Jacob do your really think ElM is going to start cutting off hands in Angola? <Staying out of Africa is an advantage; every foreigner who goes to Africa, ends up chopping the hands off Africans who don't fulfill their rubber-gathering quota, (like the Belgians did in the Congo), or polluting their souls by doing some other atrocity in the name of progress. > Or is he going to be a polluter of souls?

ElM, which is your preference? Have you done either so far?

How about Huawei and Ping? <The Chinese will be corrupted if they colonize Africa, whether the colonization is explicit (political/military), or indirect (acting thru paid proxies, and economic control). >

Anyway Jacob, you have confused your tenses as it's a bit late for "will be". They "have been".

The "global culture" attitude was the Euro attitude too against which I used to argue. [In regard to the oil industry with the Euro politicians wanting a single standard for diesel. I explained to them why that was a bad idea]. <There is an emerging Global Culture. It won't be Anglo, and it won't be Brazilian or Chinese either. It will be something new, a chimera with borrowed parts of all the cultures it replaces. It will be created by your grandchildren and mine and Jay's, and neither you nor I nor he will understand it. > In fact people are not globally homogeneous with fungible cultural requirements everywhere. That's the human as mere clone mindset espoused by TJ and the Made in China clonists.

Even within such a local scene as London there are wide cultural variations. I'm gazing out on a lovely street scene in London right now with no riots in sight and none in prospect. London has not yet become a homogenous culture. That does not tend to be how people work. Local things affect them locally. Cultural norms adapt to local circumstances.

heads of the UK, Nordic and Baltic governments are discussing means to achieve common social goals vital for ensuring long-term sustainable growth.
PM Participates in Northern Future Forum

During the two-day event, first held in 2011, heads of the UK, Nordic and Baltic governments are discussing means to achieve common social goals vital for ensuring long-term sustainable growth.

Politicians backed by experts from participating nations will be seeking ways to encourage women to take higher positions on the career ladder and also increasing the number of women entrepreneurs.

Another topic on the agenda, according to the Cabinet Press Office, is how to get seniors to stay longer in the labor market, with healthy and active ageing also being one of the main issues to be addressed during the current Danish Presidency of the EU.
