I was watching a show on TV about Dubai and its advanced engineering technology and rapid growth, with the rate at which its advancing and the various things it has to offer, the architecture and such, it made me wonder…is Dubai the city of the future??? The buildings look like they should be in some alien city on another world, they look like buildings 200 years in the future,lol. Besides Tokyo of course, do you think Dubai is gunna be another technoloigal super city?
They built a city for a three million people, when the entire population of the country is 1.7 million. And now, they are sitting there and and wandering why they can’t sell all those apartments. No wander they are going broke.
That new city is poorly laid out, there is only one freeway, with few exits, you have to go way past your destination to your exit, and then double way back.
City is not very energy efficient. They were going more for the “Wow factor.” A ski slope in a middle of the desert? For what they spent on it, and what it cost to run, they could have bought every man, woman, and child in Dubai a ticket to Switzerland to ski the real thing. Energy efficiency was not even considered when designing the buildings, they are far apart, too far for walking. You have to drive everywhere, the mass transit is an afterthought.
Illegal immigration is a controversial issue in our country. However, Obama hopes Congress is able to draft legislation to deal with immigration reform before the end of 2010. In June 2009, Obama asked Homeland Security Secretary, June Napolitano, to work with Congress to speed up immigration reform. In 2006 and 2007. Congress failed to pass immigration reform bills even though President Bush was pushing for them.
One of Obama’s campaign pledges was to deal with illegal immigration, yet it has not happened yet. One of the major problems our country faces is how to handle the 12 million illegal immigrants and how to prevent future illegal immigration. Some of Obama’s opponents are resistant to his ideas since they believe he is an illegal immigrant himself since he had a Kenyan father and an American mother.
There are several problems. First, the health care reform bill, H.R. 3590, has several problems regarding illegal immigration. The current law requires legal aliens to wait five years before they can access certain taxpayer-funded health benefits. Secondly, verification loopholes allow illegal aliens access to these benefits. Third, the language of the bill does not prevent illegal aliens accessing these benefits.
In addition to the ability to access taxpayer benefits they don’t contribute to, illegal immigration affects jobs for Americans. With the unemployment rate at 10% for November 2009, we are now facing the worst economic recession since the Great Depression. Consequently, Americans need jobs! Unfortunately, many Americans have become hopeless about finding a job and are no longer even looking for work. For others, many are either working a part-time job when they would rather be working full-time, or they are working two jobs just to make ends meet. Even though the job situation is desperate for many, our country’s leaders are considering passing amnesty legislation to enable the illegal immigrants to stay here.
At the 2000 census, there were approximately 8 million illegal immigrants in this country. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that illegal aliens in this country will increase by 700,000 to 900,000 annually during the next 20 years. If we care about our economic health and future, we cannot allow this exodus into our country to continue. Not only do they take jobs away from Americans, but they have an effect on the depression of wages, too. Today, we have 15.4 million unemployed Americans, yet we have at least 8+ million illegal aliens competing for available jobs. Furthermore, while the effect of illegal immigration does not depress wages on all jobs, it does depress wages for low paying entry-level jobs. In 2000, the average illegal immigrant either had no reported profession or no job at all. Furthermore, more than 1/3 were not even high school graduates. According to FAIR, “High immigration cities have twice as much unemployment as low immigration cities, and wage increases in low immigration cities have been 48% higher than in high immigration cities.”
It’s not that I am not sympathetic for the plight of illegal aliens, but I strongly believe it is our country’s resposibility to take care of their own people first. If you’re concerned about this problem, please contact you elected officials, and let your voice be heard.
Currently, one of the problems our country faces is a jobless recovery. A jobless recovery is when the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) improves but unemployment does not improve along with it. The GDP is one of the main indicators of our country’s economic health. However, since 70% of the GDP is fueled by consumer spending, when unemployment is high, the GDP won’t grow as quickly. Although there are several problems that cause a jobless recovery, illegal immigration is one of the problems. To learn more, click here.

