I guess the thread got a little jucier while i was not on the forums, because at the point I left nothing seemed wrong with it.

Dude, most of my posts get deleted nowadays Not "in" with the Dictator

I think that Fayz's thread should have been left here on general - even with the bad language and flaming - it deserved an exception to the rules. I think someone either works in or should get a job in the "moving" business. And why the hell does every post that gets moved has to have an ...

Well I do think it's nice that Sage lets us know why he moves threads by adding the explanation. I'm just wondering why the particular offending posts aren't edited instead of moving the entire thread.

I think it might require, what's that called, wait, I got it: thinking!

Because you know it Bushra. If Bush or Blair were assassinated there would be threads on it and they would be allowed to stay on the forum with all the people gloating and celebrating. Jamal's rules for respecting the dead only apply to the tyrants he prefers. Funny enough K, many of these western ...

now this is funny - thread deletions! oh gawd! If Bush and Blair's Christmas day lynching (complete with taunts and jeers) were to take place consequitively in Washington and London at the hands of the invading Pan-Arab military with the help of some White pro-Pan-Arab puppets (oh man, is that an i...

Saddam = Dead

Pinochet = Still Dead

Milosevic = Dead and Dusted

Castro = Probably Dead

Good thing.

Not priceless. Worth a laugh or two.

The first article posted was an inflammatory piece of crap that indeed could have been assigned a C if it were a high school essay. For this reason, many of the atheists here don't even want to touch it. As well, there has already been a thread on atheism recently. Freza, you have not even been abl...

It's the way Saddam died and who actually decided his death (and that sham trial) that makes it all wrong. Is this so difficult for some of you to understand? Apparently... But this is the point we're making. The Iraqis decided his fate. He led a party that represented 20% of the population and rul...

Maaad you running the Dubai marathon?

Hi All I got an offer from Dubai. They will be paying me 12k Dhrm.(No accomidation). Job designation is SENIOR BDM. Can anybody help me whether this offer is good to consider living in Dubai. I am married,Its certain that my wife would also work in Dubai.I wish to bring my family after 3 months. So...

Maybe the US should have backed out when Saddam Invaded Kuwait and let him march on. Yeah I know the replies so save them (US was protecting its oil, blah, blah, blah,). As I understand it the UAE was crapping in its collective shorts and drafted all able males immediately after the invasion in 1990...

move it to "games forum" its like ping pong (a game ain't it).

You should they are fun. Unless of course the conspiracy theories are a conspiracy onto themselves [i think there is medicine for that]

$20K more per month or per year? If per year I would say NO. So since you will not be taxed does not mean you will be earning (gross salary) less than in Australia - or you haven't considered that it will be tax free. By the way were would you be "routing" your family to? Too much time wit...

Even if the US was helpful in the case of Kuwait, it doesn't erase their previous or subsequent meddling. I know it is the real world that countries use and manipulate, make friends, break friends with other countries - but some meddling has far reaching repercussions - sometimes for the good, some...

Now we don't have to get that extreme... We know for a fact that isolationism just wouldn't work. Give me an example of a country with the wealth of the USA (or even close) that tried isolationism. Lots of resources (humand and otherwise) are being spent helping others whose only gratitute is to cr...

freza wrote: Concord, do you have kids?

No, I don't like goats.

Besides, I'm way too young to have kids (the human little buggers) - I can't even feed myself.

Where did I say that?

Yesterday Oprah opened a school complex in South Africa which she funded ($40M). The school is for young girls who would not otherwise have the opportunity. Amazing modern complex (28+ acres).

Great story.

Many people have dogs and bring them over. "Dubai Girl" of this forum brought 2 of them. I believe she is away for the holidays and should return soon. She will be able to help you. Her dogs came from the USA. Depending on where you are from there may be different vaccination requirements,...

Can I have your job and villa?


Welcome back. It'll be better in a few days

Nothing worth than coming back anyplace from holidays.

The $20K is annually after tax. All calcutations are net. I have taken into account the Tax free benefits in Dubai for wages. Relocating to Dubai - Jumeirah area. When you say Jumeirah area; does that mean you defintely have a place there or would like to live there? If you have a place then it is ...

you can make the same tape about any country.

btw, I did not see the video. But have seen it countless of times (i even did one about the students of our "rival" college - same effect).

The Iraqis decided his fate. Yeah..right. And the tooth fairy is real and she actually took your wisdom tooth in exchange for cash. I'm sorry, do you not need American approval to post on this site? According to you nothing happens around here without them being involved. Best call the White House ...

Actually the job is one thing I'm considering changing. I miss being freelance and being my own boss.

You keep the folks, job and kitty. Dog and villa ok.

Chocoholic wrote:Yeah, if you've got a spare 7,000Dhs to take your case to them. Not worth it.

if you win your case (as you would) the money is refunded. Don't give in.

Also another issue which we've just run into. The lease ran out on the 31st December, so of course all the contracts were resigned and everything before that date, with the 15% increase. I doubt very much that any landlord will go back and redo the contract according to the new rates. Surely though...

How do I get to Muscat from Dubai? What roads, etc.

There is some festival going on there now so planning on heading there tomorrow a.m. Haven't got a clue how to get there. Will be driving just for the punishment of it (5 hours I hear).

Suggestions on where to stay?
