You DO know how social democracy has changed during the last decades in Europe, don't you? Also, Hypo pertains to businesses and not retail private customers - so there is no squeeze on German banks as of yet. :p

That is completely false... There are more than 25 million people holding or with rights of Italian citizenship here in Brazil, and the south of Italy was "assimilated" greatly with marauders... so there is a great mixture into Italian "bloodline", and the Italians I see here in Brazil - from...

In your first passage you quote sensible words, then in the second passage you basically speak for acting in accordance to radicalism and biblical meaning... That is just a dichotomy, where you quote of doing the right thing fighting corruption but then ensue by corrupting your interpretation...

In business, trust is made through formal agreements as contracts. Sometimes you need a formal structure like that to get started. In this case, it is definitely needed - with oversight and controls. Then trust starts blossoming as long as it works. If destabilization of agreements starts...

Agree 100% that this is obviously false. It holds no such relevance in Europe and probably is likewise false for many places in the US.

Hmmm... Incest... that is one issue I would not take lightly upon. Actually, I've never considered the issue... Will think about this further, and try to come up with some reasonable answer - according to my more than libertarian view - I'm way beyond more for freedom than that. :)...

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article4882597.ece War on Taliban cannot be won, says army chief October 5, 2008 Britain's most senior military commander in Afghanistan has warned that the war against the Taliban cannot be won. Brigadier Mark Carleton-Smith said the British public...

I think you are right on this. The isolation of opinion that many restrain on themselves by only frequenting a certain specialized social aspect will eventually make them out of sync with the rest of society. I said in some earlier posts that people should manage and budget their time - think...

It's NOT the "common sense" really... It's an ability to "reason" and use the wisdom combined with some intelligence - not just what is obvious, but what is perceptive and grips the complete understanding - such as the ability of "lateral thinking" and problem solving by correct application of...

On that I would agree 100%. But lets hope the US president wont have to stay anywhere under torture and interrogation... It shouldn't be too difficult agreeing on that either. Not succumbing under torture and physical duress is not exactly in their current job description. McCain would no...

Peer Steinbrück the German finance minister talked to the Bundestag during the election process about how US economic domination has now come to an end - later repeated by Ahmadinejad and Medvedev. Everyone around the world are talking down the USD, but are still wary of the importance of...

Yes - partly... Indoctrination means that you are mostly void of critical self-reflection or not even aware of anything negative about what you are doing. Extremists and fundamentalists are the most indoctrinated you will find -- sometimes Orthodox Jews, other times Islamic fanatics or...

Actually, there is an objective and neutral way to view indoctrination - and it has to do with how much awareness is evolved around the "education", if there are any balanced critical awareness aspects. You may think that "nothing" can be understood from "subjective views" - well, newsflash -...

YOU are s e r i o u s l y delusional.

Less corruption - more egalitarianism in Europe... i.e less systemic bias of their intervention.

People who invest heavily in their brains through indoctrinated education do not exactly sway easily in their beliefs - however wrong they might be proven to be. :p

I think that as with most things in life - there is a mixture of intersecting interests and motives. There is no clear cut yes/no or true/false answer to anyone... it will always be a more complex adaptive system. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_adaptive_system Although someone will...

Of course, it takes a long time before any single individual has some significant impact on markets. But organized traders, contact networks etc - they already impact and sometimes piggyback insider big boys... :)

Bill Gates on Fareed Zakari GPS on CNN right now... Very interesting stuff. He points out the US having 1/3 of kids dropping out of High School, and more than half of minority kids dropping out... but he does not see the fundamental aspect of filling kids brains with "edutainment" as is...

The ultimate cop-out and apologetic action is not structuring the ideologies through "logic" from their belief system and claiming "reason", but it is by asking forgiveness - an internal process... internal through prayer or the absolution, blessing of one from inside the aligned social...
