Is it trolling to point out that your topic is not merely an exaggeration, but a complete, and utterly laughable proposition? :D

Yes, but in the past Dubai probably has 50,000 ciitienz and 15-30 billion in oil revenue a year.

that's like $$$$ for everyone that is a citizen.

Govt. probably gave everyone business loans and personal loans with no real term to pay back the money. Allowances.

"revenues from oil account for only 6% of its gross domestic product"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubai

Is that just Dubai, or the UAE as whole?
Because the CIA factbook puts oil as 30% of the UAE's GDP.

its in the first paragraph, it only refers to dubai

"Dubai is distinct from other members of the UAE in that revenues from oil account for only 6% of its gross domestic product."

The Mercedes CLK-LM is my personal favorite here. (Just before someone makes the mistake, the letters "LM" are VERY important in describing this car, referring to its Le Mans pedigree.) Going with pure styling, I'm leaning towards the Gallardos. The back end of the Merc is all wrong IMHO. If I had to own one, I'd want the Lotus because, with its Toyota motor, it's the most reliable one here, and its handling can keep up with all the stuff on the rest of the page. #2 would be the Ford GT. The fastest one here is the Koenigsegg CCR, which most people have never heard of. I like the picture of the race of the Carrera GT against the Enzo.

How the hell am I an idiot?
Do you even know wtf you are talking about or do you like to go up against a genius such as myself? You can never prove anything I say to be incorrect.

The majority of the people in the UAE are NON CITIZENS.

Saudi Arabia has a program that gives out business loans to citizens. The only requirement is that they be a citizen!
