MAXIMUS POWERS Posted September 5, 2009 For a long time, those who lived in Arabia considered themselves to be privileged - living a life of blush settings and luxuries, while the rest of us lived on a meagre incomes and through civil wars. Today, Arab govts have turned their backs on these same people and all of them are attempting to making their ways to the West, those who are less fortunate have been deported compulsorily to the Somali Peninsula. Arabtrash. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
