Why is Waste Bengal so full of shit?
I moved to konnagar West Bengal in 2009 and since then nothing is going right. The roads are small and all kinds vehicles like buses, trucks, rickshaws, auto rickshaws(carrying 7 people??!!!), and the worst part is that all these vehicles are driving like crazy shit, there is one (no 3) bus that has accidents every week, there are no footpaths to walk on and you are always praying that you don't get smashed up by a 3 no bus. People are all hot headed hypocrites, like they are the bosses(inside they don't know a thing and they will pretend that they are always right), and they are always like jealous of other ppls happenings and other progressive states as they can't do anything creative or positive or funny themselves. There is a cyber cafe that doesn't allow you tube and another one that doesn't Mozilla Firefox , instead they use IE6, it's just to make money as the speed of IE6 is slow and it crashes frequently, so he gets to capitalize on that extra time taken. Even the services like internet sucks there is a local isp called Meghbala or wire and wireless, they complain that their servers are getting virus from the costumers computers and mostly the internet is down. And then if you tell them that you are not getting any speed they will tell you to close download manager and only browse or tell you to check you ping and again and again (F#$%$@g a holes). lols!!! And also they will put off the connection without notice on 25 of the next month for not getting the payment(they don't come to collect it before that). At least the paper T2 of telegraph had some cool stuff but then some idiots wrote to T2 editor and now they don't publish anything obscene to these ppl. hell if you can't appreciate or enjoy human beauty and sexuality go to Saudi Arabia you dumbshits!!! And another thing that pissed me off is that culture thing these ppl tell, that they have culture. Hell you all are just sticking to what your old folks have done before in the 50s, 60s and 70's then full stop!!you ppl are still living in that era of your so called culture. Those ppl have done what they had to do back then but what have you ppl done?!!! just made Wasted Bengal!!! and destroyed West Bengal.? I am a delhiite bengali and i HATE Wasted Bengal, it's like i am in Somalia or something!!!!!! Here they just love to create problems for others instead of offering a helping hand. These ppl are the least progressive and logical and they give the stupid culture excuse for all they things they do and don't do!!!

What will happen to the middle east once there's no more oil?
What will happen to the middle east once there's no more oil?
How is it expected that the middle east (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, etc) will sustain themselves once the oil runs out? No doubt the royalty will have pilled up enough money to sustain themselves and have enough off-shore investments to maintain that. And cities such as Dubai are making the investments to ensure a long term tourism dollars. But most individuals and governments lack both, and are taxed constantly by the cost of war. With no additional revenues, what happens?

They would eventually run out of money. The Saudis know they have less than 100 years to make as much money as they can. Worldwide there is a lot of oil still underground ( Canada has more oil than Saudi Arabia) . Also, natural gas fields are still constantly being found. Natural gas can be converted into hydrogen which can be used in converted car engines and in fuel cells.

The worry isn't running out of oil. The worry is how much time before someone figures some form of transportation that is cheap and doesn't use oil. That's the main concern. McCain '08
4 :
The whole world will collapse.
5 :
things in the middle east will revert to the way it was before the oil boom. Have you ever seen a former boom town in the U.S. that lost it's draw? The wealthy there will of course do just fine because of all the things you mentioned, but the average person will probably revert to nomadic herding.
6 :
There will be no Mid East by the time it runs out of oil. There is plenty there, it won't run out. By the time those resources are gone there will probably be no life on planet earth anyway.
7 :
The Sultans of Oil will finally discover peace and begin the process of integration into the world community. Their dependence on the world community for their survival will lessen the fanatical elements of their culture, and they will adapt to modern life and liberties. America the Breadbasket of the World, will naturally feed their people, invest in their economies, and assist their government. Being the most generous nation on earth and the most forgiving, peace will reign in the Middle East and Israel will live in peace.

That's one reason why ALL oil-rich nations should support energy conservation to the fullest. If the world continues to squander remaining oil reserves, those countries dry up and go away. They will be around much longer if they are instrumental in persuading consumers to conserve oil; adopt alternative energy sources; REuse, REduce and REcycle and minimize dependence on oil. -RKO- 05/26/08
9 :
They will diversify their economies following the Malaysian model. But they have a long time to worry about doing that, so there's no huge rush.
10 :
America will probably turn its back on the middle east because it wont have anything we want anymore so they will be able to fight amongst themselves as they wish without interference and will destroy each other. Basically our only real interest there is for oil. The Presidents say its not just oil but also moral obligation. I call bull shit on that one. We are using them for oil and oil alone because our government is ran by greedy bastards.

What will happen then there is no need for Israel any more. Israel receive more than 20 billions $ each year from American taxpayers to protect the oil.

