So do crack dealers, and it's not any less hazardous.

Aw come on, when was the last time you heard of a crane operator dying on the job? If you want to worry about someone, worry about the monkeys that have to stand on the steel and "catch/attach" the new girders. Now THAT'S man's work there buddy!!!

When was the last time you heard of a crack dealer dying on the job? Not because it doesn't happen, it's because it's not news worthy, but that's an entirely different subject..

I'm not sure what to feel about that place(all of Dubai).

There's so much money there, it's almost unfathomable. There's just something about that whole area that kind of makes me uncomfortable.

That crossed my mind. Not how MUCH we as a country will be sold for, or sell out for, but WHEN.
