1980: India 181 B China 188 B 2010: India 1.5 T China 5.7 T regardless of future predictions it seems to support 'the vastly diverged since' claim. China's economy is almost 4x that of India's today where they were virtually the same size

Just because something can happen anywhere does not mean that they happen to the same degree. India has a corruption perception index of 3.3 (out of 10) in 2010. Below even countries like China and Columbia. The effect on education is jus

if they can pull it off (terms of service violations and what not) this will be brilliant, it is just a viral bomb ready to go off the things that can happen. I see chat roulette like kind of infamy very quickly.

I don't think I would take the time to input things about my car. (not to say that is a general case, as I'm sure there are people who care about their cars more) But even in my case if the oil change or tune up place i went to gave me a u

there may in fact be correlation between doing those things and being successful. and it is possible that both are caused by lowered perceptions of risk. I think I read at some point that people who commit suicide but survived were more s

you are absolutely right, most hotornot sites have that kind of low barrier to entry. my problem is that people who vote but don't submit photos don't really add to the project (not an ad site like hotornot and especially if they vote poor
