Incredible. I've never seen anything like that. Hell, I've never even imagined it. If you want to know what I'm talking about, just use google image search and look up 'Dubai'
The Sheik that runs the place seems like a pretty cool dude. Free healthcare, no taxes, little or no regulation, western-style freedoms.

1 Corinthians 1:18---For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
I don't think so. It appears to be a true monarchy so no one votes except for the Sheik . But the ladies can dress skimpy and get good jobs.Originally Posted by StoopTroup

i went to Dubai a few times right after Sand War I.
the $8 pints were enough for me to never want to go back (remember, that was in 1991 - it's probably $20/pint now).
iirc, dubai's also the place where i took a ride in a mercedes-benz cab.
They've got the indoor ski slope in a mall there, and the worlds tallest hotel.
Google the Burj Al Arab.
... that's not food.
Do men have to work?
they're either running out, or out of oil there. They're trying to do everything they can to make it very much a major tourist attraction, hoping that will fuel their income. Atleast that was my understanding.

An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You would never see an "Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order" sign, just "Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience."
what month?
heh.
in the office pool I have March.
one day
You got robbed. $2 pints of Fosters were the order of the day back in '91.
Pffft. M-B cars are like Chevys overseas. Plentiful and just as ****ty!iirc, dubai's also the place where i took a ride in a mercedes-benz cab.
They're a car bomb away from having a fundamentalist government.
