See Screaming thread. Misha has written Sceaming kid is it. To call some one a liar, she must have no breeding . Is this on the right thread? This is getting confusing. I am confused with the lying bit. Who is lying about who (Whom?) and why?

Not many "Thursday" threads have been started today so heres some ideas to get it going ;) 2. Is the death penalty effective? When I lived in Aus I always thought the answer to this question was most definitely NO (and for the record, I am against the death penalty). But after living here for a few years, I have to come to think that maybe it does hold some weight. I am constantly reading about the most horendous crimes back home. There seem to be much less of them here.... although I know they still happen here. We don't get the granny rapes and nightime home invasions etc.... here. I definitely feel safer in the UAE than I do in Australia.

I've made myself sad by googling too much news/twit/vid on Bah and other countries, what a world we live in. :( You should not watch any news or read any papers and live in a little bubble. It's much nicer. Do you want to come in? Getting very worried about you, first you set a thread up finding out whose Dh's will be left alone and then you make a pass by inviting into a bubble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ROFL

51. Why do people get upset about others dress in the UAE / Dubai especially ? As the government don't appear to deal with it themselves and experienced, well seasoned expats with respect for the country they are living in , like some form of dress code and cover up. One of the many reasons they, the expats , have been overall content living in Middle East , not wanting to deal with issues in their own countries back home as people have so many human rights now , victims appear to do best. Need , Shoulders covered and to the knees and no see through clothes ! Not many "Thursday" threads have been started today so heres some ideas to get it going ;)

I saw a woman wearing a strappy top with see-though white trousers in Mall of Emirates today. Do they not realise this is a Muslim country and to have some respect? No (surprisingly) I didn't see a woman described as above today at MOE but just trying to stir up the thread ;)
