I’m Indian and I think these predictions are great but can only be realised if there is a massive overhaul in the way the Indian leadership functions and the much needed reforms are implemented effectively as quickly as possible otherwise…..well we’ll have to wait and see.

That list don’t count problems like natural disasters.. ie..
Japan sunami and wars.. ie.. germany went from rich to homeless in just a few years. which ever list is made.. i think U.S and
Europe are the ones economies more likely to collapse in case of a long war.. plus they depend alot their economies on U.S. that
said. i think the countries who have been developing their economies quietly , without interfering with others business like Brazil ,India and Indonesia and CHina , and perhas Russia will be the most likely ones that will continue growing without interruption.

Although I am usually not the one to doubt the potential of the developing countries, this chart looks ridiculously one-sided. I am doing the math based on 2050 projected population for these countries, and India needs to have a GDP per capita of $50,000. Same with Indonesia. And Nigeria needs close to $40,000. Egypt needs close to $60,000. All this while these countries are significantly growing their population (in the case of Nigeria, almost by double).

Really. I remain highly skeptical. Not even South Korea multiplied their GDP per capita by 15~30 times in PPP terms within a space of less than 40 years, and they had the advantage of a smaller population and a low population growth. Unless some sort of economic magic is invented in the future that allows ONLY developing countries to grow SUPER fast, this isn’t going to happen.

Predictions so far into the future is useless anyways. I personally don’t attach much importance to them, but this one especially… there’s a reason why Citi went down.

Comment on Anti Gay ad in Tamil radio encourage people to vote Ford by I.Selvan

I have also heard the Ad in the Radio, which I was shocked … Because Canadian Tamils are progressive community in Canada, but they failed to understand their own religion, Many Tamils think Anti-Gay or Homophobia is part of their Culture, but infact they forget that Gays, Homosexuality is widely accepted in Ancient Tamil Nadu and India on the whole. Few examples I can say is The Only Gay parade of India or whole South Asia is conducted every year in Tamil Nadu ( Koothandavar Temple ) where hundred thousand of Gays congregate for three day Gay parade and festivals for Homosexual people, where all over India people attend to observe the MARRIAGE CEREMONY OF ARAVAN, who married to a homosex gay, MOHINI, ( Goddess Krishna ).

Second instance is very true fact Canadian Tamils in Scarborough worship AYYAPAH, god of kaliyuga, ( AYYAPPA TEMPLE IN SCARBOROUGH IS FAMOUS ) who born to a God Shiva who is Male and Lord VISHNU who transformed into women from Man ( it clearly refer to Gays ). So, Tamils has to be understand the very fact Ancient Tamils and Hinduism allowed Homosexuality in Ancient Days and Homosex are accepted and treated equivalent to God. But Modern Tamils ( Like those in the Ad says, he will vote for a Man who married to Woman , failed to understand the God he worship daily is Man who accepted another Man as his wife and bear the Child Ayyappa and they worship all of them as God ) failed to Understand it.

So As a Tamil, Straight Man, i am supporting for Homsexual rights, but I am strictily opposing to those Tamils promote Homophobia.. .. Like you and me, like men and women, Homosexual people has right to enjoy all those benefits U n Me enjoying .. If you try to show the Culture and Religion as barried, U Tamils forgot the very same culture and Religion allowed Gays and praised them as God. . ..

Ironically, new immigrant communities like Tamils who are very high users of social services and welfare system will be first affected by the cut in social services. Perhaps Ford should launch a campaign to weed out all fraudulent welfare abusers in the new immigrant communities in Toronto.

Skip Hop Studio Diaper Tote Tote is awesome.So several pockets – and not those little, worthless pockets, either. Almost all of the storage compartments are a good size and really assist maintain everything organized. The handles are a wonderful length and fit nicely over the shoulder; the tackle shoulder straps also stay put on my arm, which is actually essential as soon as you’re taking a infant. The bag looks excellent, too. Not as well fancy, but not as well casual. (I have it in black) The material is soft (can’t consider of a far better word) so it is uncomplicated to squeeze in to tight spaces – but yet it’s sturdy. I have a Fleurville Lexi carrier and I love it, too, but this handbag is kind of inflexible. I think that Skip*Hop may turn into my everyday tote. It is a little bit huge – so if you are not in to large bags this may perhaps be greater as an over-night diaper handbag.

The majority of Tamils are Hindu. That said, I was just pointing out the fact of how stupid the left is to not think a person’s religious and cultural beliefs do not play a part in how they caste a vote. You are not even thinking of where many of these immigrants are coming from. When is the last time you heard of a gay pride parade through the streets of Baghdad? A touring Queens troupe being welcomed in Sri Lanka? Do you got anything? Today, homosexuality is still a criminal offense in Sri Lanka, as it is in many of the states in the region. Sri Lanka is unique however, as criminalization also applies to lesbians. I am not saying it is right, I am just saying it is so.