about crystals skulls its stuff that makes 12/21/2012 make it look like its going to happen?
Most ppl say that the date 12/21/2012 is when the mayans stopped making the calender but……when they stopped making the calander it was becaus the aliens took them i laughed when i heard that but the guy telling me this also told me that the mexicans indians and aliens made 12 or 7 crystals skulls but i laughee about that but until one day i was wachtng the history channel and they said that the cystals skulls are real they were found in low areas in mexico
look on it in the internet so far 7 out of 12 have been found tell me what u thin oh and btw these skulls are made from computers chips so basicly they store memories but they say they know the past and the future well no one around the world knows how it works
btw i was bored i made this to entertain me and some stuff u might or not want to know
Winter solstice- December 21, 2012 – is just the revealing of the ‘antichrist’ or the ‘man of perdition’ at the mid-point of what Christians call the 7 year Tribulation (just subtract 1260 days to get the start and add 1260 days to get the end). Satanists and many pagan cultures from every corner of the world all throughout history have celebrated this like the Sumerians, Babylonians, Cherokee, Hopi, Chinese I-Ching (confirmed by Terence McKenna), Mayans (Pacal Votan; Chilam Balam of Tizimin, Mani, Chumayel; Jaguar Prophet), Egyptians, Celts, etc. This evil event is called “the abomination that causes desolation” that will be set up in the Jewish Temple’s Holy of Holies when the antichrist is imbued with the spirit of satan himself. When will Jesus come? Only God Himself knows exactly, but very soon in “the twinkling of an eye” and like “a thief in the night”. If you believe or not, that is up to you; either way it still comes.
Things to look for to PROVE it to yourself soon:
>Fall of America as an economic power and other ways. The buying up and consolidation of powerful banks and corporations by the government in a pretend “bail out” power grab to kill the U.S. dollar and bring in a one world currency.
Crash of other American banks and the nation’s financial underpinning: Operation Sitting Duck
>The Big One: Revelation 18. America goes down on the list of fabled societies nobody believes in any more like Atlantis, Mu, Lemuria, Hyperborea, etc..
>Martial law. (Google some of Bush’s executive orders concerning it- Nightmarish!)
*The fallen ‘alien’ agenda: Implementation of PROJECT BLUEBEAM (be ready to hear more and more ‘alien talk’ & watch your local skies for the show!)
Just in time for 2012! After decades of conditioning, billions will fall for it, but you won’t because we are talking about it here and now before it even happens.
(2 Thessalonians 2:9-12)
WHY DID WE EVEN DIG THEM UP?
>Revelation 13:16-18 Trying to make people first accept the REAL ID card (to get you in the system) and then right after forcibly implanting people with these RFID microchips- the coming ‘answer’ to the world economic crisis:
http://www.verichipcorp.com/
>The start of the North American Union and true globalization.
>North Korea’s weaponization for WW3 with ICBM technology from China which in turn was given it by the Clinton Administration.
>Push to attack Iran which will start WW3-the atomic war to end all wars. (If you think China, Russia, and the Muslim world would just sit back, you are a mistaken fool!). Escalation of the Georgian/Russian; Israeli/Palestinian; & Indian/Pakistani conflicts.
>Final push to one world government: The New World Order- The 4th Reich! (The brutal final empire foreseen by the prophet Daniel and John the Revelator)
>Rise of a miraculous and awe inspiring world leader later to turn world dictator.
>Push to one world religion where there are “many ways to God”.
>Toleration of everything but Jews and Christians.
>Temporary and unheard of “peace in the middle east”.
>Revelation13:10
>More world wide food shortages and famines.
>More earth quakes. More fires. Strange and severe weather.
>Major spiritual awakenings.
>Rise of Islamic fanaticism.
>Rise in wickedness and corruption.
*Take a few minutes to listen to what this young child uncovered:
Christians look forward to this as it means they will soon join their Saviour & Redeemer in the Millennial Kingdom of the next Age and their Heavenly Father later as “Children of Light”. If you try to equate 2012 with Y2K or some other date that cried wolf, then you will be making the worst mistake of your lifetime. Research all these things FOR YOURSELF!
Which state has had more UFO sightings in the past 10 years?
New Mexico
Arizona
Utah
California
Colorado
Nevada…….
and it’s not New Mexico…which surprised me…..
Whatever your beliefs are please use constructive answers…
Define what you mean by UFO. If you mean people looking in the sky and not knowing what they are seeing, it could be any. If you are meaning flying craft from extraterrestrial origins, then it’s NONE.

