Didn’t he also invite his kids?

I have read that article before. I agree with what it says. The name within itself makes an uncomfortable association that can possibly influence people into looking at the UAE in a positive light. If this chocolate was given an ethnically derived name, instead of being named after a city, people probably wouldn’t notice it. Being named after the city is makes the association so bad in my opinion. Most Westerners have a narrow minded understanding of the country where they forget it is a country. Dubai is just a single city. Being by association, connected to all this, makes me ashamed that someone of my ethnicity willing chose to work within whatever confines allowed for their participation. This isn’t a place many non-Emirates can freely travel to without something possibly putting their safety and dignity at risk as a Human.

EDIT: I should clarify that my criticism is all with the government.

Technically it was cancelled after season 3.

Why not just ban smoking?

That was actually a Sabre product. They just used the acquisition to pivot to a Apple-style electronics company for a business oriented costumer base.

Washington State. They have a identical (or at least similar) bill I heard about last month.

I was too angry to listen to reason. Basically, all Palestinians as I understood were considered terrorist. If you aren’t Israeli or for Israel (explicitly), you are bad.

It was sickening to listen to someone tell me Israel is justified because… [insert random religious thing].

I’ve heard Christians justify this shit a decade ago by saying they are terrorist by association of where they born.
