The economy of 2050

That may be, but they still rank 63 on the Human Development Index.

Hey that can be fixed and can go up with time. Meanwhile Norway got first again and again.

Of course it can. However it is important you understand the disconnect between Human Development and GDP, a rise in one doesn't necessarily mean a rise in the other.

You can't just assume that things are going to be fixed. That's dumb. Unless they're showing increased interest in shrinking the slums, one way or another, things are going to continue to be shitty.

From what im told by Brazilian friends they are showing an interest in shrinking the slums and fighting drugs getting into the country; i admit they have a long way to go but there making a vast improvement for what there country came out of, especially compared to its Spanish neighbors.

I find your overreaction annoying.

I used to like Toast, but i agree with this statement. (but i am the god of over reactions in real life)

Toast is the shit. You guys are just soft.

I actually agree with Toast, it's dumb and annoying when people capitalize random letters. I don't even understand it though. Do these people just have hand spasms and randomly hit the shift key, or are they incapable of the most basic grammar and sentence structure? It's one of life's great questions.

When i die, that will be the first thing i ask.

I agree it's annoying but I found his post more so.

Its more of a dyslexia problem if your really interested, I underline key words so I don't forget them in books I capitalize key words in sentences so I know there key words, honestly I think I am fine now its just a bad habit that i have yet to grow out of.

I don't mind it at all, and my grandfather suffered from Dyslexia so its more then understanble.

So let me get this straight. Germany, their economy is just going to flatline. But China's, America's, and India's are all going to fucking explode?

Not to mention, MEXICO is going to be the 5th largest economy? You have to be joking me.

Mind you this was written in 2006 with no variables. Mexico being the 5th largest economy dosen't really shock me.

Your lack of faith is unnerving.

Mexico's government is actually working with the drug cartels and profiting off the buisness, duh stupids, theyd make billions in just a couple years.

Ha, aren't you that guy who compared believing in a G-d to believing in a banana? That was pretty fucking funny.