Recently in Paris I noticed serveral graphical representations of ‘bugs’ on the side of buildings. Why?
They were mosaic, and looked like 8 bit computer graphics. They could have been bugs or aliens or octupuses. Different colours. Lots in Monmatre, a few in Marais. Does anyone know what they are and why they are there?
In that case, it was a Space Invader.
These are done by a specialized artist that has placed more than 700 of them in Paris.
He has also started to colonize other cities from Anvers to Mombasa.
His website even proposes ready to use Space Invader kits.

I never thought I would get the kids to bed the night we learned that Aliens had abducted some people in Roswell a few years back. I saw Geraldo Rivera say so with my own two eyes. I told my kids that we were likely to be next because of our good jeans and high eye-Q’s and they better hide in the basement. They came out once in 1986, but when they saw our VCR they fuggin freaked out and over time grew more and more suspicious that I was trying to read their minds, because I always feel their heads for reading bumps. So do you really believe that there is a Roswell, New Mexico or is it just like Al Capone’s vault? Geraldo never returns my calls, and I need to let these kids out sometime soon because the feces is piling up down there something fierce.
They had a special on Larry King Live talking about the Roswell aliens revealed. And from what I watched, I believe they exsist.

Why do the liberal/democrats always run and hide from this question?
Democratic voters and liberals are heavily concentrated in certain areas…..especially Los Angeles, New York, New Orleans, and Washington Dc………
Ironically, these areas also have
tons of police brutality…like the recent shooting of a black guy going to get married in New York
Race Riots…..like in La
Massive welfare enrollment and run down projects
Mind boggling murder rate per capita
Gang violence
Hordes of illegal aliens
Widespread poverty
Is this the blueprint that the democrats have for the rest of our nation?
They say they are all for helping people out….giving them a better life
WHAT IN HECK DONT THEY START IN THEIR OWN BACK YARDS WITH THEIR OWN VOTING BASE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD????????
Oh, and I forgot to say the public schools in each of these cities are a joke….with a few exceptions
Areas like NYC and Los Angeles are also very rich areas that contribute a great deal of tax money to their states and to the nation because of the concentration of population and business.
I sincerely believe that “donor” states, like California and New York, under the federal tax system, should not be required to support “welfare” states, which tend to be mostly conservative and Republican, through federal taxes.
Factoring out social security and medicare, no state should receive more federal money than it contributes. The liberal donor states should be able to get their federal tax money returned to them so that they can address the social issues that generally affect high density population areas.

What do you think about the illegal alien riot in Waukegan, IL who were bussed in from Chicago?
http://www.alipac.us/
One small step for law enforcment, one giant step back for Illegals who protest our laws! I live not far from there andI know most on here do not know what you are talking about. The city government planned a vote to help Law Enforcement send (operative word here) CRIMMINAL Illegal’s information to the Immigration Department. Which means that instead of “Catch and release” like most juristdictions do. If an Illegal is now Arrested for a crime in Waukegan IL. the cops hands are no longer tied and they can report them to the proper authorities!
It seems so idiotic that the Protestors would even show up for this, I mean how BAD does this make them look. Now they are saying not only should we allow amnesty to the Illegals, but lets also let them go scot free after committing a crime here. Served time or no served time! How dumb can they get!
