While it's true that Twitter is blocked here in the UAE, you are mistaken on the others. BoingBoing works fine, as does MySpace and Facebook. Orkut however is blocked, as well as Flickr and Skype (the site, not the service). But beyond your fact checking (or lack thereof), I am flatly appalled by your statements regarding the UAE. Not that I necessarily disagree, but come on: "..your country sucks." "..talk to freedom-loving infidels " "..an intolerant country" I can see you are a complete dolt with a soap box, so it almost pains me to bother with a response that will go largely ignored (and probably completely misunderstood), but nonetheless.
