GoPetition - Petition campaigns (United Arab Emirates) http://www.gopetition.com/petition-campaigns/united-arab-emirates Petition campaigns on GoPetition en-us Tue, 7 Apr 2026 04:24 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Unban Roblox In U.A.E https://www.gopetition.com/petitions/unban-roblox-in-uae.html?utm_medium=rss This petition is created due to the banning of Roblox In the U.A.E.
Roblox is multiplayer platform where you can take fun and learning together about generating a new game using the correct match of items. So it is a good opportunity specially for children to come up with their skills. The games are all made by the fellow player so there is a game for everyone’s tastes. If there are any concerns about this game why not add a age limit. Roblox allows players to create games and in the process hone their coding skills as well. many people like Roblox as it mostly provides free gaming where we can interact with others. If the players find anything they don't like in the chat box they have the choice to close the chat box. I agree there are some problems within the game but the players are the given the choice to report these problems so that they can be resolved within the game itself. If the parents of some children feel that it is harmful for their children they can take measures to prevent their child from playing. Why do these parents want to deprive others of their entertainment.
(This is not at all related to this but due to banning of roblox in U.A.E. many users have started criticising the decision of the Government Authority and even jokes have been circulating that they are gonna ban youtube and social media next)

WSO is well known for our fantastic performing arts department and I strongly believe that not providing the students with an international trip that has a drama focus is extremely unprincipled.
Firstly, the reason why the drama trip was rejected was due to the fact that the workshops Ista provides are not conducted during our school holidays, however, it seems to me that the school easily disregarded this amazing opportunity without considering all the positive benefits that this trip entitles.
Not only will this trip allow for students to learn more about a subject which they are passionate about but it will also give room for them to develop important life skills that will be needed regardless of what year they are in or future subjects they are studying. Emma Boyle, year 10 student, said that "During the drama trip last year, I was able to develop IB skills due to the workshops I took part in. I not only developed my creativity skills but I also learnt a lot about problem solving and collaboration"
Furthermore, the students can experience a completely different culture from their own which will expand their horizons and ultimately make them better people. This trip will benefit not only the students' skills in drama but it will also allow them to develop important life skills they will need.

After visiting the Market last week for a documentary I am making on dog abuse, I realised that all these animals live in dreadful conditions and probably wouldn't make it past the week!

Together we need to end abuse!

]]> Sun, 6 Mar 2011 07:39 UTC 43613 Dubai Dog Friendly Park https://www.gopetition.com/petitions/dubai-dog-friendly-park.html?utm_medium=rss This petition, supported by the undersigned constituents, is directed to the Dubai Government and Municipality. Its goal is to support the designation and construction of an enclosed 'off leash' dog park in the Dubai area.

In creating a dog park, we hope to accomplish multiple goals:

1. To establish a fenced in, off-leash dog park where well-behaved canines can exercise in a clean, safe environment without endangering or annoying people, property, or wildlife.

2. To develop a beautiful, well-maintained space, open to all dog lovers and friends who are willing to uphold the park's rules and restrictions.

3. To view this park as a community project, in partnership with the Dubai Municipality, designed to satisfy the needs of dog-owners and non-dog owners alike.

Unfortunately, no off-leash dog parks currently exist in the vicinity of Dubai. Just as other residents enjoy the convenient of public beaches, parks, golf courses, and playgrounds, dog owners need a place to exercise and enjoy their pets in an off-leash environment.

So it would be nice if they came to Dubai during the summer and have a booth or stage in Modhesh Fun City.

P.S.: Modhesh Fun City is just a suggestion..it can be any other suitable place.

People are hating etisalat for doing this, and i dont really know why they are not responding ! Please sign this Petition if you really understand what it means of losing something you really love, or if you are actually a deviantart lover, artist, or a photographer who wants to express his/her feelings through art and photography!

Here are some comments from people in the UAE :

First of all, is H.Q and his/her post is below:

And now they've hit again!!

I came from Syria, where we had way too many blocked web content, only to be shocked by the MASSIVE senseless blocking strategy used here!!!
WHO THE ***** IS REPORTING THESE SITES!!!

