    While all these political discussions are up and everyones debating can i just get everyones views on this.

    What do you all think about the G8 Summit and all thats involved with it? Do you think its right the 8 richest countrys in the world meet up spending a lot of taxpayers money in the process? Do you think the people who went to protest are doing totaly the wrong thing and do you also think there wasting there time.? Or do you support the protesters and think that direct action like this is what we need for people to take notice.

    All opinions welcome

    Reactions will always be relative. It depends on the issues involved and on which country do you belong.
    Well, when it comes to conference such as this; always expect that each one is there to protect their own interests either on economy or in Politics.

    Very true. My main concern overseas is AIDS. Now that is a serious problem. I think I heard a stat yesterday that said like 40% in certain parts of Africa have AIDS. :eek:


    World poverty is a problem that those governments are going to have to face before we can help, but this AIDS thing is a major concern that we should somehow be able to address.

    AIDS could soon be a problem that none of us can escape from.

    40%, thats a hell of a lot of people and iv heard figures similar to that.

    Im not saying world poverty is not a problem we all need to address. Just because we are not in poverty ourselves does not mean we wont be someday. All it would take is a big eruption or an unexpected ice age and the world could be turned upside down. We might be the ones calling on help from the third worlds.
