Thinking like a Jew

In a society where money is priceless, where people go from zero to millionaires if they got the proper wa96a, where the hard working Emiraty is put down just because what he is doing aint gonna profit any important person, its best to abuse those who got the free ticket to the high class and forgot the real price of money. People who are not far sighted, people who consider buying a 2 Rolls Rice and 1 Bugatti while their family just live in a small bait sha3by not worth half the price of one of the cars.

Those shortsighted people have populated the U.A.E to the point that it seems like god is testing whether there is a chance for a farsighted U.A.E local to appear in the scene and become a "smart local", and In fact many smart locals have made it to the millionaire level by just "thinking smart". But sad thing, most of us end up feeling jealous and base our lives on becoming as shortsighted and arrogant as them, in other words, an exact copy.

So how do you think smart? think like a Jew ! Jews mentality is that of making money and taking opportunity by using tricks and techniques to cut good deals and take advantage of people, though Jews in most cases take it too far to the point that they feel no remorse to any wrong doing as long as it makes them money.

I thought twice before talking about this, but I believe that any person that is not as short sighted as a "typical local" is well worth of this advice. you might think that I myself is going to far, but my advice is to use the "legal & ethical" aspect of the Jew mentality. so am not really asking you to convert to a Jew, nor am I asking you to have no feelings and abuse everyone.

Its only that in our society, I believe its totally "ethical" to use techniques in buying cheap and selling high to people who are willing to buy high, people spoiled by money, even if high is double what the market offers for similar products. For example, what would you do if you were cutting a deal with an Ignorant typical and was caught up in the following argument.

Smart You: (I bought it for 200 dhs) Hey, Ive got Shakira Concert tickets, their sold out are you willing to buy for 1500 dhs ?
Ignorant Local: (hmmmm, *opens Dior wallet* i got the money) afaa 3aleek, tammm ! (OK DEAL !)
Smart You: (I was thinking he was going to bargain.. interesting) ok, since you seem to be a nice person, here 1200 dhs and its all yours.
Ignorant Local: why cheap ya5y? I want to buy for 1500, or you not telling me its bad quality?
Smart You: No man, I just love you, 1000 DHS same quality and its all yours !!
Ignorant Local: laaaa ya rayaaal ! I don't want, bye....

Not that it had every happened to me, Its just a hypothetical scenario. Why be Mr all nice? sell high, to someone who will pay high !

Another case that I have seen around just walking with CLOSE FRIENDS. We go in a store:

Friend: how much is this?
babu: 500 Dhs
Friend: ok deal.. *pays & leaves*
Me: ok dude, this guy was ready to bargain 100% i can see it in his eye, plus its cheaper in the market.
Friend: ya555y sultan, maaa anazil karaaamty we mostaway, 3eeeb ! (translation: I don't go that low and bargain)
Me: well believe it or not, that guy in the store is laughing behind your back to how much of an idiot you were.

And did I go that low when I was 12 years old and went from store to store playing the "your friend nearby is offering it cheap" trick to get a mere 5 DHS discount? I call that being smart....

Are you ebdiwee?

I had an interesting conversation with one of my relatives on MSN that day. Dunno how the subject surfaced, but I remember talking bout girls wearing 9irwaals being a turn off. Anyways, I belive that I accused him of being ebdiwee and appearently he said that he is "proud to be one", then I accused him of being an ebdiwee wannabe.

His arguments were as follow:
- arent your parents badow?
(me: in the past they were, now te7a'6iro)
- badow are respected people. Feehom il karam
(me: but we are not badow anymore, though we still hold our beduin traditions)

My arguments were as follow:
- the origin of the word ebdiwee comes from the word الباديه which sort of means the desert. We are born in the city so we are not badow.
- We have elictricity, Satelite TV, AC, Cars, etc etc. Are we badow?
-as a matter of fact, what type of ebdiwee are you that can chat on MSN and use the computer, an advanced one?

P.S: dont consider ureslf an ebdiwee if you drive a Nissan/Land Cruiser , have long hair, and talk with a broken arabic accent that is so far from bedouin.

as a matter of fact, have you guys seen the new 3ai'6a video clip? he has a fuckin pony tail !! what a disgrace..

The Voice Tweakers !

Our U.A.E flirting community have had their spacial way of talking to each other over the phone. As much as you try to figure out whether the girl your talking to is tweaking her voice to sound cute or not you end being told with a Micky Mouse voice "that's our real voice", piss her off and you get her real voice.

I don't blame them, in the end girls are supposed to be cute and it seems that their doing their best. but the issue here that the exact voice tweaking is spreading to guys too !!!

Take the example of the manly typical local guy who emphasizes his masculinity with his strong voice tone and great use of words. The moment he says "shush guys my girl is calling!" you can sit there in amusement as his inner girl personality surfaces with a tweaked girlish voice tone and lame kiss ass comments as if he is saying "Oh ! mighty princess am your slave!"

The poor soul usually takes a corner in the room just like a shy baby, lowers his head and smiles like a wuss.
Last time I checked, girls shouldn't be into those type of wuss bags. whats wrong with our society?
