Some divecenters use a non-existing "30m limit" as a means to force people into Deep Dive Specialties to suck money out of them! "Oh, you don´t have that - sorry, you can´t dive XXX!" (XXX =Canyon, Bells->Blue Hole, Thistlegorm, whatever site that´s deeper than 30m...)

That is not correct! Link

My favorite is that one: "There are Muslims and there are infidels. We will have ambassadors in every country. We want to call all other countries to join Islam, and that will be the task of the ambassadors. If [the countries] refuse, there will be war." I know that this lunatic is not...

Oh, it does get better than that... taking it a couple of steps further...

I find THIS quite interesting...

Yeah, but overall nowadays most nations live in peace with each other. Just look at Europe and the wars they were fighting in the past. I see the glass rather half full than half empty... Yes(*sigh*), I know, I´m sorry, but when we discuss the future of Sharm (and all Egypt, for that matter) we...

I don´t even expect that I can do whatever I like. As a guest to this country I respect local laws and cultural rules. My girlfriend and I do not exchange affectionate gestures in public, she dresses carefully to not offend anyone (no headscarf, though!), we are not big on alcohol anyway and can...

...and I can accept that! But as I wrote: Those that are the most intolerant towards us, demand absolute tolerance from us! We must accept everything they do while they accept nothing we do. And on top of that they want to live in our countries (and I have no problem with that!) while they don´t...

What angers me to no end is that in all islamic countries there is zero tolerance towards western values and believes, while at the same time they demand absolute tolerance in western countries for their own values and believes. Any arab immigrant residing in european countries is outraged if...

Interesting statement: Here ...especially considering the latest poll: Here

OK, this is directly from Mr. Zeyad, with whom I spoke today. The funding of the CDWS now comes solely from the membership fees. A bank has pledged 150.000,00 LE for a specific purpose: moorings... A supervisor from the bank will make sure the money goes only into that. None of the donations...

What? They get the funding withdrawn, they don´t (won´t, can´t - whatever) communicate with the government, but they have to give them 30% of all donations they recieve? That´s unbelievable!

edited because the offending post was deleted by the moderator. Thanks!

Thank you for finally clarifying that! It´s interesting, though, that you think you can decide or seem to know "what the majority needs"... Over and out!

Of course! You have all rights do to so, nobody, at least not me, disputes that. Just don´t pretent it will be a democratic and free society if you base the principle political and moral values and laws on inflexible religious dogmas. And this leads us back to the original thoughts about...

1 - Are you saying those were democratic societies? I didn´t know the people had the right to elect their leader by a democratic process with with "one man/woman - one vote"... 2 - that´s not correct, since choosing the wrong references makes a democracy impossible by definition. Another...

Politics based on religion has never in the history of mankind led to anything good! Crusades, extremists, holy wars (in whatever name), oppression, cencorship, you name it... That´s the thing about religion: it is a believe! It´s not based on facts, science or truths, it´s based on the...

"Recent 2010 data shows 32 percent of the labour force is employed in agriculture, 17 percent in industry and 51 percent in services." link And yes, having a Sakkara together would certainly mellow the atmosphere of any discussion! :D

Well, if they are a pile of crap, pointing out why they are, would really be helpful in a discussion. Just accusing me of writing "bull****" doesn´t qualify as being meaningful. If you think this is not the place to discuss this, I would be really interested to get your thoughts by PN. If you...

One, I didn´t interfere, I commented (which is my right!) Two, Obviously you don´t know much about democracy, or you wouldn´t want to stop me from expressing my thoughts Three, I probably have forgotten more about economics than you will ever learn Four, you didn´t adress one of my points with a...
