The UK and USA might be **** holes but always remember one small thing..


You are always just passing through.;)

LOL - funnily enough wherever I have worked there were always the same unhappy people who kept telling me that the grass was greener elsewhere - once they finally grew some balls and left and went elsewhere they found exactly the same **** that they had left. :ouch:

In your ever-so-humble opinion ;). Unfortunately this kind of post just serves to demonstrate ignorance about these two beautiful countries. Clearly anyone thinking along these lines has never explored the wilds of Scotland, or the majesty of Zion Nat State Park, to mention but two. Oh, I forgot... why would you bother, when you live in a dusty, man-made "sh1t hole" next to an ocean filled with effluent?

Alright, guys, can we all just calm down again?
It's not really a sensible argument to call each others home a sh1thole or to point fingers at one another.

Regardless of weather someone is a local or an expat, everybody came to DXB for the money, and was happy to grab as much as possible - waste it on a yacht, invest into a real-estate project or safely transfer it out of the country.
Now the game is over, everyone is upset about it, and either blames it on greed and irresponsibility of "the others", or comes up with "I told you so!".

Culture? Do you mean beyond: mobile phones, land cruisers and fast driving, desert safaris, malls and tall buildings? They used to have some nice old buildings in Dubai but they knocked them all down to make buildings that look old (eg: Madinat) or sound old (eg: "Olde" Town).

The only culture (I think) I have ever seen here is a bunch of guys in a line, all in white and waving miniature goat-herding sticks up and down, to the beat.

I wish there was more of cultural significance to see and do besides celebrate the new mall or indoor ski hill.

Do you really need it pointed out to you that 'they' would be treated as a citizen in your country whereas 'they' treat the expats as a contractor who is welcome to LEAVE as soon as his usefulness expires... :rolleyes: Good for them though. Can't say I blame them really.

Calm down boys, this is not worthy of proff pilots. We are here for our own gain. We were offered jobs dubais gain. One day dubai wont need us and ask us to leave. No problem. One day I will leave. No problem... thats the expat life.

Oh come on - lighten up.

I've lost count of the amount of towns I've gone through in the US that have an 'Historic Quarter' that is younger than my Mother in Law.


Well 'they' treat people on work visa's in exactly the same way that people on work visa's are treated in Oz, US, NZ etc. - as soon as the work ends... sayonara ...

As for all this cobblers about pumping **** into the sea - well European countries have been pumping **** into the sea for decades and still haven't stopped.

Everyone just chill - we are in work, earning cash and the sun is shining - what more could you want at the present time?

Having just come back from my so call "sh1te hole" of a country it remains quite clear just what this place is:

A Third World country getting a very shallow First World "fake over":ugh:

This truly is the sh1te hole dump of a place with a nation a people to match. I've never in my entire life met a more disgusting race people as I have here. Two faced, arrogant hypocritical liars. :mad:

I for sure will be one of the first away when something comes along, and not a moment too soon.

For those who stay, you're welcome to it.

Right the usual rubbish has surfaced, just like the stuff floating around at DOSC. Have a nice weekend gents.
