Statement of ignorance. ::)
Perhaps learn a little more about the Dubai before you jump on your Islamic Bandwaggon. ;)
-
ok "pedro 01" hahahahahahaaha
-
in Dubai, India, street lights are replaced with fluorescent muscle ladies.
-
As stated above, 60 billion is not really that much money for a country as huge as India
-
from what i heard, most of that money's owed to europe.
man, whoever went out there to the middle of the desert and told them building billion dollar hotels for tourists who can't wear anything but burkas was a good idea should get a medal.

What will Swampi do now?
-
Just go off the phone with Matt T. Between grunts, he assured me everything will be alright.

Not sure what India has to do with Dubai as it is not in India.
Dubai is officially a muslim country but is quite cosmopolitan. Other religions are allowed there. You can drink alcohol, women can wear bikinis on the beach, women go out to discos in mini-skirts.
OK - so you can get arrested for drinking orange juice in public - but that's reasonable, isn;t it ?

You're new here, aren't you? Let me help you, Dubai, India ;)

The great people of India will overcome this.

So ABBF's WBPSF(Dubai, UAE) still can held Men's World Champs next year?

really dawg? you had to ruin the joke didnt u?

mumbai, india
The same thought crossed my mind. Since Dubai, India is in trouble, I was thinking that all the foreign business interests in Dubai (including Matt T's and my own as well) should move our operations over to Dubai's twin city of Mumbai, India. I suppose the saying that "great minds think alike" has some truth to it.
-
I suspect that the global warming concern is being used to rein in the flow of petro currency into the middle east...
Dubai borrowed like there's no tomorrow to finance their grandiose construction-spree on the assumption that their oil revenues would never decline, only increase. Banks were more than willing to lend to them on the same premise. No one counted on the worst worldwide recession since the great depression siginficantly cutting demand for oil. Now they can't pay their bills and they're fucked. Sure it's temporary, but with the new alternative-fuel vehicles hitting the streets in a few years, their long-term future doesn't look bright. They may all have to go back to fuccking camels and praising their pedophile prophet!

Fixed.

No it's not owed to Europe it's owed to banks that were nationalized this past year England. The English people are on the line for most of the money that has been lent to Dubai. This was in the news today. Citigroup is only on the hook for around $8 billion officially but I'm sure it's MUCH MUCH MORE.
-
Fixed.
LOL

i dont see THAT happening...
now you r starting to sound like a damn liberal >:(
-
lol at a country basing it's entire economy on tourism, so when its oil runs out they'll have something. No alcohol, strict rules, desert, heat. Doesnt seem like a great destination for a holiday.
-

I think Goatboy's assertion is that it will and should be the Free Market that brings these energy efficient vehicles to the road rather than harmful beaurocratic regulations forcing Car manufacturers to produce them.
-
What will Swampi do now?
Swampi the cocksmiths Dubai schmoes wont be able to pay for his oil and thong rountines
-

Bingo. Tesla Roadster and whitestar, Chevy Volt, Toyota's plug-in Prius and others, BMW's hydrogen cars (a few years further down the road)... they're coming. Everyone knows the oil dries up in 30 years or so, and it takes at least 15 to cycle old cars off the road, so do the math.

They invested all their oil money into a ghost city lol

The only way that concept stood a chance is if they banned Islam.

I think they forgot to do market research ;D
fact is majority of people going to foreign holidays are middle class. They don't want to waste all their money on expensive hotels and materialistic garbage. Besides upper class aswell as middle class probably rather go to Europe or USA due to having better culture (ie. Non Muslim countrys)
-
I hear Dubai is in such bad shape they are considering moving to the Emirates.

Nah MattT will invest further to keep it in India

Abu Dhabi is the richer Emirate than Dubai because they've got all the petrodollars - Dubai has to rely on tourism and real estate now because they've only got 15 years of oil reserves left apparently.
-
"Dubai has expanded with ambitious, eye-catching projects"
just use the hurtful words you fukken muslim sympathizers
"dirty old oil sheiks stupid fucking ideas"

LOL...."tourism"......Who wants to go to that shithole?
What in the hell is so great about Dubai, India anyways?

There's no irony here at all... my problem with "camel jockeys" isn't the people, it's the culture (and the religion that drives the culture). My wife has no connection to that culture whatsoever. She's an American who was born and raised in the US to a lily-white father and a mother who was born in Iran, but was raised in Europe and is Western in every respect.

Um, no. They knew their oil resources were finite, so they tried to set themselves up as a global Mid-East tourism hub. Guess that's not going so well.

They knew their resources were finite in the long term, but they didn't expect revenues to crash in 2008/2009. Neither did the banks.
Either way, they're fucked.

doesnt really matter if Dubai is "suffering" financially. Abu Dhabi has bailed Dubai out in the past and will do it again, they have best part of a $1000 billion in the bank so their not worried in the grand scheme of things.

Funny (not haha, rather ironic) is these cars sometimes do more damage than their fossil fuel counterparts. Just more stupid people believing that the government knows best.
The Tesla is basically a government owned bailed out company the founder drove into the ground, scammed investors, and finally got some of the green+GM bailout cash. It's a perfect case of a POS guy being rewarded for being a POS. And the cars are still $100K+ -- it was supposed to be a commodity miracle car. So for them to sell at a reasonable price, they sell at a loss - now subsidized by the tax payer. Yey.
The Prius, Volt, Tesla, etc. are known to have a bigger environmental impact than the full life cycle of a Hummer due to the batteries monster environmental destruction once they die and have to be replaced.
The corn cars are impacting countries like Mexico. Just the other day I was talking to a friend from Mexico who was telling me basic things like "corn" tortillas aren't really corn anymore (mostly fillers) because corn is now so expensive they can't afford the real thing...due to ethanol.
We'll see about hydrogen cars. I like the idea but people w/o an understanding think Hindenburg. But in the ones I've read about, hydrogen is actually created on-the-fly and used immediately. Might not be the case in the BMW though -- I don't know.

Who gives a fuck about the environment? This is about freeing ourselves from an energy source that is not only going to run out in our lifetimes, but is currently controlled (largely) by one of the most backwards cultures on the planet. If you wanna hug trees, go ahead... all I want to have energy security.

fortunately, construction of LegoLand Dubai will procede as planned

Why would Abu Dhabi bail out a city in India? ;)

Everyone cares to some extent. Few care enough to sacrifice (much).
I was just calling out the irony/hypocrisy of the tree huggers. Al Gore's environmental footprint comes to mind. Another group are stupid hippies who don't realize that their daily farting is worse for the environment than their VW.
While respectable people (like Ed Begley Jr.) live what they preach.
And yes, I agree - I won't sacrifice my freedom for some polar bears or be feared into believing bullshit pseudo-science that a few elite want to use to bludgeon us into line - their line.
Speaking of pseudo-science/voodoo: anyone who looks up history during Carter will see that back then, they were spouting BS about how if we didn't stop screwing up the environment we'd trigger an ice age. And if we didn't stop having babies, the earth would run out of resources by the end of the century.

Cisco is down on 23.38, I hope they can hang on.

Adding Outback Steakhouses, Bentley dealerships, Metroflex gym's and protein supplement stores might just bring Dubai's economy back on track ;D
