Nah. I'm pretty sure x < 15 is the most attractive period in a woman's life. Without the period.

All of those skyscrapers don't change the fact that it's a wasteland. I'd rather live in Alaska.

I'm pretty sure the same can be said for half of the states here in the US. i.e Alabama/Kansas/Arizona/*insert random midwestern state here*.

Let's put it this way. They are so rich from oil that they take the most expensive cars they can find, blow them up, then launch them off cliffs. At least that's what they were doing last time I was there... they're probably using airplanes now.

I'd rather live where I currently live =].

Spoiler!


(The tallest building there, WAS the worlds tallest residential building, now it's the largest in Australia.)

I love it here, Everything's reasonably close and Australia's best Theme parks. =]

P.S Dubai looks disgusting how all the houses all look the same, and they have restaurants for black people, and restaurants for white people - Screwed up.

They only have that cuz they use indian SLAVES that work for less than a dollar an hour, 10 hour shifts at least every day except for one day where theyre allowed to go into the city and not the outskirt concentration camps that they're put in for the rest of the week where they share a cubicle with 5 other indian men.

its a fuckin joke, but at least theyre rich.
i saw behind it when i realized they somehow had to get all that shit up in a year, guess slavery was the answer.

who the **** cares though, when you can exploit a race like that you can do anything, its a million times worse than the mexicans in california, but at least they can lock up the indians somewhere.

For the price of an ipod case, I guess it's cheaper for them to import an indian to hold it all day.

What have they got to export when their oil drys up, besides sand? A couple of centuries ago, places like Dubai became ghost towns after their resources were spent.

Most of that country is run by foreign citizens. Most European/ US celebrities own a house there of some sort. They dont have any citizens of their own that do any of the work. Half the engineers are German that they paid to go there and build it up.
They have so much money to waste they can make this:
Spoiler!

Artificial island for beach houses. Theyre building a 2nd one too along with some other junk.
Been there. Its really nice.

don't forget the new project they're doing, the "world islands", fking insane. but yea, i wouldn't wanna live there. it's a good city to have a vacation, but to live, it blows. u aren't rich enough to live 24/7 in the good places, so u live in the desert.

I grew up there, lived there for about 9 years.

And no they don't have Indian slaves, they produce about 2 million barrels of oil PER DAY, that's were the majority of their money comes from, that and tourism. And its not packed, not at all packed. You'll find loads of tourists, but not of residents. All of UAE (United Arab Emirates) consists of only two million people, half a million are locals. The rest have long term jobs but they probably wont stay there the rest of their lives because if they lose their jobs, its bye bye out of the paradise your useless, just the locals have the right to do so.

@ TOloseGT: A VERY small population of the country is poor, the UAE has a very effective, and unique way of governing the country, theres no democracy. Yep thats right no voting, when the president died (sheik ziad, a really nice person) the next person who came into power was one of his many sons. Money there is great, no taxes, what you see is what you get. Government takes no money from you. And the reason most ppl are rich there because the government has this kind of program they will build your business or workplace and everything for free, but every year you a small percent of the businiess income goes to pay back for construction, loads of ppl are well to do there. really really great country

1. They DO use Indian slaves to BUILD their cities and houses.

USA uses Mexicans, Australia uses Asians...

2. The Emirate itself isn't all that rich, USA itself isn't all that rich! The people who live there are.

3. Regardless of how much oil PER DAY they export, when their black gold runs dry, what will they export?

4. I don't think anyone in the Middle East could call where they live Paradise.

Wait, your telling the person who's lived there that they use slaves? And you've never lived there? Theres something wrong with that
