I love the misconceptions by the uneducated stoners.

The overall crime rate in the UAE is extremely low, something like 1.5%. The US is around 5% I believe.

Well Tacks, from what I understand also is that the US records it's crime rates very differently then some other countries do. US crime rating is based on arrests whereas other countries base it on convictions.

Those numbers I posted are the percent out of 100,000 people who will be victims of crimes.

I wouldn't be surprised if they said "fuck it" and built a dome around the entire thing.


Thats so true, this place looks fucking incredible... I never knew something like that could exist... On what everyone is saying, though, i would be kinda worried about abadabala blowing some shit up there... It is a beautiful place though...thats for sure.
