Nah if it came down to a fight for oil who do you think can field a larger army a nation of 1 billion or a nation of 300 million. And in a world where wars are being fought over oil forget using machines to even the advantage- Infantry rules!!!
And hippies!! Dont forget the hippies!! Before Ford came along America was basically an Agricultural nation with most of the population living on farms. Now most of the population lives in cities and thank god for that. Rural areas are the cess pit of the human condition and the faster India can get its people into cities the better and if it takes cheap cars to do it fine (though I would prefer mass transit) At least if we get the air polluted enough the hippies will stop backpacking here to shit on our streets !
Count the zeroes. You said 29 billion and not 29 million. Even the entire worlds population including babies and children is still 6 billion
But oh thats OK . We will keep sending the excess off to America. After all its pretty much empty (most of the land is owned by the Federal department of Interior) and smart people are needed in America all the time. So everyone benefits. India keeps its population almost constant till it reaches the level of development where people stop having a lot of kids an the population starts falling . Meanwhile America gets a lot of smart people to keep their economy running.
Who's the idiot who modded parent insightful. The inbred redneck does not even know that telling lies is not the same as being Insightful Rush Limbaugh notwithstanding. Indian pollution standards are stricter than America's and California's.They match European standards and the Nano meets the future Euro V standard which even Europe has not shifted to yet. Car insurance is compulsory and everyone has at least 3rd party insurance. Every car has to go through a pollution check after every year and cars older than 15 years are mandatorily junked. Seat belts are compulsory. Air Bags are not as most Indian traffic is inside cities and at lower speed collisions Air bags cause more injuries than they prevent. People who plan to do cross country drives buy larger more expensive cars with air bags. The so called American way of life is just 80 years old and based on cheap Texas and Alaska oil and industrial farming on empty farmland(grabbed through genocide). I dont see Americans as any superior/innovative/industrious than the Sheikhs who traded in their camels for BMWs when they found oil. The American century has been built on a resource boom. Whatever innovation has happened has been done by first generation immigrants. Now that the cheap resources are running out , the smart people will stop immigrating and the center of the world is bound to shift back to India-China which have for 99% of history been the biggest economies of the world. As for gas prices India already has high gas taxes to encourage fuel conservation. Gas costs around 5 dollar a gallon currently and people drive accordingly with no wasted trips.
Like a cave called the USA and everyone else is the other? Been there done that even won reelection for doing that- regards George
If you like reading fine print you may also discover that EEZ and territorial waters are not the same thing. EEZ only gives you the right to economic exploitation like fishing etc but you do not have any police powers. It would be perfectly fine for a boat to anchor 12 miles from San Francisco and serve cannabis on board. Also all territorial water and EEZ limits are applicable only when there is not another country with claim to the same water. e.g. If there are two island nations 5 miles apart there territorial water would be only 2.5 miles as the line would be drawn equidistant. While this does not become a factor as often for the 12 mile limit for the 200 mile limit it is in effect pretty much of the time. Otherwise Florida would be inside the Cuban EEZ as it is definitely less than 200 miles from Cuba.
All I hear is blah blah blh Blame the big corporation. Well I have news for you . The cruise company is also a big corporation and the correct people to sue in this situation. The customer should enter a joint suit with AT&T and the international service partner and sue the cruise company for triple damages for switching on an international cell tower where its not supposed to be. However it should not be too difficult to have a way of the switching on and switching off of the tower be automatic based on gps signals. Then if the tower switches on wrongly you sue the GPS provider
BTW as the port of Miami is surrounded by high rise buildings which are using micro cells maybe there is no signal on the water. And the system could have been configured to first search for a home signal and only then go to roaming and still ended up on roaming. Only in such a case would AT&T be liable.
Oh cmon Rambo 1 may have been about fighting the system but by Rambo 3 it was following the official CIA approved line on Afghanistan.Incidentally Osama was doing the same thing then as now , preventing the education of girls but as it was schools started by Russians CIA felt it perfectly legitimate to provide C4 for suicide bombing the schools. And Die Hard was just blowing up things and people dying in new and creative ways. How does that have ANYthing to do with standing up to the system.
Oh really you spent time in India? How many times did you find somebody jumping into a tank of shit to get an autograph? To put it simply Slumdog is as realistic a depiction of India as Die Hard is of America. If you are the juvenile type who believes things like Die Hard happen than sure you might believe Slumdog too. Actually if Danny boy had stuck to pure dark comedy it would have been better. Here he tries to parody the Hindi film industry but the parody is too subtle and ends up offending by appearing to be a serious movie. Of course when most of the people(B list directors and technicians mostly) who vote for these awards have not even got passports (their idea of a foreign country is Canada) it is too much to expect cultural sensitivity.
Would Slumdog have been even noticed had it not been made by a British Director? Thousands of movies have been made about poverty in India. They get as much attention as movies made about drugs in American cities. People deal with this shit in their everyday life and dont want to watch it when they pay to enter a theater for some relaxation. Only people who have never seen poverty get their rocks off by watching something like Slumdog. Then again probably why Rambo and Die Hard were so popular outside the States was that guns are a big deal in countries with gun control.
Did you just say SUB marines stay always at the surface of the ocean:0)???
Nah I think the French tried to communicate their position but unfortunately they spoke in English. However everyone knows only immigrants serve in the British-American forces so they should have tried Urdu or Spanish first.
The wall served its purpose. To Invade France the Germans had to invade Belgium first and that made them the villains as the Belgians had done nothing to them. France on the other hand had taken huge parts of German land and industry after WW1 so if Germany had attacked France and Poland and only those countries as these two had taken German land the rest of the world including Britain would have stayed out of the war. But once the Germans drove around and invaded Belgium the gloves came off and it was total war.
Any program which runs right is obsolete.
