Has the construction boom in Dubai gone too far? Old timers fear the place is losing its authenticity as ski domes and shopping complexes replace pristine desert.

Dubai may be one of the hottest, driest places on earth, but inside the new ski dome it's snowing. Despite having no natural water supply, Dubai manages to use more water per capita than anywhere else. Not everyone is pleased by the construction boom. "The city doesn't look the way it used to for our generation," complains one man. "We don't have a sense of belonging."

Progress isn't always good. Our (meat, dairy, egg and processed food) diet gives us cancer, heart disease, diabetes and erectile dysfunction which generates huge profits for the medical and pharmaceutical industries. Our mass media lies to us about 9/11 so we can fight bloody wars to generate profits for the war profiteers and the Federal Reserve Bank has been raping us in a huge ponzi scheme for almost 100 years and financially destroyed our middle class.

These constructions in Dubai are not actually for it citizens, in the contrary these are to attract foriegn (Rich) investors to it. A big example is Jumerah Area, I didn't feel that I am in an Arab country, maybe somewhere in europe, I would say. And btw I lived in UAE all my life
