Re: The Wonders of Dubai
Lol seems like im not the only one with some beef against Dubai. But its not their racist attitude that bothers me. Thats something you have to take for granted.
What bothers me is the people who wonder at Dubai's marvels as if they were Dubai's own creations. Anybody ever cared to check Dubai's own R&D? They dont have any! All they have is bucketloads of money. Bring in technology from the west and cheap cheap labour from Bangladesh ($5 / day) and you have a great business venture.
Other places in the world might not be as breathtaking, but whatever they have is home made. The only thing Dubai can be really proud of is the money they have, which probably wont last long, soon after they run out of gas. Good luck to them anyway.
underthedome i'm i sorry didnt mean to discredit your thread. I just saw a video on one of the links you pasted. The one about The Palm resort/residences. Theyre all nice and dandy but to me personally they represent the height of materialism. I'd rather live a low profile life in my cozy apartment and take my chances in the next Life. Hey i'm taking God's word for it.
