1. Okay...well, don't you worry 'bout that...the world was completely different back then...
    Now we have the World Bank and some institutes which can loan money to countries...
    Besides: for every poor country you have at least ONE rich country!


  2. Really? But if every country in the world is poor then there must be at least one country that is rich?


  3. Well, what I'm saying is, there's so many more poor countries, compared to the number of "rich" countries.


  4. True...take all of Africa and most parts of South America and Asia...what's left is Australia/NZ, Europe and North America. And even some parts of Europe are poor.


  5. Yes, my sentence wasn't really clear I see now...
    I meant it the way I said it the 2nd time...
    Agree with you on this one!

    I hope things do blow over mate, for your sake aswell as everyone else - but that said, there was a story about Iran apparently not abiding by UN sanctions with regard to testing uranium etc., but I wasn't aware of much more than that.
  9. Interesting schedule:

    From NBC/NJ’s Matthew Berger
    ORLANDO, Fla. -- Palin will meet with the presidents of Iraq, Pakistan, Georgia and the Ukraine, as well as singer and activist Bono during her three-day trip to New York, the McCain campaign announced Sunday.

    Palin will meet Wednesday with Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvilli and Ukraine President Viktor Yushchenko together, according to campaign officials. She will then meet with Iraqi President Jalal Talabani and Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari before hosting Bono, the lead singer of U2. Later in the day, she will meet with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

    The campaign had previously announced meetings set for Tuesday in New York, including Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Columbian President Alvaro Uribe.
  10. WTH?! Why Bono between all these people?! Trying to win votes are we? Too bad Bono won't refuse


  11. This makes me ill. Is she going to tell you all that she learned about Ireland while her plane was refueling? Who is the most shameful opportunist here?
