1. I like the music.
2. so much wealthiness at the expense of the misery of the world. that's what we have become , we value confort and gold, and take family and friends for granted, what would the fathers that build nations for us to be free, would think if they see the world we live in and believe to be real. 
3. right right dubai-''great rulers who provide great jobs with great salaries with which I can buy a great house on great street with great stores that I get to in a great car, wearing great clothes. All with great air-conditioning systems!'' pepachar. its funny how people see this material city, but they dont see that globalized work comes from the work of globalized money that its been taken away from thirld world countries like mine, i live in america now but i see how this is falling apart
4. Dubai sucks!
5. The barefooted bedouins competing in building tall buildings.
6. Haha - Pork Shop "for non muslims" Just to be political correct. ;) People have problems...
7. @PepaChar yay live a rich life while other ppl suffer ! what a dream ay
8. your idea of the current level of crime in the united states is wrong. yes every country has its bad spots with gangs and violence but even in America those areas are few and far between
9. It isn't growing at all anymore! Dubai is ruined. It only grew as it did because of the anything-goes investment atmosphere of the recent bust. Just read about the abandoned construction cranes... or the migrant workers leaving at a rate of 5000 a DAY.
10. You are right Nonamearisto, I made a mistake. Tourism is growing at a rate to soon exceed their oil and natural gas industries.
11. That's a lie. They certainly DO have oil. It subsidizes everything.
12. they don't have oil, tourism is their biggest industry.
13. Order your civilisation today and receive a free pen!!
14. Dubai's buildings bought them $ 100 BILLION in debt and a collapsed economy. All of that construction, including the world's tallest building, were nothing more than vanity projects which could only be sustained under the now-gone real-estate bubble. A similar thing happened to Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur in the 1990's... only, those countries have actual land are in them... with REAL resources... the UAE has oil, but that is not enough...
15. At least try to complete your sentence man :D I mean, I get your point. People lost their money everywhere, from Wall Street to Khalifa Street in UAE.
16. Take a country and turn it into Disneyland. Now that's progress! Advertise your blatant and pointless greed to the rest of the world. Show them how souless and shallow you really are. Indonesia and dozens of other third world countries know exactly what globalization is. Dubai, you aren't fooling anyone but yourself and those with dollar signs in their eyes!
17. Your economic view does not qualify for the current global affairs
18. My forecast is that the economic condition is going to worsen a bit more until the cycle of growth initiates. Personally, given that the trickle down effect is biased, it will take a while until consumer confidence is regained. As for UAE, they are feeling their first pinch of reality.
19. Well, it seems the economic rescue plan is now in control of corporations through regulation (I hope for the best) :)
20. That's an extreme economic point of view with a probability of the events you stated to be less than 2%. I don't think America will be like Africa as long there is the Rule of Law that unfortunately some countries, including the UAE, do not posses.
