Pakistan VS West Indies 2nd Test at Jamaica 3 - 7 June

God! You say you live in Dubai? Have you ever met someone who built the gleeing towers you hold so dear?

These are not islamic tents as you invision them. They are slum homes of the many Pakistanis and Indians who live in dire poverty sacrificing their bodies and lives so Arabs can have their vanity and eat it too.

Dubai’s decision to prop up sky scrappers is not an easy task for a people who roamed the desert on camel and donkey fifty years ago. It’s not brilliance that fuels their quest to hire british designers and pakistani labourers - but desperation. Dubai recognizes how screwed it will be in the future. As a result, it’s capital rich but knowledge poor elites pump European pockets and exploit Asian asses to secure Dubai’s role as the tourist central of the world. You sure seem proud of that.

Camel & donkey jokes are history here now, they look good only if they did not have the success & wealth that they have today. They educated each & every citizen equally. Let me give u a very small example.

If a local citizen of Dubai has plans of starting business, he/she can approach the shiekh of Dubai, & he will provide 25million AED, equivalent to approx $8million, to start a business here. They have a period of 15-25years to repay it back.

The citizens of Pakistan, poor ones, still use donkey carts, have we looked at ourselves. Its very easy to make fun of them, but the truth is we, are the butt of these camel/donkey jokes. In UAE, if u kill a camel, it is either jail or a stiff penalty. That is the respect they give these camels, because they still take pride in their heritage. The following pic speaks billions, & it is perhaps the epitomy of Dubai’s success.

Justify me this point, are the western countries only allowed to have skyscrapers…??? Its like US, only we can have nukes, nobody else can.

There are more Mercs & Bentleys per person here, than the US, I think this is what really pisses the rednecks, & yankees a lot. But it didn’t come easy.
