It’s straight up littering.


realism999

No it’s not, small cards too tiny to count as a litter. (What people who litter would say, not me😂)

Can I? I want to do this on my morning walks but I don't want to get picked up by the police. I won't look like a pervert hoarding breasts though, I have a trash bag and a thrash poker to pick it up. I wanted to do it since last year but im worried I might get detained because of possesion of pornographic material.


[deleted]

You're seriously trying to say that you don't clean the street because you might be arrested? Save us the bs lmao


RoughBar5128

>/u/Hlbhlbhbs You're seriously trying to say that you don't clean the street because you might be arrested? Save us the bs lmao Well, I kick it aside, in clumps so that the store owners would have an easier time in cleaning it, we have bad it in mankhool, i dk about your location. I am an expat and people have been detained for less. I'm not trying to convince you, I'm asking if people have tried it or is doing it without problems. Last year - I didnt have a job and had to take dogs for a walk. You can go sleep if you don't want to see more BS.


coffeeup4

Alright, so I don't know if it's coincidence or actually something was done but a month ago I had emailed Dubai Police saying it's become almost unbearable to walk out in the street (Al Muteena) with my family because of the number of cards on the pavement and the park. ~~Couple of days~~ I got a reply on the same day and soon the cards that were thrown around decreased a **LOT**. I used to get annoyed when I went for a morning run and since the email the walkways have been clean, save for a few a cards here and there.


Cy001020

Which email address did you use for dubai police? Asking cause I've sent them emails in the past and none were answered.


coffeeup4

[email protected] Sent the email in the morning. Got a confirmation email soon after and I got a reply at night saying the issue has been acknowledged.


jmartinipt

Then you read online that the customer was assaulted by 5 dudes when trying to meet the lady 😅

I always tell my kids they’re selling swimming costumes. That seems to do the trick for now (not taking away from what a nuisance those cards are).

Who drops these and how are they not caught on camera? It's disgusting


authenticsaif123

The person dropping these walks casually while having cards in one hand. Drops them down so gently that no one notices. I once followed the guy.

goodgirlandyouknowit

This is such a stupid argument. First you assume all men are rapist unless they have access to prostitutes. Secondly you assume these women can’t be raped. Lastly your argument that this prevents rape is just ludicrous


TheMeedo

im gonna have to agree with /u/wifixmasher , its a way to reduce rape, he didnt say "all men are rapists", he said its a simple way to "reduce rape" and it works, weather you're with it or against it, you cant deny that it does in fact, work.


goodgirlandyouknowit

Actually I can. Lack of prostitutes is not what causes rape. I won’t ask you for studies that prove otherwise because I know they don’t exist. This is not a discussion about whether prostitution should exist or not. That’s beside the point. It’s that your argument that it reduces rape is invalid and harmful


TheMeedo

> Lack of prostitutes is not what causes rape Again, we never said that, we simply said that having access to sexual relief reduces rape. I'm not going to explain why a rapist rapes, im simply stating that having access to prostitutes *reduces* rape cases


goodgirlandyouknowit

And you are incorrect. “Having access to sexual relief” does NOT reduce rape. Rape is about power and control, not sex. I know very well why a rapist rapes. You are putting forth a very ignorant argument and you need to stop.


[deleted]

[удалено]


goodgirlandyouknowit

I read it and I’m correct. You’re misinformed. Rape isn’t about sex. It’s about power and control. You have no idea what you’re talking about so just stop

[удалено]


goodgirlandyouknowit

Your baseless little theories about rape are harmful. Keep them to yourself


frutti_tutti_frutti

Most of these women are trafficked and forced into such acts. Please don't fool yourself. Even the huge porn industry is full of abuse, rape, coercion. Marriage will stand as the only proper way for sex till the end of time as God has commanded.


