rf (rat's fart) writes "Now we have to believe the idiot (chutya) and disregard global economic prosperity achieved, economic and financial literature produced and the fact that socialist/communist states (India/China)have reversed their policies in favor of capitalism"

What a totally moronic argument. When stumped by facts retort with "literature has been written and results produced" without knowing either the literature or the results. No results have been produced except increased disparity between rich and poor and no literature has been produced except for apologetics for setting up dummy fronts and corporations (in the Cayman Islands) to launder bribes and dirty money as the government sets up privitization deals, which ever since the murder of ZAB have been carrying on in Pakistan but have produced ZERO results regarding economic development for the very poor. Regarding India and China, they are leeching off the human resource developement that occurred in their socialist/nationalism era, not to forget that the Western industry itself has reached this level due to maximum protection (including wholesale wipe out of the competitors by colonization, as in the case of India)of its own industry from competition as it was developing roots.

Then,he writes "As for the sovereignity status, there is no argument since your entire thesis is based on hatred towards the US. "

Very easy to dismiss your opponents facts by saying you hate such and so, hate has nothing to do with it, I know the US better than you will ever know, I have dealt with its people more than and better than you will ever deal, and I can guarantee u their masses understand what I say much better than they understand you BS, that said, understanding the global setup, where policieis of the US elite rule, which have produced visible results that are killing our people and the people of the third world, including your relatives as well, amounts to love for humanity and not hate for the US...get that master moron?

Pretty good description of Sheikh Rashid bin Al-Maktoum and Dubai. One thing is missed though and that is the British management / administrative expertise relieved from handover of Hong Kong back to China and snapped up by Sheikh Rashid. That played a big part.

Second is the laissez faire atmosphere as long you don't break any traffic lights - for an expatriate/tourist lifestyle, including nightlife to beat Singapore/Hong Kong hands down, plus official import of hookers from ex-soviet states/China to beat Bangkok.

"official import of hookers from ex-soviet states/China to beat Bangkok"

... don't despair ... the cyclone club also offers muslima concubines at an hourly rate from iran, lebanon, egypt, syria, and morocco .... and acording to the hadith and sunnah, it is perfectly kosher if you are a two day camel ride away from home .... bon appetit !

rf (rat's fart) writes " self righteous pomposity. No one gives a ratass what u know or how much, "

Self-righteous or not (somehow the enslaved minds always consider exposing the mentality of their masters , "self righteous"), I have established myself here on Chowk, and just because you don't possess enough brain matter to comprehend what I write does not mean others don't value it. Nobody thinks much not even a retard of someone whose "meat" in the argument is "literature written and results produced" (period) while have knowledge of neither the literature nor the results. Should I laugh at this moron or pity his narrow minded existance?

In #21 read "Nobody thinks much not even a retard of someone whose "meat" in the argument is "literature written and results produced" (period) while have knowledge of neither the literature nor the results. Should I laugh at this moron or pity his narrow minded existance? "

In fact read it one more time that way you might understand this dimwit rf better.

The momin are mad because a city run by who they would call a kanjaroon and liberaloon is doing so well.

arre baba....all those getting excited about cyclone please note that the place has shut down. now whether it is temporary or permanent is anyone's guess. they shut it after the tiffany hiest in june / july this year when jewellery worth USD 20 mn was looted in full public view. those thieves even gave poses for the security cameras!!!!!

....i have been spending quite a bit of time in uae lately......it is now basically an extension of the indian market for IT services......and it is investing quite heavily in pakistan.......

......perhaps uae would be a good model for pakistan, as far as de-centralization goes....uae consists of seven emirates......together, they form a country, uae......however, each emirate has its own sheikh, who runs it any way he wants......

.....the central govt. only has a few things in its control....a common currency, a common defence force and a few other items....other that that, everything is decided by the ruling sheikh.......this includes cultural issues also.......one emirate allows alcohol, the other doesn't....one is conservative the other is liberal......one is westernised, the other is traditional.....

......each emirate has its own rules and laws.....traffic departments, police (?).....even the taxi cabs look different in each emirate.......one emirate has an economy based on services, the other on oil and a third on real estate.......

.....yet one can drive between emirates seamlessly.......and one can shift homes and jobs also......the visa one gets is for all of uae.......

........perhaps this is what pakistan needs.....delegate all power to the provinces......the central govt. should only have defence and currency and foreign affairs.......in fact, the federal govt. should be just a combination of the heads of the provincial chief ministers, who should appoint one as the prime minister - a position which should rotate between all provinces......(in uae, the head of abu dhabi is always the prime minister of uae, since abu dhabi is, by far, the wealthiest and largest emirate)........

.......each province should have its own culture, policies etc........nwfp could implement shariah, while punjab could be somewhere in the middle, and sind could be more liberal......

......this would make it easy for the citizens.....if someone in karachi wants shariah, they can just move to peshawar, instead of trying to convert karachi into a shariah based state.......if someone in peshawar wants a more liberal lifestyle they can move to karachi, instead of trying to convert nwfp to a westernized area.......
