amazing.. what an amazing waste of money

[LivingInDubai9]

haha !! might be, but at least that money is NOT wasted on sending out military to other countries to kill the innocent

[LivingInDubai9]

Dubai people, at least, are wasting their money (if that what you want to call it) inside their city .. such peaceful people . I am living here. and totally LOVE it

LoveDubaiForever

True, but instead exploited everybody who worked on the building with a wage of oh £3 an hour which was fair.. Oh and lets not mention the 60 billion Dubai now owes the world banks, including a cool 12 billion to England.. Still it is impressive fairplay..

@swallowthemind

excuse me but comparing what you listed here to what another country have caused to MILLIONS of innocents (children, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters - just a massive number of families) , what Dubai has done is VERY little!!!!

oh and regarding the what Dubai *owes* sorry to say this but DAH. the GLABAL crisis have effected the GLOB, Big organizations have collapsed ..

The UAE is a small and VERY YOUNG country. but WOW I am IMPRESSED ! in just little period, they accomplished A LOT!!! They came through many challenges in this harsh and deserted environment. To see what they have done is just AMAZING.

they came through lots of other troubles, and I believe that they will be able to get through this crisis . It is a learning experience for them, thats for sure. They are working hard to restructure and pay their debts.

It would be amazing if a sense of business acronym and self control was exerted over the whole proceedings. it was a pretty thoughtless, selfish endeavour which I bet some of the poorer regions in Dubai resent. Just as my country resents politicians caring about bigger areas then small shanty run down areas.. As it goes I think although impressive in terms of engineering and structural planning it is a act of egomania.

@LivingInDubai9 I don't recall actually comparing anything, both countries are morally wrong.. To say what Dubai has done is "Very little" is plain ridiculous when you consider to 25 million spent on a firework display was that very little? No very little correct me if I'm wrong is like erecting a small blue plaque in honour of a great composer.. That's very little.. To waste 60 billion isn't very little at all..