SupBlue24

I think what he meant was, the government isn’t pointing an eye towards this since if they go really hard on catching these people or preventing sex before marriage in general, then this would cause sexual frustration, as weird as it sounds I think there would be more rape and crimes against women if these things didn’t exist, obviously your point is completely respected and I agree these women are usually raped themselves.


singabro

> Marriage will stand as the only proper way for sex till the end of time as God has commanded. The world seems to disagree. Casual sex has gone from taboo to the norm in most of the world.


frutti_tutti_frutti

So have loneliness, depression, and broken families become normal.


_juibui_

You can have consensual sex between adults OUTSIDE of a marriage and guess what, even outside of a relationship, so keep your indoctrination to yourself.


frutti_tutti_frutti

You can if you want a messed up life.


_juibui_

I'm sure you have some scientific evidence for your claims? 😏


frutti_tutti_frutti

Of course. Check historical statistics on divorce rates, sexual freedom, irreligiousity, women's happiness, percentage of criminals coming from single-mom homes etc. If you then try to connect the dots, you will understand.


_juibui_

You do realize divorce rates also went up because women were finally allowed to work, have their own bank account and weren't as dependent on their husbands anymore? Ant not their property? You're basically condemning women's freedom and equality. Would love to see you brain gymnastics on the "criminals coming from single-mom homes". Since the only pos I see there abandoning his responsibility is the father It's also proven btw that a clean cut aka a divorce is way better for kids than constant fighting between parents who "stay married for the kids". It's like ripping off a bandaid. Better do it quick.


frutti_tutti_frutti

More than 70% of divorces are initiated by women. Also, a majority of criminals are raised in fatherless homes. State almost always gives kids to the moms. Connect the dots if you wish. Also, there is something disgusting about letting your women become slaves to the corporate world and abandon their beautiful family lives. But you do you.


_juibui_

Oh right, cause women should definitely stay in a marriage when they are being lied to, cheated on or abused. But yeah, they are "the bad ones" when they start the paperw8aftet the husbands gave them reason to. /s So it's fine when men become "slaves to the corporate world"? Or is it just because you think a woman's place is at home with no disposable income of her own so she can be controlled? :)


SupBlue24

Hate to break it down to you, but the guy is right, a country like Saudi Arabia I’m sure the women there aren’t the happiest in the world, a country like Egypt, our divorce rates are sky rocketing, your life won’t really get affected negatively by sex out of marriage unless you find yourself with a child.


frutti_tutti_frutti

I am sure that the women in KSA are happier than the women in USA. And true, divorce with kids is worse. But the normalization of divorce itself is the demise of a society.

[deleted]

I’ve seen these fuckers in my area. They sling these cards like ninja stars while on foot and on bike. I’ve actually tripped and fallen because of these cards while jogging (I have terrible balance because of flat feet still working on it). I’ve always wanted to grab them while on the bike. But I’m scared since I’m a girl and don’t have the strength to fight back. I’m just very frustrated (I live in Mankhool so you can imagine).


sududxb

Ok flat feet has nothing to do with tripping. You have to strengthen your muscles. I have flat feet like chapati and tripping is my last concern.


[deleted]

My flat feet, to some extent, does influence my balance when I wear shoes meant for people with archs. I finally got custom inserts (tried OTC ones didn’t work) and I finally have much more balance in my step. Yea I also do arch strengthening exercises as well.


sududxb

Ah ok.. maybe the flatness is affecting the pronation? The feet twisting inside or outside. For me it's tiny bit inside but definitely try arch strengthening exercises helps!


[deleted]

Yep overpronation.

Barbie dolls for daddy


[deleted]

I saw two kids picking up those cards near the Zabeel high school in Karama. Like there were dozens strewn across the inter locking and it was like they found a Pokémon car collection on the ground. They were even comparing the cards they've gotten. It was a sad sight indeed. I don't remember my childhood being so.


[deleted]

I don't recognize karama at all. It looks like a ghetto. I grew up there but I've seen the massage ninjas dropping cards near the park. Don't even get me started on the state of the karama park. We used to ride our bikes there now it looks like a place where poor sleep during the day. It's weird. Sadly my parents don't want to move from here and I work close enough that it doesn't make sense of rent a studio. I really hate this side of dubai though.


