If they didn't make these claims of distinction, it wouldn't be news.

Dubai would like to thank you for your amazing grasp of the blindingly obvious. Here's your free exploding elevator ticket.

No response from NGFM yet. Must be because I'm a Foreign **** .

I give it an hour before the Haitians are begging to be airlifted back to the disaster area.

Do you mean "has" in the birthing sense, or in the making them live here aginst their will sense?

Are the day care centers anything like the labor camps?

Sure.

That's a fair amount of water.

Not that it matters especially. The answer to your question is - anyone who would like to bring up their kids in a clean, safe environment where the education standards are great and they learn to be culturally aware and considerably less narrow minded than kids in many other parts of the world.

Meanwhile our ****ing fishtank is leaking.

Both. I am sure your daughter (if you have one) will be raped and then stoned to death because she allowed herself to be raped.

So safe that a British woman that gets raped is arrested.

Dubai's shameful record on **** | Nadya Khalife | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk

Instead of seriously investigating the ****, which carries a harsh sentence under local law, the police charged the woman and her fiancé with drinking alcohol and having illegal sex.

Even better demonstration from that article about how tolerant they are:

Women in the Middle East face discriminatory legal provisions in personal status laws, which govern almost every aspect of their lives, including marriage, divorce, custody and guardianship, and inheritance. Discriminatory provisions in penal codes either exempt or hand down mitigated sentences to male family members who murder their female relatives. Women are also reluctant to report domestic abuse, ****, or other forms of gender-based violence to authorities because of the difficulties they face in seeking redress.

she was obviously asking for it

heh that's funny Dubai can't do anything right lol

This is more successful than I thought it would be.

What makes you so sure, apart from your obvious wisdom and grasp of all things worldly?

the only reason dubai threads are interesting is because mitch gets all worked up and responds to every post

Because it's Sharai law.

why the **** would anyone in their right mind want to raise their kids in the middle east? Especially if you had a daughter.

If nothing else, the bit about your obvious wisdom becomes much clearer.

Mitch, why don't you comment on the **** victim getting arrested instead of the rapist? Don't want to comment on such a heinous thing that would make Dubai look bad?
