[lartinos]

I would rather live on the moon. And westerners will be welcome until they're not needed anymore. And if you're a woman you'd better have some pedigree before you go there........like have some important people back home that would raise a stink if you go missing. Otherwise you might find yourself being whored out to the rich sheiks against your will. They only respect muslim women. They have no compunction treating non muslim women like 3rd string humans.

I love Dubai, all these skyscrapers cuz the royals are bored adn need to spend m oneyh, and foreign contractors are more than happy to build it for them! ($)

Too bad after created, they sit empty. Cuz dubai has no middle class and no flourising capitalism of saudi office workers to fill those skyscrapers. Most are poor and uneducated.

Some facts in this article seem very dubious:

First-phase signature villas on Palm Jumeirah sold off-plan for £719,000 within 72 hours in 2002 and are now re-selling for as much as £7million.

Believe that if you want. The Dubai property market is non-transparent, you don't know and won't find out who owns what, how much they own and are trying to sell, what their financial position is, etc.

As far as living there, well if you do, you better live within the laws of that land:

The best purpose of dubai is throwing your money there. NO ONE will fuck with SA in terms of demanding account names or anything (like they're trying now with Switzerland). Why do you think haliburton and so many companies are based in Dubai.

Wanna put your $10M in a Dubai bank? Why Hello sir, right this way. We own your President so don't worry America won't do shit.

Imagine how much the IRS would freak the fuck out, if joe cheeseburger started depositing his earnings in a Saudi bank.

meh, cardinal was a good guy but he was a american basher, so no wonder why he finds comfort in a inhospitable desert country surrounded by 7th century religious fanatcisim.
