you people really find this shit funny 

quinn i used to like your posts because you seem somewhat intelligent. but at some point your sycophantic fans must have gone to your head and now seem like a pretentious college knowitall with the ability to make yourself look like a clown even when you're on the right side of the argument. drop the superiority complex and the internet persona, man

The primary purpose of that post was humor smart guy. I'm sorry I can't always be the dry, stuffy intellectual you'd like me to be. Do yourself a favor and lighten up.

...furthermore, he started calling eveyone a "fag" so I decided to have a little fun with him. I usualy don't boil down to excecive insults, this is if you actualy read a number of my posts, though your comment seems to imply the contrary. In any case, I figured I'd do it in the sprit of humor. Either way, you still take this nonsense too seriously.

I heard theres nothing to do at night.  I didn't realize there was no alcohol but it probably has alot to do with that.

Isn't their money worth like $25 dollars or something?  That might be some other small country like Qatar or something.

I really hate Australians though.  The chicks are cool but fuck the guys.  And in places like southeast asia people are always mistaking you for them.

How about fuck countries built onj racism and Western greed? How about that. Give Dubai 100 years and it's the next buried civilization... unless they develop the most efficient and simple solar panel ever... but they seem a bit too intent on building absurd malls and 1000 story apartments.

If you drink and drive you can get deported, or any violence involving alchohol, deportion. Alchohols not hard to get, most restraunts in hotels and all the clubs serve it, bars near ski dubai do too. At big events theirs also alcohol, im 16 and get served sometimes and they dont ask for ID.

Billgates no longer has greatest individual net wealth, I believe its warren buffet now.

ALso, Dubai recently reached and economic slowing...Just like the rest of the world. Skyscrapers are being abandoned half constructed, population is beginning to lower, and money as well as companies are beginning to take their shares and hit the road... Oasis in the desert, soon not to be.. But I hear its indoor powder can't be beaten!!!

They're doing it all becasue tehy're thinking ahead. When the United Arab Emirates runs out of oil, waht is going to keep their economy running and keep them as a focus in the world scene?
they're building up all these attractions to make the whole place a large disney land sort of attraction so people will keep continuing to come to Dubai and spend their money there. This will allow its economy to keep functioning long after their oil supplies have run dry, although that will be quite far in the future...

so yeh, that's why they're building all this infastructure and Dubailand and the underwater hotel, 7 star hotel, palm island, world island, ect. ect. ect. ect.

Wanna try out teh ski hill their..like every month they have a comp

eh its okay, no jumps becuase they have that tubing thing setup on the lower level but on the upper level they kept the slopestyle setup thing with like 7 rails and boxs or something.

sucks being the only skiier too hah. the one instructor loves park skiing so at least i have someone to talk to lol..He keeps telling me to stop afterbanging and bend real low for extra style.

When I wrote that, well over a year ago, Bill Gates was the wealthiest person in the world. Warren Buffet and Carlos Helu are currently wealthier.
