Well come to think of it UAE bankruptcy laws are much much more lenient than any where else, simply because it does not have any. What you are referring to is the bounced cheque law. As far as I can remember in the late 80's or early 90's (???) there was a lot of fraud going on with regards to peop...

dont get me wrong and i am NOT taking sides but............. I can sympathise with the sooth sayers crying "all is lost". SAge you like me bought at the outset so we have no axe to grind, indeed we have both made a lot of money from our investments. But please all spare a thought for thos...

I agree the bounced cheque law sucks and they should look into this but when you say people were forced into wirting PDC's ? What there was a gun held to their heads ? I would never now or before give out a blank cheque. It was the publics own greed. Just gave out whatever the bank requested for in...

Must be difficult for you to admit that Sheikh Mohammed should be included in those who deny there are problems, .....see his quote above, it is crystal clear. I don't agree with your statement regarding HH Sheikh Mohammed, he admits that their are problems here, however he is also working to try a...

Sage there is, I believe an extradition treaty is in place with the UK and the UAE, but there were only talks between the US and the UAE, nothing was finalized. Therefore, Herve cannot be extradicted to the UAE if found guilty. Extradiction also covers specific crimes, and if Herve is found guilty ...

Vik, who cares to what Sage has to say, everybody on DF seems to agree that he has no credibility.
Dubai World is a failure, it cant pay its debts and now loses on foreclosure.

LOL the only bad reputation Dubai is having is you living in it LOL and good for you losers finding a couple of companies in a pioneer country to pick on, get a hoppy will you. look at the big pictures you experts, look at the countries debt including yours, we are waaay down and the irony is that ...

Ok , to move in into a" productive" discussion here, it appears that the UK banks are pushing things around "including the use of their media" to push Dubai World into selling its assets which is worth "$ 100 billion" which Dubai world rejected to sell in such a market...

Hate actually comes from Dubai Lovers such as Sage but he has lost credibility on this Forum. Even uaekid who often takes on expats shows fair and balance comments.

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...

Dont you see that if no one can get in there, there is no point postin in there, it means no one will read your posts. I think it s just a form of censorship. Lots of threads disapeared lately, we should all censor DF and move to another forum, try the dark side of Dubai forum http://forums.somethin...

Where is the Sheikh Eisa thread I started last night? If it was removed, please explain why. Try something funny: If you want a thread removed just post a link in it on Sheikh Issa torture case, a case about some disturbing truth on the rulers, a link on Herve's book, or anything considered toxic t...

I don't see the benefit to be in fight club, since it s so restricted to get there, It must be completely boring with no one to read your posts.

This is a useless debate, it s not going ot happen, period, it was a sarcastic joke. There are way too many UN employees to grant immunity in an environment of so many anachronistic laws, the UAE does not recognize the State of Israel, and the whole purpose of the UAE would be to turn the Dubai base...

There are way too many UN employees to grant immunity in an environment of so many anachronistic laws, the UAE does not recognize the State of Israel, and the whole purpose of the UAE would be to turn the Dubai based UN as a marketing tool.

Exactly, this thread is useless, the UAE will not recognize Israel and the UN will never move there.

Jail, 80 lashes, fine and deportation for drinking at home!!! Wow!!.... Isn’t that a little too severe, particularly in a place (Ajman) where you can openly buy booze!!?? Man to get 80 lashes for drinking alcohol http://gulfnews.com/news/gulf/uae/crime/man-to-get-80-lashes-for-drinking-alcohol-1.58...

I told you, lol. In the end, who cares, they can give him life in prison if they want, they only do it to themselves and by themselves, they accept it and live in total submission their whole life. But they dont know what they are missing :) alcohol is good (in moderation) and it s fantastic to have...

I'm not denying your escape but it isn't a big deal, not to a child really :D ! and it is even easier to sail from Oman to India than UAE to Oman….

Ooops. The aquarium sprung a leak. Of course, an official said it's not a problem. Of course, given the shoddy building standards it's no surprise. I hope they have a better maintenance guy than my appartment block has.....otherwise there will be a guy with a barbie lunch box come round and squeeze...

Wouldn't it be more logical (and normal too) to at least make a warning, to correct, or delete some 'abusive' post, like they do on normal forums...? Instead of throwing whole thread down to toilet = making whole thread with dozens of posts (mine included) unreadable to majority? Who needs this so ...