I'm an artist, and deviant art is my online gallery where i show drawings, prints & photography to those interested, and share knowledge with fellow artists, learn and let others learn, it's an art & literature community for God's sake!!

I wouldn't say there's no nudity on the site, but 1) you have to register to be able to browse it, 2) you have to check the "i'm over 18" box, 3) IT'S F(*&#@$ ART!!! it's not Porn we're talking about here!! the retard who reported the site should know how to control his animal instincts drooling over each female "figure" his eyes could spot!!

and even with explanation provided back in 2006 by Etisalat... DATING?! don't you think it's a bit STUPID?! YOU ETISALAT RETARDS!! EVERY SINGLE SITE, FORUM, BLOG & PERSONAL PAGE WHERE COMMENTS AND EMAIL ADDRESSES ARE MENTIONED CAN BE USED FOR DATING... GO BLOCK TH %^$@!# WEB!!!!

Oh... and go collect your kids from the malls & night clubs... THAT'S where they go for "dating"...

Etisalat, once again, has proven to hold a bunch of illiterate, ignorant and uncivilized crew, who cannot differentiate between art, literature & a human rectum (Oh yes, and if you feel offended by the word "rectum", then, my friend, you're no different from the one who asked for dA to be blocked... It's SCIENCE, BIOLOGY, PHYSIOLOGY, HUMAN ANATOMY, LEARN YOUR ABCs!!)...

The only thing i can feel now, is chokingly deep pure HATRED...

I'm sending an unblock request to etisalat right now, please do the same, or we shall start a new petition once again...

Please inform all those whom you know, every single soul could help...

Welcome to the age of Art suppression...

I AM FUCKING PISSED.

THIS IS JUST TERRIBLE. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW UPSET I AM, ANGRY!

I'M LITERALLY SHAKING, I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO EXPLAIN HOW STUPID AND BLIND THE PEOPLE WHO WANTED THIS SITE TO BE BLOCKED IS.

I'M JUST OUTRAGED.

WHAT THE HELL WILL IT TAKE TO GET THEM TO UNBLOCK THIS SITE? I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT DEVIANTART! BLOCK ANY OTHER SITE, BLOCK EVEYRTHING IF YOU WANNA, JUST NOT DEVIANTART!

I WILL ANYTHING TO GET THEM TO UNBLOCK, ANYTHING.

I HATE THIS SO MUCH.

AND FYI , I UNDERSTAND YOUR RELIGIOUS VALUES, I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU'D WANNA BLOCK SITES LIKE FLICKR. BUT FOR THIS, I HAVE TO PUT MY FOOT DOWN. MY GOD. DEVIANTART IS MY LIFFFFEE! DEVIANTART IS WHAT EVERY ARTIST NEEDS, IT BRINGS ALL THE HARD CORE ARTISTS ALL OVER THE WORLD TOGETHER, WHICH I THINK ETISALAT DOESNT UNDERSTAND, I FEEL LIKE THEY JUST BLOCK AND DONT CONSIDER IT BEFORE THEY BLOCK IT.

DO THEY EVER EVEN LISTEN TO US? I FEEL LIKE THEY JUST LAZILY IGNORE ALL OUR REQUEST FORMS!

IF THIS SITE ISN'T UNBLOCKED BY NEXT WEEK, I SWEAR I WILL GO DOWN THERE MYSELF AND DEMAND IT TO BE UNBLOCKED.

LETS SEE IF THEY REALLY LISTEN TO THEIR PEOPLE.

MEANWHILE, MY WHOLE LIFE WILL BE PUT ON HOLD, AND I'LL BE SLOWLY DYING UNTIL DEVIANTART IS UNBLOCKED. "

So, If You really want to support, sign this Petition and remember 1 vote can make a difference !

Till now no reason has been given to block the website. I request Etisalat and TRA to kindly respond.

In juja Rd we saw a youth electrocuted and two shot due to police brutality. We have seen GSU personnel beat youth senselessly, is this the Kenya we want?

It is really saddening and we still try to call a spoon a spade on such serious offences. Ali must resign as he is the captain and the police who shot two youths in kisumu during the three day demonstrations must be brought to account by the courts.

Why should we lose more lives to ethnicity and even more to the police?