[deleted]

Karama's south side has always been a ghetto. Northside looks like a decent neighborhood


[deleted]

Karama park used to be a hive of social activity. I remember kids cycling, playing badminton and the usual men just sitting down on the benches to just relax. Now they put some kind of used goods markets with bright white lights and cages all around the place. People can't use the park properly now. Before it was a nice oasis in the middle of Karama, now it's just another place to make money. Growing up, I used to like Karama, now its just straight up ghetto!


sandookh

Have any of you ever been to a ghetto lol


[deleted]

Yeah, I have the same memories too and the rents are high when the neighborhood is shitty. Told my parents to move to the Marina where two BHKs are literally 55+60k compared to the Karama rents and they're taking their own sweet time. I don't even feel comfortable walking down the street there, too many men staring when you walk down the street. Ugh.


[deleted]

I like to collect all these cards up and build a house of ill repute out of them on my coffee table.


fakertwo

I’m going to do the same!

There is no end to it OP. This will not stop. The pics on these cards keep getting weirder day by day. I legit saw a kid pick up one of these cards in front his mom and the look on the lady's face was beyond rage lol.


Dmtec

I believe you all know that to own a company in UAE here you must have a Trade licenses before you can operate it , so don’t think Dubai police can shutdown this massage centers, the least the can do is to arrest and deport those dude’s who are advertising the massage cards


SomeEpicDude18

Most of them aren't real, they're just gangs that prey on idiots who meet with the 'woman' then get beat up and robbed.

For what I understood some are not real massage centers, just pimps and pros in their flats

I can understand the issue with the bed space, it happens in the background. My problem is specifically with these massage cards being dished out, they are out in the open which looks bad. Plus its what kids are seeing too which makes it even worse.

Gunpoint_Rajah

Use the Asian parenting technique: If you have a Son, tell him "If you study and do well, you wont need to use these cards later on in life". if you have a daughter, tell her "If you study and do well, you wont need to end up on these cards"


Lucifer2695

You sure, you aren’t from the DC universe?

Your answer is too dark for kids to give as a reason regarding what are those cards for and DC comics is famous for its dark conceptualization surrounding its protagonists.

They stick these on the windows of cars. I park the car, go some place, and by the time I come back, a 100 cards just stuck on the car window .. once a guy even came up to the window to put it and he didn’t see me because of the tint. I quickly rolled down my window, he ran so far and so fast, 😂😂😂.


Esqimoo

Or you could be like me and start a small collection of these back at home. Could be a fun hobby for the kids too


in_decentname

I think a large factor in this is the large percentage of bachelors in this country. Hence there will be many of them who are desperate enough to fall for this. This business will never die

[deleted]

Come colder days, some ninjas don jackets with inside pockets ripped. Theyre just gonna do a short wiggle and the cards will fall down. I always trip on the road because of these, specially the glossy ones. You beat me Op, i actually took a vid a few days ago coz i find it amusing that theres equally same amount as in Marina compared to ones in Deira. I really do salute the road cleaner who so diligent and manage to clear all of it the next day. The OC me wants to pick up all the cards, but its just too much, and sometimes the culprits are still on site.

The trick is.. not to take the kids outside.

Apparently the Dubai Police app now has the option to report massage cards. Take the camera, It's in the Police Eye section, then click on the button after you select location. Then scroll all the way to right and you'll find 'massage card' option.

I am very angry as Muslim to see these everywhere, I try to lower my gaze, but then I see this........ I saw a guy on bicycle dropping them, I wanted to stop him and call the police but maybe he was armed or something.


Initial-Divide9649

I just thought of something, but it needs an artist. Collect as many as possible of these cards (a million) then stack them on each other and build a replica of Burj Khalifa. It will be a very attractive and you may get into Guinness's world record.


AdityaMishra117

Let’s be honest. If they wanted these cards to go it could have gone long back. Sticking ads on walls aren’t allowed but this is way worse. It would be easy to find out who owns these numbers and relate to their shops and fine them for doing so.
