Beach cleaning is different than doing it for a job though isn't it? At least some are taking responsibility for cleaning up, shame others aren't quite with it. Most visitors here do actually clean up after them, it's the others that don't, and we have all seen them and know where they are from. ca...

Thursdays anyday ..... nothing like a weekend to unwind.

This is something that needs to be addressed as taxi drivers exploit drunk passengers all the time. I guess UAE will continue to get worst if the inflation is not controlled. People earning below AED 5,000 a month are struggling to make ends meet and day by day their frustrations will grow. Sooner t...

Working with the NGO's, I have realised that everybody is shaken down. The workers or low income groups are exploited to make the white collared workers richer. The blue collared workers know this and hate the fact that they are exploited, made to live in miserable conditions and at times some retal...

worldguy

just look at this (http://www.miricity.com.my/index.php?/Social-Welfare-News/Message-532) This is result of exploitation of white collared workers and you are one of them. Sorry to say that, but truth is bitter. This is a money society and we are all part and parcel of this. We all are sucked into t...

Community service helps the society and keeps people grounded. It helps them see the harsh realities of life and makes them realise about how lucky they are. By fining a millionaire, couple of 100 dirhams does not go anywhere. Some will actually brag about the stats. This is a good step and I hope i...

I know, its helping me get tougher by the day. People do not see the stink I get by PM's. Nothing will stop me from helping the needy and standing up for them. The truth is bitter and we all live fake lives. If somebody tries to rattle that, we will bring him down. This is the reality of our generat...

Its not a shakedown, just a "good samaritan" doing his duty. It is illegal to be drunk in public here and you should respect that, even being aware of the law and still breaking it, then getting caught and screaming foul is no justification. You are seriously lacking in brain cells on thi...

last sunday i wanted to smash an arrogant taxi driver's face to a bloody pulp. i was driving slowly in a parking lot then him coming out of a public toilet stared me down and gave me the indian finger (whart??). i rolled down my window and asked him whats the problem and he shouted "i no probl...

Helping the needy and standing up for them is commendable, but to justify shaking down people because they "have money" and having them arrested because they would not pay is totally, totally wrong. For someone who believes that they have been cheated in life and to deliberately hurt anot...

Just a platform for people to share things they have done for others that has made a difference to that person's life. I will start with a bit. 1) Help workers by providing them old books, so they have an option to do something post work. 2) Help orphans in India to ensure that they do not go throug...

Most of this is commen sense, but some of it is just retarded! Residential 'hoods'? hahahahaha So it's forbidden for unmarried couples to hold hands, kiss etc in public, but ok for guy-guy, girl-girl? Some of this is just good for a laugh really. :lol: Guess we might just see annual parades being h...

worldguy

Anyway the most important thing is there will be no more kissing in public..its embaressing especialy if u were with ur family.. :oops: Why is it embarrassing? Is it embarrassing that your kids may feel that you don't love their mama like that :) On a serious note, why is kissing considered so offe...

WG: Taxi drivers don't own the 14 hour day. My husband never works less that 12 hours a day and for the most part works 16 hours a day - and he's not a taxi driver! Do you get paid a salary or is your work volunteer? How do you pay your bills or do you live off charity? Are you a bachelor living wi...

worldguy

OK, here's a new one. Since the government has put life back into the drinking law it seems that taxi drivers and hotel limo drivers are shaking down passengers. Here's what I read on another forum: Married couple go to dinner and have a couple of drinks. Rather than drive themselves home they went...

worldguy

WG, why do you think that 5000 DHS is a bad salary for those guys... Some of them didn't even leave a primary school. Another point that it's difficalt to earn the same money as a year ago due to World's crisis. Anyway they should struggle against the emploer, not inocent (in his troubles) people.....

Just a thought. How do we even know that the taxi driver did this in the first place. Maybe he was a good smaritian and took the couple to the cops. The couple then went around pushing this story as maybe their egos were hurt. Maybe the taxi driver did the right thing or maybe he was a jerk and trie...

worldguy

its not about being a good guy. its all about money. world is all about power, greed and money. am sure the driver had a CID friend otherwise he wouldnt have that much confidence to call them up. and when you have contacts you can do whatever you want even make a few quids out of some drunken couple...

Bora Bora, before I work you up again ... take a deep breath, read your PM and would appreciate some more details on this. If nothing else, I will use this as an example to educate a few .....

worldguy

worldguy, you REALLY want to sympathize with the taxi driver. Poor guy, has no choice but to drive a hotel limo (in a seat in AC as compared to the construction workers who work 12hr shifts and work and live in non-AC environments, for example) and no choice but to hustle passengers for more money....
