If you read any foreign press, quite a few countries have things of their own to be chortling at. Greece, for one. The U.K., too. Their politics are an interesting read.

i sometimes read german newspapers. often it's the same news but sometimes you get a different view.

don't read any other languages well enough to read other countries newspapers.

Yes, doesn't matter where you are the jib of being a politician attracts the same sort of useless waste of space type of person. Those that are only interested in what their country can do for them. Where they can have their belief of superiority over the masses affirmed and get three percent more super than you because well they are just better, just ask them they'll tell you until your ears bleed

[amber-eyed-girl]

Yes, it's good to read different views on the same topics.


Unfortunately Politicians do seem to mainly be in it for themselves. Guess one needs a certain tenacity, fight and willingness to do what it takes to get there and stay there.

I guess one could use those words. One word that can also be used to encompass what type of person that wants to be a politician is Dick

well, i am not a scientist but can only tell what i have seen.

we had real statesmen in germany about 40-50 years ago who were concerned about how to improve the lives of the citizens whereas now we have useless idiots hell bent on grabbing as much as they can before they are chucked out.

it's probably the same in other countries.

ppl say that it's the system that creates these monsters. i say: we had the same sytem 50 years ago and it wasn't like that. yes they were corrupt, but not to the extend of modern politicians who seem to not care a nickel about the population but only see their own selfish interests.

greed has become a virtue when it was regarded a sin not so long ago.

greed is destroying not just the society but the whole world and as long as it is regarded a virtue we are doomed.

Yes the game hasn't changed but the players have.

We are on a journey. A jonty little track that is full of lies and backflips. With the odd bit of eye damage inflicting images of old men in budgie smugglers and lycra when they are nit wearing their suits and blue ties. Ear bashing sounds of um, tsk and ah ha and if you didn't catch them the first time they are repeated ad infinitum. Where blame is shifted on a daily basis
