"Angry?" Then take a tablet. I must admit I feel quite serene about it all. All the ills of the world ain't my fault, if ills they be. Hey, lets not put our western values upon native tribesmen in say, Borneo. They know nothing of our lifestyle and values and consequently don't consider themselves hard done by. They're probably quite content with their jungle life or at least as content as humans? beings can be. Would you force your western values of accommodation, education and sanitation upon them?

Funny how the best debates and discussions are some way back and many of those at the front of the forum are talking a load of twaddle.

Oh well, as is my custom of late I'm off to order a curry and sit down with some Tolkein - the DVD! Hope it's a cushty as the critics said ?cause I've gone and bought it instead of my usual practice of renting.

Intruiging observations mannteufel - wish I had time to hang around and chew them over with you.

Sorry, again, any aggrieved, for starting this thanks to the ops for tolerating. A very agreeable site. (1 or 2 'e' ?)I'll take Woodgnome's comments in future viz a viz origination and copyright and also make a precis. Still, a lively Saturday evening and thanks (personally) for some very interesting observations. My Chablis await .... (and why have I had 5 hacking attempts tonight ?).

Ignorance is bliss, eh? Dictators would love you.......
Who said anything about 'forcing' them? Let them make an informed choice about their 'lifestyle' (don't you mean 'way of life', as opposed to whether they shop at Ikea or Conran?).
Unfortunately (at least for the Officer) that would mean
'educating' them. And all capitalists know what a bad idea it is to educate 'the natives'.......

[P R Mann]

OK, back on the case. Lord Of The Rings proved to be OK, but with hindsight I probably would not have bought it. It didn't elicit an emotional response in me - my benchmark for a dam good film.

Come on dude, you know I ain't ignorant of "the facts" I just don't perceive these particular facts to be a problem. They're just a jigsaw piece in the great scheme of things. A small but vital cog in the engine of the universe. Remove the cog or the problem, as you perceive it and the engine will start to splutter - as it did in Soviet Russia. Hey, I'm all for fighting injustice - aren?t I always laying into 'The State'?

"Lifestyle, way of life?" Dude, you?re just being pedantic, you know what I mean.

"Educating them?" I fear you are confusing education with indoctrination. Not just telling them how people in the west live but then suggesting to them that that is the way of life they should aspire to.

I am confusing nothing: and please don't keep saying that my correcting you is pedantry: it isn't, it's accuracy.
Education for the Third World would, to my mind, consist in giving people the wherewithal to make their own decisions free of possibly malign Western influence....where's the
'indoctrination' in that? What really scares the affluent bloc is the possibility that their economies will then do as well as that of those SE Asian nations that became the 'Asian Tiger', and will out-compete us.
Bush talks about Free Trade, and then imposes tariffs. Hah. Look at the latest xenophobic shite from the US about Vietnamese catfish, for a belly-laugh.

[Officer Dibble]

Yes of course it's accuracy, but it's also pedantry, as you and everyone else knew what I meant - you saw I chink in my armour logic and Cavalier attitude and seized upon it.

Haven?t heard anything about those xenophobic catfish though.

So, I guess you'll have booked your ticket to the next G7 Summit along with all those radical, camouflage wearing, 20-something future bankers, solicitors, fat cats and layers?

Hey, chill out dude there's plenty to get angry here at home without wringing your hands over the third world. Just been reading a Times article about the Gestapo tactics of C & E, blatantly intimidating British citizens and confiscating anyone?s Vehicle and property on the merest whim or suspicion that they have brought back more than their personal allowance of cigis and booze. Evil bastards. Now that's the kind of thing that makes me want to storm the Town Hall!

The truth is even the fabulously rich born with a silver spoon
in their mouth still suffer the same fate as the common man.
i.e. suicide rate,life expectancy,happiness/misery,drug addictions etc etc etc

Money doesn't buy happiness

No need for apologies - the reference to National Enquiror near the end made it clear it was originally for a US audience.
