One day at the Hospital my mother works in, an Egyptian woman and a snotty British bitch applied for the same job.
The Egyptian woman had 10x more qualifications, yet they took the British woman anyway.

It would be an Urban Explorer's wet dream, ten times more awesome than Pripiyat and without the risk of radiation poisoning.

There's even a game being made about a deserted Dubai already.

what is it called?
Dubai is just a dick waving contest for rich muslims. Take that away and you got yourself a bankerupt hell hole
[QUOTE=Exploits;20424008]Wasn't this almost common knowledge?
Who are we to complain anyway. Pretty much the whole of North America did exactly this to India and China during our own construction booms.[/QUOTE]
I thought that was when one learned from ones mistakes and avoided it from happening again?
Not go all "Oh, no, sorry, we did it too, so it's alright, go ahead, do it all over again".

Dubai / UAE is a big shithole.
Kuwait for the win.
Dubai has such a large gap between its rich and poor. Lets take a look at Burj Kahlifa for example. The entire cost of the building (including labor) was 1.5 Billion USD. Now, lets look at 1 Bryant Park in Manhattan. Roughly 3 times smaller than Burj Khalifa, it costs 1 Billion USD (It would have been a lot less if it the architects didn't want to make it Platinum LEED status). In theory, if Burj Khalifa was built in Manhattan, it would cost at least 5 Billion USD. Why is it so cheap to build in Dubai? In New York, a construction worker makes at least 700 USD a week. Dubai? 5 USD. Lower Pay=Cheaper Construction=Cheaper Building (Not quality, however).
Their aquarium in the Dubai Mall cracked today. It's the second biggest aquarium in the world with 2.6[I]million[/I] gallons of water. They fixed it real quick but it poured water all over the floor and the mall had to be closed for the day. What scares me is the thing is brand new and it's already having leaking problems.
Asshole company.
the middle east is just a scum hole

Wait what?
It was leaking drops... You're making sound like a gush of water broke through or something.

No, water was pouring out actually.
The Gulf States, Dubai included, are a capitalists wet dream. They can do what ever they want, make a ton of crap, and treat workers like shit.
The workers need to rise up.

We sort of have the same thing in here in Bahrain, illegal Indians and Filipinos purchase fraudulent Visas.
Plus, they must learn how to report to the authorities if their sponsors are treating them like shit.
@killkill85
Hala,
These "Illegally Immigrated [U]Indians[/U]" are the people that run your country.
They are the gears to your machine, they are the horses to your chariot.
Without them, the whole of the Middle-East would be nothing;- we depend on cheap labor and they are our source.
I don't know about you two, but I highly respect these "Indians", and I always lend a hand whenever I can, and so should you.
Have you ever seen a Dubai-an working at a gas-station? Or how about a Janitor? Or Laborer?
Take this from a fellow middle-easterner.

What 'Indians' are you guys talking about? Are you referring to people from India? I don't see why they would want to leave to go to a shittier country
[QUOTE=Epidemick;20429197]are you serious
people treat you like some sort of god if you're western
what are you on about[/QUOTE]
Thing is, I'm Asian. More specifically, Filipino.
and to KillKill85, it's spelled "Filipino"
This is just plain horrid.
My friend was there, was soaking the floors everywhere i hear. One shark apparently died :(
