That Eddie Murphy head was in my city! Birmingham, AL. That's I-65 just south of (obviously) the Green Springs Ave. exit.

I buried you because your comment is way to f**king far down for me to remember what #6 was.

MajjoodiIt was certainly the impetus for has become not just a gated community but gated country for the rich, with very poor labor conditions ofr the poor. f**k Dubai completely IMO they are FAR more harmful to the world then the neo-con boggeyman Iran:"Behind Dubai’s famous monuments are many striking contradictions, most strikingly the massive non-citizen work force that is estimated at close to one-million people, laborers mainly from South Asia who work in conditions that multiple human rights organizations have condemned. In recent years the conditions facing non-citizen workers have begun to catch attention internationally.As a city state, Dubai offers little possibility for democratic rights, as labor unions and political protest are outlawed and foreign workers are offered no possibility for citizenship. Dubai’s political and economic system is tightly controlled by a ruling monarchy, who have built what author and commentator Mike Davis has called a Sinister Paradise. Tadamon! spoke with Mike Davis on the contemporary contradictions surrounding Dubai today.Stefan Christoff: Interested in hearing about your perspectives and ideas on Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). First let’s focus on Dubai as an international city in relation to international financial markets, a city which some commentators have labeled a dream city of capitalism. Can you talk about the importance on understanding Dubai’s role in the international economy from a critical perspective?Mike Davis: Dubai is the capital of an alternate planetary existence for the rich and the very rich. Dubai stands at the intersection of oil rich lands and an almost infinite supply of very cheap labor from South Asia. Although there have been other instant cities in world history, St. Petersburg is an example, never before has there been a plan to build what could be described as a utopian capitalist city.Half the property and business in Dubai is owed by a single family, in Dubai there are no legal trade unions or electoral processes. Dubai is a city in which every effort is made to build attractive platforms for foreign investors, from media and telecommunications sectors to international financial firms. Every effort has been made to build an attractive city for rich foreigners, including gated communities that advertise supreme lifestyles."<a class="user" href="http://tadamon.resist.ca/index.php/post/1576&quot;&gt;http://tadamon.resist.ca/index.php/post/1576&lt;/a&gt;But I guess lack of democracy is a-OK with neo-con apologists if it's a swanky playground for the oil-ah-grachy, right? Again this is why I buycott Citgo.See also:<a class="user" href="http://www.tomdispatch.com/post/5807/mike_davis_on_a_paradise_built_on_oil&quot;&gt;http://www.tomdispatch.com/post/5807/mike_davis_on ...</a>

"These sorts of illusions are great when they appear on sidewalks, and probably much less entertaining when you ram straight into the wall of this Wile E. Coyote-inspired parking garage after swerving to avoid the giant DOWN sign that materialized in midair in front of your car."LMAO
