I don't think it is right to ask a site to filter out content to suit the needs of your children. There are adults here who have just as much right to information as anybody else. Feel free as a parent to exercise control over your child but don't let that control extend to include adults in the country who have the right to decide what they should or should not view. Such a comment would be acceptable only on a kid's site. The site in question is meant for all. I am a parent myself and I personally think a responsible parent must monitor what their children go through. The lazy way to the problem is to get the central control to deny access to everybody, irrespective of whether they are adults or children. This is what affects free speech and expression and I'm sure in your own country, your request would fall on deaf ears. So like I suggested-- get a filter for the house or sit by your child. The rest of us don't want to be policed, thank you.
On the same day, we received another Email from a surfer wanting to thank one of our consultants - "Thank you so much Dr. Shirin for your prompt response. You are providing a wonderful resource for women. Thanks again. C.Munson, Dubai

I want to talk about road manners today. UAE is one country where driving etiquette doesn't seem to surprise me. From yelling motorists, lane cutters, hard shoulder drivers with tinted cars, tail-gaters, rude drivers, to the (take a deep breath) harassing taxi drivers. I have had a UAE license for almost 5 years now. I recently went on vacation for a month to the US and drove across 4 states. Upon my return I refused to drive for a week! I was shocked to realize that I had put up with such poor drivers around me.

Occasionally, I try to give way to drivers thinking they will do the same. They drive ahead, tail-gating the car in front lest anyone try to cut in!! I think your site should have a Road site, where you can occasionally spot the good drivers or have interesting quizzes in an effort to create awareness.

The seat belt & mobile ban regulations should have been slapped way before. UAE Traffic & Police depts. should put the fear of God in the drivers. A small offence (cutting in, changing lanes without indicators, etc) should be fined on the spot and given black spots on the license. Enough black spots and you go back to school for a certain number of hours.
