All elements of NG apart from the BBS and user-pages were blocked sometime overnight. How fucking weird.

Damn UAE, go play pretend democracy

Talkers are doing something. Beauties are being something. Which isn't bad, I just I don't know what it is they're being. It's more fun to be with people who are doing things.

I can understand blocking social sites to stop groups forming to protest but if they blocked everything else other than the BBS, then I guess they just hate the flashes and games

I love not being a resident of a shitty Middle Eastern country.

He said "I love not being a resident of ashitty Middle Eastern country." You can love not being in countries with shitty laws all you want, but last *I* checked, insulting an entire race and comparing their countries to turds is well..racist.

Nothing racist about it. Most counties in the Middle East are quite shit and he is correct. If he were to say "I love not being a resident of ashitty Middle Eastern country... because brown people stink and I hope they all die." Then he would have been racist.

Middle East is a geographical position...

A "Middle Eastern country" is not a race.

Seems like they want to try harder on being a Muslim (which all of them failed since 1430 or so years ago)

Just checked with some home dogs and the same thing has happened in Oman and Bahrain as well.

Sheiks and Sultans got bees in their bonnets today it seems :?

There's a lot of subjectivity there don't you think? I'm pretty happy where I am, and I've been to more than a handful of western countries (although for only a week each), and I still prefer the culture around here.

Not all middle eastern countries have unnecessary extremist laws.

Go to the ministry of truth and tell them that I said as-salaamu alaykum and also la illaha illallah, Muhammad rasulu-llah. That should clear it up they should unblock it just fine.

According to your profile you live in the US, this is about the United Arab Emirates.

Just swallow your pride and admit you're wrong. You should work on your logic for a start.

That's a funny way to defend an association fallacy used to support an appeal to ridicule.

I think it's because there are some quite offensive flashes on this site.

UAE is actually a very good country to live in, apart from the freedom problems. Also, wikipedia puts it at 32nd in HDI, which is higher than Portugal.
