Dubai Forums

Humour and satire are signs of intelligence. Humour is the kryptonite for fundamentalists. A person who can laugh, isn't afraid anymore.

I believe the full veil should be worn by ugly women. Pakistani women should be forced to wear it whatever the circumstances.

This should be a fun thread.

What's the longest word in your language?

Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz

That's not a word.

Liebling, you crack me up!

Rape is a form of theft. Only, you take away something that is much more precious than all the jewels together in the world. And something you can't get back ever. Rape can't be compared with material theft, that's ridiculous. It's much more than that. People who are blaming the rape-victim should b...

Theft is a thieves fault
Murder is a murderers fault
Rape is a rapist fault (and you show the attitude of a rapist, meaning rape isn't the rapist's fault)

Nucleus is on a slippery slope towards justifying rape.

Yesterday under the influence of a few Schnapps, I adopted a seeing-eye dog. Her name is Artan.



How sweet!

How are seeing-eye dogs treated in Dubai? Are they allowed?

Nucleus wrote:Wasn't difficult was it?

Didn't know it would upset you.

Whatever it is Nucleus, I'm sure we can talk about it.

. Yes you're right, not all pups become a seeing-eye dog in the end. I'm not training her. After a year she will stay in a training facility.



"Good luck"



Thanks.

What are you supposed to fill in?

Your current location?
The location you think where you will spend most of your time?
Your location of residence?

Something else maybe? Can somebody explain?

Hallmark wisdom: change within yourself what you don't like about others, and you will see the world around you will change.

Your courage and wisdom will never be forgotten.

The Qoran? Having been in Dubai, does the Qoran also warn against gluttony?

That is one instruction that goes completely against the gluttony we observe today! And quite apt just before Ramadhan. (Many pious Muslims do actually follow that instruction, and they don't have weight issues) I understand that pious Muslims don't drink alcohol, but many Muslims don't follow that...

There is no commandment in the Quran that 'you shall not be overweight' This is what surprises me. Compared to (moderate) use of alcohol, gluttony is at least as costly and dangerous for the person and for society. I don't want to encourage the use of alcohol nor do I mind some meat on the bones, b...

What's the Arabic word used in the Quran?

I was shocked by the remark of Berrin that if he was an infidel he would rape women left and right. I was more shocked by the silence of his bro’s. Where did this come from? It’s not uncommon that groups of people are easily stereotyped. Germans are known for their “Pünktlichkeit” (precision) and “O...

There's an off button, sweetheart. Spend some time outside.

Take it up with kanelli. Still waiting for her.

That might be cause shafique already started straight after with his name-calling. Kanelli and the rest had many opportunities, all were missed. You have something to proof.

What a big men, beating girls into the hospital. Cowards.



Wife beating and the Qoran:

In Germany the Moroccan attackers would get 'punished' with obligatory free kickbox lessons (this isn't a joke, it's serious), hoping they'll find another outlet for their aggression, while I still have to pay 50 for speeding 5.

That's a matter of opinion. Wife beating constitutes misogyny for me, not for you.

If Shafique wouldn't have double standards, he would support freedom of dress for all his family members.
