** What is all this GLOBAL????

Some of us were taught correctly,
But then with Governments and bankers and big Business these are the ones who did the damage for what? $$$$$$.

That why we are in what we are in now, WALL STREET fell over twice, same people.same families, same Government.

But the GREEDY want more and will not tell them to get it right as it may loose a few $$$$ for them.....

What I don't understand is why certain countries send their toxic waste to other countries to be disposed of. Is it going to do less harm there than in their own country? Surely it is toxic wherever it is dumped?

The term 'under-developed' when referred to certain countries is food for thought too because it is a result of other countries being over-developed that many problems have now arisen.

Those over-developed countries have polluted outer-space with their garbage too and THAT is everyone's backyard not just theirs because they have more money

Some of the RICHEST MEN in the WORLD are INDIAN and live in INDIA.
Their Wealth came out of INDIA.

Hmmm, FOOD for thought there.

Indeed!

If we could come back in a few centuries we would see such a change

People and human nature is the same all over.. It's the easiest thing in the world to point at someone else (another people) and say it is their fault. I've always been poor and live very simply. Whatever the rich and powerful do of my country or any other is not caused by me, nor anyone I know. All I know is human history is full of waste, plundering and despots. Blame throwing just makes room for yet another next war or something.. And thus one becomes a part of the problem and not solution..

flowerchilde,

It is fruitless if you are telling the World you are starving and have now where to live and you are poor,

Knowing that your own Government is tainted, and the Richest of people in your Country got that way from Theft and Lies.

Like I say, We need to clean up our own back yard before we try to fix others.

Thinking is very like mine, Good to know there are others who feel and think this way.

I could never trust "global" power in the hands of too few! I think that is the ultimate in craziness and totally illogical.

flowerchilde,

I agree with you, The smaller groups of decision makers only will make corrupt dealings/

I'm sick of the word GLOBAL. Those who should know better use it as a Weapon.
They use the word GLOBAL as a tool to increase tax and to apply new rules and the like.

When we become so smug at how well we did here, all I see is it will happen again.

Care is needed at all levels, We are not out of the melting pot, as many think we are.

More Doom, No, Just a warning for all to be very careful.

HICCUP/

Thats how I look at it, We all need to stop looking over the fence and start to wipe our own noses.

HICCUP/

If we fixed the little things we may find that there is no (GLOBAL)big things to worry about,

HICCUP/

There would be less of a global worry on waste if the local dustmen didn't keep going on strike.

I agree with much that you say here.

The Big Money will always CRAP on us,

Like when Jesus Christ thew the Money Lenders out of the Temple, Money lenders have not changed, They are now called Wall Street Bankers.

If people took more pride in their own traditions it wouldn't spread as easily. I believe that the only Mcdonalds in Greece is at the main airport in Athens where obviously the travelling global leaders are assured of one crap meal whilst they stay here. Greeks don't like foreign food so haven't been invaded. But for those willing to denigrate their own standards.....

GLOBAL, is a virus we all can do without.

The Illegal Immigrant is a hard one,

I do see some need to escape what they are in for some, but many abuse this as they are running away from their own problems.

They also bring them bad habits with them to their so said new Country.

What gets me in most they also pay $10,000 to travel, in these so said poor Countries where do they get that form of money.
I live OK, but to pull $10,000 out of the hat like they do, I just do not understand.
