I never like to exaggerate, its not a Colombo thing. We always underestimate and over do. I'll give you an example, when i bought air conditioner for my house, I always underestimated its capacity, and over done the air conditioner. ended up buying a system with 51KW cooling capacity.

raw materials? raw materials are very cheap compared to the end product. They can be imported at very cheap prices on international commodity markets. And we have a special relation with gulf countries due to the need for raw materials. Can you explain why division never helps? In school i was...

I didn't say sri lanka, I was talking about Colombo. G8 is about how large it is, it means nothing. Thats why Australia not in G8, but its the number 1 country. What does the G8 even do? is just some economic corporation? This threads not about what sri lanka should join, we'll decide...

Also I think our army is too large with lack of funding makes its ineffiecnt, and not practical. We should scale down the army from 250,000 active, to around 10,000. and maintain current levels of defence expenditure. This should give a per troop spending of that any modern army of around...

Sri lanka isn't that poor, Its middle income. Thats only cos of the northern and eastern parts. If you check a new IMF report, Its not allowing me post links here, donno why. It says more than 50% of Sri lanka's economy comes from Colombo. If you work out Colombo Income levels works out to...

I agree, I dont about the india. But SAARC diffidently should be dismantled. I wish I could, but unfortunately i'm not president. G20 is just large economies, the 20 largest economy, that's it. Thats not good bet. I could live that that :smitten: But out doubt it'll happen. NATO is...

Dont be crazy :cheesy:

I'm not saying we should join 1st world countries, I'm just saying quit SAARC first then, count your options. Seriously, who actually thinks SAARC has a future? you have to be out of mind. SAARC is more like a holiday for Mahinda, to go around party then sit around listening to some guy at...

Size of economy is irrelevant, when measuring low income. You can collnozie and entire planet fill with 1000 trillion people, and feed them 10 Rs worth of rice daily. then have an economy of $10 trillion USD which means nothing, as its still low income. Sri lanka is middle income.

I'm not saying join NATO. Just quit SAARC first, then count your options.

whats BRIC? We need to be part of a group like NATO, that do things so efficiently. EDIT: No not BRIC, we need to make a group with countries like, USA, Australia, Canada, UK, New Zealand. But they already have a group among themselves.I think the UKUSA community and NATO are by far the best...

Thanks :) a friend suggested it me. I think this forum is much better than the Bangladesh defence forum. The Bangladesh forum wouldn't even let me view their topics without paying them money. crazy :S :S I know this going a bit off topic, but can some tell me how I can update the details of my...

Hello, I think Sri lanka is wasting its time and money by being a member SAARC. If you look at it, all the SAARC countries are 3rd world and most of them are low income countries. How are you suppose to become 'good' when you hang around the 'bad'? we are wasting Billions of Rs to be...
