Your superiorty complex and condesending tone are getting annoying now. Unlike Shaf I don't have the time, energy or patience to deal with fools like you. So peace out and I leave you in clog land hoping one day you will land a job here. There is no superiority complex. As far as I have experienced...

Excellent clip - I agree with Hitchens that we don't need God to come up with a set of moral values, and humans can indeed decide what is right/wrong and set up laws to regulate societies. For me the argument is more fundamental - i.e. is there a God. If there is, what would that God logically do? ...

I simply cannot believe that an intelligent and highly educated woman like yourself is totally devoted to just one person like Mrs. Wafa. There should always be room for debate. You might be disappointed. :P ps: The 'troll dudes' have nothing useful to say, so they resort to ignorance. Its a common...

From what I read from above, it is clear you question whether or not God exists. Following your further reply I can clearly derive an Agnostic belief. Refute me if I'm wrong. Note quite - I just have a personal view that any belief should be logical, and that in the absence of positive proof either...

A critical believer,...the world could definitely use a few more like you mate. Indeed. Shafique also believes that humans share a common ancestral link with lower primates because of what the Koran says. Oh, wait.... Yeah wait...the missing link named 'Ida': http://neatorama.cachefly.net/images/20...

Yeah well nevermind looking in the Bible for that matter. You won't find support,...

...as they still seek constituents

Some say that non-religous believers are non-believers, which is obviously not true. I have my own set of moral and ethic values that are part of my core being. Those values are my character. They are me, pur sang! (ps: I'm not pefect either, perfection doesn't exist) I've often argued that I don't...

Bahh ! just paid 10% service charge at gourmet burger king. Although the food was good and huge portions. The milkshake was humongous ! I wanted to actually ask the waitress if this goes to them or the greedy owners hog it. Seemed like perfect timing too. As the owner or atleast someone higher up i...

51 percent of the service charge goes directly to the Emirati owners. The other 49 percent is to keep the business going. And where do you get all this false info from ??? Technically outside of freezones yes the local owns 51% bussiness but 90% of the cases they are paid a yearly sum to sign some ...

I understand your point. But it isn't all wrong what I've said.

Forget the multinationals. I'm talking small businesses here. Think about businesses outside the freezones, like hotels, diners, restaurants, leisure and entertainment etc?

‘Very Close Call’ “People who engage in such acts are complete degenerates,” Zubair Butt Hussein, a spokesman for the Muslim Community of Denmark, said in a statement. “They don’t understand Islam or the principles of freedom and democracy.” Westergaard said in an interview with the Ritzau news ser...

You guys are absolutely mad in the head. For the sake of entertainment (a cartoonist is a free art profession), whats wrong with some good satire? An artist can mock any person he wants. Thats part of the artistic freedom he learned to master when he followed his education! What if a Christian nuthe...

RobbyG, I believe that I am a resident contact of yours and I have stated the facts. You didn't indicate that your information came fro resident sources and no one is saying that they are lying. Its possible that your other "resident contacts" are mistaken or are not fully informed. Even ...

dont know why there is such a big fuss about local partnership. if you dont want to be sponsored by a local just go to a freezone and setup your own company. simple as dat :D RB, this is misconception, the free zone allows you to do business only "through" Dubai, not "in" Dubai....

the only cost of doing business in UAE is salary for your staff and the rent you pay. staff is cheap and so is the rent, custom duty is low compared to other countries. when you compare with lets say UK you will find UAE is very cheap when it comes to establishing and running a business in UK. Also...

Well said Berrin. Berrin forgot to mention that an Atheist nuthead doesn't need a booklet for his guidance. I hope you didn't forget Stalin and Hitler. Those nutheads erased their opponents before they even blinked against them. Point is: If one is tolerant, you don't have to resort to madman pract...

I know a thing or two more than just Aerospace. I would never say I know all there is to know. Thats why I converse with people on the ground (not just you alone) and have this broad interest in the world in general. I don't just talk. I analyze the walk. Doesn't mean you have to agree with me... Wh...

G agreed buddy you know a little more than your avg joe about dubai but you don't know it all and then getting all defensive about what could be called inaccurate info at best from some internet friend ? Business owners (2). How many times do I have to repeat that to get you read it right. :? The 5...

Dubai is broke, it cant pay its debts, big brother bailed it out, putting its name on it.

Ah finally someone who dares to speak out that important 'last minute' fact...

Thats the problem dude, there is a very fine line between being confident to being over confident, cocky and an absolute d!ck, and what you might precieve to be your sharpness and wit is threading that very fine line too close too the d!ck side. Over a service charge discussion? Are you kidding me?...

Over a service charge discussion? Are you kidding me? No, from almost all your discussions ever since you made a DF comeback. Well, you can't like everybody right? I consider myself erased from your 'friend list'... :D I'm always sharp on paper. Somewhat softer in person perhaps. Get used to it!

Burj Dubai >>>>Burj Khalifa....hmmm !!!! "Money does not talk, it shouts out loud" and the world has just witnessed it ;P Exactly. Although the fireworks mediashow was great for the serfs living in Dubai. The fact that Sheikh Mo's ego had to bend over to receive the bail outs from Sheikh ...

Re-naming the Burj Dubai to Burj Khalifa was a major show of respect towards the President of the UAE. I would expect nothing less from the DB's and EC's to have a go at this. You can all say what you want, this building is a major achievement in anyones book, and by the way, it made Emaar a lot of...

Hi guys I was just checkin in. I know its been a long time. I can't beleive this loser is still lurking around and ****** all over the forum. What baffles my mind is he has so much time to sit all day in front a computer all day long. Just imagine how much he posts on a forum that has nothing to do...
