India is pretty much ideal as a young country.

Give this a read. China and ME Sheiks are buying up farmland and land with water supplies all over the world.
They are growing and harvesting and then EXPORTING back to their own countries.

Chinese firms and Gulf sheiks are snatching up farmland worldwide. Why?

This story has been told since 2009 but we don't pay mind to it because we're fat and happy and think nothing is going to change.

Also, and off topic, is the fact that the Fed is in a "Currency War" with China and everybody else, and no-one is too happy.

So they can be expected to trade their cartoon paper with dead Presidents on them for things of real value.

That is what everyone should be doing with theirs, instead of buying Chinese junk at WalMart.

With 310 million people, there is plenty of natural resources and farm land to sustain us. China and the Sand people, buying up farm land worldwide, doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Bought my last Smithfield product. Although I have to admit their bacon was always lower quality than my favorite local brands so I never had any. Now I have to research just what all they make.

Eating dog is ok by me so long as it is all dog and not toxic waste added. I cook lobster and crab about the same way they cook dog. I boil water and drop in the shellfish. Doesn't bother me a bit.

The Chinese envrio. is filthy. Their engineering sucks. They were not ready to run what was left of themselves after what the Japs did to them in WW-2.

Going full blown red commie did them no favors and still isn't. You should see how those rice burners eat monkey! But you were nice to me this one time so i will be mice back and not tell you how that is done.

I will tell you that from what i have experienced in like there is nothing revolting to me anymore, well any more than a pipe dreaming liberal who has given up any and all real thinking.

China has completely polluted their own land and much of it will be unsustainable for habitation. Communism is the worst polluter of any economic or political system, bar none.

LOL..the US is included in that "buying up farmland worldwide" my friend.
Farms are being sold to "investors". Slowly your resources are being privatized.

OT: but did you ever see the pint painted apt building that washed out for incorrect engineering and just fell over on it's face? What a riot... A shear case of copy cat engineering. but the land was all wrong ..

That place was brand stinkin new, which was a good thing, since that means no one had moved in.

I can't believe Bill Clinton hasn't been crucified yet for what he has done to us and the USA.

The left are either blind or plain stupid. The whole housing crash is straight from Bill's dirty work too.

If life was fair Bill would be living in fear in a spider hole, and so would his trollop wife with him.

If these idiot left have their way they will have her as pres. That should seal the deal and make Bama's dream a reality Welcome to the newest 3rd world nation on Earth.

It makes me wonder if the Russians are taking any applications in advance?
