Dubai's Request For Debt 'Standstill' Shakes World Markets
Commented Nov 27, 2009 at 16:00:05 in Business
“I was in Dubai five years ago and I saw a lot of unfinished buildings. I'm pretty sure that most of those projects are still incomplete. Dubai is trying too hard to be the next capital of the world.”

“They had all that money the Conservatives were laundering through Dubai. That's the problem with conservative-style economics: it always pretends the good times are going to last forever, and ironically it's exactly their horrible fiscal policies which assure they won't last very long at all.”
ThePhilosopher replied on Nov 27, 2009 at 16:07:33
“Uh.. you saw a lot of unfinished buildings because Dubai has been constructing buildings at an incredibly fast pace; at any given time there are probably 100 buildings under construction in Dubai. The projects you saw then are almost definitely complete; the city has been really good at building lots of things and doing it really, really fast. They haven't had a problem finishing construction, the problem is that they are constructing too much, too fast.”

“Hey, fair is fair. I'm as liberal as it gets, but Laura Bush did appear on SS and was a good advocate for childrens' education. OK, we can debate how effective she was in relation to W's 'plenty of childs left behind', but credit where due please. If I had been married to the man I would have thrown myself from a bridge.”

“What? You don't think lighter skin Blacks (especially women) are favored in the media? Ever watch BET or Spike Lee movies? Who was the last DARK-SKIN female lead in a Spike Lee movie? Why does Hally Berry have an Oscar and Angela Bassett (clearly a better actor) doesn't. Who are currently the famous Black female singers, lighter-skin women like Beyonce and Rihanna. Why aren't there more famous dark-skin women singers?
Lighter skin selection amongst Blacks occurs here in the U.S. too!”

“I know right...I've never heard of a white individual turning black because of steroid use.”
NewYorkStateofMind replied on Nov 07, 2009 at 19:30:40
“what are you talking about aoso? The article says that steriods has been known to increase vitiligo. Vitiligo is the loss of pigmentation in the skin. I'm not saying that is what is going on with Mr. Sosa, but that is a possible cause
The fact that you think that the only way this could be true is if we heard of white people turning darker as well is one of the silliest things I've ever heard.”

“Awful Democratic governor with a bad record and low approval ratings loses in NJ- no surprises there
The State of Virginia votes against the party in the White house- again no surprises there.
A Democratic candidate is leading in a district that has gone Republican since the 1800s- surprising development.”
