Double Standards

and also instead of a stupid campaign againest what your wearing how about one on safe driving put some more money into that

thanks for someone bringing this up. I was in the mall the other day and a female security guard came up to me and said I can't have my shoulders showing. I was wearing a wide strap tank top which was not low cut. Same sort of top I've been wearing for months. Yet they sell halter, and tube tops. Even yesterday going through the mall I saw lady wearing and itty bitty skirt and a tube top with her bra showing.
Does that make sense?

If you dont like it here, then move back home

do you like prostitution?

I'm guessing here but I think it's because of the extra influence Abu Dhabi is having on Dubai (after the loans etc.). As to the government prossy ring? I don't think it's quite as extreme as that - but i do wonder how much the owners of such emporiums pay in tax to the gov and their local sponsors....

Also the arab way is that if you don't see it then it didn't/doesn't happen - quite a liberal attitude really!

well maybe if you wouldnt spend sooo much time on this forum, you could get some sleep. oh i forgot how boring your life is that you have to act the wise guy while hiding behind your screen

if it makes you happy :clap2:

Personally I think this is two seperate issues which has no relevance to each other.

Make no mistake about it, walking around malls in skirts above the knees and your shoulders showing causes offence to the local people of Dubai. It is only their culture of 'saving face' and not causing embarasement to you by approaching you that stops them from doing so. I think it is about time they started cracking down on it out of respect to Emiratis who's country this is after all.

The other issue is a whole other can of worms and the same can of worms you will find in most major cities in the world. Prostitution is the worlds oldest proffession and will never go away.

There is no law saying that woman cannot ever wear skimpy clothes. It just isn't appropriate to do so in a shoppng mall or on the street. Keep them for the beach or garden.

A little common sense really goes a long way...

This may be a little off topic, but it made me think about the beach and pools in apartment buildings. What is considered appropriate swim ware? Should I be shopping for some full costumes or are bikinis okay?

I would say that bikinis are fine. Just cover up properly when walking from your apartment to the pool/beach.

Whatever, i actually do have a life - a great life here, and i do know PERSONALLY quite a few people on this forum.

It's just that I've been hearing that same comment for 5 years now, people who make it generally have an intellect deficiency ie they're thick, have no decent retort and a troll level of intelligence.

Now I'm not saying that that is you, but i do say generally....

It could be that Ramadan is coming and malls and such public places have been instructed to advise their visitors to be more observant of local customs during Ramadan
