"...and also to 'pull a train'- although the sheikhs only smiled when she asked "steam or disel?"

This is why the middle east is destined to be a third world shiathole forever. Instead of investing in education, infrastructure, and internal development, they would rather blow their money on crap like this. When the oil runs out, the middle east will become irrelevant and good riddance.

I guess if they can get all worked up about quantities of pot smaller than a grain of sugar they can do the same for talent.

Umm, usually when Sheiks invite Western women over for the 'weekend', they end up there for years without a passport to get out.

Not that I'd miss her, particularly.

Hopefully she ends up in one of their harems and we never hear from her again.

Yo know what? If you have 4 million dollars spend it however the way you want. Funny, how we judge others on how they spend their money but get pissed off when someone else points out that we don't tip enough or donate enough.

They are rich, you are not...deal with it

//just saying...

Lucky for her; she was running low on funds for her coke habit.

Actually, Dubai is investing in their future. All that crap we joke about (e.g. the indoor ski slope.), is meant to encourage tourism. That is what they are planning to do after the oil runs out.

You realize Dubai has very little to do with oil as far as their economy goes, right?

Of course you don't.

If the libs in America would let America DRILL FOR OUR OWN OIL, then those poeple wouldnt be so rich.

"Earn"? I don't think that word means what you think it means. Earning four million dollars means mining coal 50 hours a week for 50 years.

Jesus, the first two sentences in the link you gave tells that they don't depend on oil. What did you do, pick the first link and not bother even reading any of it?

Dubai's economy was built on the back of the oil industry, which developed rapidly after oil was first struck in the mid 1960s. Since then Dubai has developed a diverse economy and by 2000 the oil sector accounted for just 10 percent of Dubai's GDP


According to Wiki, that 10% in 2000 is now down to about 6%. Great find, genius, being that my point was that Dubai does not currently depend on oil for their economy to run.

Is that a real snake? biatch. Suppose there was a dominant reptilian species - whose minds and bodies moved so quickly to confound you that you could barely comprehend - that saw fit to toy with you for their amusement.

Despite the problems caused by oil shortages, having the Middle East become irrelevant would definitely be a good thing overall.

The majority of their investments and tourism is from neighboring Arabs that have few regional alternatives for business and pleasure. It's still oil wealth that's keeping Dubai afloat. When the oil dries up Dubai better hope there is demand for frankincense and myrrh or whatever the fark Gulf Arabs contributed to the global economy before oil.

You said their economy has very little to do with oil. I pointed out it was built on it. While today it only depends about 10% the majority of their economy is from financial sector which has large dealings with Iran (who gets their money from oil). But keep reading wikipedia. It is nice to know i am right in failing my students who try to cite it in class.

Carth

You said their economy has very little to do with oil. I pointed out it was built on it.

Did I say it never depended on oil? Couldn't you assume I was talking about currently and not 10-20-30-40 years ago? I didn't say their economy was not originally built up by oil. What I was pointing out if you bothered to read what I was responding to was that Dubai is actually doing something so that when the oil runs dry they are not going to suffer (well any more than the whole world). They have a lot of their GDP coming from other areas.

So, yes, you are right. Their economy was originally built with a backbone of oil. However, you were wrong in saying I was wrong because I was also right.

I only used the WIKI reference because I went and looked to see if I could find a more recent figure than the one quoted (10%) in your linked to article that used a figure from 8 years ago. I figured 6% didn't sound that unrealistic being that it has been another decade practically since 2000, but I sure as hell didn't state it as dead on fact being that I said it was from Wiki.

I normally try to ignore these kind of things, but one thing in this article caught my eye:

The Toxic singer - who's currently on a $1,500 -per-week debit card allowance following her public meltdown...

Jesus Christ, that's it. I'm quitting my job, becoming a poptart, and having a major breakdown.

you clearly have no idea whats going on if you think 4 million is a dent on the hood of the capital engine driving the smart middle eastern areas like Dubai
