| #16 "Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn..." Right, apology not accepted as it lacks any degree of sincerity. I am, indeed, civil if approached in a civil manner. You could contribute, as I've said before, but you occasionally insist on being a pointless troll posting second-hand drivel. And now, in your lazy halfwit style, you've made it very personal and even fucked up a simple apology. I guess you just can't help yourself. Fuck you. |

| #15 Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn it was meant to be humorous but obviously you are so angry about something it escapes you--we've disagreed in the past but usually have been civil--I apologize if you took my comment the wrong way |

| #14 No sweat bitch, though I'd suggest you made it personal as your comment was obviously stupid and I don't think it remotely compares to calling someone a pedophile. So I reiterate, fuck you. You're a troll and now you've made it very personal, indeed. |

| #7 Don't worry all the Kuwaiti hotels will soon be filled by lard-assed American businessman representing KBR and Halliburton--great staging area for them that's ascairt of Baghdad while they carve up the spoils the Bushies have for them and charge the US Gov $1.59/gal for gas that is available on the OPEN MARKET for $1 |

| #6 Barb - The long answer is nope. The short answer is no. Clues are in very short supply, up there. In fact, the local joke in Dhahran back during my first foray to Saoodiland in '92 was that the Kuwaitis, having an Arab sort of inferiority complex, try to out-Saudi the Saudis. The K's are very strange people, IMHO. Imagine the weird tan-lines you'd get... |

| #5 Have the Kuwaitis considered that most people take vacations as a couple or family, and that usually includes women? And that most Western (and for that matter Japanese, South American, etc.) women aren't about to put on a burkha/abaya/bathrobe and walk two paces behind their "owner"? Have they really thought this through? |

| #4 I was in the gulf before Gulf War I. We made port calls in Bahrain and once in Dubai. We considered ourselves quite lucky as one ship had to make a liberty call in Kuwaitt. They said it sucked worse than Tyson chicken... |

| #3 Kuwait should 'sell' one of its offshore islands to, say, Japan. Japan hell, sell it to Thailand. Now there is a population that knows how to party. |

| #2 The sand's so lovely this time of year..." That's not funny. That's just damn mean. I wish I'd said it. |

| #1 Kuwait should 'sell' one of its offshore islands to, say, Japan. Japan can then build hotels and casinos on the island, and offer discount fares from China, Japan, Taiwan, and the Philippines. The Kuwaitis thought OIL was profitable! |
