I'll never understand why any reasonable person would want to live in Dubai. Even if most people don't get impacted by these stupid draconian laws - even the slight risk of being put in jail because of some paperwork mistake by my bank or something isn't worth it.

Nah, market for premium vehicles nosedived with the recession, would lose too much on depreciation if I sell it now. Have to hold onto it, which i'm not especially upset about.

Their ordeal began after they packed their things to be shipped to Leeds. They were shocked to get a £5,000 quote but before they could cancel, the firm sent their goods.

this is probably the scariest part. I bet that company was bribed or some other shady **** to screw this old man over.

Dubai isn't a country. Thanks for proving the stereotype.

that story does sound a bit sensationalist...
where knightmare sees a conspiracy where the shipping was a setup, I see the potential for retarded people who were told how much it was going to cost and didn't pay close enough attention until it was too late.
in that country, you go to debtors prison. in this country you get sued. that is a big difference. but there are probably some ****ty loophole injustices that occur in this country that don't occur there.
what I don't understand is why TW suddenly gets a conscience when it comes to harsh punishments for certain crimes commited in Dubai by white people when other times everyone is willing to break out the torches and pitchforks when someone drives a car after having a beer or two (for example).

Is there a trial or a judge or anything to determine the legitimacy of debts?

a lot of the Americans on TW are xenophobic or just plain old racist
i think the Canadians are a bit more chilled and balanced, whereas the Aussies are about half and half....you've got like, Beren and MC Hamster who are quite liberal and tolerant, and Geck0 and probably some more who literally see black people as a lower species

Im Canadian and I think Dubai is a backwards place for white people to live. If **** hits the fan, which it will eventually, those people are gonna be the first to get ****ed. And if they can put some old dude in prison for not paying a measly storage fee, and then extend his sentence because he couldn't pay rent while being locked up.... yikes...
