1) he was a Saudi so I called him a Saudi and showed him what's going on.
2) I just showed you our "pure level of science." That graph wasn't made by me was it? In 2010 our output was 25 thousand papers.This year we will have over 35 thousand. Both Iran and Turkey are currently ahead of countries like Finland, Israel, Norway, greece, Austria etc... This year we will both beat belgium, holland and even Russia in the rankings. They are online and you can go check them out if you don't believe me.
Scimago Journal & Country Rank
3) Last year we went up by 18 places in the Human Devolpment Index which is the index used to determine the development of a nation. The 42 top countries are considered developed while the rest are considered developing countries. We're now number 70 while KSA is 55. Right now your country is only ahead in the per capita GDP department and we're closing the gap fast, which is why we went up 18 places. At this rate we will be a developed country by 2015. As you can see our scientific growth is 11 times the world average and that will help us accelerate our growth in every department.
Therefore, we ARE more developed than all Middle Eastern countries. we're an independent country under 4 ROUNDS OF UN SANCTIONS and yet we're achieving such results. Before me and you get old, Iran will be a country like Japan. I only wish Arab countries would wake up and smell the coffee and realize that making shiny buildings is not development. Throwing away your money on assets that will have to be renovated and destroyed in a few decades is utterly stupid, specially since they are not used for production and growth. Iran is building Metros in EVERY major city in the country. 15 years ago we couldn't dream of this. We are sending sattelites into orbit with our own launch vhiecles. Even 5 years ago this was unimaginable. In 10 years you will look back and see the mistakes your leaders made. By then hopefuly it won't be too late. Iran and KSA could become giants in the world stage and we could help all ME countries become powerful. The people of the Arab world are being punished however. The subservient nature of your relationships with the West is destroying development in your countries while all around you people are moving forward. Oil money won't last you the next quarter century even, What are you gonna do after that? You can't keep the 5 million imported workers without money and you don't have the expertise youself.
