Well, I do know a lot of people who stop-over or briefly holiday in Dubai or the UAE, but that by itself hardly makes for a sustainable long term model of prosperity. Airport & shopping hubs can be easily replicated after all, if the demand is there. Off shore financial centres are also a dime a dozen as well and perhaps a lot of the factors that made say Singapore or Hong Kong major centres are either no longer present or not possible to replicate and many of UAE/Dubai's neighbours (India, SA, other Gulf States etc) all would like such hubs to be in their own territory.
When my stepmom goes to India on business, she usually breaks up the trip with a quick visit to Dubai. You know, to get away from the sprawling, oppressively visible poverty and instead have a couple of days in C-class executive Disney Land.

So we get stiff once in a while. So we have a little fun. What’s wrong with that? This is a free country, isn’t it? I can take my panda any place I want to. And if I wanna buy it a drink, that’s my business.
Thats not good. You should wake yourself up after 9.
Why?
Rarely do you need 15 hours of sleep. There is a point at least I find where you wake up more tired than you were before sleeping. Also sleeping long periods outside of puberty tends to make depression and such worse.

Basically oversleeping.
Pshhh...
I thought you were going to spit out some medical reasons for it.

I have a dislike of a lot of the mountain bikers near me. They don't follow the rules. Act like you some how ruined their life if you ask them to slow down on a trail so you can get your dogs off to the side so they can go buy which you aren't even suppose to do. They are suppose to yield according to state law/regulations. Mountain bikers tend to be assholes around here it seems.

resolved: I am going to bed tonight before 3:00. And by 'going to bed', I mean turning off my lights, closing the computer, and actually attempting sleep.

Oh, and if your son is stubborn, you call him an alcoholic and have him stoned.
18If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:
19Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;
20And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.
21And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
12And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight.
13And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them.
14Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not been polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth.
15Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith.
Ever heard of an anime called Baccano? It looks good, is it? Y/N
People will tell you it's a great anime. I found it to be above average. It's 14 episodes or so long and is about a train heist gone wrong when it's discovered half the passengers on the train are immortal.
emnmnme's final judgment: Worth watching through once.

Why?
Too many firefighters, not enough Pyramid Heads.

Biblethumpers, how is an iron chariot stronger than God, as the bible says?
My preferred condescending epithet is "Godbotherers".

I get all the girls :whistle:
and the sanity they give me is probably worth trading an extra seven hours of sleep for
Really? Link?
WebMD has links to studies and says so too!
My question is:
How does the sun survive the deadly radiation outside of earth's magnetic field?
Personally I think NASA filmed the sun in a studio in the nevada desert.
It's a projection.
Ezekiel 4:12. "Eat the food as you would a loaf of barley bread; bake it in the sight of the people, using human excrement for fuel."
Then someone says "god damn that's disgusting."
Then God goes "Fine, use cow poop for the fires instead, you squeamish fucks."
God sure changes his mind a lot.
The sun is not on fire.
I like the way he works!
Let's make this bread. We'll call it The Full Circle.
