By, there are some tough, merciless girls around these parts... you wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of them, that's for sure

Yshimy.... I have a very simple question for you:

Do you believe that women everywhere in the world should have equal rights with men in all matters, such as religious, domestic, business, political and social???

Jamal, there is all the evidence in the world for the holocaust, including the remains of victims, evidence from survivors, those who ran the camps and those who liberated them, as well as the physical evidence of the camps themselves and the incinerators they housed. Only some blinkered person with...

Jamal, can you tell me, were you in the diplomatic service?

And I fear all those years at charm school appear to have been wasted on you!

GoodBai

And me, I want to have words with someone... thanks!

GoodBai

Sounds like this bloke's got a bit of class... and knows that romance is the real key to a girl's heart... well, that and a good map of the desert!

GoodBai

Sadly bias, bigotry, prejudice and misunderstanding are to be found in the four corners of the planet. I don't really know whether Dubai is any worse than anywhere else. Maybe it's given a sharper edge and more focus because of the incredible mix in one place. Your particular case is probably a pers...

Nothing mysterious... he just went for the third sand dune on the right

Time to lighten things a little Can't see a section where this should go so general chat seems nearest. No-one take any offence because this is all they are... jokes. I'll set the ball rolling... One cow to another in the field: "What do you make of this Mad Cow Disease?" Second cow: "I don't know, ...

How many Dutch people does it take to change a light bulb?

Four... one to hold the bulb and three to turn the ceiling

Ouch, the claws are out now

Q. Why did the blonde scale the chain-link fence?

A. To see what was on the other side!

GoodBai

Do you know, you are just about the first person I've seen on here writing about Dubai with what I would call real warmth and affection. Even those who say they life the lifestyle and enjoy the city usually have something disparaging to add like they hate the traffic or that it is in some way "fake"...

GoodBai

....Or supporters of extremism and hate the West. Most Westerners are anti-Muslim, pro-Israel and seek to harm the Islamic world. The above are two complete misapprehensions but views held by people on each side of the argument. How the hell do you cut through this and get some understanding? I fear...

Does anyone want to see my Lada 1.2LX two-door with hot and cold blowers, a driver's airbag (the missus) and Flintstones suspension

PS Yorky, nice motor... any chance of borrowing a tenner

Interesting to note that the above mantra by the Barred of the Forums, HP, is by that well-known drug-taking, booze-swilling, neurosis-blighted, insecure popster Robbie Williams... a kindred spirit perhaps

GoodBai

Linda, You do seem to have a very jaundiced view of the western media. While there is no doubt good and bad journalism everywhere - and I can't vouch for your country of birth - in the UK there are several extremely good, balanced and responsible newspapers such as the Independent, Guardian and Obse...

"Annoying".... yes! "

"Hiding".... no!

It's mostly just a question of finding the time, particularly when it comes to some of the more detailed 'War And Peace' length discussions

Sorry to tell you this Choco but I think you've got a bad case of "woman flu". I reckon you'll be wandering around like some Victorian poet with tiny handkerchief in hand, sniffing away and wringing your hands in woe. You see, us blokes are soooo much better dealing with illness and just shrug off a...

GoodBai

Correct..... sorry but must go now, I'm taking to my bed with this cut on my little finger

.....

GoodBai

Choco, I can't believe you said that about blokes and illness..... but would there be any chance you could pop the kettle on for me, nip out for a couple of DVDs, do a spot of cleaning and just whizz round the supermarket while you're on

?

GoodBai

The point I was making is that in the UK there is the freedom to investigate and publish highly critical material about just about whatever or whoever you want. Whether that is the Royal family, Blair, Bush, the policy in Iraq, the Palestinian question. Government policy on just about everything is ...

GoodBai

This attitude of "Go home if you don't like it" really irks me and it's usually used by those without rational argument when they are backed into a corner. Surely it's a good thing for people to hear different views and ways of doing things from around the world. And it's only by questioning things ...

GoodBai

"Tell me what to do".... Easy, give yourself time. At the age of 18 you hardly need to be pressing any panic buttons now about finding Mr Right. As regards falling for the wrong ones... well I think you're in the company of the majority of women on the planet in being attracted to the bad boy or the...

From Emirates Today: Emirati women have responded with anger to the news that American singer Michael Jackson appeared outside a Bahrain shopping mall wearing an abaya and sheila. “As an Arab woman I am offended. Maybe Michael Jackson wanted to hide himself from the paparazzi, but I don’t think this...

GoodBai

airnie, I just pray that you didn't attend the "Moderator" training course run by Jamal

By the way, has anyone told you that the tradition is that any new Moderator buys the beer for everyone for a fortnight in the most expensive and luxurious bar we can find

Cheers

GoodBai

Liban, your post made for interesting and enlightening reading but there are a couple of points that I would like to raise. Firstly you seem to suggest that it is uneducated Muslims who wrongly believe they can go out and kill because they don't have a true grasp of the teachings in this matter. But...

GoodBai

Liban, whenever you refer to the West, it is ALWAYS in a hot-headed, posturing and aggressive way. Your talk is always of revenge and you seem to be under the impression that everyone living in the West is on some kind of crusade against the Islamic world. It just isn't so. Just as some in the West ...

GoodBai

Don't put words in my mouth Liban, I didn't call you a terrorist. What I did say is that you come across as intemperate, hot-headed and aggressive when referring to the West and you need to adopt a more understanding and considered approach. Whatever you may think, I don't feel that the West and its...

GoodBai

Linda, I'm not trying to silence anyone who criticises western countries at all, just putting the other side of the coin... surely a good thing to hear all points of view on any issue on a forum like this. It's not about "correcting" a Muslim's view of things or trying to impose another way of think...

GoodBai

Liban... what arnie says is true, you are obviously intelligent and have genuinely-held views, but you also suffer from tunnel vision and have a chip on your shoulder the size of Africa.

There will be no peace in this world if the majority are as entrenched as you are.
