Nobody's going to destroy public property other than the occasional dude that steals the trash bin placed there by the state. Maintenance is one issue. Railway is a big issue and one that needs a revolution (like seriously!) from both the government's and people's perspective. It won't...

Bangladesh Railway, the one thing that needs urgent medical assistance.

A combination of renewable and non-renewable energy sources are the way to go for sustainable energy development. Clean coal technologies do exist. I would prefer if that plant is build someplace else though. "The attitude of most of Indian political leaders, senior officials, business...

Hasina should give them jobs. They need jobs.

A very astute observation sir. I have no idea about India. I have read many wild numbers here ranging from 100 million illegal Bangladeshis to 300,000. I'd say that there is a 'holier than thou' attitude going on there. But other than that, if found they overstayed, just deport them - Simple...

Ah...paperwork, the bane of management :lol:

It is true that many Hindus in Bangladesh have a '2nd home' sort of relation in India. But I never really thought of it that way. Just because they may have a 2nd home abroad doesn't justify attacks on them. It shouldn't. It's not just India, but people have 2nd homes abroad like in Malaysia and...

Perhaps. Perhaps they were given verbal warnings (loud-speaker? radio?). Perhaps the fishermen did not understand them and went on about their business. And hence, the result. They could have done the 'civilized' way like you had mentioned, yes. I agree with you 100% on that. They probably...

People actually transit through the U.S. just to save some money. I thought it was smart. Turns out it really isn't! :sick:

Even in light of HRC's experience, exposure and skills, I think the DNC seriously underestimated how unpopular she was to start with. I recall Shinzo Abe meeting Mr. Trump after his victory. It was on a positive note. Japan's leadership are nervous about him. Sometime latter, Trump labelled...

I don't speak Hindi.

Well, that was insensitive :/

Only that incident was at a river. It still doesn't quite answer the question now does it?

How do they know whether or not they have crossed?

The point is to make the other fool die for his country :D

Well as pointed out already, it is an old estimate from a Cold-War era. Things were different back then. Saying growth in proportion of equipment is quite irrelevant really. Many of the old weapon platforms operated by the U.S. were updated by newer technologies. As long as both military have...

A friend of my colleague was in transit through the U.S. Hours of screening made them miss their flight to Canada. And they had been Canadian citizens for 15 years. They don't even live in the U.S. One would imagine the pains actual legal immigrants and citizens had to go through. Notable...

So they are finally starting to open up and make some money. I do not know about the Yuan. But Euro tend to fluctuate a lot. Bad idea to invest much in them. Just as long as they are enough to pay for import bills denominated by Euro (which are a bit uncommon). The USD so far is the most...

And the Americans were static?

Drugs are actually a big problem among Bangladeshi youth right now. Well, there was one group of Thai Buddhist monks who smuggled tiger parts. They hid dead cubs in their temple. People can do all kinds terrible things. Do we need an introduction for...Muslim....monks...? I have a Walton...
