A yahoo article about Dubai getting ready to open the "World's Tallest Tower"

Unfortunately they make no mention of dubai's current state of affairs, which read something like this.

"Dubai is a city caught in an identity crisis. Struggling somewhere between its desire to be a playground for the rich and its adherence to traditional Islamic roots, rests a city that lacks sufficient infrastructure to support its delusions of grandeur. Visit if you must, but leave quickly before you are sucked into its calamitous void. "

These are the top 20 reasons that outweigh that beautiful gleaming man made marvel up at the top.

some of the reasons:

13. Not only do you have to get your boss’s approval to obtain a liquor license, but you must also get the company’s approval to rent property, have a telephone, or get satellite TV.

8. There are traffic cameras everywhere.

10. People stare at you.

and prob the worst..

6. These poor people are promised a certain pay, but the companies neglect to tell them they will be deducting their cost of living from their paychecks, leaving them virtually penniless – that is, if they choose to pay them.

Comedies.

Why do they even give you the option of unrated on comedies? people buy unrated comedies for a reason, so why the fuck would they think someone would want to choose the option with less movie?!

the sad truth.





unfortunately, this is our strategy.

We trust this society because it makes us feel safe, but how can we while thier is still injustice like this going on?

A REAL AMERICAN HERO.
