Too many wars of too few people with too little brains = “W”.

Too much money, too little emotional maturity.

The party’s over! Maybe not, though. Maybe some other “too much oil-no brains” country will toss them a coupla’ billion.

For once, I agree with you, scotty.

Dubai, disgusting (really, gross) opulence surrendered by people with so much angst and fear…

Just like Versailles just before the French Revolution.

Dubai?

Depends. What are you selling?

I’m selling kind green doo-bai, brah!

(It’s 4:20 as I’m typing this.)

Dubai has transformed from a desert village into a modern city in less than 30 years… whats happening now is the inevitable overheating of the economy… and the oil running out… but the Emiratis there have done alot more with their petroldollars than most thirdworld oil jackpot spenders… at least they arent spending it on bombs

All built with oil money so the “wise” can cruse a around town in a SUV.

Don’t forget that all started in the USA ..(the land of the brains) and why isn’t anyone talking about Greece.. Dubay will rise soon..

The whole point of Dubai’s massive building projects was to create a tourist destination so the country can still make money after the oil runs out. Guess they didn’t have a contingency plan for when the global economy is in the toilet.
