Yes Dubai has plenty of nice cars, i recognise some i have seen on the streets of dubai and know some of the owners. Most of these cars belong to business people who have worked hard to get what they have.
I challenge the poster to defend his argument! For someting like this can only come out of some one who has been brainwashed by american media. | I couldnt agree more  With all due respect to everybody here. That was an ignorant comment. Not blaming anybody though, not blaming him, its sad how many people have been brainwashed by the media.
My friend, we in the UAE do not depend on American money to build our nation. We my friend depend heavily on tourism, financial services, real estate, and investments we make abroad. For instances there was an article on the Abu Dhabi Investments Authority in a financial magazine stating that the state-owned authority is worth an estimate USD 500 Billion. True this came from the oil in the beginning, but its not American money  its from everywhere.
Not trying to sound mean or anything. Just didnt like the fact that people do relate wealth made here to american money. Anyways sorry for going off topic  .  | | | | | Enthusiast

Back to the topic, a couple of months ago I saw the Bin Sulayem GT1 on the road. Damn that car was fast when he hit pedal. One of the fastest cars I ever saw on the road. | | | | | Fanatic

It's quite obvious the hatred that these individuals have developed towards me, and that's fine. Just the same it's incredibly retarded for you guys to come in here and create some stupid drama that no one asked to be apart of. If it bothered you that much, you could have PM'd me and expressed your dissent there, but bringing it into this thread, making a great effort to make me look like some racist pig to create a base for you to ban together and act like you're being attacked, as some sort of cause for you to begin some small scale e-crusade... I don't even know how you rationalize such behavior. This is stupid. Hopefully you guys can get over it soon, there's more important b.s. in this world to be more concerned w/ than a casual meaningless statement posted on a gott damm internet forum.  Hating and being mad at someone you don't even know..aha..
This also goes to show just how selfish many on this forum truly are. It wasn't so long ago that someone made a thread making some jovial reference to the KKK, and I was the only one to say anything, maybe it struck a personal cord becaues a large portion of my ancestors were persecuted by them for no logical reason, and now I'm being made to look like a racist. A lot of you should be very ashamed of yourselves. I really have to wonder if this forum is truly worth posting on w/ the quality of the members being what it is? Good that it's not the people that keep me here.

I hear you and I'm sure that you didn't mean what you wrote but you must understand that given the current political climate people generally take offense much more easily these days.
It would be more constructive if you just retracted what you wrote and offered a apology for offending some of your fellow members. There is no shame to admit that you've made a mistake -- in fact it takes a great man to show humility and understanding for the feelings of your forum members. | | | | | Trendsetter

Good that it's not the people that keep me here.  | Calm down bro, nobody said you're a racist. As a matter of fact the worst thing I read was that you are ignorant. I'm not agreeing with that though because the original post you made should've been brushed off as a joke but it wasn't the best of jokes either. Anyways relax man, I don't think anyone here likes the KKK and anyone who did make a stupid comment about it is just as dumb. KKK is a very serious issue considering not to long ago my sister was threatened for her life by some skin headed KKK wanna be. Beleive me, if I was there the dude would've had his faced bashed in by me and ended up in the hospital.
So just relax, and enjoy life man. It doesn't matter who makes you mad, just remember this, they're so far away that it doesn't matter after you turn off your computer.  | | | | | Fanatic

My absolute favorite was when someone once (seriously) asked me: 'How do you dare to go into the woods, are you not afraid of tigers?"  | | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
