This is absolutely a leader that doesn't allow being played with. Look for yourself how Putin publicly humiliates Oleg Deripaska (oligarch) and lets him sign a contract that provides the aluminium plant workers a sustained income over the back of the oligarch Deripaska. I really enjoy this Putin guy...

Don't get me wrong. I'm not a fan of Putin's geopolitical battles. I just happen to like Putin for the fact that he doesn't let his oligarchs rule him, with all the money they got (and political influence). Don't forget that Russia needs a firm rule to get rid of the upper level corruption. You need...

You think too much Humprey

This topic is not about Putin overall. This is about the video and his reaction on the domestic labour issue.

I say he showed some force and did a great job.

Keep it focussed

Obama aide compares Putin to Hitler http://www.prisonplanet.com/obama-adviser-compares-putin-to-hitler.html It's not so farfetched. The problem is that wooly liberals like RobbyG seem to admire him (sorry Robby, flame away), just as a certain portion of the UK population admired the lovely Mr.Hitle...

14K is a good salary for any mid-career single guy in Dubai Really? God damn, some of these expats are getting paid way too much then. I was on one of the lowest salaries at my (ex) company and I was earning almost three times that. Get real Captain! :shock: Around 40k a month for a software engine...

Ok, not 40. I was on 36K and like I say I was one of the lowest paid. If you had kids you got an extra 4K so most of the people I worked with were on 40K-45K. The senior engineers were on 60 odd. I think they system architect was on 65k. Not sure about the CEO, but it would have to be close to trip...

Some people like to live a prosperous life. Not hospitalised and with a mere 30% of heart capacity at the age of 40... Damn son, your on the wrong track at that age. :? Hmmm... I wonder why such logic eludes me every time I light my ciggy.:D Well I'm only a social smoker, I guess you just can't qui...

Yeah? MY grandfather swore by a full English breakfast every single morning. And a glass of wine/brandy before bed. He died at 92 and was never sick a day in his life! THERE YOU GO!!

Why don't you post this stuff in Amsterdam?, most people here read the Gulf News so we don't need to see it again. Why don't you just mind your own business? Your task is to moderate, not to tolerate. I follow the forum rules for that and I don't see any changes made so far. Until that happens, jus...

Who the hell are these people

Audition tomorrow. Funny in filmdom, I get pegged as Latina or white. I'm never picked for "Asian" roles (I know I should be punished for auditioning for a role that is not my racial background and to take roles from real Asians but it's called "acting." Anyway yeah I do auditio...

A story from the other side was to be expected.

Lets see what evolves from this, and perhaps we will some day hear the truth behind it.

Something is smelly

You could have seen them in Wafi 2 years ago, if you had visited Dubai that time. The key words are: Audi car, blonde wig and jewelry.

Ah I see, the ex-communists from the EEC.

Well, easy on the racism guys.

What you see is a Dutch Farmgirl, with a big can of Heineken beer in her arms, cut open with a bunch of roses hanging out, some other stuff and some clogs sticking out the top... She's ready to move out to Dubai and is smoking her last 'stick of joy'...and God is she lovin' it... :D Want a suckie? ...

our task is to moderate and............. if in our opinion it is just cut and pastes from local papers then WE may decide to moderate and REMOVE it. Like sage says we can all read the articles in the papers. This is a discussion forum and just posting newspapers links is not discussion. In fact all...

What issues do I have, you supposedly sit in Holland and constantly post bad news about Dubai having never been to the Country, I happen to live here. And hey, I could care less whether I disappointed you or not. Lets be clear on this one. I don't care about disappointment either, but the point is ...

You are absolutely crazy in the head

I hope to soon get the opportunity to work and live in cultural diverse Dubai. I will enjoy it, thats for sure.

Hey I'm with Robby on this one.... Every time I read a local paper my mind is filled with doubt. You just can't take what these guys say at facevalue.
