well, im working on 3, as i was shy at school, but i think ive improved on that since then though.

4 might be a problem, lol, im disgustingly honest and nice to other people (so im told)

education may not matter, but i want to learn much more about politics, both about issues i am familiar with and issues i know little or nothing about at the moment.


3. Can u stand in front of 300 people and sell your controversial idea and also lie a lil bit at the same time? lol

4. If you're too honest I think u risk getting frustrated in politics. It's a quite dirty business I've heard, even on the grass root level. Although we need honest people in politics of course.

3. hmm, i honestly dont know, i would certainly give it a shot, i dont know that i would need to lie though, lol

4. thats kinda part of the reason i want to go into politics, i think that politicians should be more honest, i would hope that if i can find a way to be an honest politician, that others would follow my own example.


U should hurry then. At least here in Sweden the culture is that you have to be active since youth (in those youth departments of political parties, people below ~25 years), that's a huge merit. Most politicians here are career politicians. I mean not just most, but such a huge majority (>90%) that it almost feels wrong if you consider stuff like life experience, experience outside politics and stuff as important qualities in a politician.

im 20, but i dont think there is a set age by which you must be in a party by here, i think career politicians are a good thing, surely representing your constituents and knowing the in's and out's of both the system and the majour issue's is vital to being a politician? you can't pick that sort of thing up when your 56 and used to work for some bussiness, imo anyway.

please define Life Experience, i would have thought, you get that no mattter what you do, career politician or not, ive had life experiences, and im only 20.

Life experience is things like having a mortgage, 2.4 children, losing people close to you, holding down a job.

That kind of thing.

well, i dont have the first 2, but i lost someone close to me when my gran died, and ive done "a" job, albeit voluntary work (infact im doing it till i do my course, lol)

how would paying a mortgage and 2.4 kids make you bettter prepared for a job than someone who has worked hard for 6-8 years to get that job?

Usually politicians get criticized for not having contact with reality, not being in touch with ordinary people and their struggles.

But it's mostly socialist workers who bring up that argument lol.

Globalisation has really helped some countries. I mean, look at South Korea, globalisation really pulled that through to being one of the nicest countries in Asia to live in. And what it's currently doing to China and India is nothing short of amazing.

However, I don't think it's sunshine and skittles everywhere. Take Indonesia, for example, many of the rights of Indonesian people have been removed to allow for firms to cheaply operate in the country. Mind you, Indonesia has been the Western world's pissing ground since the days of Empires.


But what's the alternative? That Indonesia would be stuck on the same level with Vietmom, Kambodja and Laos? That would be even worse.

I don't think there is an alternative, I believe that globalisation is the best way forward. But like everything else, there are problems.

As for Indonesia, that was fucked up by the European Empires coming in and sucking out all its resources, we then had the socialist genocides a few decades ago led by the Brits and the Americans, where a new Government was installed that would let our firms come in and exploit the drained Indonesians.

I just think we should give them a break.

---

My views on globalisation is pretty much "rough first, then smooth" - conditions will get better in these countries over the next 20 and 30 years, and who knows, by 2050 much of the far-East could have similar standards of living to some of the European countries.

 

I have to strongly agree, that globalisation is a good thing, but still I have to strongly disagree with the question, as I think it shouldn't serve trans-national corporations.

Should drugs be legal?

I think so. But apply the same regulations for cigerattes and alcohol.

God Lord you "open minded" liberals are dumb sometimes.