Why do countries sell their military hardware?
Why do countries sell their military hardware?
For example, the American made M1 Abrams tank, we have sold a number of these tanks to Iraq, Australia, Egypt, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Why? The Germans have sold there Leopard 2 tank to 15 other countries, obviously so far I have only given examples of two countries tanks, but this seems to be the case with weapons and aircrafts as well. I remember hearing about Russia just making a new Jet fighter that China bought. The Russians are probably the best example of what I'm talking about here, how many countries owned and operated T-series tanks? T-72 T-80 T-90, they are like the worlds most common tank that have been in every conflict from every country even though they were originally made by the Russians. Am I the only one who thinks selling your military hardware to the rest of the world is a bad idea? sure you make money but then other countries own your technology and you no longer have a technological edge or surprise over future enemies because the rest of the world or atleast most of the world owns the same equipment you do.

They do it for profit, quite simply. The defense industry is an industry like any other. Just because the U.S. sells a Patriot missile system to Saudi Arabia doesn't mean Saudi now "owns the technology". Without ongoing US support, training, and parts, many systems would quickly become worthless. Iran has tons of old U.S. hardware they can't use because we stopped selling them parts and support services after the revolution. Good luck.

They do it to make money and build international relations, it's also good because we know how their systems work, as we build them. The British Royal Navy, I'm in, sells old ships to the Bangladeshi Navy. It happens all the time, I have no problem with it, as long as the ones their replacing it with are far superior. And, if they are only sold to countries we don't consider a threat.

You asked a question that falls right into my specialty. My current position is as a Security Cooperation Officer. I didn't read all the previous answers, but the ones I did read were all completely wrong. They say we do it to make a profit or to make money. Could not be more wrong! In my job, we assist our allies in developing their militaries so they can do jobs that we would otherwise need to do. In the end, it helps us. I'm currently in a position where I help equip and train forces along one of the borders with Afghanistan. Thanks in small part to our work, this country can secure its borders and stop terrorists, drug and human traffickers and this in the long run makes America safer. Back to the profit thing! In my job, I facilitate the contact between industry and the country in which I work. I help move the money and the contracts back and forth. And we are FORBIDDEN to make a profit off this. We also may not take a loss. Whatever it costs to purchase equipment and move that equipment from America to the target country is all we charge. So your position that we "make money" is incorrect. What we do is strengthen our allies. And our allies don't "own" that equipment in the sense that they can sell it to other nations. It is there only for their proper use and I have a responsibility to inspect and ensure that equipment is accounted for and is used properly.

How do the US and its allies prevent making the same mistakes in the war on terror we made in the cold war?
How do the US and its allies prevent making the same mistakes in the war on terror we made in the cold war?
"For too long, many nations, including my own, tolerated, even excused, oppression in the Middle East in the name of stability. Oppression became common, but stability never arrived. We must take a different approach. We must help the reformers of the Middle East as they work for freedom, and strive to build a community of peaceful, democratic nations." George W. Bush, Speech to UN General Assembly, September 21, 2004 I mean countries like Saudi Arabia,Pakistan,can't they become a problem later and especially Pakistan,are they helping finding Osama or just taking money form both sides,same goes for Saudi Arabia. Used a Bush quote to show that this is not a partisan question at all,hope you see that. Or was Bush maybe over ambitious and SHOULD we still just put friendly dictators in place? Yeah we won that one but it can be argued our enemy today,Muslim extremism was made or encouraged by us during the cold war to fight communism.Read Osama's biography.

We need to first identify an outcome for our actions. What SPECIFICALLY is it that isn't right and what do we need to stop or prevent? We need to break this action down into manageable short and long-term goals. We need allies. We cannot go it alone. We need to build coalitions and give them buy in and responsibilities. We need public support. The issue needs to be explained in detail to the American public. The first lie exposed on the road to war diminishes credibility, subsequent lies diminishes it exponentially. We need to exhaust all options before putting our Soldiers in harm's way. Economic, diplomatic and informational options MUST be used first.

actually the greatest lesson from the Cold War was Diplomacy and Containment. We succeeded with those policies in keeping violence in the world to a minimum. Imagine we even communicated diplomatically with our enemy the USSR. I think there is much to be learned from this period that would solve our problems of today. In Iraq the overflights and economic isolation had them completely contained and the cost was positively a bargain compared to what we are dealing with now.

We won the cold war, didn't we? Yes we made mistakes, but hindsight is everything. We are making mistakes now, and hopefully they will be corrected. However, national interests should not be abandoned simply because a bunch of emotional leftists think we are not doing things correctly.

8 :
The problem is we dont know what are decisions now will cause in the future but the facts are that a stance has to be taken with the proliferation of weapons and we cant do it alone. I think the alignment with the Saudis (being one of the few full practicing shariah law countries) are one of the worst things we could do but we have a drug addition to oil. This is one of the reason I think Iraq was so important to us. (but I digress) The cold war was between two semi rational countries that knew that if a nuclear war started it would kill billions of people but the people we face now have no regard for their own life. they are willing to kill them selves; so a nuclear standoff is not something they would use to stop their ideology. None of us know enough about these other countries and the reason we have done or will do what we will do with them so to condemn our govt for aligning with them is a little harsh to me. As we saw in Indiana Jones we have alot of different cups in front of us and we may chose wisely or poorly but we must choose to try to solve a global problem that if left unattended could destroy us all.

An endless war after all is the best way to co ntrol the people.
