World Politics
due to Off Topic ramblings by many in various threads, I have taken it upon myself to create a thread which does not deal with the politics of one specific nation. Feel free to discuss the merits of various systems, International Relations, specific country examples ehre a thread doesn't exist for that nation, and anything else which comes under the Umbrella Topic of 'World Politics'

Except North American relations. There's already a thread for that.
The politics of the world... that's a bit daunting for a topic. Not to rain on your thread or anything Chrys. Alright, what does the term "Global Village" mean to everyone?

EDIT: Cross-Post with Nurvi
yes but here we have a thread specifcally for the discussion of politics at large, which should be clamped down upon in more specific threads, so, Che Guevara, anyone? global village - the term used to signify the perception of the world getting smaller, as an example, her I am talking to one person insweden and one person in america concurrently, whilst i am in england Last edited by Last Child of Ungoliant : 02-01-2005 at 07:11 PM. |

Yeah, I'm sure that's the actual definition of Global Village. Or something close.
Who exactly was Che Guevara, and why does everybody and his dog have a t-shirt with his face on it?

Che Guavara wasnt anything too special, he's just a pin up boy, hence Nurv, why every man and his dog has got a tshirt and badge... My local pub has a Che wall. Its just got a massive hanging with che's face on it, and everyone gets there photo taken on the che wall
Its not that i dont like him or anything but i prefer the revolutionary intellects, Leon Trotsky and V.I.Lenin... "Say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, but at least it's a ****ing ethos." - Walter

Chrys, you hate China?
JD, you hate socialist or communist countries? I don't think dictorship governments etc. make a country worthy of hate. About socialism... do you have a problem with Sweden? Or Canada? Neither country is completely socialist, but where are you drawing the line here?

three things to say today:
firstly, maoist rebels in nepal are once again in the news, they are being far too extremist, but it seems to be the only way to get the king to notice his people, i feel extremely sorrowful for the nepalese secondly, congratulations to Nambariin Enkhbayar, President of Mongolia, formerly of the ruling communist party. first policy of the new government, to target unemployment and corrupt industrialists, so good luck with that one, mr president! thirdly, it seems that mr bush is unwilling to allopw president hamid karzai, of the new afghani republic, to control the troops stationed in afghanistan, does the american gov't want to continue occupation, or not? |

Actually the first two are great news Chrys. The third, is faulty reporting or listening in your area . We had the reports here too and he wanted control of US troops as well as the Afgan troops and that's something we won't permit. Of course if he really thinks he can control his country without us, I'm sure we'd leave in reasonable order.

Any thoughts about this European commitment to doubling aid as a proportion of GDP to 0.5%? Will there be any moves from the other G8 members to match this?

0,5% also sounds so terribly flimsy that you wonder why we 'give' so little, until you hear what amount of money that in reality is....
