Kid Dynamite 7318 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 What a shambles this is. First a footbridge collapses the injured get taken to this delightful local hospital Then a stadium roof caves in today. Notice the lack of safety equipment on the workers 10 days til the games start, no wonder countries are starting to pull out their athletes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acid 0 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Also the accomodation and facilities have been described as horrendous. Inevitable cancellation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing that's made me laugh today. Sheila Dikshit ahahahaha if she has a son who was a footballer he'd be a headline writers dream. We shouldn't be having games in these third world countries, the cross over is too big, security risks too big, the whole thing is a sham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7318 Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 Whilst its not the most advanced country, I wouldn't class India as third world. Although I'm sure you already knew that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14021 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 India is an undeveloped nation non the less and I imagine large parts of India would be deemed ''third world''. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tuco Ramirez Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Whilst its not the most advanced country, I wouldn't class India as third world. Although I'm sure you already knew that. The average wage is less than £1,000 p/a, and 50m people every year are malnurished some even starve to death, whether you accept it or not it is at best a developing third world country.

Park Life 71 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 They've got more nukes than us and a moon programme. It's just that the country is literally so big it's impossible to provide for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But along with China, India has very little debt iirc and it might take another 20/30years, but they will get there regarding evening out the poverty a bit more across the country. The real problem is that vast swathes of it (it's the size of Europe) are still virtually agrarian/farm based micro-cultures. The commonwealth games stuff looks terrible though, probably don't take it as seriously as cricket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People shitting in the streets, begging, people starving, its nasty. Yet, they spend most of their GDP onb fucking Nukes! And our government has seen fit to give them £1.5bn in aid over the last 5 years. The cheeky fuckers are still deciding whether to accept the latest installment, I'd like to tell them to get fucked. Edit: And aye, it's a shithole, though apparently I was in one of the worse cities. Edited September 23, 2010 by ewerk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a real paranoia about China in India - imagine living next door to China who in a conventional war would flatten any army on earth.

Yes by sheer numbers, but if you had 50 of the hardest armed forces from 30 of the biggest militaries in the world in a field fighting to the death. There'd be 10 men standing at the end and they'd all be SAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
