it does say that veto power does not favour any one individual member, but only in books. Practically it DOES protect individual members' interests, especially US, which is apparent from the events happened in last few years.

in my 10 years of experience in uae roads, arabs generally are the most dangerous drivers though newspapers say something else.

in short, i do not believe it.

honestly the worst drivers are indians. i mean driving 50km in the fast lane where the speed should be 120km and the cheek to brake when a car comes from the behind flashing. You took the words right outta my mouth.. spot on mate. I'm surprised banglaboy hasn't chipped in with his "constructiv...

There has to be a limit to propaganda. Nobody knows for sure where chess was invented. Even Indians don't, persians also claim it as theirs. Calculus was never known by Indians even during the British rule, and now Indians claim they invented calculus? Algebra the word itself is derived from the ab...

let's hope arabs will learn to live with these qualities soon.

women are the worst driver ever!!!! giving them a car to drive is like giving them a killing machine. women always have to much on their mind to think, no wonder the poor birds cant concentrate on driving when they thinking about make up, bf and shoping. In 10 years of my driving i have only had on...

Their survey is all wrong. pete t is the worse driver in Dubai. ;-) But seriously, it all needs to be taken in perspective. If there are more Pakistani drivers on the road then they will be responsible for more accidents, it doesn't mean they are the worst drivers though. They need stats on the acc...

arab world should take every form of action and adopt every form of offense, which will not shed any more blood in either side.

Hello everybody :) This is my first post on DF ;) Riiiiiiiight....so ADSL is avaliable however the usage is censored.

lets not get into history as that is a never-ending debate. right, though history never gave enough reasons to shower what they received onto others.

i don't think arab unity is impossible. but with angry kids who never show willingness to learn, listen, reason, respect, etc., it's not going to happen ever. one can argue that policy adopted by western countries is what causing arab countries not to unite. who gave and still giving them chance ?!!...

Sure, if you're happy with shoddy quality. Maybe some people would rather use true business-class connections instead of the mickey-mouse cheaper ones.

i'm talking about business class cheaper services. when i said cheaper, it IS much CHEAPER than what you are proposing mr.senior.

Agree with the above poster. Generalizations arent pretty but there's not much you can do when 80% drivers from a particular place drive in a similar way. Arab expats are very prone to jumping red signals (even more than locals). South Indians are quite panicky, while some Canadians are safety-obse...

thats really what kills me. you dunt see the good part , instead you just focus on something worse. Now what do expect , Do you want them to cut prices to half ? If you were a businessmen here , would you cut half the price of the service or the product that you sell. You have other options , you d...
