  2. Very good article. It's a shame that the same mistakes seem to be repeated again and again. Hopefully this recent financial meltdown will lead to a new era of fiscal responsibility.

    the thing is, they have enough oil money to ride out the current nightmare and build a beautiful place, on the backs of millions of slaves and probably tens of thousands of eventual suicides, which will be hidden.

    how the hell can anyone even walk around in 120 degreees with humidity.

    to me this is the best argument for oil alternatives, these people are sick.

  4. Not really. It's mostly a shithole.

    Yes there are some absolutely beautiful rural areas, gardens, but even the contaminated China has that. Overall, India is quite dirty.

    You could have left it at the sweat shops, but to compare the situation to slavery in the 1800's...come on you can't be that ignorant or stupid.
