeah not every guy who weras a kandoora , ghatra is a sheikh

An obvious sign are the 2 or 3 digit plated cars.

I once saw a 30-seater minibus with three-digit Dubai plates. It was disturbing.

A sheikhmobile......................cool. Guess you were a bit sheikhen up?
Ok, I'll stop now.

you have to admit that you get a good laugh from it....


:sigh:


nothing intersting ever happens here now

Strange I found driving in Dubai very nice and slow paced compaired to Houston new york city or San fransico.

I agree that it is a personal choice. BUT I am afraid Islam does not allow womanising and alchol and for very good reasons.

Womanising and all that promotes the woman 'trade' which demeans women. Alcohol intoxicate your brain and you end up doing nasty things like cause accidents, mistreat people or do self-harm. Smoking is bad for you and you become a burden on the state when you get fall ill due to smoking.

Yes there are a lot of things which seem personal, but when you look at them closer they have an impact on society.

Somebody said there was no womanizing ther but there is it is just hidden. My Gf gets phone calls for date from her CV online an some even pretend to have a job till you meet them,Then they get aggressive. Worst womanizing place on the planet they just try to hide it.

Hey dude,

You are right, sometimes it is irritating when someone cuts in your Q. Happens to me all the time ever since im here in Dubai. Im a Chinese Malaysian and i have alot of Muslim friends in Kuala Lumpur. They drink alcohol too, but there all nice people and we respect each other. In Malaysia, we live in a multi cultural society similar to Dubai. I feel that we just need to control our temper abit in everything we do. Maaad, dont be heart broken. ..hehehe.

My humble opinion.

Cheers baba90

You sound like you are too young to know how to have your own opinion

All over the world, you find nice and corrupt people

And if the cheiks are that horrible, the English, American and yourself wouldn't be going to live in Dubai!

I am Arab from Tunisia and I am proud of what this country has achieved in a short period.

If you are not happy , come and live in the UK

skillipedia wrote:You sound like you are too young to know how to have your own opinion

that is the worst begining sentence to an argument i have ever seen....

everyone is entitled to have their own opinion regardless of their age.

I just saw this post, i know its too late to reply but the whole thing does NOT make sense..

I know many Sheikhs (people from the ruling family), most of them you wouldnt know who they are..

Many people act like sheikhs and eventually get in trouble, plus the sheikhs (most of them) wouldnt like people to do wrong this, and they see themselves as role models..

Like someone said before, every country has good and bad people, and i see many expats in the UAE (mostly european - no offence), some of them just come in front of me when I (UAE national) am standing in a Q and refuse to stand in line unless I make a big issue out of it only because they think everyone else will believe them..and their driving is very bad as well..

Everyone just has the idea in mind and many people make stories about having problems with sheikhs, think about it, if they dont want to wait in line, they dont have to, they can ask any person that works for them to get them whatever they want, they can have mcdonalds at home if they wanted to..

Just think about it and be reasonable..

well i am not sure how i ended up in this section, but it was an interesting read. and as to my first post, some thoughts: i am soon to live in the UAE for the first time and the way i see it - people are people, and all things relative...we have more in common that not (and as a disclaimer - i am not a hippie, but have made this observation via experience over time after having lived in a few different countries). as i begin to move into the UAE and set up business there i think to myself ~ "hey, it is their country...they set the rules...they can do what they want...they seem to make it reasonably easy for new people with new ideas to come in there and do business and play a part in a growing economy and a new model for the gulf, and as such i should be grateful for the opportunity and invitation and say 'thank you' to its leadership that makes it possible."

if i am off base please correct me. Thanks

On the other hand they need all the expats for their success.
No matter if you are a construction worker from India, a Pilot from the UK, a water engineer from the netherlands or whatever.
And when I read in the Gulfnews that UAE Government is thinking about discounting Food and Fuel for Locals this has nothing to do with a give and get attitude.

"Don' t bite the hand that feeds you" is unknown in the UAE.
If you know and accept this and close your eyes for certain things you can have a descent live.

Totally off topic but just my 2 cents

But Dubai is allowing prostitution.....how ?!!!!

Dubai does not allow prostitution but tollerates it.

Man it is simple, money rules.
people without money in dubai have all sorts of issues, while people with it can have a dream life. the ones caught in the middle, well they are completely dependent on their luck!
personally, i have had a couple of bad incidents with locals, but thats ok. I am in their country, and you cant expect every1 to be hospitable, and they are not bound to be. We are all here becauze of our own selfish reasons, not because LOCALS are forcing us to be here. So, the compromise we have to make being Asians (Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, whoever..) is to have low self-esteem. We are having a better lifestyle here than our country, and we should be thankful for that. To be honest, we are here because we are better off here than in our homeland. So to expect the same respect as in our homeland is unreasonable and uncalled for.
All the above said, a humble request for everyone living in Dubai is to treat a person on his/her merit and not based on nationalities. Together, we are all contributing to the growth of this place, and everyone has almost equal contribution here.
I can understand Jason's outburst, but he is himself responsible for all that coz he chose to be here.
Similarly, I am here to make more money and have a better job, and its Ok if I get a little mistreatment. What I am quite confident is that If I stay clear of arguments, fights, altercations, crimes, no one will mess with me. I believe the same goes with every other Expat here.

See my friend,
Not only in arab countries, everywhere in world there are good people and bad people. So it is not fare to abuse all the arabs. I know well alot of good arab people and even bad also.

But i feel nowadays the number is increasing in bad side.

Ha ha ...tolerates? really? I feel it is one of the main business in DUbai allowed by the government itself.If this stops....there will be a major hit for business in DUbai ( worser than economic crisis)

you dont mind if someone treats you like a door mat? what kind of no dignity low-life are you?

Sheiks own the place because nothing is done without their promotion
they who are organize it.

and believe me Dubai without them Unbearable
one point, in uae their are different standards in which some poeple such Sheiks and whome refered to superiority have the right to do things but others NOP !
by the way, your words are rude you could instead type another with some of kindess.
